The cooling mattress I'd buy just dropped to 40% off in a surprise 4th July sale
Packed with temperature balancing technology (we're talking Phase Change Material, copper foams, breathable coils and Celliant), my team of fellow bed testers and I rate the Bear Elite Hybrid as the best cooling mattress of the year.
Regular mattress sales at Bear take 35% off the Elite Hybrid but this 40% off only appears around big-hitting sales like Black Friday and Memorial Day. Honestly, I didn't expect to see it in 4th July mattress sales and I doubt it will stick around long. So, go, go, go if you're in the market for a reliable cooling mattress this summer.
Bear Elite Hybrid mattress (queen): was from $2,427 now from $1,456.20 at BearAfter 40% off, a queen Beat Elite Hybrid will set you back $1,637 with the Celliant upgrade or $1,457 without it (was $2,727 and $2,427 respectively). Like the very best hybrid mattresses you can get, there are three firmness levels to pick from with the Bear Elite making it suitable for most sleepers. While 40% is the best discount we see in Bear mattress sales, MSRPs appear to have risen lately, with a queen last month costing $2,305 at MSRP vs the $2,427 today. So the mattress isn't at its lowest ever price (though it's likely the lowest we'll see from now on). Still, 120 night sleep trial, limited lifetime warranty and free and fast shipping are included, making this an excellent deal.Our review: ★★★★½ User score: ★★★★½ (based on 3,900+ reviews)
First things first, to benefit from the Bear Elite's full cooling mechanism you must upgrade with the Celliant cover, which costs an extra $180 for a queen size after the current 40% discount.
For this premium, you get a mattress that captures body heat and converts it into infrared energy that helps your muscles recover through the night while removing heat from the bed surface.
This mattress also incorporates copper-infused foams which help to transfer heat away from the body to keep the surface of the bed cool. On top of this, being a hybrid mattress means there's plenty of airflow through the bed.
The result? A mattress that's able to keep you call even during a Texan summer, according to our lead tester for the Bear Elite Hybrid mattress review.
Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro (queen): was $1,332 now £932.40 at Brooklyn Bedding While a Bear Elite would be my ideal mattress, I'm currently sleeping on the Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid due to its smaller budget. Today's Brooklyn Bedding mattress sale takes 30% off, bringing the queen size to $932.40 (was $1,332). Yet its quality, feel and features punch above this price point, as I explain in my Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro mattress review. And its perks (a limited lifetime warranty, 120 night sleep trial and free shipping) match Bear's despite its lower price. Our review: ★★★★ User score: ★★★★½ (based on 500+ reviews)

The cooling mattress I'd buy just dropped to 40% off in a surprise 4th July sale
As an active runner, occasional hot sleeper and, of course, a mattress tester, if you asked me what mattress I'd pick without a budget in mind, my answer would undoubtedly be the Bear Elite Hybrid, which just dropped to 40% off all sizes at Bear with the code FOJ4TY. Packed with temperature balancing technology (we're talking Phase Change Material, copper foams, breathable coils and Celliant), my team of fellow bed testers and I rate the Bear Elite Hybrid as the best cooling mattress of the year.

Details 30% off select mattresses See at Leesa Close Is July 4th a good time to buy a mattress? Right now is as good a time as ever to buy your next bed. I've been doing this long enough to know the standard sales from each brand, and I can tell you that these sales match those offered on Presidents Day and Memorial Day. That also means that if you can't afford a mattress right now, you can just catch the next holiday. Most brands run sales within a set range for every season. For example, Saatva's best sale is generally $600 off mattresses, while Nectar often runs up to 50% off sales for its beds. Should you shop July 4th mattress deals or wait for Amazon Prime Day? Amazon Prime Day starts on July 8, and we expect plenty of mattress deals across Amazon. There's a very good chance that many online bed brands will extend their July 4 sales to compete with Amazon's event. If you're looking for beds specially sold on Amazon, like Rolanstar, Siena or the Ashley Home Signature, then waiting for Prime Day is a good idea. However, if you want a bed from a brand like Saatva, Casper or Purple, I wouldn't wait, because I doubt sales will be significantly better than right now. Most brands have a set sale range they offer across holidays.

I test mattresses for a living — my all-time favorite is now $400 off in 4th of July sales
I've been a professional mattress tester for over four years and have slept on every type of bed in that time, and there's one I can't stop recommending: the Saatva Classic. This luxury innerspring hybrid delivers a brilliant balance of support versus comfort for the price, and for the 4th of July we've secured a juicy discount for Tom's Guide readers: save $400 on any size Saatva Classic at Saatva. That's double the saving on the smaller sizes compared to what you'd get in the brand's general public sale (just $200 off twin sizes). With $400 off a queen, the Classic now costs $1,699 (was $2,099) in this year's 4th of July sales, matching the cheapest price I saw it sell for during all of last year's big holiday sales (it was slightly cheaper at $1,695 in February's Presidents' Day sale). Saatva Classic: twin was $1,399 now $999 at Saatva In our Saatva Classic mattress review we awarded this luxury bed a full 5 out of 5 stars, declaring it the top recommended choice in our best mattress of 2025 guide. $400 off is the best Saatva mattress sale offer you'll get on the Classic for the 4th of July, reducing a twin to $999 (was $1,399) and a queen to $1,699 (was $2,099). I don't expect to see these prices again until Labor Day – and that's only if mattress tariffs don't send costs soaring indefinitely – so if you need a new mattress and want the Saatva Classic and for the cheapest price, this is the deal to consider. Our review: ★★★★★ User score: ★★★★★ (4,000+ reviews) The Saatva Classic is available in two heights (11.5' or 14.5') and three feels (Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, Firm), and it comes with a 365-night sleep trial, lifetime warranty, and free installation and old bed removal (the Classic is a flat-shipped mattress that comes via free White Glove Delivery). I slept on the Saatva Classic for seven months and recommend it as the best hybrid mattress for most people looking to increase their sleep comfort. It ticks a lot of boxes for me, including comfortable lumbar support, how easy it is to move around on, and how well it isolates motion (my husband stays up later than me, then drops like a stone when getting into bed). The edge support is very robust – the strongest I've tested – and the pressure relief is faultless (I have zero painful pressure points when lying on this bed). While not an active cooling mattress the Classic regulates temperature incredibly well, meaning there are no hot spots across the mattress. And as someone who overheats easily on the wrong mattress, effective temperature regulation is very important to my sleep comfort. For a slightly cheaper cooling hybrid, consider the Bear Elite priced $1.457 (was $2,427) at Bear. The Luxury Firm Saatva Classic would suit couples and average weight sleepers regardless of the position they sleep on. Heavier sleepers, especially back and stomach sleepers, might fare better on the harder Firm Classic, while people who weigh under 130lbs (especially side sleepers) will likely feel more comfortable on the Plush Soft. While the Saatva Classic ticks every box for support, performance, comfort and value for money, it doesn't suit everyone's budget. If you need a cheaper hybrid bed that offers good lumbar support, a cooler feel and a durable build, I recommend the DreamCloud Classic. I slept on the previous version of this mattress for three months and found that while it wasn't as instantly comfy as the Saatva, it was an excellent performer for the price – it's over $1,000 cheaper at $665 for a queen plus you get $599 of free bedding. Here's more… DreamCloud Classic: twin was $1,014 now $399 at DreamCloudThe DreamCloud Classic is the highest-rated option in our best mattress in a box guide thanks to its unbeatable price versus performance dynamic. It isn't as polished as the Saatva, but considering it costs a fraction of the price at $665 for a queen, it's well worth considering for smaller budgets. I have the previous model in my guest room and all of my family and friends have loved sleeping on it. My only bugbear is that some mattress protectors get bunched up on the deeply quilted cover, but that isn't a dealbreaker. The benefits are similar to Saatva's too, with a year's trial and a forever warranty, but the free shipping is basic (no installation here). The $599 of free bedding is fantastic value though, and as this is a common deal in the DreamCloud mattress sale you don't have to rush your decision to buy.
