I test bedding for a living — the adjustable cooling pillow I'd buy is now 20% off in the 4th of July sale
Coop Sleep Goods is a brand featured in our best pillows guide, thanks to the exceptional adjustable models they have created. Released in February, the new Latex variant boasts natural breathability and soft plushness, perfect for hot sleepers who like a plush but supportive feel to their pillow.
Due to its premium latex construction, the Coop Latex Pillow is one of the brand's pricier models. However, the current 20% off discount is the best Coop bedding deal you'll ever get. For mattresses and other sleep products, we're also tracking the 4th of July mattress sales live as they drop, so follow along. But first, let's take a closer look at the pillow specs…
Coop Adjustable Latex Pillow: queen was $145 now $116 at Coop Sleep GoodsLaunched in February, this Coop pillow features a dreamy combination of responsive Talalay latex and cushioning microfiber fill. You also have the option to customize it according to your sleeping preferences by simply adding or removing the fully-adjustable shredded latex and fiber fill. Our Coop Adjustable Latex Pillow reviewer was impressed by how it maintained a comfortable temperature throughout the testing period, making a great cooling pillow option for the hot summer months. Plus it comes encased in a soft cover made from cotton, spandex and recycled bottles. Yes, it's more expensive than the Coop Original Adjustable I recently reviewed, but that's to be expected by a premium pillow fill like latex. At 20% off in the Coop 4th of July sale, a queen pillow from drops to $116 from $145. Plus you get Coop's industry-best sleep benefits: 100-night trial, 5-year warranty and free shipping.
While Coop's other models are made memory foam, a material that's prone to retaining heat, the Latex Adjustable consists of natural Talalay latex, which naturally wicks away heat and moisture. This makes it an ideal choice for the summer heat.
However, if you're a very hot sleeper and prone to nightsweats, the natural breathability of latex might not suffice. In case, I'd recommend you to opt for the specialist cooling pillow below instead...
Casper Hybrid Snow Pillow: standard was $149 now $134.10 at CasperOur Casper Hybrid Pillow with Snow Technology reviewer was so impressed by the temperature regulation it offered that she awarded it 5 out of 5 stars. Performed exceptionally well in our tests to asses comfort and support for different sleeping styles, we rate the Casper as the best pillow overall. In our experience, this Casper model is a great option for side sleepers who love a soft yet supportive feel. At 10% off, the price of a standard pillow drops down to $134.10 from $149 and comes with a 30-night sleep trial, 1-year warranty and free shipping.

When will key aspects of Trump's ‘big, beautiful bill' take effect?
President Trump signed his sweeping tax cut and spending package known as the 'big, beautiful bill' into law during a 4th of July celebration on Friday. The measure boosts defense and border wall funding and makes Trump's 2017 tax cuts permanent, offsetting some of those costs with deep cuts to Medicaid, food assistance programs, student loans and clean energy programs. Some of the law's key pieces will take effect later this year, while others will not be implemented until well after midterm elections. Here are when the biggest parts of the new law will take effect: One of the bill's most contentious parts are its reforms to Medicaid, the joint federal and state program that provides health insurance coverage to low-income Americans. A number of Republicans were worried about the cuts to Medicaid, with some saying the party risked political suicide by adopting the cuts since many GOP voters could be affected by them. The question may be how many of those voters feel the effects before November 2026. Roughly 16 million people could lose their health insurance coverage by 2034 due to cuts to Medicaid and changes to the Affordable Care Act marketplace, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Americans could also lose their coverage due to new work requirements for the program. Under the law, adults between the ages of 19 to 64 will need to work at least 80 hours a month to qualify for Medicaid coverage unless they qualify for certain exemptions. Some adults will be exempt from the new work requirements if they have dependent children or have certain medical conditions. Medicaid's funding changes under the law are not scheduled to take effect until 2028, well past the elections. Some work requirements could come earlier, however. They are to begin no later than Dec. 31, 2026. The law will change the country's largest food assistance program, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps. Like Medicaid, SNAP will also undergo funding and work requirement changes. In the past, the federal government has funded the program while states take on the cost of managing it. Now, states are required to partially fund SNAP if they have a payment error rate of 6 percent or higher beginning in 2028 – two years after the midterms. However, the law also allows states will payment error rates at 13.34 or higher to delay paying for the program for two additional years. Previously, most adults had to work until age 54 to qualify for SNAP unless they were a parent with dependents. Now, the working age to stay in the program has been raised to 64 and only parents with children younger than 14 are exempt from the requirement, according to the law. The law does not specifically state the updated work requirements will begin to take effect but a spokesperson for the Senate Republicans said that there is no 'delayed implementation in the law.' A spokesperson for the USDA has yet to respond to questions from The Hill about the new enforcement requirement. The law paves the way for numerous tax changes, with the most significant being to the cuts Trump enacted during his first term in 2017. Now, those expiring tax cuts are permanent, effective immediately. Under the law, Americans living in high-tax states like New York and California will receive larger income tax deductions for state and local taxes, otherwise known as SALT, beginning this year and lasting until 2028. Republicans will be selling these tax cuts hard, since people getting them will feel them well ahead of the midterm elections. Some tax provisions will impact working-class voters. Starting this year, tip amounts lower than $25,000 will be tax-deductible through 2028. There is a cap for the deduction of a $150,000 income or $300,000 for people filing jointly, according to the law. The law also changes when overtime pay will be tax-deductible. Starting this year, up to $12,500 of extra overtime pay is tax-deductible until 2028. Again, there is an income limit of $150,000 a year for a single person or $300,000 for those filing jointly. Changes to the child tax credit will also take effect this year. Now, the child tax credit is $2,200 for every qualifying child. The amount will also be adjusted for inflation starting next year. Changes to the senior deduction also take effect this year. Beginning this year until 2028, Americans over 65 can deduct an additional $6,000 on their tax returns. The law undoes numerous tax incentives from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act for clean energy and energy efficiency programs. Under the law, $7,500 tax credits for electric vehicles will be eliminated starting Sept. 30 of this year – well ahead of the midterms. It also eliminates a $3,200 tax credit for Americans making energy-improvement changes to their homes beginning in 2026 and ends tax credits for Americans who make investments in clean energy sources for their homes, including solar panels, fuel cells or battery storage technology starting next year. The law also ends the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which helps finance local emissions reduction projects, beginning this year. Although it appears that current contracts under the program will remain in place. The bill will make some changes in how Americans finance higher education. Grad PLUS loans as well as repayment plans like SAVE, Income Contingent Repayment and Pay as You Earn will be scrapped and replaced with a Repayment Assistance Plan or a standard repayment plan. Grad PLUS loans will be replaced with new borrowing caps of $100,000 for many grad students and $200,000 for professional students like those enrolled in medical schools or law schools. For undergraduate students, Stafford loans will remain capped, and Parent PLUS loans now have a reduced lifetime cap of $65,000. All of the loan changes are set to take effect in July of 2026. The law also changes tax rates for colleges based on the size of their endowments. In 2026, schools with higher endowments per student will receive higher tax rates on their endowment. Schools with endowments between $500,000 and $750,000 will have a tax rate of 1.4 percent. Those with endowments of $750,000 to $2 million now have a tax rate of 4 percent, and those with more than $2 million will be taxed at 8 percent.

The Best Prime Day Mattress Deals 2025: Up To $575 Off Our Favorites
Now that Amazon Prime Day is upon us, we're seeing some mattress deals go live—including discounts on some of our tried-and-tested favorites. Our sleep team has tested over 200 beds, and our deals team meticulously tracks prices throughout the year to make sure you're actually getting a good deal—whether that's on Amazon or another retailers. So far, we've spotted markdowns on the Helix Midnight Luxe (our pick for the best mattress of 2025) and Vibe Gel Memory Foam (the best mattress on Amazon). We've also seen discounts on the Leesa Sapira and Casper Original, two more mattresses our editors have tested and approved. We've sorted through dozens of sales to find the best Prime Day mattress deals happening now. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTO: RETAILER As you shop Amazon's thousands of sales, we recommend sticking with reputable brands sold through the e-tailer—and make sure to read the fine print to check that brand-specific trial periods and warranties still apply. It's also worth investigating competitor sales, like from Nectar and DreamCloud, that are running concurrently to Amazon's. And for specific mattress-buying advice to help find your ideal fit, see our guides to the best mattresses on Amazon and the best mattresses of 2025. Helix Midnight Luxe (Queen): Now $1,799, Was $2,374 (24% Off) Leesa Sapira (Queen): Now $1,399, Was $1,699 (18% Off) Casper Original (Queen): Now $1,101, Was $1,295 (15% Off) Purple Original (Queen): Now $999, Was $1,499 (33% Off) Amazon Basics Cooling Gel Memory Foam Mattress (Queen): Now $244, Was $330 (26% Off) Sealy Dreamlife 10-Inch Foam Mattress (King): Now $494, Was $599 (18% Off) Zinus 12-Inch Cloud Memory Foam (Queen): Now $278, Was $399 (30% Off) Vibe Gel Memory Foam (Queen), Now $334, Was $397 (16% Off) Brooklyn Bedding Select Mattress (Queen): Now $328.50, Was $365 (10% Off) MOST POPULAR Amazon Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress (Queen) Our top pick for the best mattress of 2025 is available on Amazon, and it's on sale for Prime Day. That said, if you're nervous about purchasing a mattress on Amazon, you can alternatively shop on the Helix site and use code FORBES27 at checkout for 27% off. This hybrid bed features a medium firmness that hits the sweet spot for most sleepers, plus cooling technology to help prevent night sweats. We recommend this bed for a wide variety of people: side, back and combination sleepers, individuals under 250 pounds and those who sleep with a partner (though it's great for solo sleepers, too). Why It's A Good Deal: Although the Amazon price of the Helix Midnight Luxe dipped down $1,780 in June, it has yet to surpass 27% off in 2025—including over mattress-centric deals events like Memorial Day and Fourth of July. If you're a hot sleeper and need a moderate level of support from both springs and memory foam, you may find the Sapira from Forbes Vetted editor–favorite brand, Leesa, to your liking. Also, it's discounted by $300 this Prime Day. This mattress is 11 inches thick and features cooling foams atop pocketed springs that naturally let air flow through. Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen on Amazon since December 2024. If you're looking for something slightly thicker and more temperature-regulating though, the Leesa Sapira Chill (our pick for the best hybrid mattress overall) is currently on sale for 30% off on the brand's website. Although the Casper Original memory foam mattress has been replaced by the newer Casper One on the brand's website, it remains available on Amazon—and we've spent a lot of time with it in order to write up our full review. The verdict? It's a worthy contender for those who want a memory foam mattress at a fair price. It's also 15% off this Prime Day. Why It's A Good Deal: This is the second-lowest price we've seen on Amazon in 2025. We spent enough time with the Purple Original mattress to write an extensive review of it, and found this model to be a great option for those who sleep hotter, as well as combination sleepers who switch postures at night. Like all beds from this brand, the Purple Original uses a proprietary GelFlex Grid technology to cradle the body and relieve pressure. You can get $500 off this mattress for Prime Day. Why It's A Good Deal: At less than $1,000, this is the lowest price we've seen on Amazon for the Purple Original Mattress since 2022. This memory foam mattress from Amazon Basics typically comes at a reasonable price, but for Prime Day, it's discounted even further—26% off. It has an average score of 4.4 out of 5 stars after over 6,600 customer ratings, with several users praising its high quality and medium-firm feel. We've researched and evaluated mattresses from the Amazon Basics line to put together our roundup of the best beds on Amazon, and they've proven to hold up well considering their very-low price. Why It's A Good Deal: This is the second largest Amazon discount we've seen on this bed so far in 2025. It's also significantly less expensive than other memory foam mattresses we've tested. Sealy is a well-known name in mattresses, and we've tested a number of the brand's beds (both from the original brand and its Cocoon collection) for our ongoing coverage. You can find a handful of Sealy beds on Amazon, including the Dreamlife, which is designed with a layer of cooling gel memory foam that contours to your body and relieves pressure. This bed offers a medium feel, making it a solid choice for back, side and combination sleepers. Why It's A Good Deal: Because of their larger dimensions, king-size mattresses are generally among the most expensive beds you can buy. That said, this Amazon deal significantly cuts that price down—it's the lowest we've ever seen for this bed. We've evaluated beds from Zinus to determine our list of the best mattresses on Amazon, and found that the brand's extremely affordable prices belie their models' effectiveness. With a medium feel that's particularly supportive for side sleepers, the Zinus Cloud in particular includes four foam layers engineered to relieve pressure points. And at less than $300 during Prime Day, it's one of the best values for a quality memory foam mattress that's fiberglass-free and backed by third-party safety certifications like CertiPUR-US and Oeko-Tex 100. Why It's A Good Deal: This is the second lowest price we've seen for this bed in 2025. However, it may be discounted further as Amazon Prime Day continues—it was recently marked down to $244 in June. The winner in our best mattresses on Amazon roundup, this ultra affordable bed is ideal for a guest room or anyone on a budget. It features a medium-plush feel that's ideal for side sleepers, individuals under 250 pounds or anyone who likes extra cushioning. We appreciate that the foam is CertiPUR-US-certified, meaning it's made without chemicals and has low VOCs. Why It's A Good Deal: It's the lowest price we've seen on this model since April, coming within $26 of its all-time lowest price for 2025. Named among our favorite mattresses on Amazon, the Brooklyn Bedding Select Gel Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress provides a medium-firm feel that's a good choice for many back and stomach sleepers. Because of its combination of memory foam and coils, it can hug your curves and provide a decent amount of pressure relief without lacking durability. It also features gel-infused foam to help regulate body temperature as you sleep, making it a solid pick for hot sleepers as well. Note: This bed is available only at third-party retailers like Amazon. Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest recorded price we've seen for this mattress. As Amazon hosts its Prime Day event this year, we're already seeing those savings extend to other brands who are hosting sales to compete with the retail giant's discounts. Here are some of our favorite mattress companies that are also offering deals if you shop directly through their sites. To help you get the most out of Amazon Prime Day, we combined our comprehensive mattress and sleep knowledge with our deal-hunting expertise to track down the best mattress sales. Our mattress and sleep team is composed of certified sleep science coaches and tenured mattress testers who've spent years reviewing more than 200 beds. When compiling all our mattress guides, we tap into their wealth of knowledge to make sure we're featuring the most worthwhile options that are designed to help you get a better night's sleep. And speaking of which—most of these mattress brands and models have been thoroughly researched and/or tested by a member of our sleep team. Our deals team keeps an eye on price changes year-round to make sure we know exactly when a mattress reaches its all-time lowest price. We also compare prices across different retailers to check that you're getting the best deal possible—whether that's on Amazon or at a tried-and-tested mattress brand, like Helix, Nectar and DreamCloud, among others. Amazon Prime Day deals can quickly change and expire. For that reason, we routinely update this guide before, during and after the event to make sure all the deals in this guide are still live and accurate. We also add more sales to our list as they roll out.

Musk puts Trump beef back on the front-burner
In addition to announcing plans for his own political party, Musk spent the 4th of July long weekend bashing the Republican megabill Trump signed into law on Friday, praising Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) for opposing that bill, and lamenting his work leading the Department of Government Efficiency earlier this year. 'What the heck was the point of @DOGE if [Trump]'s just going to increase the debt by $5 trillion??,' he wrote on Sunday on X , the social media website he owns. The world's richest person seemed to have gotten under Trump's skin. The president said in a lengthy Truth Social post on Saturday that Musk had gone 'off the rails' and chastised his former ally's bid to launch a third party. The president further suggested that the source of Musk's frustration with the so-called 'big, beautiful bill' stemmed not from its overall government spending but from something more self-serving – its elimination of tax breaks for electric vehicles like the ones produced by Musk's automaker Tesla. The social media flurry further cemented the demise of what was once a historically powerful political alliance. Musk spent nearly $300 million to help Trump and other Republicans get elected last year. Once elected, Trump allowed Musk to lead DOGE, spearhead the mass firings of federal employees and install loyalists in various positions throughout the administration. One of those Musk allies, Jared Isaacman, was tapped to lead NASA before Trump pulled his nomination because it was 'inappropriate,' citing Musk's SpaceX and its close ties to NASA, the president said on Saturday. Musk's attacks on Trump continue despite the mounting downward pressure on his business. On Monday, Tesla stock fell sharply on the news of his intent to form a third party. Tesla's sales took a significant hit this year as Musk dabbled in politics, but the company's stock trended upward as he stepped away from the Trump administration in May. Musk has also continued to suggest that Trump and his Department of Justice are withholding information about the investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, whose arrest and suicide have been the subject of conspiracy theories popular with the online right. The accusations follow his previous claim that files related to the investigation are being withheld because Trump is referenced in documents connected to the case. The Justice Department released a tranche of documents connected to the case in February, but has yet to release all files connected to the case. Trump has not been accused of any wrongdoing in connection to Epstein. For Trump, a determined effort by Musk to launch a third-party could pose problems in next year's midterms. Aside from his pledge to back Massie against Trump's effort to primary him, Musk's third party appears calibrated to eat into a segment of Republican base voters — he indicated in social media posts the party would stand for shrinking the national debt, reducing business regulations, protecting free speech and treating the Second Amendment as 'sacred.'
