Here's how to build a luxurious hotel bed at home for under $2,000 in this year's Memorial Day mattress sales

Tom's Guide26-05-2025
If you could use a little more luxury in your life – and let's face it, most of us could – your bedroom is a great place to start. There's nothing like a night on a sumptuous hotel bed to leave you feeling pampered and refreshed, so why not recreate that feeling at home?
Admittedly, fashioning an authentic hotel bed complete with one of the best mattresses on the market isn't cheap. But if you choose your time carefully, it becomes a lot more affordable. And today is just that time.
By taking advantage of the Memorial Day mattress sales, it's possible to craft a luxurious hotel bed in a queen size complete with a mattress, foundation, sheets and pillows for $1,700. Want to know how it's done? Of course you do, so read on...
CopperFlex Pro Hybrid Mattress (queen): was $1,332 now $932.40 at Brooklyn BeddingWe're really rather taken with the new CopperFlex Pro Hybrid from Brooklyn Bedding, and I reckon it's just the thing you need to build an affordable hotel-style bed around. It hits all the right notes with a premium feel that'll suit most sleepers featuring a luxurious pillow top, zoned lumbar support – and, because you might not have a hotel AC system at home, impressive cooling prowess. Our Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress review has all the facts. In the Brooklyn Bedding Memorial Day sale, there's 30% off, so a queen size is a mere $932.40.
The Foundation (queen): was $399 now $279.30 at Brooklyn BeddingYour hotel bed needs something to sit on, so before you hit the checkout at Brooklyn Bedding, make sure you grab a foundation there, too. Its foundation is easy to assemble with no tools required. It's made with high-quality materials and it becomes a full bed frame when you add a set of optional legs. It's upholstered in a pleasingly understated gray fabric, and when you factor in Brooklyn Bedding's Memorial Day discount, the whole thing will cost you just $279.30 in a queen size.
Casper Hybrid Snow Pillow Double Pack: was $298 now $238.40 at CasperHaving just the right pillow can make the difference between a good night's sleep and an excellent night's sleep, so I suggest going to town with the number one pick in our best pillows guide, the Casper Hybrid Snow Pillow. It's a luxury cooling pillow made with foam and microfiber. We found it great at keeping our head and neck supported all night, and it's comfortable in most sleeping positions. Learn more in our Casper Hybrid Pillow with Snow Technology review. There's 10% off at Casper, and a double pack of these pillows brings an additional discount, so it's yours for $238.40 ($119 per pillow; the price for a single pillow is $134).
Signature Hotel Sheet Set (queen): was $500 now $250 at Four SeasonsThe final touch? How about a set of gloriously smooth and silky Four Seasons sheets and pillowcases? The Signature Hotel Sheet Set features a deep-pocketed fitted sheet and a hemmed flat sheet, as well as a pair of French closure pillowcases The MSRP for this set is $500, but plenty of the color options are reduced to just $250, making this luxury option a real bargain. (Not to mention: it's much less than a night at a Four Seasons hotel.)

Summer travel isn't as easy as it used to be for airlines

Making money in the summer is not as easy as it used to be for airlines. Airlines have drawn down their schedules in August for a variety of reasons. Some travelers are opting to fly earlier, in June or even May, as schools let out sooner than they used to. Demand for flights to Europe has also been moving from the sweltering, crowded summer to the fall, airline executives have said, especially for travelers with more flexibility, like retirees. Carriers still make the bulk of their money in the second and third quarters. But as travel demand has shifted, and in some cases customers have become altogether unpredictable, making the third quarter less of a shoo-in moneymaker for airlines. Airline planners have been forced to get more surgical with schedules in August as leisure demand tapers off from the late spring and summer peaks. Labor and other costs have jumped after the pandemic, so getting the mix of flights right is essential. Carriers across the industry have been taking flights off the schedule after an overhang of too much capacity pushed down fares this summer. But the capacity cuts are set to further drive up airfares, which rose 0.7% in July from last year, and a seasonally adjusted 4% jump from June to July, according to the latest U.S. inflation read. U.S. airlines' domestic capacity is down 6% in August from July, according to aviation data firm Cirium. The same period last year, they cut domestic capacity just over 4% compared with just a 0.6% downsize between the months in 2023, Cirium said. From July to August in 2019, airlines cut 1.7% of capacity. Carriers that bet on a blockbuster year were left disappointed earlier in 2025 when consumers weighed President Donald Trump's on-again, off-again tariffs and economic uncertainty. To attract more customers, many airlines slashed prices, even for flights in the summer peaks in late June and July. Demand has improved, airline executives said on earnings calls in recent months, but carriers including Delta, American, United and Southwest last month lowered their 2025 profit forecasts compared with their sunnier outlooks at the start of the year. Further complicating matters, some travelers have been also waiting until the last minute to book flights. "It really was, I would say, middle of May, when we started seeing Memorial Day bookings pick up," JetBlue Airways President Marty St. George told investors last month. "We had a fantastic Memorial Day, much better than forecast, and that really carried into June. But it does have the feeling of people just waited a long time to make the final decisions." Now, some airlines are already thinking about how to tackle ever-changing travel patterns next year. "Schools are going back earlier and earlier but what you also see is schools are getting out earlier and earlier," Brian Znotins, American Airlines' vice president of network planning and schedule, told CNBC. Public schools in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, returned on Aug. 5, and Atlanta public schools resumed Aug. 4. In 2023, more than half of the country's public school students went back to classrooms by mid-August, according to the Pew Research Center. Southwest, with its Texas roots, ended its summer schedule on Aug. 5 this year, compared with Aug. 15 in 2023. American, for its part, is shifting some peak flying next year. "We're moving our whole summer schedule change to the week before Memorial Day," Znotins said. "That's just in response to schools letting out in the spring." Those plans include additions of a host of long-haul international flights. "We are a year-round airline," he continued. Znotins said the carrier has to not just make sure there are enough seats for peak periods, but know when to cut back in lighter quarters, like the first three months of the year. "For a network planner, the harder schedules to build are the ones where there's lower demand because you can't just count on demand coming to your flights," Znotins said. "When demand is lower, you need to find ways to attract customers to your flights with a good quality schedule and product changes." American said its schedule by seats in August was on par with July in 2019, but that this year it was 6% lower in August from July. American forecast last month it could lose an adjusted 10 cents to 60 cents a share in the third quarter, below what analysts are expecting. CEO Robert Isom said on an earnings call that "July has been tough," though the carrier says trends have improved. The capacity cuts, coupled with more encouraging booking patterns lately, are fueling optimism about a better supply and demand balance in the coming weeks. "The mistake some airlines make, you tend to try to build a church for Easter Sunday: You build your capacity foundation for those peak periods and then you have way too many [employees]," said Raymond James airline analyst Savanthi Syth. She said it was unusual to see airlines across the board pruning their summer schedules before even the peak period ended, but she is upbeat about demand, and fares, going forward. "Time has passed and people are getting a little more certainty on what their future looks like and they're more willing to spend," she said.

Oil prices little changed as industry report points to slowing U.S. demand

Oil prices were little changed on Wednesday after falling in the previous session after an industry report showed U.S. crude stockpiles climbed last week illustrating the end of the seasonal summer demand period is nearing. Brent crude futures gained 3 cents to 66.15 a barrel at 0102 GMT after dropping 0.8% in the previous session. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 3 cents to $63.14 after declining 1.2%. Crude inventories in the U.S., the world's biggest oil consumer, rose by 1.52 million barrels last week, market sources said, citing American Petroleum Institute figures on Tuesday. Gasoline inventories dropped while distillate inventories gained slightly. Should the U.S. Energy Information Administration data set for release later on Wednesday also show a decline, it could indicate that consumption during the summer driving season has peaked and refiners are easing back their runs. The demand season typically runs from the Memorial Day holiday at the end of May to the Labor Day holiday in early September. Analysts polled by Reuters expect the EIA report to show crude inventories fell by about 300,000 barrels last week. Outlooks issued by OPEC and the EIA on Tuesday pointed to increased production this year which also weighed on prices. But both expect output in the U.S., the world's largest producer, to decline in 2026 while other regions will increase oil and natural gas production. U.S. crude production will hit a record 13.41 million barrels per day in 2025 due to increases in well productivity, though lower oil prices will prompt output to fall in 2026, the EIA forecast in a monthly report. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries' monthly report said global oil demand will rise by 1.38 million bpd in 2026, up 100,000 bpd from the previous forecast. Its 2025 projection was left unchanged. The White House on Tuesday tempered the expectations for a quick Russia-Ukraine ceasefire deal, which may lead investors to reconsider an end to the war soon and any easing on sanctions Russian supply, which had been supporting prices. U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are due to meet in Alaska on Friday to discuss ending the war. "Trump downplayed expectations of his meeting with President expectations of additional sanctions on Russian crude continue to fall," ANZ senior commodity strategist Daniel Hynes wrote in a note.
