There's still time to shop Coop's back-to-school sale — these are the dorm essentials I'd buy
My favorite deal is the 20% discount on the best mattress protector in our guide: the Coop Ultra-Tech Waterproof Mattress Protector, which earned an overall score of 4.5 out of 5 stars for its performance. But if all you want is to grab everything you need at maximum discount, there's also a back-to-school bundle where you can choose pillows, sheet set and a topper with 40% off; ideal when you consider that a dorm room bed is unlikely to feature the best mattress or best pillows.
Need to explore more bedding options to create the ultimate sleep haven in your dorm? Head to our best back to school deals where we track the top discounts on everything you need from mattresses, pillows to even weighted blankets and sleep masks. And remember that if you're not up against a back-to-school deadline you may get a better deal by waiting for the Labor Day mattress sales. But first, here are my top 5 product recommendations to shop from Coop now…
1. Coop Ultra-Tech Waterproof Mattress Protector: twin was $46 from $36.80 at Coop Sleep GoodsOur lead tester gives this mattress protector her seal of approval. In her in-depth Coop Ultra-Tech Waterproof Mattress Protector review, it proved to be 100% waterproof, noiseless and temperature regulating translating to worry-free, comfortable and clean sleep all night long. A twin XL mattress protector is now $36.80 (was $46) and comes with benefits including a 100-night sleep trial, one-year warranty and free shipping.
Our review: ★★★★½User score: ★★★★★ (based on over 300 reviews)
2. Essence Adjustable Pillows: standard set from $85 from $68 at Coop Sleep GoodsI've tested our best pillow overall: the Coop Original Adjustable, which continues to be my favorite one and top pick for all sleepers. The Essence pillow is different in terms of fill (made from breathable and plush down-alternative fibers) but the design is the same (both being adjustable). It can, therefore, suit any sleeping position with an addition of a 2-inch gusset for extra support. You can now find it at 20% off which drops the price of a standard pack of two from $85 to $65. Plus you can enjoy a 100-night sleep trial, 5-year warranty and free shipping.
User score: ★★★★★ (based on 3 reviews)
3. Comphy SoftSpa Sheet Set: twin from $149 from $119.20 at Coop Sleep GoodsWashing bedding might not make it your list of priorities in college — so what you need is a set of high-performance bed sheets. Not only is the Comphy SoftSpa range Coop's most affordable bedding line-up, it's also the one featuring a low-maintenance, quick-drying and easy stain-release fabric: SoftPhiber, which also gets softer with every wash, according to the brand. It is available in nine different sizes and six chic colors. A twin XL set is now $119.20, while a queen size will cost your $143.20 (was $179). Plus you get Coop's bedding benefits: 100-night sleep trial, one-year warranty and free shipping.
User score: ★★★★★ (based on over 1,500 reviews)
4. Coop Original Mattress Topper: twin XL from $199 from $159.20 at Coop Sleep Goods Need to break into your dorm bed or make it more comfy? A mattress topper is the solution. Like some of the best mattress toppers, this one from Coop features breathable and contouring cross-cut memory foam and microfiber fill, baffle-box construction to keep it evenly distributed and extra thick 2-inch straps to secure it in place on the bed. Grab a twin XL topper at $159.20 (was $199) while a queen size is priced at $239.20 (was $299). This also comes with Coop's standard bedding benefits as above.
User score: ★★★★★ (based on over 250 reviews)
5. Back to School Bundle: from $199.80 at Coop Sleep GoodsHow does an all-in-one sleep campus pack to save time, money and energy sound? Coop now gives you the option to build your own 'back to school sleep bundle', which includes the Essence pack of pillows, any choice of sheet set and any choice of topper. Based on your choices and sizes, prices may vary but we expect it to start from $199.80 (if selecting all base-models of products). The best part? You get an overall 40% off a bundle as part of the current sale.

Argentina's Famed, Open-Flame Hit Makes Dramatic D.C. Entrance
Two standout Argentinian siblings known for sizzling steaks and acclaimed cocktails prepare to make their hotly anticipated stateside debut right around Labor Day. Buenos Aires-born Florería Atlántico and Brasero Atlántico open in tandem along the banks of Georgetown's C&O Canal by early September (1066 Wisconsin Avenue NW). Its founder Renato 'Tato' Giovannoni converted what used to be D.C.'s oldest firehouse into an ambitious hospitality venture that starts with an enchanting flower shop stocked with natural wines sold until 2 a.m. One door over, there's the restaurant, Brasero Atlántico, that greets diners with a striking grill firing up the prime cuts of meat Argentina is known for. The massive cooking mechanism that's visible from the street weighs as much as a car and took a feat of nature to get here (a long hold-up in NY didn't help). 'It's not going anywhere now,' Giovannoni tells Eater. Brasero Atlántico is joined below by Florería Atlántico, his famed basement bar in Buenos Aires that currently ranks among the World's 50 Best. Florería Atlántico's fruity and floral Bocharov cocktail (Grey Goose, tangerine juice, strawberry, rosehip jam, pine water, pepper). Florería Atlántico The master mixologist debuted the Atlántico brand in Argentina's coastal capital in 2013, and two more have since followed in Barcelona, Spain and the Middle Eastern island country of Bahrain. Fellow Buenos Aires-born hospitality vet Alex Resnik helps steer the stateside expansion that starts with D.C. Next up is Beverly Hills, where Resnik used to run Cut as a member of Wolfgang Puck's senior team. Its well-traveled chef Manuela Carbone is also from Buenos Aires and comes to D.C. with Michelin-starred credentials at Coi in San Francisco and Ekstedt in Stockholm. Atlántico's overall theme pays homage to Argentina's 19th-century boom of immigrants from Spain, Italy, France, and Lebanon, who sailed to South America by way of the Atlantic before planting roots in its lush countryside. Seasonality, as such, is a big focus across a menu full of house-made pates, preserved vegetables, and wild game. The 1800s-era brick building's facade is historically protected and serendipitously has an on-theme Cerulean blue paint job on its doors and window frames. Rehabbing the centuries-old interior was a beast, to say the least. Unearthed and restored wooden flooring and polished-up wrought-iron railings join modern accents like curved blue booths and an open-air kitchen that blends into the bar. 'We try to represent the way of eating out in Argentina,' says Giovannoni. 'You interact with everybody and see the chefs and the bartenders all working together.' The fired-up grill at Brasero Atlántico in Bahrain. Brasero Atlántico The lengthy counter is wrapped in gleaming copper as a salute to Giovannoni's engineering grandfather, who taught him how to nail the same metal onto his hometown roof many summers ago. Brasero Atlántico puts its sky-high ceilings on full display, reminding diners that firefighters used to slide down a long pole here. Its original height is also retained in the bathrooms, which make moo-ing sounds as a nod to Brasero's countryside theme. In addition to running restaurants, he owns a budding Argentinian gin line called Príncipe de los Apóstoles that will make its way into D.C. cocktails. And that's not all; the renaissance man of sorts is also a talented artist. Using his go-to medium of graphic pencil, two mythological sea creatures recently took shape on cement canvases and will oversee the 55-seat restaurant. Its private dining room in the back is dramatic. A 'chandelier' suspended above resembles an upside-down tree one would see while driving into Argentina's scenic province of La Pampa. Floor-to-ceiling planks of reclaimed barn wood from Virginia wrap the window-less den. The room follows a no-DJ, records-only mantra — a tradition born at its Buenos Aires location — and dinner party hosts here will be handed a selection of five vinyls they can play for guests inside and take home after. Empanadas are served on both levels, joined by white-and-blue plateware from France. The Buenos Aires original comes with a humble backstory. After searching for the right space for 10 years, he opened what he says was Argentina's first basement bar on a $60,000 budget. 'It's all we had at the time,' he says. Florería Atlántico's D.C. layout follows the lead of the original. A pint-sized flower shop bursting with for-sale bouquets and orchids sourced from a Maryland vendor joins a coffee counter with an Argentinian pastry program. Come 4 p.m., a host who doubles as a florist leads guests past an antique refrigerator door and down a set of stairs. Entering Florería Atlántico feels like stepping onto a sea floor. A large porthole-like installation sets the scene for a subterranean lounge blanketed in a wavy blue carpet. The basement bar serves a separate, smaller menu centered around seafood that speaks to the country's vital Río de la Plata river that spills out into the Atlantic. The basement level will serve a separate, smaller menu centered around seafood. The underwater theme even extends to the bathrooms, which are slathered in the same seafaring wallpaper found in Argentina and guests hear a soundtrack of crashing waves on loop. The Negroni Balestrini at Florería Atlántico Florería Atlántico Florería Atlántico imports its award-winning cocktails full of gin, sherry, and house-made vermouth, with each one telling a story of Argentina's immigrant community. A D.C.-specific list of 'Legendary Cocktails' include nods to its own melting pot culture, Scottish settlers, and tales of the Potomac. For wine, a growing list of 250 bottles to start are visible behind along an upstairs runway that leads to a slim outdoor terrace overlooking the currently-drained canal. Standing out there last month, as his multi-part project was nearing its finish line inside, Giovannoni reflected on the full-circle moment of how he ended up here. The first time he visited the U.S. was in 1991, and his first stop was in Georgetown to visit a friend attending the University. Now the Argentinian-born entrepreneur has attained the American dream with a restaurant of his own, and one that rides the wave of a newfound dining renaissance in Georgetown. His new neighbor, however, could not be more different. That would be Executive Branch, Donald Trump Jr.'s months-old underground social club that counts the Winklevoss twins as founding members, charges chosen ones $500,000 to join, and reportedly uses ex-Navy Seals as security guards. Still, Giovannoni stays ever-optimistic when it comes to the chaotic state of Washington politics that will literally surround him soon. 'It is what it is – you have a new president every four years,' he says.

Back to school sleep essentials — 5 things college students need for a good night's rest
Over the past year, I've been deep in the world of sleep, testing and reviewing mattresses and sleep tech, and learning everything there is to know about getting quality rest. But not too long ago, I was just another college student trying to sleep among endless assignments and social events. If I could go back to school with the sleep knowledge I have now, there are a handful of products I would have kitted myself out with for a better chance of sleeping well during the academic year. Top of the list would be the best mattress for your budget range (which you can find in our best mattress for college students guide), then I'd look into completing a blissful sleep setup with comfortable, breathable bedding and investing in some sleep gadgets to really level up my ZZZs. With Labor Day sleep sales on the horizon, now is a great time to start scouting out deals that will bring you better sleep for less this academic year. I've spent all morning shopping early sales and here are the best deals on sleep products trusted by me and the rest of Tom's Guide's sleep team... 1. Siena 8" Signature Memory Foam Mattress: full was $229 now $159 at AmazonAffordable, supportive and decent quality, the Siena Signature Memory Foam mattress is a college student's dream. Though this model is 2" shorter than the 10" version we tested for our Siena Mattress review, we're confident it's a reliably supportive bed. Just note that our reviewers found it slightly firmer than expected, so it best suits stomach and back sleepers. If you want more pressure relief, check out our EGOHOME Memory Foam Mattress review. However, the Siena is our best budget mattress of the year and you can bag a twin for just $109 and a dorm-ready twin XL for $149 at Amazon right now, with a 10-year warranty and 180-night trial included. 2. Luxury Cooling Mattress Protector: twin was $99 now $74.25 at Brooklyn BeddingWhether you'll be sleeping on a hand-me-down dorm mattress or have invested in your own, you'll want to make sure you and your bed are protected against germs and spills. The Brooklyn Bedding Luxury Cooling Mattress Protector can do just that, and keep you comfortably cool at the same time. Our lead tester often goes back to it when she's done testing other sleep products, because of its heat-reducing capability. It's not the cheapest protector on the market, but we feel it's a worthwhile investment if you're attending a college in a sun-belt state. Plus, a 25% back to school discount takes a twin XL to $81.75 (was $109) and full to $89.25 (was $119). 3. Lane Linen 100% Organic Cotton sheet set: twin from $29.49 from $24.99 at AmazonBreathable, soft and environmentally friendly, an organic cotton bedsheet set can help you keep your sleep space cool, and refreshing in stuffy dorm rooms. This Lane Linen set at Amazon is a great, affordable option available in a variety of colors and prints to match your dorm room palette. Current prices depend what color and size you shop, but you can get a full size Lane Linen 100% Cotton sheet set in white, including a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and two pillowcases, from $30.59 now (was $39.99) after 24% off. 4. Odokee Store sunrise alarm clock: was $59.99 now $40.49 at AmazonA sunrise alarm clock can revolutionize your morning routine, especially as we head into the darker fall and winter semesters, by simulating the natural rising of the sun. Although not one of our top-rated sunrise alarm clocks, the Odokee is great value option at Amazon right now, thanks to a 33% off deal. This cuts the cost of the putty colored version to just $40.49 from $59.99. It's sleek and doubles up as a sound machine that will soothe you to sleep with a choice of 25 calming sounds. 5. MUSICOZY Sleep Headphones Bluetooth Sleep Mask: was $39.99 now from $26.99 at AmazonThe MUSICOZY headphone sleep mask is a two-in-one sleep gadget combining a blackout sleep mask to shield you from light with inbuilt Bluetooth speakers to help drown out noisy dorm mates. Our tester was impressed by how well the MUSICOZY blocked out light, and though the sound quality wasn't excellent, it was good enough for listening to white noise, soothing sleep sounds and calming background music at bedtime. There's currently 33% off the black model at Amazon, bringing it down to $26.99.

Confidence in cybersecurity holds in face of retail attacks
Businesses remain overwhelmingly confident in the value of cybersecurity despite the recent high-profile cyberattacks on retailers, a survey has shown. GlobalData's Tech Sentiment Polls Q2 2025 survey, carried out across the company's network of B2B news websites between April and June, found that 85% of respondents believe either that cybersecurity will live up to all of its promise or that there is some use for it. In terms of the impact the technology is expected to have, 69% of respondents suggested it would either significantly or at least slightly disrupt their industries. Nearly two-thirds (60%) of respondents reported that cybersecurity is already disrupting their industries, with a further 18% believing that it will do so at some point in the next decade. The survey showed a slight fall in the proportion of respondents predicting that cybersecurity would not disrupt their industry at all, from 22% in Q1 2025 to 18% in Q2. The survey was carried out around the time that various retailers in the UK and elsewhere were being hit by cyberattacks. They included Marks & Spencer, Co-op and Harrods. By way of context, GlobalData said in its report outlining the survey results: 'As a technology, cybersecurity is ubiquitous across all sectors. In Q2 2025, 68% of respondents believed cybersecurity was already disrupting their industry or would do so in the next 12 months. No industry is exempt from cyberattacks. 'A lower percentage of respondents claimed to fully understand cybersecurity this quarter (39%) than in the previous quarter (46%). As cyberattacks become more sophisticated, it will be more difficult to identify and tackle cybersecurity threats.' Elsewhere, the survey showed that artificial intelligence remains the technology that respondents believe will be most disruptive. Well over half (58%) believe it will significantly disrupt their industries, with a further fifth (19%) expecting a slight disruption. "Confidence in cybersecurity holds in face of retail attacks" was originally created and published by Verdict, a GlobalData owned brand.
