New York Times13-02-2025
Check out our Deals page for more discounts on our favorite Wirecutter picks. February 2025
Presidents' Day sales offer the promise of deep discounts on mattresses, sheets, and pillows. But potential savings can extend beyond bedding, with retailers advertising clearance prices on clothing, electronics, furniture, and appliances.
While some sales are legit, many Presidents' Day markdowns don't live up to the hype. We track and evaluate prices year-round, so we hand-selected the very best deals on Wirecutter's expert-vetted picks—including exclusives at the best prices you can find on the internet, all to help you steer clear of bogus 'bargains' and refresh your home and wardrobe for the year ahead.
Connie Park/NYT Wirecutter
Our longtime top hybrid mattress pick is a favorite of stomach-, back-, and side-sleepers. Its hybrid tech combines the best components of memory foam and spring mattresses, with over 1,000 springs and four layers of CertiPUR-US-certified memory foam.
Other things to know: 11 inches thick. 10-year warranty. 100-night trial, but you can only return one time. Use code WIRECUTTER to get the queen size for $1,100 and the king and Cal king sizes for $1,300. Comes with a free set of two pillows and sheet set—nice add-ons, but we haven't tested them.

Offering medium firmness with some motion isolation, this springier hybrid's 3,000-plus pocketed coils keep you buoyant as its quilted top loosely cradles your body. The fluffy and luxurious feel—one tester said they "felt like royalty"—is ideal for back- and side-sleepers.
Other things to know: Not ultra-soft or plush. Not ideal for stomach-sleepers. 10-year warranty. 100-night trial, but you can only return one time. Use code WIRECUTTER to get the queen size for $1,480 and the king and Cal king sizes for $1,740. Comes with a free set of two pillows and sheet set—a nice add-on, but we haven't tested them.
Read more: The Best Hybrid Mattresses Saatva Classic Mattress (queen, luxury firm)
If you prefer to nestle into your mattress, as opposed to feeling engulfed, this is the one for you. Featuring classic innerspring bounce paired with a cushy but understated three-inch Euro top, the most affordable innerspring mattress we've found still looks and feels luxurious. $1650 $1250 from Saatva
Other things to know: Doesn't have the best motion isolation. Comes in thicknesses of 11½ and 14½ inches. Lifetime warranty, and you have 365 nights to try it. We recommend the luxury firm comfort level. Deal price is for the queen size, but all sizes except twin are discounted.
Read more: The Best Innerspring Mattresses WinkBed (luxury firm, queen)
A quilted cover, pocketed coils, and foamy top give this bed a pleasingly hefty hybrid feel. Billowy yet substantial, it was a crowd-pleaser during our testing. $1800 $1345 from WinkBeds
Use promo code WCPD25 (queen)
Other things to know: Works for back- and stomach-sleepers, and side-sleepers who rotate positions frequently—or those who simply prefer a firmer mattress. Deal price is for the luxury firm mattress in the queen size, but all sizes are discounted with code WCPD25.
Read more: The Best Innerspring Mattresses Novilla Bliss Memory Foam Mattress (queen)
If you prefer a classic memory-foam sink, you'll appreciate the body-conforming top and cushioned-yet-supportive feel of this medium-firm mattress. It offers great motion isolation and solid edge support, with a Tempur-Pedic–like feel without a Tempur-Pedic price tag.
Other things to know: Shifting positions can take more effort. Its foam densities are just okay. Not especially soft. Has a plain, sock-style cover, and lacks handles. 100-night free trial. 10-year warranty. Deal price is for the 12-inch-thick queen size mattress; use promo code PRESIDENTS25.
Read more: The Best Cheap Mattresses (Under $500) Brooklyn Bedding 3″ Talalay Latex Topper (queen)

Use promo code WIRECUTTER50 (queen)
Other things to know: Squishy, jiggly feel can be polarizing. Like all latex bedding, it's expensive; less so on sale. Distinctive latex odor takes a little while to dissipate. Lacks corner straps, and may shift. Three-year warranty. Use code WIRECUTTER50 to get the deal price for the queen size.

Perfect for chilly nights, this high-quality down comforter features baffle box construction with 700-fill-power duck down so you stay toasty without overheating. Its lightweight design also prevents it from sliding off the bed and helps keep its loft, even after being in storage. $380 $290 from Brooklinen
Use promo code WCCOMFORTER (full/queen)
Other things to know: The down does leak over time, but it leaked less overall than most comforters we've tested. One-year return policy. Two-year warranty. Deal price is for the all-season weight in the full/queen size, but code WCCOMFORTER works for all sizes (just be sure to remove any existing codes first). The street price has risen recently, so deal prices have risen as well, and we're unlikely to see lower.
Read more: The Best Comforters Nest Bedding Easy Breather Pillow (standard)
A long-time favorite of our experts and readers, this pillow's moldable, customizable shredded-foam filling provides firm, comfortable support for back- and side-sleepers. And it doesn't have a lingering chemical smell like some other shredded-foam pillows we've tried. $90 $68 from Nest Bedding

To top it all off, it also has the most comprehensive lifetime guarantee we've seen. $200 $120 from Garnet Hill
Use promo code WCPILLOW (standard, firm)
Other things to know: The most expensive of our picks. A couple testers found this pillow to be too lofty. Lifetime guarantee—the most comprehensive of any warranty we found. Deal price is for the firm pillow in the standard size, but all options are discounted with code WCPILLOW.
Read more: The Best Bed Pillows Brooklinen Classic Duvet Cover (full/queen)
Soft, comfortable percale fabric gives this duvet cover a luxurious hotel bedding feel, without the luxury hotel price. It's one of the least expensive covers we've tried and offers the most stylish and interesting variety of prints we've seen. $155 $131 from Brooklinen
Use promo code WC27 (full/queen)
Other things to know: Can get a bit wrinkled. After years of long-term testing, we're still impressed with this cover's overall construction. Street price has risen in the past year. Deal price is for the full/queen size, but code WC27 works on all sizes.
Read more: Duvet Covers We Love Cultiver Linen Duvet Cover (queen)
By far the softest linen we've tested, the breathable rustic texture of this duvet cover adds a pleasantly rumpled look to any bed. Its strong, neat stitching holds up in the wash, and we've experienced no pilling, thinning, or construction breakdowns. $280 $216 from Cultiver
Use promo code WCSLEEP (queen)
Other things to know: Swatches are available if you're unsure of color or texture. Deal price is for the queen size, but all sizes are discounted with code WCSLEEP. Street price has risen in recent months, but the percentage off is better than previous deals.

Use promo code WCSLEEP43 (full/queen)

Read more: The Best Blankets The Company Store Company Cotton Voile Quilt (full/queen)
Made from lightweight cotton voile fabric for an airy, bouncy feel, this comforting quilt is cozy and durable enough to wrap yourself up in all year. It's also an incredible value for the quality—by far, the best quilt we've tested that's under $200.
Other things to know: Crevices are a lint magnet. Machine washable. 30-day return policy includes washed and used items, but there's a $2.95 return shipping fee. Use code WCSLEEP to get the deal price for the full/queen size.
Read more: The Best Quilts Brooklinen Classic Percale Core Sheet Set (queen)

Use promo code WCSLEEP (queen)
Other things to know: Like any linen sheets, these wrinkle very easily. More limited sizing than other brands. No warranty, and a pretty standard 30-day return policy. Limited colors. Deal price is for the queen size, but all sizes are 23% off with code WCSLEEP. Street price has risen in recent months, but the percentage off is better than previous deals.
Read more: The Best Linen Sheets Lilysilk 25 Momme Oxford Envelope Luxury Pillowcase (standard size, set of two)
Our sleep experts consider these silk pillowcases to be a holy-grail helper for curly or potentially frizzy locks—compared with cotton, silk absorbs less product and creates less friction. The cases feel decadently lustrous and weighty right out of the box, but our testers liked them even more after the first wash.
Other things to know: The 25-momme count indicates a good weight of silk, while the 6A rating indicates a good strand length. Add two standard-size pillowcases to cart and use code WIRECUTTER1 to get the $88 deal price. Or, get two queen-size pillowcases for $103 with code WIRECUTTER2, or two king-size pillowcases for $116 with code WIRECUTTER3.

Michael Murtaugh/NYT Wirecutter
The plushest, warmest, and thickest option we've ever tested, this towel gives a luxury hotel experience from the comfort of your own bathroom. It's available in a wider variety of colors than any other we've found, and it also holds up for years and feels fuller and more plush with each wash. $44 $32 from Frontgate
Other things to know: If you prefer thinner towels, this isn't the pick for you. Bulkier to store and wash. Use code WCFEB25 to get deal price and free shipping (remove any existing discount code to apply this one for a better price).
Read more: The Best Bath Towels Onsen Bath Towels (two-piece set and six-piece bundle)
Not only are these waffle knit towels softer and smoother than any terry option we've tested, but they dry faster, too. They're lightweight and durable, with an upscale, minimalist aesthetic that will complement nearly any bathroom decor.
Other things to know: Since waffle weaves are stretchier, they can look a little misshapen after a while. They're also more prone to snags. Relatively expensive, but a fraction of the price of similar lattice towels imported from Japan. Texture might not be for everyone. Use code WCSWSET to get the deal price for the two-towel set. Use code WCSWBUNDLE to get the deal price for the six-piece set of two bath towels, two hand towels, and two face towels.
Read more: The Best Bath Towel Loftie Alarm Clock
If you prefer a gentler wake-up call, this smart-ish digital alarm clock is the least-jarring model we tested with its selection of ambient music and nature sounds. To help you relax and fall asleep, it's flush with thoughtful features, like Bluetooth speaker functionality, Spotify connectivity, and an adjustable night-light hidden at the base. $150 $112 from Loftie
Use promo code WCLOFTIECLOCK
Other things to know: Expensive for an alarm clock, though this deal helps. The numerical display is legible up close, but it's slightly dimmer when viewed off-center. Not the brightest, and there's no option to increase the display size for nearsighted sleepers. Use code WCLOFTIECLOCK to get the deal price for all colors except red.
Read more: The Best Alarm Clocks Loftie Lamp
Offering a modern twist on a classic silhouette, this chic bedside lamp boasts seemingly endless single and gradient color combinations. It can also double as a sunrise alarm clock and schedule bedtime reminders.
Other things to know: App can be a little clunky. You can get similar features for cheaper using a smart bulb with most lamps. 60-day return policy, but there's an $8 shipping and 10% restocking fee on returns. One-year warranty. Use code WCLOFTIELAMP to get the deal price for the white color.
Read more: Our Favorite Bedside Lamps Baloo Weighted Blanket (queen, 15 pounds)
Other things to know: The cotton batting prevents the weight from enveloping you as closely as blankets without such filler. Compared with knit-style options, it can feel less breathable and even hot. Lifetime guarantee on materials and workmanship. Deal price is for the full/queen size.
Read more: The Best Weighted Blankets Riley Four Layer Throw
When it's too sweltering to sleep under a thicker throw, this breezy cotton blanket just might do the trick. It's one of the lightest throws we recommend, with a pleasant crinkly texture that feels cool on the skin. $110 $76 from Riley Home
Other things to know: Listed size is 70 by 50 inches, but our test sample measured 78 by 58 inches out of the package. Use code WCSLEEP30 to get the deal price with free shipping.
Read more: The Best Throw Blankets Chasing Paper Wallpaper
With the most textile-like feel of the removable wallpapers we tested, this lightweight, fabric-based option is easy to install and restick. There are a decent range of styles and color palettes to choose from, and all come in the same crisp print quality with a tactile, woven finish.
Other things to know: Adhesive is quite sticky and material is quite thin, so it can get floppy and increase the risk of the panel sticking to itself. Lighter-colored wallpapers may appear more muted when installed on dark-colored walls. More limited selection. No returns; exchanges 'for any items that are not completely satisfactory' within 14 days. Use codes WIRECUTTER20 and FREESHIP to get 20% off your purchase, plus free shipping. Example deal pricing is for the Cleo Stripe Vertical wallpaper (2 x 12 feet, peel and stick).
Read more: The Best Removable Wallpapers Revival Rugs
Made of 100% organic-cotton, these quality flatweave rugs come in neutral and geometric patterns and can be machine-washed and hung to dry. Pro tip: We recommend opting for the premium rug pad with your purchase to make it softer underfoot and keep it in place. $189 $142 from Revival
Use promo code WCTIDY25 for 25% off
Other things to know: Best for dining rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and kids' rooms. We originally stopped recommending this rug as a pick due to availability issues, but some stock is still available. A nice opportunity to save 25% on Revival washable rugs in two different styles and a couple color options. Use code WCTIDY25; deal price will vary depending on your selection.
Read more: The Best Area Rugs Nearly Natural 54" Artificial Silk Fiddle Leaf Tree
Putting the 'faux' in 'fauxliage,' this artificial tree is just full and detailed enough to resemble the waxy look of a real plant. Much like real fiddle leaves, the tops have a shiny finish that makes them look realistic from as little as a foot away—especially with light streaming through them. $50 $36 from Home Depot
Other things to know: The underside of the leaves look completely flat and artificial. 'Real touch' claim seems to refer to the 'real' feel of a child's inflatable raft, rather than that of a tropical leaf. Likely made of plastic and polyester, not silk. Free shipping.
Read more: Fake Plastic Trees and Artificial Plants We Don't Hate Roborock Q5 Max+ Robot Vacuum
This quiet, speedy robovac is equipped with lidar and sensors to avoid hurdles, allowing it to course-correct faster and more accurately than others. As a result, it cleans better than any others we tested at its price, with a self-emptying bin that actually works.
Other things to know: User-friendly app stores up to four maps and allows for spot-cleaning. The charging station empties debris into a disposable bag. Like almost all bots we tested, it struggles with debris near thresholds and baseboards. Standard one-year warranty, but few replacement parts. Use code RRSAP20241122045238IGQUD.
Read more: The Best Robot Vacuums Fancii Vera + Lara Lighted Makeup Mirror
The perfect addition to any vanity, this mirror delivers a superb blend of functionality and looks, and has a long-lasting rechargeable battery to boot. It's highly adjustable, offering three dimmable light temperatures, two magnification views, and both a standard reflection and a magnifying attachment. $129 $103 from fancii
Other things to know: It's not cheap (even on sale). Doesn't come with a wall charger, just a cable, but it's compatible with most USB-A wall chargers. Requires some assembly. Shuts off automatically after 30 minutes. Deal price reflects in cart; some finishes are out of stock.
Read more: The Best Lighted Makeup Mirrors Vornado Silver Swan Vintage Fan (Brushed Nickel)
If looking cool is as important to you as staying cool, this handsome metal fan is here to make a statement. It's even more powerful than our top pick, with an oscillating base to help spread the breeze around. No squeaky fan noise, brooding detective, or fedora included—sorry! $150 $118 from Lumens
Other things to know: Sure, this may not be in-season, but this excellent fan doesn't drop this low very often, making it a great opportunity to save ahead of warm weather. More energy-intensive on its highest setting than our top pick, but ultimately won't add that much to your electric bill. Emits a sort of propeller-like whine on its highest setting. Use promo code SAVE10.
Read more: Powerful Fans Are Often Ugly. But This One Is Beautiful. Michael Murtaugh/NYT Wirecutter
For an effortlessly chic look, this slinky robe features a generous and flattering fit with in-seam pockets and three-quarter-length sleeves. The buttery-soft fabric feels cool on the skin, like a luxe T-shirt, and clings to curves more than more-structured robes. $75 $58 from Natori
Use promo code WIRECUTTER
Other things to know: May be too formfitting for some. We found slight shrinkage after washing (3.85%), but that didn't affect the coverage or the generous fit. Comes in sizes XS to 3X. Use code WIRECUTTER to get the deal price in dark gray or red.
Read more: The Best Robes Brooklinen Dreamweave Waffle Robe
Terry cloth can be a bit stifling if you prefer steaming hot showers. This robe has a soft, spongy honeycomb texture that feels thick and warm but is lightweight and quick-drying. Perfect for an at-home spa day, it's the most luxurious and generously sized robe we tested. $112 $94 from Brooklinen
Other things to know: Not as plush as terry cloth. Extra-long sleeves can be rolled up or hemmed. Brooklinen phased out the previous version of this robe in late 2023; this pricier, updated design has a flat, kimono-style collar instead of a shawl collar. Use code WC27.
Read more: The Best Robes Eyebuydirect Blue Light Lens Glasses - 35% off + Free Shipping
Not only does Eyebuydirect offer both prescription and non-prescription blue-light-blocking eyewear, but it's also our only pick that carries two size options. The site has a huge selection of frames and glasses that are consistently high in quality, plus reliable customer service. $54 $35 from Eyebuydirect
Use promo code WIRECUTTER35LENS
Other things to know: Pricier than our other picks, but the quality is noticeably better. 14-day return policy. Eyebuydirect offers four tiers of blue-light-filtering lens enhancements starting at $23, but the basic lenses have an orangey cast. Pair with the frames of your choice—we like the Escape and Botanist styles—and get 35% off nearly all lenses plus free shipping (some exclusions apply) with code WIRECUTTER35LENS.
Read more: The Best Blue-Light Blocking Glasses Patagonia Down Sweater Vest
On cold and windy days, this is the vest we reach for. Not only is it stylish and secure enough to wear around town or on outdoor adventures, but it's also one of the most durable and warm vests we tested. The recycled-polyester shell holds up well against wind and water, and the 800-fill-power down and multitude of baffles provide ample insulation.
Like the women's style, this warm vest features 800-fill-power down and a tough, recycled ripstop nylon shell. It also has a drawcord hem at the hips to create a secure fit, which makes it great for layering over or under fleeces and jackets.
Other things to know: Doesn't fit in its own pocket like some of the other vests we tested, but packs down small enough. Comes in women's sizes XXS-XXL and select men's sizes XS-XXL, which isn't as expansive a size range as we'd like. The women's style is on sale in green and mauve, and the men's style is on sale in green or yellow.
Read more: The Best Insulated Vest Arc'teryx Thorium Hoody
This durable coat is filled with 750-fill-power goose down, as well as synthetic insulation in areas that tend to see the most rain in a downpour (namely the cuffs, shoulders, and hood). This makes it warm enough that you won't need extra layers, and it's not too puffy, with a slightly fitted waist, gently curved hem, and silhouette that falls right at the hip. $500 $401 from REI
Like the women's style, this jacket is warm and durable enough to last for years. It's filled with 750-fill-power goose down and has synthetic insulation in the cuffs, shoulders, and hood, offering the best of both worlds. $500 $401 from REI
Other things to know: Can look droopy if you stuff the pockets. The shell material can get crinkly over the course of a season and the hood looks a little goofy, but these are minor complaints. Stuff sack compresses it down to roughly the size of a Chipotle burrito. Comes in women's sizes XXS-XXL and men's sizes XS-XXL. The women's style is on sale in tan and black, with more size availability in tan. The men's style is on sale in blue and black, with more size availability in blue.

Other things to know: The water tank was the hardest to fill in our tests, with measurements that are nearly impossible to read. Three-year warranty, the longest of any model we tested. Deal on black stainless steel, use code PREZ20.
Read more: The Best Cheap Coffee Maker Tramontina Professional 12-Inch Restaurant Fry Pan
With a classic flared-lip shape, slick and durable nonstick coating, and excellent heat distribution, this quality frying pan will be a staple in your kitchen for years to come. Our testers also appreciated its excellent maneuverability and comfortable handle. Plus, it's oven-safe up to 400 degrees.
Other things to know: Not compatible with induction cooktops. The rivets that secure the handle to the pan don't have a nonstick coating. Costco membership required; price includes shipping.
Read more: The Best Nonstick Pan
This smart, streamlined fridge offers plenty of storage in a super-sleek package. Equipped with three ice makers, it makes four kinds of ice and is loaded with tons of extra bells and whistles, like a touch-activated translucent panel and a door-in-door compartment.
Other things to know: Energy Star–certified. Comes with standard one-year warranty with an additional five years for parts (but not labor) on compressor and cooling components. Price reflects in cart with Home Depot membership (free to join) and includes delivery fee.
Read more: The Best French Door Refrigerators Electrolux ELFW7637A Washing Machine and Electrolux ELFE7637AT Dryer
Boasting a wider variety of settings than our other washer picks, this high-performing front-loader removes stains very well, especially if you have a larger household with a range of fabric-care needs. It's equally gentle on clothes as our top pick, and has a more user-friendly control panel.
To give your threads a little extra TLC, this electric dryer is designed to handle fabric carefully and prevent overheating. It tackles heavy loads effectively, consistently predicting accurate dry times and delivering dry laundry every time in our tests. Plus, it's stackable with the matching washing machine.
Other things to know: Not Wi-Fi connected. The washer's cycles run long. Electrolux's customer service has a so-so reputation. Energy Star-certified. Two-year warranty. Only on sale in white. Add both the washer and dryer to your cart to get the best price. Prices above includes delivery, installation, basic parts, and old appliance haul-away.

Other things to know: 19 watts tested input via USB-C PD to charge, 18 watts output, with a 10,0000 mAh. Doesn't come with a wall charger, or any other accessories. One of the priciest models we tested. Use code WC45 to get the deal price.
Read more: The Best Portable Chargers and Power Banks for Phones and Tablets Hisense U7N Series LCD/LED TV (55-Inch)
Other things to know: Brightness and black-level performance isn't as good as our top pick's. As with most LCD TVs, not the best horizontal viewing angles. Looks better with 4K HDR video than it does with lower-resolution sources. We disliked the flimsy stand design. Deal price is for the 55-inch size.
Read more: The Best LCD/LED TV Sony A95L Series OLED TV (55-Inch)
If you love cinematic accuracy and want the absolute best-looking TV you can buy, this model's truly excellent performance is tough to beat—especially when it's on sale. Compared to other OLED TVs, it boasts an overall better, cleaner image quality, with better video processing, color accuracy, and upscaling of non-4K content.
Other things to know: Good built-in speakers, although could still benefit from a soundbar or surround system. Higher input lag and fewer HDMI 2.1 inputs than our top pick. Sony's menu software and UI can be sluggish. Deal price is for the 55-inch size with code PREZ20.
Read more: The Best OLED TV Soundcore Sleep A20 Earbuds
Get better ZZZs by blocking and masking sounds as you snooze with these sleep headphones, which have a long battery life of 10 hours streaming or 14 hours when using pre-loaded sounds. They're especially customizable, with three different sizes of wings and seven sets of ear tips for comfort, and also offer Bluetooth connectivity.
Other things to know: The built-in alarm lacks the ability to snooze. No microphones for taking calls. These earbuds can track your sleep, but the data may not be as in-depth as that of formal sleep-tracking devices. The charging case provides around five full charges. Use code PREZ20.

Ray Dalio's Strategic Moves: Exiting Alibaba Group Holding Ltd with a -3.47% Impact

Exploring the Latest 13F Filing of Bridgewater Associates Ray Dalio (Trades, Portfolio) recently submitted the 13F filing for the second quarter of 2025, providing insights into his investment moves during this period. Ray Dalio (Trades, Portfolio) is the Founder, Co-Chairman, and Co-Chief Investment Officer of Bridgewater Associates. The guru started Bridgewater out of his two-bedroom apartment in New York in 1975. Under his leadership, the firm has grown into the fifth most important private company in the US according to Fortune Magazine. For his and Bridgewater's industry-changing innovations as well as his work advising policymakers around the world, Ray has been called the Steve Jobs of Investing by aiCIO Magazine and Wired Magazine, and named one of the 100 Most Influential People by TIME Magazine. Dalio is also the author of The New York Times #1 Bestseller "Principles," which outlines his work and life principles, the foundation of Bridgewater's distinctive culture and the cornerstone of his and Bridgewaters success. Ray and Bridgewater also recently published "Principles for Navigating Big Debt Crises," the first public dissemination of their research on these economic events, which enabled them to anticipate the 2008 Financial Crisis. Dalio built Bridgewater using a principled-based approach, applying standard ways to deal with situations that occur over and over. With the goal of creating an idea meritocracy, he wrote a set of principles that became the framework for the firm's management philosophy. Chief among them is employing radical truth and radical transparency encouraging open and honest dialogue and allowing the best thinking to prevail. His principles were captured in a TED Talk and published in a bestselling book in 2017. As a global macro-investment manager, Bridgewater takes a diversified approach spanning more than 150 different markets. With deep expertise in portfolio construction and risk management, the firm develops insights and design strategies to deliver value to its clients through any economic environment. Warning!
