Recreate hotel luxury at home with the Westin Heavenly Bed, now 35% off in the Memorial Day mattress sales
The best luxury hotel mattresses often come with a premium price tag. However, now is your chance to recreate a 5-star staycation at home for less with 35% off the Westin Heavenly Bed at the Westin Store ahead of Memorial Day. That brings the price of a queen mattress to $1,621.75 from $2,495.
Westin's guests love the plush pillow-top innerspring, which has graced luxury hotels rooms since 1999. Its supreme comfort, support and pressure relief properties are all features you'll find in the best mattresses for all sleepers.
Still shopping around for a good deal? Visit our Memorial Day mattress sales page where we're tracking top deals on mattresses, pillows and much more. For now, though, let's find out more about the Westin Heavenly Bed...
Westin Heavenly Bed: twin was from $1,645 now from $1,069.25 at Westin StoreLike the best hybrid mattresses, the Westin Heavenly Bed is a 13.25" innerspring mattress crafted from individually wrapped pocketed coils and gel infused memory foam layers, delivering comfort and support for all sleeping styles. The hybrid design is similar to some of our best luxury mattress picks, which strike a balance between contouring plushness and responsive bounce. Available in five sizes, the Westin Heavenly Bed is now 35% off for Memorial Day, bringing the price of a twin mattress from $1,645 to $1,069.25 while a queen size is now priced at $1,621.75 (was $2,495). You can also add a box spring to your purchase in either a standard and low profile. While the Westin Heavenly Bed comes with a 10-year warranty, it does not offer a sleep trial.
We went hands-on with Westin Heavenly Bed and found it to be a medium-firm mattress rating 6 out of 10. While our reviewer thought the pressure relief was on par with the best mattresses for side sleepers, she recommends it for back sleeping in particular.
While the Westin Heavenly Bed isn't a dedicated cooling mattress, it's breathable and temperature-neutral and we didn't have any problems with overheating. We also found its motion isolation to be good, which makes it an ideal choice for couples, and its edge support was good but not super-firm; anyone over 250lbs might not find the edges supportive enough.
If you're planning on buying the Westin Heavenly Bed, you might also want to explore the wide range of bedding products offered by the hotelier — the Westin Hotel pillow is made from plush down-alternative fibers and suits back and stomach sleepers.

Costco Posts 6.8% Sales Growth in May, Slightly Slower Than April
Costco reported a 6.8% increase in sales for the month of May compared to May 2024. Comparable store sales rose less than analysts had expected, according to a note from JPMorgan analysts. The analysts said cooler than average weather in May could have slowed sales, while purchases rushed by tariffs likely peaked in March and Wholesale (COST) after the bell Wednesday said that its sales in May grew 6.8% year-over-year to $20.97 billion, slightly slower growth than the 7% that it saw in April compared to April 2024. The warehouse retailer's comparable store sales rose 4.1% in the U.S., 4.3% for the total company, and online sales grew 11.6% in May. The 5.5% comparable sales increase in the U.S., when excluding the impact of gas prices and foreign exchange rates, came in below the 6.4% analyst consensus, JPMorgan analysts wrote following the sales report. The analysts wrote that Costco's sales results are in line with some other retailers that mentioned in recent earnings reports that May sales were weaker than April or March, largely due to weather—including a cooler-than-normal Memorial Day weekend in parts of the country. Costco said it doesn't typically cite weather as a factor unless there is an extreme weather event, per the analysts. Any big purchases that consumers made ahead of schedule because of fears that tariffs would raise prices likely peaked in March and April, as executives said in last week's earnings call that they were seeing few tariff-motivated purchases at this point, according to the JPM analysts. The analysts said Costco's comparable sales growth could be pressured in the next few months as Costco laps the popular sales of its gold bars, which frequently sold out quickly when they were available. The retailer narrowly beat estimates in its fiscal third-quarter report, as other analysts have said Costco is well-positioned to navigate the tariff environment. Costco shares were little changed shortly ahead of markets opening, and are up nearly 15% since the start of the year but still just below record levels set in February.

Amazon Prime Day 2025: Everything you need to know, tips to get the best deals, and anticipated dates
It's officially June, which means it's almost time for Amazon Prime Day — that glorious, totally not-made-up retail holiday. Amazon hasn't officially announced the dates yet, but the event almost always happens in mid-July. So mark your calendars in pencil for now, and start thinking about the items on your wish-list. Prime Day always brings some of the lowest prices of the year, meaning this is definitely the time to seek out deals on the stuff you want. As always, we're here to help you find all the best deals — and make sure they're actually decent, not just price-adjusted wanna-bes. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the event, and I've tracked (and shopped) it since the beginning. So read on for some tips to help you max out your 2025 Prime Day savings. Related: Amazon Prime Day 2025 deals are coming in July: The best early deals to shop now and everything else we know Yahoo's Amazon Prime Day portal Prime Day 101 is pretty much the same as Shopping 101: Seek out the biggest percentage price drops before you pull the trigger. But what are those percentages based on? There's the list price, aka MSRP ("manufacturer's suggested retail price"), which is the default price set by the manufacturer — or the Amazon seller, which in many cases is not Amazon. And because those third-party sellers have complete control over the prices shown for any product, they can artificially inflate the list price in order to make the discounted price seem more substantial. Not every seller does this, of course, but it does happen. For example, there are a lot of no-brand robot vacuum cleaners available from Amazon. A common strategy there is for the seller to assign the product a very high list price, at least for a few weeks, then sell it for considerably less — making it seem like you're saving more than you are. Meanwhile, competing models are all priced around that same "sale" price, but seem less attractive by comparison. Amazon has attempted to mitigate this issue on some products by instead listing something it calls the "typical price." Per Amazon, that is "the median price paid on Amazon in the last 90 days, [excluding] prices paid by customers for the product during a limited time deal." It's a nice idea, but it doesn't seem to preclude some third-party sellers from pulling the same inflated discount game, even on name-brand products. Take this 16-inch Dell Inspiron laptop sold by "General Hardware Story." It has a list price from that vendor of a whopping $3,400. It was listed as "71% off" during the Memorial Day sale, when it sold for closer to $1,000. Sounds great until you investigate further. That $3,400 price is an illusion: A pair of on-screen offers — 50% off at checkout, 20% coupon — knocked it down to $1,020 just a day after the Memorial Day sale ended, meaning that supposed giant holiday discount was a mere $20! A little common sense is applicable here: If you're seeing something advertised as 70%, 80% or even 90% off, chances are good it was never really selling for that higher price to begin with. And if it was, it definitely wasn't worth it. So given that the posted discounts don't always line up with reality, how can you determine if a deal is really worth buying? That brings us to tip #2. Knowledge is power, and there's no better knowledge you can have during Prime Day than a product's complete price history. Thankfully, a couple of free tools let you pull back the curtain and see exactly that. Why is this so important? Two reasons. First, as discussed above, you can see if that deal is really a deal or if the discounted price is the "always" price. Second, you can eliminate that sense of urgency from your shopping, because if a product has been discounted like this before, chances are good it will be again. The tools I recommend for this: CamelCamelCamel (so named for the animal's humps, which go up and down — just like prices) and Keepa. Both will show you detailed price-history charts, including the lowest and highest prices on record. Now, the caveat here is that these price trackers will capture the same dramatic price fluctuations based on those sometimes-inflated list prices noted above. But for products with more honest price fluctuations, you can still save by waiting just a few days for a the discount cycle to repeat. A great example: Amazon-branded products like the Kindle, Fire TV Stick and Echo Show. Checking their price histories, I know that they go on sale with almost clockwork regularity (typically once per month). Granted, Prime Day may yield some of the year's lowest prices on those products, but often by only $5 or $10. If this isn't the best time for you to make a purchase, you can always wait for the next discount. To use these tools, you can either search for a product (or copy/paste an Amazon product link) on their respective sites, or install their desktop browser extensions, which make searches much faster and easier. Prefer to shop on your phone? Keepa has mobile apps for Android and iOS. If there's a product you've been eyeballing but don't want to have to keep checking to see if it's on sale, there's an easy, automated solution: Create a price-drop alert so you'll get notified if and when that product hits your desired amount. CamelCamelCamel and Keepa both offer this feature, a great secondary benefit to using them. Here's an example of what that looks like in the former, with Apple AirPods Pro 2 as my desired deal: Obviously this needn't be limited to Prime Day; I use price-drop alerts all the time. As long as you're not in a rush to buy whatever it is, this is the way to make sure you get exactly the discount you want. This may come as a shock, but there are other stores out there. Best Buy, Target, Walmart and other retailers often run competing sale events during Prime Day, matching and sometimes even beating Amazon's prices. Indeed, I think we're all a little hard-wired to believe that Amazon always has the best deals, but that's not always the case. Before you pull the trigger, especially on a large purchase, it's worth taking a minute or two to do some price-comparison shopping. And if I can hop onto my little soapbox for a moment, don't forget to check out local stores as well. Especially bookstores, which can offer a browsing experience and customer service unmatched by Amazon. Some even have loyalty programs or other discounts that might get you close to Amazon pricing. I'd be remiss if I didn't note that Yahoo will be monitoring and sharing all the best Prime Day deals in all the different categories: home, health, kitchen, tech and more. We have teams of experts (I mean it, literal experts!) scouring Amazon for the latest and greatest buys. So if you haven't already, bookmark Yahoo Shopping and Yahoo Tech as your jumping-off points for Prime Day 2025. Speaking of tech, this is a good time to mention that Prime Day usually yields some of the year's lowest prices on Amazon-branded devices: Kindle e-readers, Fire TVs and tablets, Echo smart speakers and screens, Ring doorbells and so on. If any of those are on your shopping list, it's a good idea to press pause until July. Although Amazon hasn't officially announced the dates for Prime Day 2025, the retailer has confirmed that the event will take place in July. Historically it happens during the second or third week of the month, though things could be different this year owing to a variety of factors (see below). Needless to say, we'll be watching for the official announcement and updating this story once we get it. My crystal ball is in storage, but it's a good bet this Prime Day might look a bit different from past ones. According to a 2024 AltIndex report, roughly 70% of all goods sold by Amazon come from China — and China is now subject to new tariffs. While things could change between now and July, it seems likely that prices will be higher on many, if not most, of these goods. Interestingly, some of Prime Day's biggest discounts tend to be on Amazon-branded products: Fire TVs and tablets, Kindle e-readers, Echo smart speakers and so on. If Amazon is now paying more to import these devices, will the discounts be less than in previous years? We'll have to wait and see. In recent years, Prime Day has spanned two full days, ending at midnight Pacific Time (3 a.m. ET) the second day. Once we get the confirmed start date and the duration, we'll know exactly when it's expected to end, too. Update May 27, 2025: We expanded the List Price tip to include a second example, and provide more context on how Amazon's "typical price" listing works.

Seeking solace, and finding hard truths, on California's Highway 395
As we drove north along Highway 395 — passing the salty remains of Owens Lake, the Museum of Western Film History, the geothermal plant outside Mammoth Lakes that supplies 24/7 clean energy to San Bernardino County — I felt certain we'd found the northernmost reaches of Southern California. It was Memorial Day weekend, and my wife and I were headed to a U.S. Forest Service campground in the White Mountains, 225 miles as the crow flies from downtown L.A.'s Union Station. If you drew a line on a map due west from our campsite, you'd cut through the Sierra Nevada and eventually hit San José. But to my mind, we were still in Southern California. For one thing, Southern California Edison supplied electricity here. For another, Los Angeles had sucked this place dry. In the early 1900s, agents secretly working for the city posed as farmers and ranchers, buying up land and water rights in the Owens Valley. Then Los Angeles built an aqueduct, diverting water from the Owens River to feed the city's growth. Owens Lake largely dried up. The city later extended the aqueduct north to Mono Lake. As a lifelong Angeleno, I felt compelled to see some of the results for myself. I had spent time in the Owens Valley, but never the Mono Basin. So we took a dirt road branching off the gorgeous June Lake Loop to stand atop an earthen dam built by L.A. in the 1930s. It impounds Rush Creek, the largest tributary bringing Sierra snowmelt to Mono Lake. As I looked out at Grant Lake Reservoir — beautiful in its own way, if totally unnatural — I realized I had been drinking this water my whole life. My feelings were similarly muddled when we arrived at Mono Lake. On the one hand, this was one of the coolest and weirdest places I'd ever seen. As we padded along a boardwalk toward the sandy southern shore, I was blown by the gleaming blue water, the snow-capped Sierra peaks and the tufa — my gosh, the tufa. Bizarre-looking rock towers made of calcium carbonate, like something from a dream. At the same time, much of the boardwalk ideally would have been underwater. Under a 1994 ruling by state officials, L.A. is supposed to try to limit its withdrawals from Mono Lake's tributaries, with a goal of restoring the lake to an elevation of 6,392 feet — healthier for the millions of migratory and nesting birds that depend on it for sustenance, and better for keeping down dust that degrades local air quality. Three decades later, the lake has never gotten close to its target level. L.A. continues to withdraw too much water, and the Mono Basin continues to suffer. Mayor Karen Bass said last year that the city would take less, but officials ultimately reneged, citing a dry winter. As we walked past a sign on the way to the southern shore marking 6,392 feet, I felt a little pang of guilt. Responsibility is a funny thing. When we got back from our camping trip, I read about a woman suing oil and gas companies over the tragic death of her mom, who died of overheating at age 65 during a historic heat wave that roasted the Pacific Northwest in 2021. The first-of-its-kind lawsuit claims wrongful death, alleging — accurately — that the companies spent years working to hide the climate crisis from the public. I'm neither a psychic nor a psychologist. But I'm guessing, based on more than a decade reporting on energy and climate change, that executives at the fossil fuel companies in question — including Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Phillips 66 and Shell — aren't suddenly feeling guilty for their role in boiling the planet. Same goes for the Trump administration — impossible to guilt. The World Meteorological Organization reported last week that Earth is highly likely to keep shattering temperature records in the next few years, driving deadlier heat waves, more destructive fires and fiercer droughts. That hasn't stopped President Trump and congressional Republicans from pressing forward with a budget bill that would obliterate support for renewable energy. So why was I, a climate journalist, feeling guilty over something I really had nothing to do with? Was it silly for me to bother taking responsibility when the people wrecking the planet were never going to do the same? I think the answers have something to do with the importance of honesty. As we sat at our campsite by a roaring fire — stoked by my wife, who's way better than me with open flames — I cracked open a book of speeches by President Theodore Roosevelt, delivered in 1903 on his first trip to California. He was on my mind because he'd originally established Inyo National Forest, where our spectacular campground was, to protect the lands and watershed where Los Angeles would build its Owens Valley aqueduct. 'You can pardon most anything in a man who will tell the truth,' Roosevelt said. 'If anyone lies, if he has the habit of untruthfulness, you cannot deal with him, because there is nothing to depend on.' 'The businessman or politician who does not tell the truth cheats; and for the cheat we should have no use in any walk of life,' he said. Naturally, I thought of Trump, whose political success is built on outrageous lies, from climate and election denial to insisting that Haitian immigrants eat their neighbors' cats. I also recalled a recent order from Interior Secretary Doug Burgum discouraging 'negative' depictions of U.S. history on signs at national parks and other public lands — a directive with the Orwellian title, 'Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.' Did that mean educational materials at Manzanar National Historic Site — which sits just off Highway 395 and is managed by the National Park Service — would soon be revamped, to avoid explaining how the U.S. government cruelly and needlessly imprisoned more than 10,000 Japanese Americans there during World War II? If a similar order were issued covering the Forest Service, which is overseen by a different federal agency, would the Mono Lake visitor center take down its thoughtful signs explaining the history of the Los Angeles water grab? Would the Forest Service alter a sign at the nearby Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest detailing the possible impacts of global warming, considering that the U.S. is the largest historical emitter of heat-trapping pollution? Only time will tell. But Teddy Roosevelt was right. So long as Trump and his allies keep lying — pretending that oil and gas aren't cooking the planet, that we don't need sound science, that Americans have only ever done good — they'll feel no guilt, no responsibility. Because they'll have nothing to take responsibility for. Accepting the facts means owning up to the hard ones. It's not just politicians who have trouble. Highway 395's Museum of Western Film History is mostly hagiography, a collection of props and artifacts that fails to unpack the settler colonialism behind the western films it glorifies. But I did learn that the original 'Star Wars' was one of many films to shoot footage in the Owens Valley. And the 'Star Wars' universe, as it happens, is all about fighting an empire that seeks to control people's homelands and histories — a message central to Season 2 of 'Andor,' now streaming on Disney+. 'I believe we are in crisis,' says Galactic Senator Mon Mothma, a leader of the brewing Rebellion. 'The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil.' Here's the truth: There's not enough water in Mono or Owens lake. It's hotter than it used to be. The sky is dark with wildfire smoke more often. The Sierra Nevada peaks frequently aren't as snowy. Again, the senator: 'When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.' In America, monsters are screaming. Find harbor in honesty, and perhaps the mountains.
