I track sleep deals for a living and I've found the cheapest organic mattress on sale this Prime Day
Organic mattresses don't come cheap and while you might expect Prime Day sleep deals to deliver some bargains, don't hold your breath. You won't find many of the best organic mattresses on Amazon, and even if you scout about the leading mattress brands you won't find a lower price than on the Allswell Organic.
Allswell's beds might not have the premium materials or features you'll find in the best mattresses on the market, but they perform well for their price points and you'll find the standard Allswell Mattress ranking highly in our best cheap mattress guide.
Allswell Organic 12" Hybrid Mattress: twin XL was $577 now $298 at WalmartI doubt you'll see an organic mattress any cheaper than this, and I don't think you'll see this one for very long, either. This clearance sale drops the price of the Allswell Organic mattress in twin XL, queen and Cal king sizes, and if it's a queen you're after it'll cost you just $558 (was $628). It's made with organic cotton, wool and latex, plus coils made from 98% recycled steel and it's assembled by hand in California. There's no sleep trial as such but you'll get free 90-day returns and free shipping.
User score: ★★★★½ (100+ reviews)
Because organic materials are more expensive than the foams and fabrics you'll find in other beds, I expect organic mattresses to come in at premium price points. And to put it bluntly, even at MSRP the Allswell Organic Hybrid seems suspiciously cheap compared with other affordable beds.
When you look at the most affordable option in our best organic mattress guide, the Nolah Natural 11 mattress you'll see currently starts at $974 for a twin, which is more than you'll pay for the Allswell in a Cal king size. And looking at a cheaper option, the Avocado Eco Organic, that's currently available from $679 for a twin.
So if you plump for the Allswell, will you be lumbering yourself with a bad organic mattress? I don't think so. Just to be clear, I don't think you'll get the same build quality from the Allswell that you'll find in the Nolah or Avocado; I researched this mattress last year and came to the conclusion that it does look a little cheap and its construction will be more basic than more premium organic beds.
However its eco-credentials and mattress certifications are sound: it's made with GOTS certified organic cotton and wool, and GOLS certified organic latex, and its individually wrapped coils are made from 98% recycled steel.
The Allswell features a Euro top consisting of a thick latex layer topped with wool, and the feel is rated as medium; I'd actually expect it to be more like medium-firm, and I'd predict that this mattress would suit average-weight sleepers in all sleep styles. Lighter side sleepers probably won't get enough cushioning, and heavier sleepers might not get enough support.
So should you buy it? I think if you're set on finding a cheap mattress and you'd like it to be organic, this is worth your money. But if you're investing in an organic mattress to sleep on every night, I'd hold out for a deal on a more premium option because ultimately you'll win in terms of comfort, support and longevity.

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.

Starting at Just $449, Apple's Latest M3 iPad Air Just Hit Its Lowest-Ever Price
It might be the latest model, but Apple's iPad Air M3 is often the subject of a discount at various retailers. But this current round of deals slashes it to its lowest price yet -- and we don't expect it to go much lower any time soon. Amazon is now offering the entry-level 128GB 11-inch M3 iPad Air for just $449, down from the usual $599. That's a respectable $150 discount, as long as you choose the space gray variant. Other colors are discounted but not as significantly on Amazon. Need a bigger display? The same $150 discount applies to the 13-inch model as well, with three of the four color variants on sale. Both Walmart and Best Buy are currently matching Amazon's prices, too and they have all color variants marked down. The latest iPad Air comes with the fast M3 chip, so it won't struggle to play all the latest games or run the most capable apps. It features a gorgeous Liquid Retina display in 11- and 13-inch size options, just like the eye-wateringly priced M4 iPad Pro. Other specs worth noting include fast Wi-Fi 6E support for streaming content and downloading apps, while storage options go all the way to 1TB for packrats. To learn more, check out our full review of the iPad Air M3. Need to take your iPad on the road? Models with cellular connectivity are also offered, again with a $50 discount. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Why this deal matters This is the best iPad Air that Apple has ever made, and it's a very viable alternative to the iPad Pro for people who want a great tablet without spending laptop-like sums of cash. It comes in multiple colors and will be a great tablet for years to come.

The latest iPad mini is $100 off right now
The latest Apple iPad mini, which was released at the tail-end of 2024, is on sale for $399 via Amazon . That's a discount of $100 and close to a record low price. The only caveat? The deal doesn't apply to the iconic Space Gray colorway, but all other hues are on sale. The iPad mini 7 made our list of the best Apple tablets because, well, it's the only one the company makes at this size. However, the specs haven't been hobbled here. It's a real iPad, through and through. We said it was everything we want in a small tablet in our official review , and that holds true today. The tablet supports the Apple Pencil Pro and the integrated A17 Pro chip is plenty powerful. It's not an M-series chip, but you probably won't notice. The entry-level model, which is the one on sale today, ships with 128GB of storage. It's also small and can therefore fit just about anywhere. On the downside, we found the bezels to be a bit thick. We were also a bit disappointed with the 60Hz refresh rate, though the display does look great. This model lacks a Face ID sensor, but that suits me just fine. I prefer fingerprint scans or passcodes. Check out our coverage of the best Apple deals for more discounts, and follow @EngadgetDeals on X for the latest tech deals and buying advice.
