The luxury organic mattress I recommend to everyone is up to $843 off in early 4th of July sale
After sleeping on some of this year's best mattresses for all sleepers, I know when something feels high-quality, well-made and supportive. After being let down by memory foam mattresses that made me feel claustrophobic, I opted for the Birch Luxe Natural, which is a hybrid mattress made up of organic latex and wool.
Since switching, I fall asleep fast, sleep through the night (even during heatwaves) and feel supported no matter my sleeping position. And now with this early 4th of July mattress sale, it's a great time to invest and enjoy cool sleep for the summer. Here's why.
Birch Luxe Natural: twin was $1,624 now $1,185.52 at BirchLike the best hybrid mattresses we've tested, the Birch is responsive and supportive, right up to the edge of the mattress. During the testing period for the Birch Luxe Natural mattress review, I loved the feeling of sleeping on top of the mattress rather than sinking into it. While the plush wool Euro top contoured around my hips, shoulders and knees when I slept on my side, I stayed elevated and buoyant. The layers of natural latex provide a degree of bounce, so the mattress responded to my movements even when I was tossing and turning at night. While the Luxe Natural inevitably comes at a high price point (natural materials cost more to source), this 27% off deal means you can get a queen for $1,915.52 (was $2,624). That's the biggest discount we've ever seen on this mattress, so well worth taking advantage of. You'll also get a free Eco-Rest Pillow Set, free shipping, a lifetime warranty and a 100-night sleep trial.
As an average-weight side sleeper, the Birch Luxe feels perfect to me. It has a medium-firm feel (we rated it as a 7 out of 10), but the more plush Euro top offers a little extra cushioning. While I do think some lighter weight side sleepers might find it too firm, you can opt for an additional mattress topper to soften up the surface. If that's you, I recommend checking out our guide to the best mattresses for side sleepers.
Back sleepers should find the zoned, targeted support excellent for keeping the hips lifted and the lumbar supported. There's just enough pressure relief for the mattress to feel luxury, but not enough to compromise the robust support.
Hot sleepers should also find relief in this clean, natural mattress. The cotton cover is naturally breathable and the three wool layers can wick away moisture, meaning that you can wake up feeling fresh, even if you tend to sweat the bed. Although, if you experience hot flashes, consider one of this year's best cooling mattresses with dedicated tech to keep you comfortable. instead
Who wouldn't I recommend this mattress to? The Euro top will most likely be too plush for those who lie on their front, which could put strain on the lower back. Instead, check out our best mattresses for stomach sleepers guide to find a suitable alternative.
The Birch Luxe is an outstanding mattress, but if it's still beyond your budget even with 27% off, there's another option from Birch that comes in at a less extravagant price....
Birch Natural Mattress: twin was $1,373.33 now $1,002.54 with TOMS27 code at BirchThe Birch Natural mattress is the cheaper option from Birch, but it's still a quality bed packed with natural and organic materials. As we note in our Birch Natural Mattress review, we found that this is a great medium-firm mattress that's suitable for all sleep positions and has decent edge support and cooling features. It doesn't feel quite as luxurious as the Birch Luxe but it's comfortable in all sleeping positions. There's 25% off in the Birch early 4th July sale, but with our TOMS27 code you can get 27% off instead, which means that a queen size can be yours for $1,361.70, reduced from $1,865.33, with a pair of pillows included as well as a 100-night trial, free shipping and a lifetime warranty.

Namibia In August 2024, the Company purchased the license to 1,324 km of existing 2D seismic survey in the Tamar Block area (PEL 100), technical evaluation and interpretation to define additional seismic acquisition areas within the Block, along with new leads and prospects. A multi-block farmout process remains underway for all or part of Eco's four offshore Petroleum Exploration Licences ("PEL"): 97, 98, 99, and 100. Eco holds Operatorship and an 85% Working Interest in each PEL representing a combined area of 28,593 km2 in the Walvis Basin. Guyana An active farmout process continues for the offshore Orinduik Block. Eco was encouraged to note the recent news from neighbouring Stabroek block, where the Operator ExxonMobil is planning for a seventh development at the Hammerhead discovery. Gil Holzman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eco Atlantic, commented: "The year to 31 March 2025 was highly active and saw Eco deliver progress across its existing portfolio, in addition to the Company adding new and exciting exploration assets into the fold. In South Africa, we continue to work with our Joint Venture Partners on Block 3B/4B, in order to undertake a drilling campaign as soon as is practically possible. We are currently awaiting the final environmental permits from the South African government agencies and will update our stakeholders on the likely timings in due course. On Block 1,we have already received early, informal, interest from a number of parties and we plan to launch a formal farm out process towards the end of August 2025. We have acquired all existing 3D and 2D seismic surveys previously shot on the block and we are busy with the initial interpretation, including the mapping of all oil and gas targets and leads. The Orange Basin has become one of the most attractive exploration destinations for global oil and gas companies, so we are excited about what the future has in store for Block 3B/4B and Block 1. Guyana continues to be one of the most prolific hydrocarbon regions in the world, and our farm-out process for the Orinduik Block remains ongoing, including a reassessment by our team of the Jethro discovery parameters. The remainder of 2025 and into 2026 has the potential to be a highly exciting period for Eco. We have farm-out processes underway, data analysis ongoing and a drilling campaign to plan for. All of which has the potential to deliver significant value for all of Eco's stakeholders in due course."

U.S. trade deal offers initial relief but leaves Europe on the backfoot
After an initial sigh of relief at the U.S. and European Union avoiding further escalation by striking a trade agreement, concerns have grown that the framework deal is "unbalanced" and leaves Europe on the backfoot. The two trading partners on Sunday announced an agreement that includes a 15% tariff rate on most EU goods to the U.S. Some goods like aircraft components and certain chemicals are not set to be hit by tariffs, while autos will see duties reduced to the 15% rate. The agreement also includes provisions for the EU purchasing U.S. energy and increasing its investments in the country. The agreement halves the 30% tariff rate U.S. President Donald Trump had threatened the EU with and avoids any further escalation through for example countermeasures. Yet analysts and economists remain cautious as to the impact on both sides as negotiations are still set to take place. "It's a climb down from a much worse place," Cailin Birch, global economist at The Economist Intelligence Unit, told CNBC's "Europe Early Edition" on Monday. However, she noted, "a 15% tariff is still a big escalation from where we were pre-Trump 2.0." Birch also pointed out that a lot of uncertainty remains, with details about the steel and pharmaceutical sector still being unclear. European leaders struck similar notes overnight, with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz saying that while the EU was able to protect its core interests, he would have welcomed further easing of transatlantic trade. France's minister for Europe, Benjamin Haddad, meanwhile said in a Google-translated social media post that while the deal would bring "temporary stability" to some sectors, it is "unbalanced" overall. Holger Schmieding, chief economist at Berenberg, warned that while the "crippling uncertainty" was over, the damage for Europe is more frontloaded in comparison to the long-term impact on the U.S. "The deal is asymmetric. The US gets away with a substantial increase in its tariffs on imports from the EU and has secured further EU concessions to boot. In his apparent zero-sum mentality, Trump can claim that as a "win" for him," he said. As it will take some time for U.S. consumers to feel the impact of tariffs, Trump's supporters may not immediately realize they are being hurt by the president's policies, Schmieding explained. This may encourage Trump to continue to pursue economic policies that are "bad" for the U.S., he added. The Economist Intelligence Unit's Birch meanwhile pointed out that the U.S. also did not get everything it may have wanted from the deal. "Both sides are, are kind of set back a bit from this deal," she said. "The U.S. didn't make any headway on a lot of issues that have in recent history been critical to their trade approach to the EU. So agricultural standards, the tech industry regulating standard that has been a big bugbear, there was no real mention of those standards whatsoever," Birch explained, acknowledging that the deal is not yet done.

I've spent a week sleeping on the Dreamstage Value mattress and a heatwave has exposed its flaw
It's our mission at Tom's Guide to find the best mattress for every budget, and with the Dreamstage Value Quilted Hybrid mattress claiming to deliver an "elevated sleep experience" without the 'elevated price tag,' I was eager to see how it performs. Type: HybridMaterials: Foam, springsBrand-rated firmness: Firm (also sold in Medium and Plush)Trial period: 120 nightsWarranty: 20 yearsPrice (sale): From $599 at Diamond Mattress After a week of testing the mattress in a Firm feel, I've been impressed by the Dreamstage Value. It's highly supportive while the availability of different feels makes it's more versatile than your average budget bed. Can it compare to the best hybrid mattresses? My early impressions are good, although the unfortunate coincidence of starting my testing during a heatwave has exposed a lack of temperature regulation. I'll need to spend at least a month sleeping on the Dreamstage Value Quilted Hybrid (and enlist the help of a testing panel) before I make any final decisions but for now, here are my thoughts on this affordable hybrid mattress. The Dreamstage Value mattresses are the cheapest beds in the Diamond mattress line-up. In the regular mattress sales, a queen Dreamstage Value Quilted Hybrid mattress sells for $695 (was $1,245.) This places the mattress in the lower mid-range price category, where it finds itself in good company. The Nectar Classic Memory Foam mattress is similarly priced at $649 for a queen, while we consider the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid mattress to be excellent value at $649 for a queen. We track mattress sales throughout the year but we're still learning the ins and outs of the Diamond mattress deals. However, during the recent 4th of July sales, I spotted free pillows on top of the savings below. We suspect the sales are frequent and you can expect similar prices to the ones below for most of the year on the Dreamstage Value Quilted Hybrid mattresses: Unusually, the full is pricier than its queen counterpart (although only by $4.) These prices are the same whether you choose the Medium or Firm feel Dreamstage Value mattress. However, if you want a Plush feel, you'll need to upgrade to the Luxe Quilted Hybrid Dreamstage Value mattress (also available in Medium or Firm.) A queen Luxe is $899 for all three firmness levels. Diamond also offers a 120-night sleep trial and a 20-year warranty with the Dreamstage Value mattress. This is above the industry average and better than expected for the price bracket. Dreamstage Value Quilted Hybrid Mattress: twin was $1,149 now $599 at Diamond MattressIn the current sale the Dreamstage Value is a midrange mattress — but it looks like a premium design and so far I've been impressed by the all-round performance. A queen Medium or Firm mattress will set you back $695 (was $1,245) but for a Plush, you'll need to upgrade to the Quilted Luxe Hybrid, $899 for a queen (down from $1,399.) Like all the best mattresses in a box we've tested, the Dreamstage Value mattress comes compressed, rolled in plastic and conveniently tucked into a cardboard box. I enlisted my dad to lend a hand with unboxing, but having helped me haul the rolled mattress onto my bed frame, he wasn't needed — the Dreamstage Value practically unboxed itself. Using a pair of scissors to cut away the outer layers of packaging, once I'd ripped a hole in the plastic the Dreamstage Value expanded quickly, unfurling itself onto my bed frame as it went. All I had to do was pull the rest of the packaging from underneath the mattress.. There was some off-gassing — caused by chemicals releasing when the mattress is unboxed — but not much. By bedtime, the smell had gone. Considering the mattress had spent over a week in my house waiting to be unboxed, plus however long it took to get to the UK and the fact that the air was baking hot and completely still, I was impressed by the lack of smell. Diamond notes you should wait around 24 to 72 hours for the mattress to fully expand before sleeping on it. I waited roughly 36 hours but I have to say, it looked ready to go after about the first 15 minutes. I know the risks of leaving a mattress in a box too long and after the Dreamstage Value Quilted Hybrid mattress had sat in my hallway for over a week, I was beginning to feel the pressure to get the bed unboxed. That, and I kept walking into it... But I wish I'd waited a bit longer to start testing my new mattress because the first few nights of the review period were consumed by one thought: I was being boiled alive. The testing had unfortunately coincided with the hottest day my city had experienced in three years, delivering a crash course in the Dreamstage Value's temperature regulation. I'd hoped the Dreamstage would be a breathable mattress due to its hybrid build (the best cooling mattresses often contain springs) and firmer feel (without a 'hug,' there's more room for air to circulate.) However, a stifling bedroom meant my mattress felt warm by the time I crawled into bed and this heat only built up while I slept. Having switched from the natural cooling of the Simba Earth Escape Mattress, the Dreamstage Value made for significantly warmer nights. I struggled to identify any other features of the mattress. Was it supportive? Were the edges strong? Was the feel responsive or deadened? Impossible to say when I was trapped in a sauna with only a cold hot water bottle to get me through it. Eventually the heatwave broke and I could start to appreciate the other features of the mattress. I opted for the Dreamstage Value in a Firm feel because as a stomach sleeper, I appreciate a mattress that can support my body from shoulders to hips. The Dreamstage Value lives up to its firm label. We rate mattress firmness on a scale of one to 10, with one indicating soft and 10 hard. The Dreamstage Value sits at the top end of that scale — I'd rate it 8-9 in firmness. I'll reassess this at the end of my review period, as mattresses often soften throughout the first few weeks of use. This firmness means that my spine is lifted and aligned when lying on my stomach. Even this early in the testing, the Dreamstage Value is a contender for our best mattress for stomach sleepers guide. I suspect this mattress will also be a good choice for back sleepers, although I'll need confirmation from a wider testing panel. However, I've found side sleeping uncomfortable. I often move onto my side in the night and on the Diamond Dreamstage Value Firm mattress that means waking up with arm pain. Currently, here's almost no give at the shoulders but this might change as I break the mattress in. I haven't had a chance to undergo any objective mattress tests but in my subjective opinion, the edge support is above average. There's some sinkage when you first sit (common on mattresses with a euro top) but that's followed by ample support. The Dreamstage Value does have a bouncy feel so I'll be interested to see how it performs in our motion isolation tests. I sleep alone and I've been enjoying the freedom of movement afforded by the Dreamstage Value. This responsive build might be less of a positive feature for bed sharers. The Tom's Guide team has had several of the best luxury mattresses pass through our testing studio in recent months, so I was skeptical that this lower mid-range model would compare. However, the Diamond Dreamstage Value Quilted Hybrid mattress is visually impressive. The thick Euro top and dark, quilted fabrics look luxe — if I didn't already know the cost, I would have assumed this was a luxury bed. But looks aren't everything, especially when it comes to a mattress. Thankfully, the Dreamstage Value has continued to impress throughout this early testing period. Admittedly the temperature regulation isn't great. There's nothing like a heatwave to see if your mattress's cooling cover really has the 'Ultra Cool Touch' it promises and during my testing I've found the Dreamstage Value has a tendency to trap heat. It's the support that's impressed me most during my early testing (that and the easy unboxing process.) Like the best firm mattresses, the Dreamstage Value holds the spine in alignment, while the responsive feel makes it easy to change positions. I'm interested to see if this changes at all during the testing process. So far, I wouldn't recommend this mattresses to side sleepers but the foams might soften as I continue to break the bed in. Ill be writing my full review after sleeping on this mattress for a month, so watch this space.
