My 3 favorite Memorial Day mattress topper sales to make soft beds supportive for back sleepers
If your mattress is a little too soft to be supportive for back sleeping, today's Memorial Day mattress sales is a great time to invest in a mattress topper for spinal support. One standout saving is 27% off the Helix ErgoAlign mattress topper at Helix Sleep with the code TOMS27. That brings a queen down to $364 from $499, which is an excellent price on a topper that promotes healthy spinal alignment and laced with cooling tech.
Even the best mattresses can lack in support if it's approaching the end of its lifespan, but adding an extra layer of support can help promote a healthy sleep position. I've picked out three mattress topper deals for helping to not only firm up your mattress, but also offer enough support to making back sleeping more comfortable.
Today's Memorial Day mattress and bedding sales means there are plenty of options to choose from, but these three are top of my list. Let's look at them more closely...
1. Helix ErgoAlign Mattress Topper: from $373.73 $272.54 with code TOMS27 at HelixLike the best mattresses for back pain, Helix's ErgoAlign mattress topper is specifically designed to help ease back pain. The topper is divided into three sections, with softer foam at the head and foot to contour to your body. In the middle, you'll find a denser foam that provides pressure relief and lumbar support to keep your spine elevated. There's also a GlacioTex cooling cover to keep sleepers cool (you'll often find this in the best cooling mattresses.) Use the code TOMS27 for 27% off the topper, which brings a queen size down to $364.03 (MSRP $498.66). There's also a 100-night trial and free shipping.
2. Serta ThermaGel Cooling Mattress Topper: from $49 $46 at AmazonIf you're on a tighter budget, the Serta ThermaGel cooling mattress topper is a great deak, with a queen coming in at $59 from $74. Choose from 2" or 3" options for a topper that provides a decent amount of support and pressure relief. The breathable material also does a great job of preventing heat from building up, helping to dissipate it away from the body. Bear in mind that if you want the thicker topper, you'll be looking at $91.76 (was $116.80.)
3. Puffy Deluxe Mattress Topper: from $238 $202 at PuffyWe rate the Puffy Deluxe as one of the best mattress toppers on the market right now. It comes in two versions, firm and soft. For those looking to firm up their mattresses, we'd unsurprisingly recommend the firm version. We tested this in our Puffy Deluxe mattress topper review, finding that while the dense firm did contour to pressure points, the topper still provided plenty of support and structure to the mattress where needed. A queen size will cost you to $245 (MSRP $288) and you'll get a very generous 101-night trial, lifetime warranty and free shipping.

Boy killed in parade accident remembered at 2 Friday vigils: ‘He was a light'
NORTH CANTON, Ohio (WJW) – Hundreds of grieving neighbors, family members and friends gathered to remember 13-year-old Matthew Schultz at two vigils Friday night. The first event was a private rosary service held at Queen of Heaven Catholic Church in Green because Matthew was an altar server and loved his faith. 'That's the one thing that keeps us smiling through our tears, that Matthew lives forever. When God gives a gift, he gives it forever,' said Fr. David Durkee, becoming choked up. The second memorial and night of remembrance started later around 8 p.m. at Witwer Park in North Canton next to North Canton Middle School. I-TEAM: New development in unsolved Cleveland Metroparks double murder Hundreds came out in force and in costume. Some wore blue clothing, which was his favorite color. Others dressed up like characters from Star Wars, but they all carried lights. 'Light because he was a light,' said organizer Rachel Hoffman Murray. 'We've got the glow sticks and light sabers, flashlights and a chance to kind of shine in that darkness.' Matthew's death on Memorial Day has devastated the area after the teen fell from a trailer during the parade. Also in attendance at the vigil were members of the Ohio Garrison 501st Legion Star Wars Cosplayers who were at the parade that day. They said he was always full of joy, curiosity and laughter. 'Matthew was a huge Star Wars fan. Some of our members even got a chance to speak with him before the incident and he was very excited to see us,' said David Hise, Ohio Garrison 501st Commander. Graduating East Cleveland students fulfill a special pact from middle school The vigil was designed to help everyone honor Matthew's life and cope with the tragic loss. 'To recognize Matthew, recognize his family and just, you know, honor the time that we had with him,' said Hoffman-Murray. The community is also allying behind the family in other ways too, from upcoming restaurant fundraisers to selling specially designed t-shirts. 'My daughter knew Matthew. We couldn't believe it and we just wanted to do something to help,' said Ashley Humphrey. They said they want to be a force of heartfelt solidarity and tangible support for Matthew's family during this difficult time. 'I think that's part of the healing process, everyone coming together supporting one another,' said Hise. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Hiker suspended 150 feet from a helicopter after plummeting into a waterfall in Northern California
A hiker who fell 30 feet down a waterfall and into a pool in Butte County had to be harnessed to the end of a 150-foot rope and pulled out by a helicopter over the Memorial Day weekend, according to authorities. The hiker, who was not identified by authorities, suffered serious injuries and could not be reach by ambulance in time, rescuers said. The man was hiking with friends near Feather River Canyon and Camp Creek Falls — near the site of the 2018 Camp fire — when he tried to take a photo of the waterfall and slipped, according to authorities. The hiker fell onto the granite rocks and over the edge of the waterfall, down a 30-foot drop into the pool below, according to Kevin Soukup, a spokesperson for Butte County Sheriff's Search and Rescue. The rescue team responded to the incident in Pulga and when they saw he had sustained serious injuries, decided to rely on a helicopter for the rescue. The injured man, who was conscious at the time, was put into a harness and flown while attached to the helicopter with the 150-foot rope, Soukup said. The man was flown to a landing zone near Cresta Power House and transferred to Enloe FlightCare for further medical care. The entire helicopter trip took between 30 seconds and a minute. Read more:This cliffhanger video from Riverside County has a happy ending "This is the riskiest type of rescue that you do," Soukup said. "Just by nature, helicopters are dangerous. Anytime someone suffers a traumatic injury, you look at the risk and reward and getting them out as quickly as possible via the helicopter was the right decision to make." The road getting out of the area is about three miles and an ambulance wouldn't have made it in time, Soukup said. Anytime there is a traumatic injury, if the journey is more than a 30-minute drive, you have to fly them there, he said. The rescue was a joint operation with Cal Fire and Butte County Fire.

The 100 Deadliest Days: AAA says teen driver deaths jump in summer months
May 30—WILKES-BARRE — Jana Tidwell, spokesperson for AAA Mid-Atlantic, this week said summer months are particularly dangerous as more young drivers hit the road during school breaks with many logging more unsupervised driving time than usual. "We encourage families to take advantage of AAA resources like our driver education classes and parent-teen safe driving agreements to help set clear expectations for driving privileges," Tidwell said. According to AAA, across the country, 13,135 people have been killed in a crash involving a teen driver between 2019 and 2023. More than 30% of those deaths occurred during the "100 deadliest days" between Memorial Day and Labor Day, according to a AAA review of crash data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. On average, eight people are killed per day in teen-involved driving crashes in the summer, compared to seven per day during the rest of the year. In 2023, the most recent year of complete crash data, 2,897 people were killed in crashes involving a teen driver. A third of those deaths — 860 — happened during the 100 Deadliest Days. AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety analysis of NHTSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data of deadly crashes involving drivers ages 15-18 in Pennsylvania shows the tragic impact in the summer months: According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety 2023 Traffic Safety Culture Index, teen drivers ages 16-18 admitted to having engaged in at least one of the following risky behaviors in the past 30 days: —Holding and talking on a cell phone (42%) —Reading a text or an email on a cell phone (46%) —Sending a text or email (33%) —Using hands-free technology (Bluetooth, CarPlay) (60%) —Driving 10 mph over the speed limit on a residential street (49%) —Driving 15 mph over the speed limit on a freeway (41%) —Red-light running (30%) —Aggressive driving (28%) —Drowsy driving (20%) —Driving without a seatbelt (17%) —Drinking enough alcohol to be over the adult legal limit (7%) —Riding in a car driven by someone who has had too much alcohol (10%) —Driving within an hour of having used marijuana (10%) AAA says there are steps teens and parents can take to save lives. Parents should model safe driving behavior and talk with their teens about buckling up, obeying speed limits and putting phones away. With teens out of school, summer is also a great time for young drivers to complete a comprehensive driver education course to learn the rules of the road. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety also has new research highlighting the life-saving potential of smartphone-blocking technology. Parents should encourage teens to use "do not disturb" features on their phones to silence distractions while driving. Reach Bill O'Boyle at 570-991-6118 or on Twitter @TLBillOBoyle.
