This is just slightly more expensive than the deal we saw during President's Day, but it's still a nice discount on our very favorite mattress. This mattress pairs a medium-firm feel with a nice plush top that doesn't sink over time or get too hot while you're sleeping. It'll work well for back, stomach, and side sleepers, and the individually wrapped springs are dispersed smartly so you have more support where you need it.
The Naturepedic EOS mattress has many internal layers that can be customized to your heart's content. Make it firmer or softer by unzipping the cover and adding or removing latex layers to create your ideal firmness. You can swap layers for free for the first 100 days, so you've got a large window of time to dial it in just right. The mattress is made with organic cotton, wool, and latex, and you can even choose different default firmnesses for each side of the bed in case your bedmate prefers a different setup. You'll also get a free waterproof mattress pad. This sale ends on March 24.
All right, I'm gonna be honest here—this isn't the best deal on Avocado's Green Mattress. It was $100 cheaper around President's Day a couple of weeks ago, and it will probably be less expensive on Memorial Day. But if you're in need of an excellent organic mattress right this very second, you can still save some cash through March 24. It's one of the Best Organic Mattresses, and it strikes a super-balanced firmness level that'll work both for people who prefer a firm mattress and those who prefer a softer one.
The Birch Luxe is our favorite organic mattress overall. It's got a good medium-firm feel that'll appeal to everyone, no matter how they sleep (even if they like to rotate around like a human rotisserie chicken). The individually wrapped coils are topped with latex, wool, and a cotton cover. They offer good lumbar support and edge support, and you won't sink into the mattress and wake up with lower back pain—and you also won't get shoulder stiffness like you might with a firmer mattress. Expect a solid night's sleep, no matter what that looks like for you.
The Leesa Sapira Chill is our favorite mattress for problem sleepers, and if you don't want to pay the $212 upcharge for additional cooling and a quilted top, we still like the base Sapira model. The foam layers and wrapped coils help offer additional support where you need it, keeping your spine nice and aligned without being too stiff on the rest of your body.
Awara mattresses are more affordable than some other organic mattresses we like, though if you've got more room in your budget we also recommend the Premier Luxury Hybrid (on sale for $1,299). The cheaper organic mattress has a better discount based on historical pricing—it's $100 cheaper than we usually see during sales. It's got a soft quilted top made of wool and rayon, and the inside contains organic foam and coils. It's supportive and bouncy, though we wish it had better edge support. It also has handles on the sides, which make it easier to move than other picks we've tested.
Birch makes our favorite mattress topper. It's a combination of cotton, wool, and latex that manages to be soft and plush while still offering support and pressure relief. It worked well for WIRED reviewer Nena Farrell, a side sleeper, and her husband, who sleeps on his back. The 2-inch topper has a 100-night trial, and despite its lack of straps, it doesn't move around on top of the bed.
Cozy Earth makes the softest bamboo sheets we've tested, but they're pricey. Use our code WIRED to get 30 percent off these and other Cozy Earth products (we also like these fuzzy slippers and the brand's resort-worthy pajamas). These sheets are downright luxurious. They feel cool as you slip into bed and warm up quickly—WIRED reviewer Nena Farrell described it as feeling like you're surrounded by melted butter. (I also sleep on these sheets and can't rave about them enough.) They also have deep pockets that fit mattresses up to 20 inches tall. This sale ends on March 15.
This is our very favorite down pillow. It feels like a hotel pillow, offering a mix of both softness and support. The inner structure is nested to help ensure the pillow holds its shape while still cradling your head. That means it won't transform from fluffy to flat as soon as you lay your head down. The 20 percent discount will apply automatically at checkout, and it extends to nearly everything else on the website. This sale ends on March 15.
We recommend a ton of Brooklinen sheet sets. This 300-thread-count organic cotton set is soft and silky, but not overly so, and is made from Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)-certified organic cotton and is Oeko-Tex certified. Brooklinen also has a 300 thread count. Other sets we like are also on sale, including the Heathered Cashmere Sheets for $263 ($88 off) and the Luxe Sateen Core Sheets for $150 ($38 off). This sale ends on March 19.
Ettitude's bamboo sheets are some of the best cooling sheets we've tested. They're breathable, but the bamboo in the fabric adds a touch of softness that's harder to find with some other textiles which can be scratchy or heavy. Now is a great time to pick them up since the price is right and summer is just around the corner. Comforter and Weighted Blanket Deals
Brooklinen's down comforters are great. I've tried both the All-Season and Ultra-Warm weights, and I recommend them both. Choose the All-Season for year-round warmth or the Ultra-Warm for cold climates or winter use specifically. The crinkly, starchy sateen shell feels like a high-end hotel comforter, and the down stays evenly distributed even if you tend to shift around in your sleep a lot. I never need to fluff it up while I'm sleeping to redistribute the down clusters inside. It just keeps me warm and cozy, all night long. This sale ends on March 19.
Helix's chunky, open-weave weighted blanket is breathable but semi-rigid, which means it won't constantly slide off your sofa or bed and onto the floor. It adds a nice weight (10 or 15 pounds) for soothing sensations without feeling too stifling or hot, and it's more affordable than some other weighted blankets we recommend.
It's a small discount, but this is the first price drop we've seen for the Hatch Restore 3 (8/10, WIRED Recommends), which was released at the beginning of the year. The Restore 3 is a sunrise alarm and a sound machine all rolled into one gadget. Using the Hatch smartphone app, you can create dedicated bedtime routines with different sound and light configurations, and there are four physical buttons on the machine that let you adjust volume, switch between routine steps, turn on the light, or switch off your alarm without needing to pick up your phone. We do wish that some of the features weren't locked behind a Hatch+ membership, which costs $3 per month. But if you need a good sunrise alarm that can also play ocean sounds, it's a great nightstand companion. This sale ends on March 13.

No 69-Year-Old Looks Like Kris Jenner IRL. Not Even Kris Jenner.

Illustration by Allure; Source images: Getty Images, Adobe Stock You will forgive me if the number of times I've uttered, 'Geezus Christ,' in the past few days has hit some kind of record. I was asked to write something about Kris Jenner's new face (you have presumably seen at least some of the flood of photos and online conversations that have saturated news and social media feeds since its debut a couple of weeks ago). I've consequently spent what now feels like half my life peering at many of those photos and drowning in mostly vacuous content about what appears to be her vastly changed appearance. I say 'appears to be' because there's really no way of knowing what Kris Jenner actually looks like. Which is one of the reasons for my incessant muttering. I've examined so many photos of the Kardashians/Jenners at this point that I can't even tell them apart. (Not that I was an expert at that even before this week.) The resemblance between Kris and Kim—I think it's Kim—after Kris's most recent facial renovation is similar enough that in photos they look like AI sisters, if not twins. Yet there's a 25-year age difference between them; one of them has birthed six children, is a grandmother of 13, and is only five years younger than I am at the cusp of 75. But in photos, the Kris/Kim's look basically the same age. Geezus Christ. I want to make it clear from the start that I don't judge anyone for their aesthetic choices, my attitude being: It's tough enough trying to reconcile the fact that, as mortals, we could vanish at any moment, so: Whatever gets you through the night. If that requires an all-out effort to diminish the manifestations of your gradual physical deterioration, bless you—go for it. The problem for me isn't, then, choosing to have plastic surgery. The problem is the way the results of that choice are represented in our news and social media feeds. Bottom-line, we're fed a steady diet of… junk food. Prime example: I just watched a plastic surgeon detail on his million-plus follower YouTube channel each step as he determined them, year by year, of Kris's facial evolution. But the photos he used to demonstrate the work she had done were obviously heavily filtered or otherwise edited. So, though he may have extensive experience with facial anatomy, without access to Kris's actual face, he was basically spinning a tale. At the end of the story, an estimated cost of the proposed work pops up: Not the kind of elective surgery money you or I will likely ever enjoy. But—this surgeon points out—you can afford the skin care he's selling, at a much more reasonable price. Small consolation for the sad fact that we can't afford the procedures Kris may or may not have had to make her look like—well, I have no idea what she actually looks like. And neither do you. Geezus Christ. I did find a 2022 video of Kris without makeup, promoting Kim's SKKN skin-care line. Barefaced, she looks very different, nicely preserved, like any well-cared-for civilian you might run into shopping for skin care at your local Walgreen's (you can only buy SKKN online… but you get my gist). According to many accounts, including some of her own, Kris had submitted to, by then, more than one facelift, a panoply of in-office treatments including neurotoxin, microneedling, and whatever else you might think of—or might not even think of, like an earlobe reduction—but her face still looks appropriately, pleasantly, if not excessively lived-in. Her glow, she claims, is due to the seven-step before-bed skin-care routine she has just demonstrated. Geezus Christ. I have no idea what she actually looks like. And neither do you. In the May 2025 version of Kris, she's presenting with a generally smaller face, a more tapered chin, softly oval face shape, and an emphasized jawline. Her new hairstyle, with bangs and a bow, is kittenish. In fact, the whole impression bears a remarkable resemblance to a classic anime girl, a look achieved not only with a facelift and other procedures, but maybe with weight loss, and definitely with elaborately and skillfully applied makeup, a more youthful hairstyle, and on most of these photos: digital filters. (While the Internet has been awash in images of Kris Jenner, I could find only two that were captured in the wild and not coming to us from her owned-and-operated social feed.) This iteration, in its freakish youthfulness and unnatural perfection is what finally shifted my Geezus Christ into the more secular Holy sh*t. Not because of the magic performed by a plastic surgeon, a makeup artist, a hairstylist, and the filters. It's because this artificial representation is being welcomed not only as if it were real, but as if it were achievable—and even desired—through aesthetic procedures. Some of the recent headlines include Kris Jenner's New Look Stuns Fans, Kris Jenner's Glow-up Sparks Positive Reactions, and from this very outlet, Kris Jenner's New Face Is a Great Case for Keeping Plastic Surgery Old School (although this did stand apart as a reported story on the surgical specifics of the type of facelift Jenner's surgeon is known to perform). I can't really say what beauty is. But I can say what it is not. It is not this, this 'sanitized digital simulacra of selfhood that appears online,' as Sophie Gilbert elegantly put it recently in The Atlantic. Nobody looks like Kris. Not even Kris. The detriments to our mental health of what Gilbert calls the 'subtle psychic violence' of the desire resulting from exposure to these simulacra are well-documented. Is there any hope for a more reasonable, healthier, more human and reality-based approach to beauty? The facial plastic surgeon Steven Dayan has proposed a model, as reported in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, called the 'Special Theory of Relativity for Attractiveness.' An editorial published in the Journal of Aesthetic and Clinical Dermatology distills it this way: Dayan suggests that 'the pursuit of physical beauty alone is not enough, that… people also desire to appear genuine and feel confident. In other words, attractiveness is a multidimensional concept comprising beauty, genuineness, and self-esteem, with 'naturalness' being an interpretation of the optimal balance of these factors. It is a reminder that beauty, like time, is a relative concept, shaped by individual perspectives and cultural contexts.' Holy sh*t. What a divine idea!

Doctors near HIV cure with ‘previously impossible' discovery: ‘We have never seen anything close to as good'

An estimated 39 million people around the world are living with HIV — and, while treatment options can ensure they have long, healthy lives, there is no known cure. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) — the most effective current treatment — can reduce HIV levels in the body so low the virus is almost undetectable. An estimated 39 million people around the world are living with HIV. dpa/picture alliance via Getty Images However, the fact that the virus can hide in certain white blood cells has been a major hurdle in fully eradicating it. Now, researchers in Australia have developed a novel lipid nanoparticle, dubbed LNP X, capable of delivering mRNA into these elusive cells. Once inside, the mRNA instructs the cells to reveal the concealed virus, potentially allowing the immune system or additional therapies to target and destroy it. Paula Cevaal, research fellow at the Doherty Institute and co-first author of the study, told the Guardian that this remarkable scientific feat was 'previously thought impossible.' 'In the field of biomedicine, many things eventually don't make it into the clinic — that is the unfortunate truth; I don't want to paint a prettier picture than what is the reality,' Cevaal said. Researchers in Australia have developed a novel lipid nanoparticle, dubbed LNP X, capable of delivering mRNA into white blood cells harboring HIV (pictured here). Corona Borealis – 'But in terms of specifically the field of HIV cure, we have never seen anything close to as good as what we are seeing, in terms of how well we are able to reveal this virus,' Cevaal added. 'So from that point of view, we're very hopeful that we are also able to see this type of response in an animal, and that we could eventually do this in humans.' The results were published last week in the journal Nature Communications. While it could take years to get to human clinical trials — the implications are enormous. The findings add to the latest scientific advancements that suggest a cure for HIV could be on the horizon. Last year, researchers in Amsterdam used gene-editing technology to eliminate all traces of the virus from cells in the laboratory. And last July, a 60-year-old German man was declared HIV-free, making him the seventh person to be cured.

Virginia's federal lawmakers want to make childbirth free

(Photo by Getty Images) Childbirth can cost thousands of dollars, with certain conditions also posing extra costs for parents-to-be who have private health insurance. New legislation proposed by Virginia's Capitol Hill lawmakers and their colleagues could prevent cost-sharing for prenatal, childbirth, neonatal, perinatal and postpartum care, keeping families from being saddled with big bills after birth. U.S. Rep. Jennifer McClellan, D-Richmond, remembers the stress and fear of dealing with placenta previa, a life-threatening maternal condition, when carrying her second child, Samantha. Her placenta wasn't in the right position, placing her and her fetus at risk and spurring a cesarean section birth and neonatal intensive care unit stay for the baby once it was born. She also remembers the extra medical costs that were associated with managing the condition to keep both herself and her daughter alive. The condition is rare but tricky if it develops later in pregnancy as McClellan's did, and exemplifies how costly maternal care can be, especially if there are complications or emergencies. Bipartisan and bicameral legislation she helped create would provide birth-related benefits similar to the ones offered by Medicaid to Americans who are covered by private health insurance. Reducing out-of-pocket costs like copays can help more families stay on top of monitoring conditions to prevent crises and be better able to respond when they do arise, McClellan said. 'The idea here is this will help get more people in for prenatal and preventative care so that hopefully you will have fewer emergencies,' McClellan explained. U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Virginia, said if the measure becomes law, it would represent a big shift in maternal health care for the country. 'Childbirth should be free in the United States, and that's a big idea,' Kaine said , who is a co-patron of the Senate version of the bill. That's already the case in some countries, while in others like Finland, France and Great Britain, costs are curbed for expecting families and efforts to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates have proven successful. Applying the concept to America is something that Vice President J.D. Vance (who also serves as president of the Senate) has previously been on board with, Kaine said. Last year, Kaine workshopped the idea with then-Sen. Vance before he was tapped to be President Donald Trump's running mate. Kaine then connected with Sens. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Mississippi, Josh Hawley, R-Missouri, and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-New York, to introduce the bill this year. 'Bringing a child into the world is costly enough without piling on cost-share fees that saddle many mothers and families with debt,' Hyde-Smith said in a statement announcing the legislation. 'By relieving financial stresses associated with pregnancy and childbirth, hopefully more families will be encouraged to embrace the beautiful gift and responsibility of parenthood.' The House and Senate versions of the bill can unify the 'left and the right, the 'pro-choice' and the 'pro-life,'' Kaine said, adding that the measures could fare well in the nation's legislative branch and end up on Trump's desk.
