Prime Day might be over but these 5 rival mattress deals are still live — starting from $128
The longest Prime Day ever has been put to bed but this weekend's mattress deals are keeping us wide awake. You can still save 27% on mattresses for all sleep styles at Helix. Use code TOMS27 to score this Black Friday-esque deal. Elsewhere, the best mattress we've tested is now 15% off in the Saatva flash sale. That's a saving of up to $449 off the handcrafted Classic mattress, a Saatva discount bigger than any we spotted during Prime Day. (Of course, if you head to our Prime Day sleep and mattress deals hub you can still find discounts on many of our favorite sleep-saviors.) Stearns & Foster Estate 14.5" Firm Tight Top Innerspring Luxury Mattress: twin XL now $2,299 at Macy'sAnyone in the market for a prestige mattress would do well to look at this innerspring mattress from Stearns & Foster. The Estate 14.5" Firm mattress promises next-level support and features Tempur-Indulge memory foam for enhanced pressure relief, with four AirVents to keep things cool at night. As a handcrafted luxury mattress it comes in at a premium price, but one that's worth paying considering its quality: a queen will cost you $2,399. 1. Saatva Classic Mattress: twin was $1,399 now $1,190 at SaatvaWe're constantly testing new beds but so far, none of them have been topped by the Saatva Classic as our favorite mattress. The best luxury mattress we've tested, the Classic comes in three firmness levels to suit all sleep styles, while the enhanced spinal support helps reduce back ache. After a seven month Saatva Classic mattress review period, our lead tester found her sleep had been "revolutionized", with no more nagging hip pain. There's 15% off in this weekend's Saatva mattress sale, although it's a flash deal — get it while it's hot. A queen is now $1,785 (was $2,099) and as well as an indulgent five-star mattress, you'll get a 365-night trial, lifetime warranty and free white glove delivery. Our review: ★★★★★ User score: ★★★★★ (4,100+ reviews) 2. Zinus Spa Sensations 10" Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress: twin was $359.99 now $128 at WalmartPrime Day might be over but Walmart's rival mattress sale is running until the 13th and there are plenty of deals on cheap mattresses to browse. Our top pick is the Zinus Spa Sensations Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress, now only $168 for a queen (was $288.) While this isn't quite the same model we tested for our Zinus Memory Foam Mattress review, we predict it delivers a similar level of plush comfort for side sleepers. There's no sleep trial but a 10-year warranty is included and we think this will make an excellent mattress for college students (good sleep can help you learn, you know.) User score: ★★★★½ (200+ reviews) 3. Helix Dawn mattress: twin was $998.66 now $729.03 at HelixAll the best mattresses for stomach sleepers emphasize support, keeping the lumbar lifted to prevent the back pain that can occur in this slightly-awkward sleep position. The Helix Dawn, featuring a sturdy spring base and firm foams, excels at support, as we discovered in our Helix Dawn mattress review. With code TOMS27 you can save 27% on everything in the Helix line-up (home to some of the best hybrid mattresses we've tested.) That reduces a queen from $1,332 to $972.36, with a limited lifetime warranty and a 100-night trial. Want something softer for side sleeping? Check out our Helix Midnight Mattress review, for a plusher hybrid at the same price. Our review: ★★★★½ User score: ★★★★½ (1,300+ reviews) 4. Cocoon by Sealy Chill Memory Foam Mattress: twin was $619 now $399 at Cocoon by SealyYou can go ahead and ignore the countdown on the Cocoon by Sealy website: this 35% off deal isn't going anywhere soon. But although you don't need to rush to secure the saving, if the heat has been ruining your sleep, you might want to act quickly to get your hands on one of the best cooling mattresses we've tested. Featuring PCM (Phase Change Material) to absorb and dissipate heat, in our Cocoon by Sealy Chill mattress review we were impressed with the temperature regulation, particularly for a mid-range bed (a queen is only $699.) The firmer feel makes it a good choice for back sleepers and a free bedding bundle is included. Our review: ★★★★ User score: ★★★★½ (8,600+ reviews) 5. Birch Luxe Natural Mattress: twin was $1,624 now $1,185.52 at BirchWe recently tested the this mattress for our Birch Luxe Natural Mattress review and it's fast becoming one of our favorite organic mattresses. Using latex foams and wool comfort layers to create responsive pressure relief, the Birch Luxe is naturally breathable and highly supportive. We think it's best for stomach and back sleepers (side sleepers might prefer something plusher, like the Naturepedic Concerto mattress.) Code TOMS27 saves you 27% sitewide at Birch, reducing a queen to $1,915.52 (was $2,625) — and $843 off a king size. A free pillow set is included, alongside a 100-night trial and limited lifetime warranty. Our review: ★★★★½User score: ★★★★½ (700+ reviews)

Sad decline of Plaza Alam Sentral is a statement that more malls will follow
IT IS always a sad thing to witness another shopping mall dying. The fading crowd and growing emptiness all point towards the many struggling businesses, wasted space, and a trend that is only growing. Recently, a netizen in a video showed the lack of footfall in Plaza Alam Sentral. According to him, the place was very lively a decade back. But the man did not reveal if the video was taken during a weekday morning or was it during the weekend. If this was the condition of Plaza Alam Sentral during the weekend, then they might as well turn the entire place into a haunted house theme park. A visit to the Plaza Alam Sentral Facebook page, however, revealed that its social media platform was alive. Just several hours ago, Plaza Alam Sentral published an event where people could exchange their old electronic devices for cash. Last month there was also a blood donation drive at the ground floor. It appears to be very much alive, or is this part of the digital initiative to revive it? But Plaza Alam Sentral is not the only mall suffering from this fate. According to a Youtuber Chester Cheng – Real Estate, the Cheras Sentral Mall, 1Shamelin Mall and Quill City Mall are among some of the casualties too. But it appears this trend is not only unique to Malaysia, but across the world. According to the website more consumers are choosing to shop online and many physical retailers are struggling to keep up with the speed and ease of digital shopping. Back in their heyday, malls offered more than just a place to buy things. They served as community gathering spots. Whether grabbing a bite at the food court, catching a movie, or simply window shopping with friends, malls were central to many social lives. But today, the way people connect and shop has drastically shifted, said Social media platforms have taken over as the new public square. Apps like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, and X aren't just for sharing photos and updates. They have become full-fledged shopping tools. With a few taps, users can discover, review, and buy trending products directly from their feeds. Social shopping combines the appeal of viral content with the instant gratification of e-commerce, making it a powerful alternative to traditional retail. Another major draw of online shopping is its efficiency. Customers are turning to websites that offer fast support through AI-powered chatbots, flexible return policies, and streamlined checkout experiences. Many online stores also offer detailed product info, FAQs, and support libraries, eliminating the need for in-person help or long customer service calls. For business owners, the shift is just as stark. Running a physical store comes with significant expenses, from staffing and utilities to leasing retail space. On the other hand, digital storefronts are more cost-effective and scalable. That economic reality is pushing more brands to close brick-and-mortar locations in favor of building their presence online. In short, the retail world is changing, and malls are struggling to keep up. As consumer habits evolve, digital convenience and cost-efficiency are redefining the way people shop.—July 9, 2025 Main image: @bckupacc99 (X)

Chi Modu® Estate Retains Ownership of the Iconic Biggie Smalls Images
BUSINESS WIRE)--Following a confidential settlement reached in 2024 between the Estate of renowned photographer Chi Modu and the family of famed rapper Christopher Wallace, better known as Biggie Smalls and the Notorious BIG, the Modu family is delighted to announce that it retains sole ownership of the iconic hip-hop photos of Biggie. "Above all, I am happy that the Modu family maintains complete control of Chi's artistic work,' said Mrs. Modu. More specifically, the settlement confirmed a number of important principles: (1) the Chi Modu Estate alone owns the copyrighted images and, as such, the Estate is (2) free to sell copies of the photographs in any form including NFTs, and (3) those who wish to use the photographs for any purpose must obtain permission from the family and pay license fees to do so; and (4) the Wallace family alone controls Biggie's right of publicity. The settlement ensures that Chi's powerful images are unencumbered for editorial uses, purchases (including NFTs), and are available for limited licensing opportunities. Sophia Modu, the widow of Chi Modu, only now feels ready to publicly address the settlement and the impact of her husband's passing. 'It took a while for me to work through the settlement with Notorious B.I.G., LLC, and to be emotionally prepared to address this publicly. Above all, I am happy that the Modu family maintains complete control of his artistic work,' said Mrs. Modu. Chi Modu's images, captured during a groundbreaking era in '90s hip-hop history, remain a testament to his unique eye and cultural insight. 'Chi spent many years as the Director of Photography for The Source magazine in the '90s,' Mrs. Modu continued. 'While he was compensated very little for his artistic services, the magazine agreed that Chi would retain the rights to his photographs of hip-hop artists that graced its pages. Chi's photographs remain his—in life or in death.' With the litigation now behind them, the Estate looks forward to monetizing Chi's archival material through editorial channels, creative collaborations such as photographic exhibitions, and emerging platforms such as NFTs. 'Throughout the case, I've learned how crucial it is for photographers to understand their intellectual property rights. If creatives are not fully aware of the intersection of art, business, and law, they can unintentionally give others an excuse to claim their images or work products,' added Mrs. Modu. ArentFox Schiff LLP, a prominent national law firm, represented the Chi Modu estate in this matter on a pro bono basis. About The Chi Modu Estate Celebrating his 35+ year career in photography, the Estate of Christopher Chijioke Modu remains the sole owner and manager of the iconic photographs taken by the legendary artist and photojournalist, Chi Modu. Additionally, the Estate holds trademarks on Hip Hop Images™, his name, and his iconic signature. The estate manages the licensing of his archival material for collaborations, exhibitions, and emerging platforms such as NFTs. Its assets include unique photographs of The Notorious BIG, Tupac Shakur, Nas, Eazy-E, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Ol' Dirty Bastard, and many other hip-hop icons.
