Oh, baby! This mattress protector comes in every size from crib up to California king. (Amazon)(Amazon)
A mattress protector is one of those things you never think about until you really need it. Then, you either thank your lucky stars you've got a good one or curse the fact that you never got around to buying one. If you've ever spilled your coffee while enjoying breakfast in bed or had your dog wake you up in the morning by getting sick at your feet (ew!), you know what I'm talking about. Now's the time to make your move: The highly rated Safe Rest Premium Mattress Protector is down to just $30 for a queen-size at Amazon.
This set comes in three colors: Get it in black or green for this price, or snag it in gray for a bit more.
If you're a fan of stinky cheese, you might want to add this to your odor-fighting arsenal.
If you spend lots of time in the kitchen, your feet deserve a cushy surface to stand on during all of that cooking (and dishwashing). This highly rated anti-fatigue mat is made from a comfy foam to help take some of the pressure off of your muscles and joints, and its nonslip bottom will stay put without sliding around. The waterproof material is also easy to wipe clean.
Sleep hot? These moisture-wicking sleep cushions are filled with a plush, down alternative (100% polyester) encased in a soft, breathable sateen cover, and its moisture-wicking properties help keep you cool and dry while you snooze.
"These pillows are great for proper head and neck alignment and plump up beautifully after opening from being vacuum sealed," raved one satisfied sleeper. "I’ve tried many different types of pillows through the years, which had to be plumped during the night … not anymore! Soft, but not too soft, and breathable."
Pretty up your garden with these No. 1 bestselling Fiskars pruning shears, on sale for $10. That's a price cut of over 50% and the lowest price we've seen in over a year.

Prefer neutrals? These earthier hues are just as stunning.
It's 'rare' when something as small as this gadget has such a large impact.
These cordless wonders will give your dining room an inviting ambiance without the risk of a pyro-disaster. They emit a soft glow that can be adjusted with a simple tap, and their minimal, sleek design instantly elevates any surface.
While they're ideal for adding some mood lighting to your table while hosting, they can also be used as reading lights on end tables, desks and nightstands, or even outdoors. (They're waterproof and have a sturdy base to help prevent them from tipping over.) When they start to run out of juice — a charge lasts anywhere from eight to 40 hours — they can be charged via USB-C, meaning you won't need to keep buying batteries.
Protect any mattress up to 18 inches thick with this add-on — it'll stand up even to an anxious, bladder-challenged Great Pyrenees, according to one shopper.
If you're one of those "iced coffee all year" caffeinators, meet your new favorite gadget. This canister might not look like much, but it can chill freshly brewed hot coffee in about a minute. How? Just keep it in your freezer so it stays nice and cold, then take it out when you're ready to cool down your coffee. Pour the hot java inside, swirl it around for 60 seconds and pour it over ice. It couldn't be easier, and this is the best price we've seen in months.
"This was super easy to use," raved a reviewer. "It's not just for coffee. I used it to chill all of my drinks: coffee, wine, soda, protein shakes, everything I could drink cold. It has definitely been great for traveling as well. Keeps my drinks super cold for hours."
All sizes of this mattress protector are on sale, but $30 for the queen is a pretty major steal, especially considering that this is the lowest it's been since May 2024. Even sans discount, one of these would pay for itself in peace of mind; with this deal, it's downright priceless. Be sure to apply the on-page coupon for the full markdown.
There's so much to love about this mattress protector. For starters, it's 100% waterproof, so it keeps spills, urine and sweat away to ensure your mattress stays in good shape. It's also vinyl-free and has a hypoallergenic cotton terry surface with a membrane back coating, so no squeaking when you move around in bed. It even blocks out allergens like dust mites and helps protect against bacterial growth.
The SafeRest has a fitted-sheet design that works on mattresses up to 18 inches deep. Choose from crib, twin, twin XL, full, queen, king and California king sizes for a fit that's just right for your mattress, or any other bed in the house.
This mattress protector has an army of loyal Amazon fans — more than 217,000 five-star ratings — and the testimonials are impressive.
"I have two big dogs and kids, and spills, among other things, have happened a couple of times ... these mattress protectors don't let anything through," said one child and pet parent "The terry cloth absorbs it and the under layer keeps it from going through, even after sitting for a little while."
"I have a puppy who likes to have accidents on the bed," echoed another fan. "This is the first one I bought, and it was great. Not a single drop got through to my mattress. I would be at work, she'd have an accident and I wouldn't be able to address it until hours later. Even hours after, the pee stains never seeped through to the mattress."
One repeat customer, who said they've had this for years, wrote, "I got this brand originally when I had a full-sized bed with a foam topper, and loved it so much that I got another one when I bought a queen-sized bed. It's very lightweight with what feels like a vinyl top to it. It's been a few years now, and the elastic has not worn out of either yet."
"It goes on just like a regular fitted sheet, and it fits over my mattress plus the 3-inch memory foam topper I have; very easy," said a fourth buyer. "The bottom layer is a waterproof material, and the top layer is cotton terry cloth fabric. It is comfortable, doesn't make crinkly noises when you move around in the bed at night and doesn't shift, no matter how you twist and turn."
A fifth reviewer shared, "When my wife was pregnant, her water broke on this bed — Niagara Falls level of water breaking — and it held up. Mattress was bone dry. Don't know how to give a better recommendation than that!" (We agree!)
Some shoppers warn that the mattress protector may make you feel a bit warm at night.
One four-star reviewer said it's "comfortable and noiseless" but added, "It does sleep a little warm, so I'm taking away one star. Despite what the advertising says about it being 'breathable,' if there's a plastic barrier that stops liquid, there's a barrier that keeps the heat in and stops air from circulating. That'll be true for any mattress protector. Nevertheless, it's been good so far."
"After sleeping with it on our bed for a couple nights, we realized it was waking us up multiple times because we were getting hot," noted another. "We have AC in our house, so it was definitely the mattress protector. It's been marketed as breathable, and I don't agree. If you don't mind the heat, then I think it would be fine!"
And if your creaky old mattress is due for an upgrade...
