Organic Mattress Deals

Organic mattresses are made without the harsh chemicals that can have a detrimental impact on the environment. Our Best Organic Mattresses guide has more details and recommendations, but here are a few of our favorites on sale.

Our top organic mattress pick meets the perfect criteria of “not too hard but not too soft.” After nearly two years of testing, our reviewer says there is no sagging. Avocado’s nontoxic mattress is made of organic latex, wool, and cotton. You can read more about it in our Mattress Buying Guide.

The Birch Luxe is one of our favorite organic mattresses and you’ll find it in our Best Mattresses guide. Though mattresses go on sale quite often, this price beats what we saw during Cyber Monday. The deal includes two free Eco-Rest pillows. This medium-firm model is especially great for side sleepers, and the mattress is made with natural latex and wool.

This mattress is featured in our Best Organic Mattress Buying Guide as the best flippable pick. Most modern-day mattresses have just one side to sleep on. This mattress has a “plush” side and a “firm” side. The company says there’s an 18 percent difference between the two sides. We didn’t notice it that much, but in any case, it’s nice to be able to fully rotate your mattress. This model also has great edge support and a neutral sleeping temperature.

Turmerry Organic Mattress

This organic mattress is made mostly of latex, with a few layers of natural foam. That makes the bed less cumbersome to carry and move around than all-latex mattresses. You can configure the bed in several ways for customized firmness levels.

I tested this floppy, fantastic affordable organic mattress. It’s cheaper than many of its competitors. The bed is both supportive and bouncy, with rigid edges. And I like that there are handles on the side—the company says you shouldn’t use them to transport the bed, but the handles do give you something to grip onto when rearranging your room or when moving.

Tech and Household Deals

Victrola ReSpin Record Player

This little suitcase record player is comprised of 25 percent recycled plastic. We wrote an entire rave about the turntable, but suffice it to say it’s a fun totable gadget if you want to travel with your records and play them at a friend’s place (or the park). It’s lightweight and easy to store, and there’s Bluetooth support, so you can play tunes from your phone if you’ve already gone through your records.

The Nimble Champ is our favorite portable charger. It’s super lightweight, but it packs a lot of power in a small package. Nimble uses bioplastics and minimal packaging to reduce its environmental impact. That’s also why we included it in our guide to the Best Upcycled and Recycled Products. This model has enough juice to charge most smartphones two or three times.

Nimble’s wireless charger is one of our top picks. The surface is made of recycled silicone, which attracts dust and lint, and it also keeps your phone securely in place. The rest of the charger is made with postconsumer plastic and alloy. This bundle includes a 20-watt wall charger.

Seljak Earth Blanket

Unfortunately, this sale is a result of Seljak shutting down. That means the company will not accept any returns. But you can save money, while supplies last, on the entire Earth Blanket collection. We love these blankets because of their warm and fun designs and because they’re made completely out of recycled materials.

The Lo & Sons Nouvelle (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a recycled bag made from recycled nylon and polyester. It also uses nopal cactus instead of leather. It works dressed up or down, and there’s enough room for essentials like your phone, e-reader, and a random assortment of hair ties. (I can’t be the only one.)

Another one of our favorite recycled bags, this Targus is made from 20 recycled plastic water bottles. It arrives rolled up in a recycled plastic package. Unroll the package and place it in the laptop pocket to give the bag some more structure and protection.

Our favorite tote bag has a recycled nylon exterior. It has excellent weight distribution, and several inner pockets help you stay organized, including a dedicated spot for a 16-inch laptop. The top has a zip closure.

This bag is an honorable mention in our Best Laptop Backpack guide. It’s cavernous main compartment can zip shut, and it has a snap-closure fleece-lined outer pocket. Made of recycled nylon and polyester ripstop, the bag can be used as a tote or a backpack.

A smart thermostat helps can ensure you’re not wasting energy—or money. Your energy provider may sweeten this deal with a rebate. This isn’t the smartest thermostat Google makes, but you can still use the Google Home app to program a schedule to turn your heat down at night. The thermostat will also turn itself down when you leave, so you’re not wasting energy while you’re gone.

EcoFlow River 2

This is the most portable power station we’ve tested. Coming in at 17 pounds, with a large handle, it’s easy to move around. The battery has a 768-watt-hour capacity, and there are tons of ports for charging your gear, which makes the station great to have on hand for camping trips. It takes just over an hour to charge the station itself.

The RadRunner 2 for $1,299 ($100 off) is our favorite pick of the bunch, but every iteration is on sale right now. We’ve seen the price drop lower before, but these deals are worth checking out if you’re in the market. The RadRunner 2 is one of our favorite cargo ebikes.

The Niu KQi3 Max (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is an alternative to our favorite electric kick scooter. It’s an upgraded version of the less-expensive KQi3 Pro, which is also on sale for $650 ($150 off). We like the Pro a little more, though the Max is better for folks who live in particularly hilly areas. These scooters offer great range for the money, but they’re on the heavy side.

This is a solid deal on the Heybike Tyson (6/10, WIRED Review). The comfortable fat-tire model made our list of the Best Cheap Electric Bikes. It’s quite heavy, coming in at 77 pounds, but it has a powerful 750-watt motor plus nifty features like a plush seat and a fully loaded dashboard.

Klean Kanteen Insulated Bottle

The Klean Kanteen Classic Bottle is one of our favorite reusable water bottles, and it falls to $28 after entering the coupon code EARTH24. The coupon works on nearly everything, including the interchangeable caps if you want a straw or a spout instead of a twist-off lid.

This is our favorite menstrual cup. Menstrual cups are better for the planet than disposable tampons or pads, and this sale makes for a good time to try one out if you’ve been curious. The cup is thin and flexible, so it’s especially great for beginners.
