I tried the 'best mattress for side sleepers' and fell in love — now 27% off for Memorial Day
As a side sleeper, I'm on a quest to find a mattress that cradles my body and keeps my spine aligned, while stopping the dreaded 'dead hip' or achy shoulder. So, when the opportunity came my way to try out the renowned Helix Midnight Luxe, I jumped at the chance. And, with 27% off all Helix mattresses right now with the code TOMS27, this luxury mattress has dropped to just $1,732.54 or a queen (was $2,373.33).
The Tom's Guide team has rated the Helix Midnight Luxe as the best mattress for side sleepers of 2025, and we're not the only ones. The hybrid pillow-top bed is renowned for its pressure relief, support and comfort, and when I finally got the chance to lie down on it, I wasn't disappointed.
So, if you're browsing the Memorial Day mattress sales to refresh your bedroom and treat yourself to some much needed quality sleep, I recommend the Midnight Luxe. And, since the current mattress sales are offering such great value, I'll also share my top alternative for a slightly smaller budget.
Helix Midnight Luxe mattress: twin was $1,436 now $1,048.28 at HelixThis Helix Midnight Luxe is made up of seven layers that combine gel memory foam, high-density foams and individually wrapped coils, topped with Tencel pillow-top cover (and the option to pay for an upgraded GlacioTex cooling cover). The result? A medium-firm feel that cushions you enough to relieve pressure but not enough to sink into the mattress. During our Helix Midnight Luxe mattress review, our lead tester reported 'cloud-like comfort' when sleeping on her side, thanks to the responsive foams and the 'give' in the pillow top. During the Helix Memorial Day mattress sale, you can get a queen for $1,732.54 (was $2,373.33) using the code TOMS27. Plus, you'll get a free mattress protector and sheet set, as well as a 100-night sleep trial, free shipping and a limited lifetime warranty.
The Sleep Editor for Tom's Guide, Nicola Appleton, has long been telling me about the wonders of the Helix Midnight Luxe since she reviewed it. It's her favorite mattress by a mile, as well as one of our top picks in this year's best mattress for all sleepers guide so there was a lot of hype to live up to.
But when I lay down on it for the first time, it all made sense. The soft, cradling pillow top contoured around my body, offering constant plush support no matter my position.
I even tried lying on my back (which I never do because my spine is quite arched) and the mattress moulded to my shape, taking the strain and pressure off my spine. I think this support can also be attributed to the ErgoAlign Layer (which is an optional extra, though in the current sale it's reduced from $249 to $187)— a layer of ultra dense foam that sits above the coils for extra lumbar support. It's no surprise it features in our tried and tested best hybrid mattresses of the year.What sets this mattress apart from others I have tried is the fantastic balance between plush, cozy comfort and responsive, adaptive support. I personally hate the sinking feeling of soft foam mattresses, it makes me feel claustrophobic and I struggle to see how it's supporting my body.
But when I tried the Midnight Luxe, I lay on top of the bed rather than within it, and it didn't feel like the mattress was too firm around my shoulders, hips and knees. It's a mattress worth investing in, especially in the current Helix mattress sales.
Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid: twin was $865 now $605.50 with pillow top at Brooklyn BeddingThe Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid shares a similar design to the Midnight Luxe, but it's over $500 cheaper in the current mattress sales. It has five layers featuring high-density foams and innerspring coils, with an optional cooling pillow-top. The benefit of the Signature Hybrid is its customization options, making it suitable for all types of sleepers. You can choose from a soft, medium or firm feel, and from 14 different sizes. For the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid review, we tried the firm option with the pillow top, but we'd suggest side sleepers opt for the medium or soft. There's currently a 30% off Brooklyn Bedding mattress sale with the code MEMORIAL30, bringing a queen size with the pillow top down to $1,212.40 (was $1,732). You'll also get a limited lifetime warranty, a 120-night trial and free shipping.

Anti-American sentiment from tariffs is NOT having a major impact on Utah tourism: Utah Office of Tourism
SALT LAKE CITY () — Despite national decreases in international tourism, many Utah businesses saw a successful Memorial Day weekend. Managing Director for the Utah Office of Tourism Natalie Randall told ABC4, 'In the state of Utah, we know that international visitation is a critical piece to our visitor economy.' Randall reported that about 7% of the total visitor direct spending comes from international visitation, and about 40% of that comes from Canadian visitors. 'As you're talking through tariffs, as you're thinking about the Canadian sentiment that's coming in, we're seeing at the national level, there's been this reduction in visitation to the U.S., and at Utah, we know that we're not immune to seeing those changes as well, and so for us it's a priority to remain proactive in the space and continue to engage with the Canadian visitor and let them know that this is a place that they can be inspired to visit.' Natalie Randall, Managing Director for the Utah Office of Tourism However, Randall also told that there was not a large negative impact on tourism over Memorial Day weekend. Upcoming Ogden car show to raise funds for program that helps at-risk youth 'Many of our businesses were able to experience successful weekends, full bookings, and many of them were able to find ways to backfill from what you might anticipate with the international visitation perhaps lagging slightly,' she said. Randall said that there are many reasons to remain optimistic, including West Jet recently investing in a direct flight from Salt Lake City to Edmonton, Canada. In a recent survey of Canadian travelers conducted by Love Communications, 63% of respondents would still consider visiting the U.S. in the next 36 months, with 42% saying 'yes' and 21% saying 'maybe.' In that survey, the most influential factors in interest in visiting the U.S. was natural scenery and iconic landmarks or historical sites, which might offer one explanation as to why international visitation to Utah has not suffered greatly, as Utah is rich in natural scenery and iconic landmarks.
