I test mattresses for a living — my all-time favorite is now $400 off in 4th of July sales
That's double the saving on the smaller sizes compared to what you'd get in the brand's general public sale (just $200 off twin sizes). With $400 off a queen, the Classic now costs $1,699 (was $2,099) in this year's 4th of July sales, matching the cheapest price I saw it sell for during all of last year's big holiday sales (it was slightly cheaper at $1,695 in February's Presidents' Day sale).
Saatva Classic: twin was $1,399 now $999 at Saatva In our Saatva Classic mattress review we awarded this luxury bed a full 5 out of 5 stars, declaring it the top recommended choice in our best mattress of 2025 guide. $400 off is the best Saatva mattress sale offer you'll get on the Classic for the 4th of July, reducing a twin to $999 (was $1,399) and a queen to $1,699 (was $2,099). I don't expect to see these prices again until Labor Day – and that's only if mattress tariffs don't send costs soaring indefinitely – so if you need a new mattress and want the Saatva Classic and for the cheapest price, this is the deal to consider.
Our review: ★★★★★ User score: ★★★★★ (4,000+ reviews)
The Saatva Classic is available in two heights (11.5' or 14.5') and three feels (Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, Firm), and it comes with a 365-night sleep trial, lifetime warranty, and free installation and old bed removal (the Classic is a flat-shipped mattress that comes via free White Glove Delivery).
I slept on the Saatva Classic for seven months and recommend it as the best hybrid mattress for most people looking to increase their sleep comfort. It ticks a lot of boxes for me, including comfortable lumbar support, how easy it is to move around on, and how well it isolates motion (my husband stays up later than me, then drops like a stone when getting into bed).
The edge support is very robust – the strongest I've tested – and the pressure relief is faultless (I have zero painful pressure points when lying on this bed). While not an active cooling mattress the Classic regulates temperature incredibly well, meaning there are no hot spots across the mattress. And as someone who overheats easily on the wrong mattress, effective temperature regulation is very important to my sleep comfort. For a slightly cheaper cooling hybrid, consider the Bear Elite priced $1.457 (was $2,427) at Bear.
The Luxury Firm Saatva Classic would suit couples and average weight sleepers regardless of the position they sleep on. Heavier sleepers, especially back and stomach sleepers, might fare better on the harder Firm Classic, while people who weigh under 130lbs (especially side sleepers) will likely feel more comfortable on the Plush Soft.
While the Saatva Classic ticks every box for support, performance, comfort and value for money, it doesn't suit everyone's budget. If you need a cheaper hybrid bed that offers good lumbar support, a cooler feel and a durable build, I recommend the DreamCloud Classic.
I slept on the previous version of this mattress for three months and found that while it wasn't as instantly comfy as the Saatva, it was an excellent performer for the price – it's over $1,000 cheaper at $665 for a queen plus you get $599 of free bedding. Here's more…
DreamCloud Classic: twin was $1,014 now $399 at DreamCloudThe DreamCloud Classic is the highest-rated option in our best mattress in a box guide thanks to its unbeatable price versus performance dynamic. It isn't as polished as the Saatva, but considering it costs a fraction of the price at $665 for a queen, it's well worth considering for smaller budgets. I have the previous model in my guest room and all of my family and friends have loved sleeping on it. My only bugbear is that some mattress protectors get bunched up on the deeply quilted cover, but that isn't a dealbreaker. The benefits are similar to Saatva's too, with a year's trial and a forever warranty, but the free shipping is basic (no installation here). The $599 of free bedding is fantastic value though, and as this is a common deal in the DreamCloud mattress sale you don't have to rush your decision to buy.

ChatGPT Agent supercharges AI to carry out tasks — here's how OpenAI's new agent works
OpenAI is introducing a new capability for ChatGPT designed to help users manage complex, multi-step tasks. The feature, called ChatGPT agent, is now available to Pro, Plus and Team users, and enables the AI to complete assignments from start to finish using a virtual computer. With the agent mode activated, users can ask ChatGPT to perform tasks such as: Unlike typical chatbot interactions that involve generating text, the agent can navigate websites, securely log in with user permission, run code, compile research into spreadsheets or slides and deliver outputs in editable formats. Users retain control throughout the process, with ChatGPT requesting explicit approval before submitting forms or handling sensitive information. The new capability builds on OpenAI's previous tools by combining: Together, these components enable the AI to transition between reasoning and action, completing tasks in a more autonomous and organized way while still prompting users when clarification or approval is needed. To enable the feature, users can open any ChatGPT conversation and select 'agent mode' from the tools dropdown. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Once active, the system can carry out multi-step workflows that typically require switching between apps, browser tabs or tools. OpenAI has emphasized the safety systems built into this release. The ChatGPT agent is designed to avoid high-risk actions, such as sending emails, making purchases or offering legal or financial advice, without user approval. It has been trained to recognize and reject malicious or ambiguous instructions, and it alerts users to any uncertainty or potentially sensitive actions. To further reduce risks, OpenAI has implemented a range of safeguards, including always-on classifiers, refusal training for dual-use scenarios and enforcement pipelines to prevent misuse, particularly in areas involving biological or chemical threats. These protections reflect OpenAI's broader Preparedness Framework, which prioritizes caution even in the absence of direct evidence that the model could enable harmful activity. 'We don't have direct evidence the model could help a novice create severe biological or chemical harm,' OpenAI noted, 'but we are exercising caution.' According to OpenAI, this release is an early step in expanding agentic AI capabilities. The company plans to regularly add new features and improvements over time, with the goal of making ChatGPT more versatile and useful for a broader set of users. Whether for summarizing meetings, conducting research or preparing presentations, ChatGPT's new agent functionality signals a shift from conversational assistance to hands-on task execution. Fortunately, oversight and control remain in the user's hands. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds. Make sure to click the Follow button.

Communicator Spotlight: Nairi Hourdajian of Figma
Nairi Hourdajian serves as chief communications officer at the collaborative design software company, Figma. Why it matters: Figma recently filed to go public, becoming the first U.S. unicorn to break the dam for post-Labor Day IPOs, Axios' Dan Primack points out. Catch up quick: Hourdajian got her start working on Capitol Hill and for political campaigns before joining Uber in 2013 as head of global communications. She then ran marketing and communications for early-stage venture capital firm Canaan before joining Figma in 2020. What she's saying: "I love working for founder-led companies because it reminds me a lot of working for political campaigns," she told Axios. "The politician's brand and the message of the campaign are inexorably linked. And that passion and care that a politician has for every detail of their campaign is very similar to how a founder cares for every detail of how their company is run." Plus, both rely on finding and engaging with the most dedicated user bases, she added. "One of the things that I really believe, that I learned from politics, is that the intensity of sentiment is the most important thing that you can have," Hourdajian said. "So when you're doing that first poll about a potential candidate, all you need to see is that there is a really passionate sentiment about that person, even if the number of people who know them is small, because then you know that once they get to know the candidate, that that can potentially spread." "The same is true for products or for any brand or company. When you're building a brand, you need to inspire that kind of passion." State of play: Hourdajian sits on the senior leadership team and reports to Figma chief marketing officer Sheila Vashee. She oversees the team responsible for communications, corporate affairs, brand marketing and community and experiential marketing. "I think of comms as a brand strategy function," she said. "You're essentially showing the world who you are through your actions. And so, how are you advising the business? How are you driving ideas, messages, stories and tactical executions that tell the story that is important to tell for your business?" Zoom in: Her team just executed their sixth Config — an annual conference for Figma users and community members — and supported the launch of four new products. The company is also focused on growing internationally, Hourdajian says, with offices now in Berlin, London, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo. What to watch: Communicating with a consumer lens. "We're a brand that mostly makes money B2B but we have a very strong consumer patina to our brand [because] enterprise buyers are people too," she said. "There's no reason that the language, the tactics, the execution, the visuals need to be worse or archaic or boring just because you happen to be a B2B company versus a consumer brand. And bringing a consumer lens to every company, no matter what space you're in, is something I'm really passionate about." She's also paying close attention to the marketing and comms strategies coming out of Oatly, Nike and Peloton. Best career advice: Do not have a five-year plan. "You will limit your option space by accident. Wherever you are, in whatever role, if you're learning, being challenged and enjoying the role then stick with it. If those things start to not feel true anymore, pick up your head. Look around, but be open. You don't know where you could end up."
