Best overall Memorial Day mattress sales
Brooklyn Bedding
Brooklyn Bedding's beds are known for their quality and affordability, so it is notable that its prices have dropped 30%. CNET's best overall mattress, the Brooklyn Bedding Signature, drops below $999 for a queen with this sale. The Aurora Luxe, our favorite cooling bed of all time, is just less than $1,600. Down from $2,265, this is an excellent price for a bed that will help hot sleepers sleep better.
The 30% off sale is sitewide with the code MEMORIAL30.

Leesa
Leesa's ultra comfortable mattresses are some of my favorites. The Leesa Sapira Chill, our pick for the best luxury mattress, is on sale for $1,584. That's more than $679 in savings. It's still expensive but this is a good deal for the quality, especially because Leesa is adding a free sleep bundle that includes two pillows and a microfiber sheet set.

Nectar
Hands down, Nectar does some of the most generous sales of all the mattress brands, which is good because some of the newest Nectar beds can be pricey. For Memorial Day, Nectar beds are up to 50% off, and bundles are 66% off.
That means you can get the Nectar Classic Hybrid for $799 instead of $1,531. If you want to update your whole bedding setup, add the optional bundle for only $179. It includes a sheet set, two cooling pillows and a mattress protector. The all-foam model of this bed is only $649. Finding quality queen mattresses for less than $1,000 can be difficult, so this sale is big if you're a fan of dense memory foam.

Helix
Helix's early access Memorial Day sale is 25% sitewide with a free bedding bundle if you buy a Luxe or Elite mattress. Here at CNET, we're big fans of Helix mattresses, especially the comfy pillowtops on the Luxe models. The Helix Midnight Luxe, which I recommend to just about anyone who wants a medium mattress, is down to $1,780 with this sale. Admittedly, the Luxe beds are on the more expensive side. You can drop a tier to the core collection for more affordable beds. The Helix Midnight is $999 right now. If you choose from the core collection, you'll miss out on the free bedding bundle that includes a sheet set and mattress protector. The bedding bundle's value isn't more than the difference between the two prices so I don't think the free offerings are enough to move the needle for you.
I'm currently testing the Helix Frame, which is on sale for $187. I highly recommend it for people who want a no-fuss bed frame that is easy to assemble. Seriously, it took me less than 5 minutes to put it together.
Use the code MEMDAY25 to cash in on these savings.

Saatva
For Memorial Day, Saatva is running deals where you can save up to $600 off a mattress. The amount off will depend on the total of your purchase. A $950 to $1,999 purchase will save you $200, plus an extra $100 off if you get an adjustable base or upholstered bed frame with the mattress. You won't get that $600 off unless you spend more than $4,500. It's not the most generous sale we've seen from Saatva, but it's still a nice chunk of change off the price of a luxury bed. The Saatva Classic, our favorite firm bed, is only $1,799, $300 off of the usual price. If you're looking for a bed specifically for back pain, the Saata Rx is reduced to $3,049 for a queen.

Is Memorial Day a good time to buy a mattress?
Memorial Day is a good time to buy a mattress if you're in the market for one. Some of the sales are generous, especially the ones that throw in extra pillows and bedding.
I've been doing this long enough to notice sales trends across brands. For instance, Saatva usually peaks around $600 off mattresses, while Nectar has been known to mark 50% off. Most big names offer sales within a specific range so if you can't afford a mattress right now, don't sweat it. There's always another holiday coming.
Should you wait until Prime Day to buy a mattress?
No, it's not necessarily better to wait until Amazon Prime Day in July to buy a new mattress. While some brands will offer deals around that time, nearly all mattress companies offer discounts leading up to and during Memorial Day. Additionally, upcoming tariffs may increase the prices of mattresses across the board, so if you want to snag a new bed for a lower price, significant sales are happening now.

Nectar Mattress Review: A Good Value That's Comfortable And Supportive
Nectar is one of the most popular online mattress brands known for its comfortable and pressure-relieving memory foam beds that come with attractive price tags. In this Nectar mattress review, we explore the ins and outs of the Classic Memory Foam model after our team tested it alongside 12 other top-rated mattresses, including others from the Nectar lineup. This allowed us to see how the mattress directly compares to similar models from the perspective of multiple body types, genders, sleeping positions and pain points. Our Nectar Classic review details our different testing experiences with the mattress and offers ... More insight into its most comfortable features. Our team took a careful look at different performance metrics like motion isolation, support, pressure relief, temperature regulation and more. In addition to our group testing, a tester's been sleeping on the Nectar Classic Mattress in-home to get a better look at how it performs over an extended period of time. Below, find a blend of our insights and recommendations from multiple testers of the Nectar Classic Memory Foam Mattress. Nectar Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. Type: Memory foam | Nectar's firmness rating: Medium-firm (6.5 out of 10) | Trial period: 365 nights | Warranty: Lifetime | Height: 12 inches Best for: Skip if: The exact construction of the Nectar Classic Mattress depends on the model you choose, but the memory foam model is an assembly of alternating foam layers with different densities. A closer look at the layers of the Nectar Classic Memory Foam Mattress. The hybrid model, on the other hand, has a similar construction with steel coils as a base layer rather than high-density foam. You never quite know what you are going to get with a memory foam mattress, whether it's going to be dense and doughy or more airy and responsive. Most of our testers found the Nectar Classic Memory Foam model to be on the firmer, denser side of the spectrum with a medium-firm profile that the brand rates around a 6.5 out of 10. 'Upon first touch, this mattress feels much more firm than I was anticipating,' says one tester. 'I'm a big fan of firm mattresses and was pleasantly surprised when I noticed it had a lot of support. It definitely isn't as plush as some of the other mattresses in terms of how much it sinks.' Another adds, 'This Nectar Mattress simultaneously feels dense but cushiony—an ideal amount of sinkage that's not too much and not too little.' For this reason, our group testers and long-term tester, who slept on the Classic memory foam model for over 30 nights, primarily recommend the mattress for combination, back and stomach sleepers. We found it may be a little too firm for side sleeping, but the memory foam Nectar Luxe (previously known as the Premier Copper Mattress) scored a 9 out of 10 for this position. Our testers noted that the hybrid model has a similar feel, but it offers more support and bounce. To test the Nectar Classic's pressure relief performance, we spent time lying in each sleeping position (side, stomach and back). In the end, we found the memory foam model is most pressure relieving for back, stomach and combination sleepers. Tester and updates writer Alex Garrett says, 'Back sleeping on the Nectar Classic feels awesome. It's firmer than the Nectar Ultra, so my back feels much more supported yet still hugged. It also feels like it elongates my spine and relieves the pressure I previously felt from other mattresses.' Though, if you're a heavyweight back or stomach sleeper, we recommend the Nectar Hybrid for added spinal support and relief. We found the hybrid to be a more pressure-relieving choice overall as we scored it an 8 out of 10 in this category. Now that the Nectar Classic is woven with cooling fibers (the brand recently upgraded the model), it's shown improvement in temperature regulation, according to our long-term tester. 'In the first model I tested, both Charlie (the dog) and I woke up very hot on more than one occasion," she says. "We did not wake up hot this time around, so I feel like Nectar made improvements in this category. My human bed partner agreed with our cooling assessment.' While it may not be actively cold like a cooling mattress, it does help you sleep more temperature neutral, especially in comparison to traditional memory foam beds. The Nectar Classic has a cool-to-the-touch cover that stays neutral throughout the night. Memory foam is known to be good at deadening movement, a plus for couples who sleep with a partner or furry family members. Fortunately, the Nectar Classic doesn't disappoint. Our testers scored motion isolation an 8.5 out of 10 after placing a water glass at the edge of each model and making sporadic movements near it to analyze its sloshing. 'The motion isolation is superb,' says one tester. 'The glass of water did not spill at all and barely even moved. Overall, due to its firmness [and materials], the water was able to stay upright.' Our long-term tester adds, 'I was happily surprised to find that the motion isolation was even better [than the previous model]. I could barely feel the animals jumping on and off the bed and wasn't bothered by my human partner's movements.' This is an important characteristic for a mattress to ensure it offers proper spinal alignment and prevents sagging. The hybrid model of the Nectar Classic offers better spinal reinforcement because of its layer of pocketed steel coils in the base, so we especially recommend it to people with back pain or sleepers over 250 pounds for the long-term. That said, both models can support up to 650 pounds, according to the brand. As far as edge support goes, we discovered in testing that the Nectar Memory Foam Mattress performs better in this category than competing all-foam beds. We scored the memory foam model an 8 out of 10, which is better than the 7.5 scores that many all-foam models get. 'The Nectar Classic seems to have some of the best edge support of all the [memory foam] mattresses I tested so far today. While near the edge of the bed, I don't just feel supported—I feel sturdy and almost unmovable,' says Garrett. The hybrid model, on the other hand, was given a 9 out of 10 for edge support. Memory foam has a reputation for making you feel stuck. The material responds to heat and pressure to mold to the body, which can make it hard to change positions. 'I found the Classic to be a bit more responsive to position adjustments than the original [model],' says our long-term tester, and our group testers agree. They scored ease of movement an 8 out of 10 for the memory foam model and an 8.5 out of 10 for the hybrid version, noting that the one with coils is more bouncy and responsive. 'It's very easy to traverse this mattress,' says one tester. 'I think it's because this mattress doesn't sink in as much, it gives you enough support to be able to move from one side to the other.' The Nectar Classic Memory Foam Mattress offers excellent motion isolation, even with cats and dogs ... More jumping on it. Nectar is part of the Resident Home portfolio, a parent company to other popular mattresses like DreamCloud, Siena and Awara. All of Nectar's foams are CertiPUR-US certified, and it stands by its products by providing a 'Forever Warranty' against defects in construction or materials. The brand also no longer uses fiberglass in its mattresses, a fire retardant material many consumers want to avoid. Nectar recently redesigned its entire mattress lineup, which is why you can find insight into the earlier generation throughout our review. The new collection of beds have a fresh look and an updated construction with enhanced materials. Nectar offers free shipping for all of its mattresses (except for Alaska and Hawaii, which incur a shipping cost of $250 per large item ordered). Nectar also offers white glove delivery for $199, which includes the setup of two items and the option to have your existing mattress removed. Nectar offers a lengthy trial of 365 nights, which is more than the average 100 to 120 nights that most brands offer. That means you get a full year to try out the mattress in your own home; Nectar just asks that you try it for at least 30 nights before making a return. If you're unsatisfied with your sleep, you can initiate a free return through the brand. Nectar offers a 'Forever Warranty,' which means the company replaces your mattress for free within the first ten years of ownership if it has a manufacturing defect. After ten years, the brand will completely repair or replace the mattress if it has manufacturing defects, but you are responsible for a $50 shipping fee each way. The warranty covers your mattress for as long as you have it if you're the original owner. Removing the cover voids the warranty, so the company recommends spot cleaning. Nectar Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. The Nectar Hybrid Mattress is highly rated by our testers for having good ease of movement, motion isolation and pressure relief. It's 12 inches tall, like the memory foam model, but it has a layer of coils for added edge support, airflow and durability. In our Nectar Hybrid Mattress review, our long-term tester says it strikes a nice balance between softness and support. Nectar Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. The Nectar Luxe is a few notches up from the Nectar Classic in terms of design and features, as it offers more memory foam pressure relief, cooling fibers and a slightly softer profile. It's 14 inches tall and promises the same great motion isolation with even more memory foam comfort. For a wallet-friendly memory foam mattress, the Nectar Classic offers a stellar value, as it's one of the most affordable memory foam mattresses on the market. At the same time, it's made with high-end materials like a cooling cover and cushiony-yet-responsive memory foam that make it one of our editors' favorite memory foam mattresses. With a medium-firm profile, our testers found that it suits back, stomach and combination sleepers the best. It's also a good option for couples, since the bed offers top-notch motion isolation and better edge support than other all-foam beds our team has put to the test. However, we think that sleepers over 250 pounds or those looking for extra support should opt for a hybrid mattress. It's also a little too firm for side sleepers, who should consider the Nectar Luxe or Nectar Ultra instead. The Nectar Classic Mattress has undergone a few rounds of testing, one with 12 different team members including senior mattress and sleep editor Bridget Chapman, and another with a long-term tester who slept on it for over a month. Through these processes we were able to gain a better understanding of its performance metrics from multiple perspectives and a real-life scenario. We looked at a variation of features including: For more insight into our testing methodology, see our full guide on how we test and score mattresses. Nectar mattresses are a great value for budget-conscious sleepers looking for a memory foam feel. Our testers found the Nectar Classic in particular to be good for back, stomach and combination sleepers. Your Nectar Mattress should last seven years or more if you properly take care of it, which includes rotating the head of the bed to the foot every six months to ensure even wear and tear. Tempur-Pedic uses higher-end materials and offers more advanced features than Nectar, but its beds are much more costly. They are more than double the price of the base-level Nectar Classic, but they offer a similar dense memory foam feel.

Massive Russia sanctions package stalls as Trump pushes for Ukraine peace talks
Senators are growing antsy to move ahead with a massive sanctions package against Russia, and the only thing standing in the way is President Donald Trump. In the midst of the extremely partisan budget reconciliation process, nearly the entire upper chamber has coalesced behind the sanctions package from Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., which would slap up to 500% "bone-breaking" tariffs on countries buying energy products from Moscow. Ukraine-russia Peace Talks Yield No Ceasefire, Zelenskyy Warns Putin Should Not Be 'Rewarded' The measure is designed to place Russia's war machine into a chokehold by imposing duties on oil, gas, uranium and other exports largely purchased by China and India, which account for nearly three-quarters of Moscow's energy business. Trump has pushed for peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, which have so far not yielded an end to the three-year conflict, and has begun to sour on Russian President Vladimir Putin's reluctance to find a peaceful end to the ongoing conflict. He recently questioned "what the hell happened" to the Russian leader. The latest round of negotiations in Istanbul, Turkey, ended without a ceasefire, and Putin's recent demands for large chunks of territory in exchange for peace have been nonstarters for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Read On The Fox News App A successful surprise drone attack by Ukraine and fears of a retaliatory strike by Russia have lawmakers growing increasingly anxious to sanction Russia into oblivion, but the president has yet to give Graham — a top ally of Trump's — and Blumenthal's bill his blessing. "If President Trump asked me my opinion, I would tell them, 'let's go now,'" Sen. John Kennedy, R-L.a., one of the 82 co-sponsors of the bill, told Fox News Digital. Us Readies Russia Sanctions Over Ukraine, Unclear If Trump Will Sign, Sources Say And Graham, who traveled to Ukraine with Blumenthal to meet with Zelenskyy during the Senate's Memorial Day recess, wants to see his sanctions levied against Russia by as early as next week when world powers gather in Italy for the upcoming G7 Summit to "deliver an unequivocal message to China." "The theme of this engagement was that we appreciate President Trump's earnest efforts to bring about peace and entice Putin to come to the table," Graham said in a statement after meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. "It is our view Putin is not responding in kind, he is not interested in peace and that he plans to continue to dismember Ukraine." Blumenthal believed that Trump "has been played" by Putin and accused the Russian leader of being "totally unserious" about the negotiations with Ukraine. The lawmaker confirmed to Fox News Digital that he and Graham would hold a briefing for all 100 Senators on the current state of affairs in Ukraine on Wednesday. He said there was "no question" that Trump's input would be significant for the bill's fate, but noted that even House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-L.a., came out in support of levying strict sanctions on Russia, which suggested a bicameral desire to inflict monetary pain on Moscow and its allies. "We have 82 senators, evenly divided, bipartisan, which I think speaks volumes," Blumenthal said. "If it's given a vote, it will pass, and obviously President Trump's views will matter as to whether it's given a vote." Trump Warns Putin Is 'Playing With Fire' After Declaring The Russian President Has 'Gone Absolutely Crazy' Still, Senate Republican leadership is waiting for a green-light from the White House before making any decisions to put the bill on the floor. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., countered on the Brian Kilmeade Show on Fox Radio that his team and the White House were working together to make sure that the sanctions package "from a technical standpoint" hit the mark of what the president wanted to do. "We're trying to give [President Trump] as much space and room as necessary for him to try and negotiate the best possible outcome and get a peaceful solution in Ukraine," Thune said. "And if the sanctions contribute to that, then yeah, we're available and ready to move." Meanwhile, lawmakers don't see the sanctions package as undermining any ongoing efforts from the White House to broker a peace deal. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-S.C., believed that the legislation would instead act as a "real enabler" for the Trump administration. And Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va, similarly believed that the sanctions bill could give Trump a "stronger hand" in negotiations. "These are sanctions that would be very punishing to the Russian economy," he told Fox News Digital. "And we think the president can say, 'Look, this is going to be very serious, but it can be avoided if we reach an accord right now that's a cease fire.'"Original article source: Massive Russia sanctions package stalls as Trump pushes for Ukraine peace talks
