Emma Mattress Review: Stunning Comfort at a Great Price!

by
Emma Mattress

The Emma Mattress is an all foam mattress that comes shipped in a box. The Emma mattress is made in Derby, England and was recently named a Best Buy by Which? magazine. The Emma is not just a typical 3 layers foam mattress. Instead, they incorporate individual pocket coils between the layers of foam for a more adaptive feel.

Overview of the Emma Mattress

Here’s a video of me on the Emma highlighting some of its features. This mattress retails at 649 pounds for a king size. According to their website, the mattress will be delivered to your home in about 3-5 business days. It comes compressed in a box which means easy transport to your house and into your room.

The Emma also comes with a 100 night trial period where you can try it out in the comfort of your own home and if you don’t like it returns are free.

Construction of the Emma Mattress

Inside of Emma Mattress

Below are some of the construction highlights of the Emma mattress as listed on their website.

Cover
The top cover consists of special climate fiber that regulates humidity. At the same time, it is so elastic that it fits the core of your mattress, perfectly.

Top Layer
The Airgocell® foam provides you with ideal comfort thanks to exceptional point-elasticity that allows one area to compress without affecting the rest of the mattress. In addition, Emma’s open-pored highly breathable material won’t make you sweat.

Coil Layer
Up to 2000 individual pocket springs optimised to balance out pressure disparities and provide the precise support your body needs.

The visco-elastic memory foam that rests within the intermediate layer distributes pressure optimally and adapts to your body’s unique contours. The material is a modern innovation that keeps you comfortable in any sleep position.

Our cold foam supports you where it matters. The firm bottom layer provides the necessary counter pressure whatever your sleeping position is and offers pressure relieving support for your lower back.

The dark gray side cover ensures optimal air circulation, gives the Emma mattress a stylish look and provides traction thanks to the practical anti-slip elements at the bottom.

Here’s another shot of the inside of the Emma.

Emma Mattress Layers

My Emma Mattress Findings

Here’s a peek inside the Emma mattress. Notice how each layer reacts.

 

Being an all foam mattress. The Emma handles motion disturbances very well. Here’s a video that shows how much the mattress isolations motion. For this video I used a couple bowling balls.

 

This mattress sinks a bit on the top layer but you get good support from the layers underneath. Here’s a photo that shows how much my bowling ball sinks on the Emma.

As an added touch this mattress comes with stitched handles on each side to make it easy to rotate or move.

What I think really sets the Emma apart from the other online mattress companies in England is that this mattress comes with a  coil system. This gives the mattress just a bit more bounce without sacrificing conforming. It also adds a bit more breathibility.  Below is a picture of the coil system. These are small coils that provide extra contouring.

Emma Mattress Micro Coils

My Emma Recommendation

I found the Emma to be a bit firmer than the Leesa and about the same firmness of the Eve mattress. These are the other two online brands I have reviewed that are available for purchase in England. What I especially like about the Emma is that you get a more complex construction with the added coil system. With the 100 night guarantee you also have nothing to lose by trying it out. And, at this price point it is a great buy!

SpineAlign Mattress Review

by
Spine Align Mattress

Spine Align is a company founded by Dr. Jason Loth, a sports chiropractor with over 17 years of experience. With his background, he developed a unique pillow called the Spine Align Pillow which provides optimal spine support for any sleeping position. Recently, Spine Align launched 3 new mattresses all made in the USA. I received the 13.5″ Deep Sleep Hybrid Mattress free for review which is the plushest of the 3 offerings.

Overview of the Spine Align Mattress

Although this mattress is over 13 inches deep and has a spring system, it still comes roll-packed in a box and will ship to your door. Here’s a picture of it taken out of the box but still in the packaging.

As you can imagine it takes a lot of force to compress and wrap this mattress. Once you open it though, it comes to life quickly. You can hear air being sucked into the mattress as you cut through the plastic. Here’s what it looks like after opening.

spine align opened

Here’s a video overview of the mattress and what sets it apart. As you can see it is a thick mattress with layers of high quality material throughout.

How Much Does the Spine Align Mattress Cost?

[table id=37 /]

Construction of the Deep Sleep Hybrid

Below are the construction details of the mattress as listed on their website. This mattress is somewhat similar in construction to other hybrids on the market but what sets it apart is that the top layers are more responsive and breathable while still giving you a cozy feeling.

1.5″ OF ARCTICPHASE™ GEL-INFUSED FOAM


Gives you both the soft comfort and the responsive support you’re looking for which is where most memory foams fail. This amazing hyper-elastic foam also promotes cooling because nobody wants to sleep hot, and has antibacterial properties for a more comfortable and healthy sleeping environment.

1.5″ OF SERENE™ FOAM


We chose this unique foam because it actually gives greater support, has greater cooling properties, and relieves pressure points more effectively than traditional memory foam. In other words, Serene™ foam helps to cradle and comfort your body to give you exceptional support that’s needed for correct spinal alignment.

1.5″ OF PRIMETRA™ FOAM


Our PrimeTRA™ foam acts as a transitional layer of high-density foam, providing greater strength and durability to our individually pocketed coil system.

8″ OF  MAX ENGINEERED POCKETED COILS


For added support. We have included a full 8 inches of individually pocketed coils, increasing responsiveness to movement while isolating your movement to minimize sleep disturbance. You also get the added benefit of greater edge support that many mattresses don’t offer.

1″ OF HD SUPPORTIVE BASE FOAM


Long-lasting and durable compacted foam, giving the mattress a solid and durable foundation.

My Spine Align Mattress Findings

The 13.5″ Deep Sleep model is the plushest of the 3 mattress offerings from Spine Align. Here’s a picture of my 14 lb. bowling ball sinking into the mattress. It has a pillow top feel without actually having a pillow top.

Spine Align Sinkage
Here’s a view from the side to contouring and hug. The spring system provides good edge support so you won’t feel like rolling off the side.

Spine Align Contouring

This video demonstrates motion transfer on the mattress. Aside from the pocket coil system, the top layer of serene foam provides a little extra bounce which basically makes this mattress feel like a traditional mattress even though there are layers of foam.

This mattress has extra details such as handles on two sides to make rotating or transporting the mattress super easy.

spine align handles

My Spine Align Deep Sleep Recommendation

The Spine Align Deep Sleep Hybrid is an excellent choice for side sleepers looking for superior contouring without getting too hot. Spine Align incorporates next-gen foams are more breathable and resilient. This mattress was developed with the expertise of a chiropractor that understands the importance of spinal alignment and I think he nailed it with this mattress. For side sleepers, it hits the mark where I didn’t feel like my hips sank too much but my shoulders weren’t sore either.

Like most online mattress brands, this mattress comes with a 100 night trial with a free return so there’s certainly no risk in trying.

Silk Comforter Review: Stunning Comfort for Every Season

by
Silk Comforter

Benefits of a Silk Comforter

Before we get into the Nest silk comforter review, let’s go over the biggest benefits of a silk comforter. If you have never owned a silk comforter, you are in for a totally different sleep experience. Here’s a few things you can expect. 

  1. Silk Comforters drape your body closely and eliminate any air gaps giving you a more consistent temperature across your body and throughout the night. 
  2. Silk comforters are better than cotton, wool and even down at regulating temperature, you won’t get too hot or too cold meaning you will stay asleep longer and less prone to changing positions at night. 
  3. Silk comforters are thinner than a typical down comforter which means they are lighter but work better than a down comforter. 
  4. You can use a silk comforter in a warm or cold environment. Either way they will feel great. 
  5. It’s hard to beat a silk comforter when it comes to durability. This could easily be the last comforter you ever buy if you take care of it. 

The Nest Silk Cloud Comforter

Nest Silk Cloud Comforter

I recently received a silk comforter from Nest Bedding for review.  Let’s just start out by saying you can go crazy with silk. Frette sells their Villa Silk Duvet Filler for $3,100 in a king, and I’m sure it’s amazing but you don’t need to break the bank to get the benefits of silk. The Nest silk comforter sells for $499 in a king/cal king.

Even if you have a queen size bed, I recommend going with the king size since it will cover more of your bed and you won’t have to fight your partner for bedding at night. 

When you order through Nest, you package will arrive in a nondescript box and inside it will be wrapped in plastic. 

Nest Silk Comforter Packaging

The comforter itself is also wrapped in plastic just in your package gets wet al0ng the way. You also get a nice cloth bag to store the comforter when not in use. 

Nest Comforter

Once opened you can start using it right away, there’s not harmful smells and it feels great right out of the box. I do recommend a duvet cover to keep it clean though. I recommend a bamboo or Tencel duvet and sheet set to further help regulate temperature and keep you cool. 

As you can see, this duvet is fairly thin compared to 

Most other silk comforters sold online have a minimal amount of filling, but not ours. Our Mulberry silk comforter fill amount is 200gsm/ 2.0 Kg. We found after extensive research and testing, that 200gsm is the perfect fill amount to make this comforter best for all seasons.

The sleep trial is the best way to test out a new bed. You can try it for a few nights and see if it’s comfortable for you. If you’re not happy with it, you can return it. This is the best way to make sure you’re getting the bed that’s right for you.

  •  

How do you choose the right size bed for you?

Step 1: Determine the dimensions of the room.

To ensure a comfortable fit, the room size should be a minimum of 10 x 12 feet. If the room size is not large enough for a California king or standard king mattress, a queen size mattress may be a better option. A queen size bed still offers plenty of sleeping space but takes up less floor space than larger mattresses. Before purchasing a bigger bed, take accurate measurements of your bedroom to avoid making it feel cramped.

Step 2: Consider the type of mattress you want.

When selecting a mattress, you’ll want to consider your sleeping position, as well as the firmness and construction of the mattress. There are different types of mattresses designed for specific sleeping positions. If you have back pain, you’ll want a mattress that is medium-firm or firm.

Step 3: Think about who will be using the bed.

The size of your bed should be based on the size of your room and who will be using the bed. If you have a small room, you may want to consider a twin or full size bed. If you have a large room, you may want to consider a queen or king size bed. If you are buying a bed for yourself, make sure to measure yourself and your sleeping space before making a purchase. If you are buying a bed for someone else, make sure to take into consideration their height, width, and weight when choosing a size.

Step 4: Choose a size that fits your budget.

If you have a tight budget, you may want to consider financing a new mattress. This will allow you to sleep better now, but pay over time. When choosing a size, it is important to consider your room size and how much space you’ll have to move around. It is also recommended to leave about two feet of space on either side of the mattress. Upgrading to a larger bed may require upgrading your bed frame and replacing your sheets and blankets. If you’re looking for the biggest bed available, be prepared to spend more money on accessories.

Step 5: Consider your furniture.

In order to measure for bed size and furniture placement, you will need a measuring tape. First, check how much space the mattress would take up in your bedroom. It is important to get the right size bed frame. Make sure to also measure the route into your bedroom, so you know if the bed will fit through doorways and hallways. Once you have all of your measurements, choose a comfortable mattress that fits your space.

Step 6: Don’t forget about the door!

1. First, you need to measure the doorways in your home to make sure the bed will fit through them.

2. It is also important to measure the bed against the room’s existing furniture and décor.

3. To make an oversized bed look like it was made properly, use high quality linens.

4. To measure for a bed, try a step stool. Keep your blankets tucked in while you sleep to make mornings easier.

Best Pillows for Side Sleepers

by
Shoulder Cutout

What are the benefits of sleeping on your side?

1. Sleeping on your side can help reduce snoring.

Sleeping on your side can reduce snoring. When you sleep on your back, your tongue and soft palate can fall back into your throat and block your airway. This can cause snoring. Sleeping on your side keeps your tongue and soft palate from falling back into your throat and blocking your airway.

2. Sleeping on your side can help reduce sleep apnea.

Sleeping on your side is the most popular sleeping position in the US for many good reasons. One reason is that it can help reduce sleep apnea. Back sleepers are more likely to snore, while side sleepers are less likely to do so. This is because when you sleep on your back, gravity causes your tongue and soft palate to collapse and block your airway. Sleeping on your side keeps your tongue and soft palate from collapsing and blocking your airway, so you’re less likely to snore.

Pregnant women will often feel more comfortable on their side than in other positions. Sleeping on your side can help reduce sleep apnea and also acid reflux. When you sleep on your left side, gravity helps keep stomach acids where they belong—in your stomach. If you suffer from GERD, sleeping on your left side may help relieve some of your symptoms.

Side sleepers need a supportive mattress and pillow to get the most out of sleeping on their side and avoid pain in their neck, shoulders, hips, or back. There are different types of side sleepers (elevated leg, fetal, log), and each needs a specific type of pillow to support their neck (a thin pillow for elevated leg; a medium-firm pillow for fetal; and a thick, firm pillow for log).

3. Sleeping on your side can help reduce GERD symptoms.

Sleeping on your side can help reduce GERD symptoms. This is because sleeping on your side allows gravity to work in your favor and keep stomach acid from flowing back up into your esophagus. Additionally, sleeping on your side can improve joint pain, digestion, and back pain.

  • Sleeping on your side can help reduce GERD symptoms.
  • Sleeping on your side can help reduce acid reflux.
  • Sleeping on your side can improve joint pain, digestion, and back pain.
  • : Sleeping on your side can help reduce GERD symptoms.

4. Sleeping on your side can help reduce back pain.

Sleeping on your side can help reduce back pain for a few reasons. First, it takes the pressure off of your spine. When you sleep on your back, your spine is straight, which can put strain on the muscles and joints. Sleeping on your side allows your spine to rest in a more natural position. Second, sleeping on your side can improve the alignment of your hips and shoulders, which can also reduce back pain. Lastly, sleeping on your side allows gravity to work in your favor by pulling your stomach contents downward, away from your spine. This can help reduce pressure on the nerves in your back and improve digestion.

5. Sleeping on your side can help reduce headaches.

Sleeping on your side is a great way to reduce headaches and back pain. When you sleep on your stomach, your head is turned to the side and this can cause tension headaches. Sleeping on your side relieves this pressure and can help prevent headaches. In addition, sleeping on your side can improve joint pain and digestion.

6. Sleeping on your side can help reduce joint pain.

Sleeping on your side can help reduce joint pain for a few reasons. First, it takes pressure off of the joints. When you sleep on your side, your body is supported by the mattress, so there is less pressure on the joints. Second, sleeping on your side can improve digestion. When you sleep on your stomach, your digestive system can be squished, which can lead to indigestion or heartburn. Sleeping on your side keeps everything in its proper place so that you can wake up feeling refreshed and without pain. Finally, a good mattress is crucial for side sleepers. A softer mattress will contour to your body and provide support where you need it most. This will help reduce any pain in the hips or shoulders that may be caused by sleeping on a harder surface.

7. Sleeping on your side can help reduce acid reflux.

Sleeping on your side can help reduce acid reflux and back pain. This is because sleeping on your side keeps your head and stomach at the same level, which helps prevent stomach acid from leaking into your esophagus. Sleeping on your side is the most popular sleeping position in the U.S., so you’re likely to find plenty of supportive mattresses and pillows designed specifically for side sleepers.

8. Sleeping on your side can help reduce wrinkles.

Sleeping on your side is not only good for your joints and digestion, but it can also help reduce wrinkles. When you sleep on your back, gravity pulls your skin down, which can lead to wrinkles. But when you sleep on your side, your skin is supported and less likely to wrinkle. So if you want to help keep your skin looking its best, try sleeping on your side.

9. Sleeping on your side can help reduce cellulite.

Sleeping on your side can help reduce cellulite by improving circulation and lymphatic drainage. This can help to break down fat deposits and prevent them from reforming. Sleeping on your side can also decrease acid reflux and back pain.

10. Sleeping on your side can help reduce stress.

Sleeping on your side can help reduce stress by keeping your back pain and acid reflux. Lying in this position also helps keep your airway open, reducing the risk of snoring or sleep apnea. Side-sleeping is one of the best sleeping positions for numerous health reasons.

There are many benefits of sleeping on your side. Side sleepers tend to experience less back pain and neck pain than those who sleep on their stomach or back. Additionally, side sleeping can help reduce snoring and alleviate symptoms of acid reflux. When pregnant, side sleeping can also help improve circulation and prevent the baby from pressing on the mother’s spine.

How do you choose a pillow for side sleepers?

Step 1: Determine what type of sleeper you are.

There are three main types of sleepers: back, stomach, and side. Each type of sleeper requires a different type of pillow for optimal comfort.

Back sleepers need a pillow that is firm and provides support for the neck. A pillow that is too soft will cause the head to sink down and put strain on the neck.

Stomach sleepers need a thin pillow or no pillow at all. This allows the head to rest in alignment with the spine without putting strain on the neck.

Side sleepers need a medium-firm pillow that fills the space between the ear and shoulder when lying down. This provides support for the head and neck while keeping them in alignment.

Step 2: Consider your sleeping position.

Sleeping on your side affects the position of your head, and this affects the type of pillow you should choose.

People who sleep on their side need a pillow that supports their neck and spine. The best pillows for side sleepers are those that conform to the shape of the sleeper’s head and provide support for the neck.

Step 3: Find a pillow that is the right size for you.

To find a pillow that is the right size for side sleepers, you’ll need to consider the different types of pillows available and your own sleeping habits. Standard pillows are the most compact and the least expensive on average, but they may be too small for some side sleepers. Queen-sized pillows are 4 inches longer than standard pillows and should provide more room for people who toss and turn or use the entire surface of their pillow. King size pillows are also common and offer plenty of room for side sleepers. Finally, body pillows are at least 4 feet wide and can be a good option for pregnant women or people who like to cuddle up with a pillow.

Step 4: Choose a pillow that is comfortable for you.

The best pillow for side sleepers is one that is soft, comfortable and supportive. A pillow with a high thread count and a soft weave is ideal for side sleepers.

Step 5: Consider the materials of the pillow.

The best materials for side sleepers are those that are soft and easily conform to the shape of the head and neck. The pillow should also have a removable and machine-washable cover.

Step 6: Choose a pillow with the right firmness for you.

Choosing a pillow with the right firmness for side sleepers is important in order to get a good night’s sleep. There are a few different types of pillow materials, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. It is important to choose the right type of material for the type of sleeper you are. Side sleepers may want a pillow that is warm, bouncy, and moldable.

Step 7: Consider the fill of the pillow.

The type of pillow filling that is best for side sleepers depends on the firmness of the mattress. For softer mattresses, a thicker pillow is needed to fill the gap between the head and the mattress. Down pillows are the best option for side sleepers because they keep the head and neck cooler. Memory foam pillows are also a good option for side sleepers because they contour to the head and support the neck.

Step 8: Choose a pillow with the right support for you.

It is important for side sleepers to find a pillow with the right support in order to prevent neck and spine pain. The pillow should be firm and comfortable, and it should conform to the sleeper’s head and neck shape. The best way to find a pillow with the right support is to test it before buying it.

What are the 10 best side sleeper pillows?

1. Malouf Shoulder Carbon Cool Omniphase Pillow

Shoulder Cutout
 
The Malouf shoulder cutout pillow is by far my favorite pillow for side sleeping. The notch for your shoulder keeps you from having to bunch up your pillow and then losing support. It also sleeps incredibly cool with a large amount of phase change material on one side and a tencel cover that is washable so you don’t even need a pillowcase. 
 
Best of all is the premium foam. It’s very squishy and soft but still has great support and won’t lose support as the night goes on. My neck has never felt better.

Mattress Toppers: The 2026 Buyer's Guide

Hey, I'm Ben. A good mattress is expensive. A good topper? That's the cheat code. Whether you need to soften a rock-hard bed, cool down a memory foam oven, or just get a few more years out of an old mattress, this guide cuts through the noise.

Ben's Top Recommendations

10 Facts About Toppers You Probably Didn't Know

  • Origins: Early versions were made of straw and feathers. We've come a long way.
  • The "Band-Aid" Effect: A topper can extend a mattress's life by 2-3 years, but it can't fix a mattress that has a deep sag or broken springs.
  • Motion Isolation: A memory foam topper can significantly reduce the movement you feel from a restless partner.
  • Dual-Purpose: It protects the mattress surface from wear and tear (though you still need a protector for spills).
  • Customizable Firmness: You can buy a "Split King" setup with two Twin XL toppers—one firm for you, one soft for your partner.
  • Active Cooling: Modern "Phase Change Materials" (PCM) physically absorb heat when you get too hot and release it when you get cold.
  • Allergy Defense: Latex and bamboo toppers are naturally resistant to dust mites and mold.
  • Thickness Matters: 2 inches adjusts the "feel"; 4 inches completely changes the support level.
  • Compression Recovery: High-density toppers (4lb+) bounce back instantly; cheap ones leave a permanent "dent" after a few months.
  • Eco-Friendly: Options like the Birch or Parachute use sustainable materials that are biodegradable.

Mattress Topper vs. Mattress Pad

There is constant confusion here. Let's clear it up.

Feature Mattress Topper Mattress Pad
Thickness 1 to 4 inches (Thick) Thin (Quilted layer)
Primary Goal Change comfort & Support Protect from dust/stains
Feel Drastic change (Firmer or Softer) Slightly plush, mostly neutral
Material Memory foam, Latex, Wool Cotton, Polyester blend
Ben's Rule: If you hate how your bed feels, buy a Topper. If you just want to keep it clean, buy a Protector or Pad.

Buying Guide: What to Look For

Density & Thickness

2 Inches: Good for fine-tuning. Adds a bit of softness but you still feel the mattress underneath.
3-4 Inches: Total transformation. Ideal for side sleepers who need deep pressure relief for shoulders and hips.

Material Selection

Memory Foam: Best for pain relief and motion isolation. Can trap heat.
Latex: Bouncy, cool, and durable. Great for sex and moving around.
Wool/Down: Luxurious "hotel" feel but offers less structural support.

Sleep Position Guide

  • Side Sleepers: You need a thicker (3-4") soft topper to cushion hips/shoulders.
  • Back Sleepers: Medium thickness (2-3") to fill the lumbar gap without bowing your spine.
  • Stomach Sleepers: Thin (1-2") or no topper. You need a firm surface to prevent back arching.

Frequently Asked Questions

How effective are mattress toppers?

Highly effective for comfort. They can make a cheap mattress feel expensive. However, they cannot fix a sagging mattress—if the foundation is broken, a topper will just sink into the hole.

Which is best for joint aches?

Memory foam is the king of pressure relief. Look for high-density foam (like Tempur-Pedic) that contours to joints.

What is the ideal thickness?

For most people, 3 inches is the "Goldilocks" zone. It provides enough foam to contour without feeling like you are stuck in quicksand.

My Somavedic Recommendation


I have been using the Somavedic in my house for about a month now and while I can’t say for sure if it’s the Somavedic. I have been much more productive and focused lately. My somavedic sits in our living room and has a nice glow for ambient lighting. It’s reassuring to know that is constantly working to benefit my health 24/7. The device is portable enough were I could take it with me when I travel as well. I could definitey see getting some benefit out of this if I am staying in an unfamiliar place and want to rule out any EMF pollution near by. 


I anticipate that as more research comes out, the Somavedic will increase in popularity. Especially since electrical devices and hence electrical fields are becoming more prevalent and are part of our everyday lives.

Aricove Cooling Weighted Blanket Review

Aircove Weighted Blanket Review

Overview of the Aricove Weighted Blanket

The Aircove weighted blanket is a well designed blanket that is great for relieving anxiety and a great solution for hot sleepers that want the weight of a heavy duvet without trapping all the heat. While there are now endless options for weighted blankets, it’s important to consider construction and durability as these blankets by nature are heavy and need to hold up to washing and frequent use. Below are my findings on the Aricove weighted blanket. 

The Aricove weighted blanket will come shipped in a box like this. Well braned and neatly packed. 

Aricove Weighted Blanket Review

The Aricove weighte blanket comes with a canvas bag with a zipper and handles. This makes it easy to store it and travel with it. Weighted blankets are not easy to fold and look messy if you don’t folt them just right. It’s so much easier to just put this in the bag and zip it closed. It keeps the blanket clean and neat. You also get care instructions and warranty information. 

Weighted Blanket inside

Weighted blankets are bascially a commodity these days and you can find them just about anywhere including walmart and target. The main difference from just any weighted blanket and a quality weighted blanket is in the details. With aricove, you get great packaging and quality material inside as well. The fabric is soft and there is quality stitching throughout so you don’t have to worry about frayed seams or filling coming loose. 

Whats is the Aricove Weighted Blanket Made of?

Luxurious Bamboo Sheets

Delivers a silky soft texture with excellent temperature control and natural moisture-wicking properties.

Breathable Inner Layers

Enhances bamboo fabric’s moisture-wicking properties and serves as a sturdy bead-leak safety net.

Hypoallergenic Microfiber Fill

Cuddles you to sleep firmly and softly with hypoallergenic properties. Non-glue, non-toxic, and super low maintenance.

Superfine Glass Beads

Adds weight to the weighted blanket and ensures it molds to your body. Excellent conductivity to let go of excessive body heat and maintain the optimal sleep temperature.

How to Wash the Aricove Weighted Blanket

Machine wash warm at 90F – 110F on a delicate cycle. Dry flat or tumble dry on low heat only.

Use only mild, biodegradable laundry detergent that has no acid or alkali content.

Wash it separately from any other clothing to prevent snagging and damage.

Consider getting a matching duvet cover if you prefer not to wash your weighted blanket.

The Aricove Weighted Kids Blanket

Aricove also makes a weighted blanket for kids. It has the same construction and materials as the original blanketed but is smaller and weighs less so that it is appropriately sized for children’s bodies. Children with any sensory sensitivity would greatly benefit from a weighted blanket. 

My Aricove Weighted Blanket Recommendation and Final Thoughts

At first glance there’s really nothing revolutionary about this weighted blanket. But after using it compared to other weighted blankets, Aricove really gets the details right. The boxed stitching is small enough where the beads won’t shift all that much to give you a much more consistent feel across the blanket. 

The bamboo fabric has a soft silky feel and is great for keeping you cool and absorbing moisture so you won’t wake up sweaty. 

weighted blanket on bed

This blanket can be used with a cover. There are 8 loops stitched into the blanket to attach a cover. I would recommend using one if you don’t plan to wash the blanket that often. I prefer not to use a cover since they can be cumbersome to attach and remove everytime you want to wash it. Instead, I prefer to just wash the whole blanket as most washers these days can handle it. 

Aricove Price Trial and Warranty

If you purchase the Aricvoe and don’t like it for whatever reason, you have 30 days to return it for a refund. You do need to pay return shipping though which could be a little expensive due to the weight. 

Aricove also has a 3 year warranty on their blanket that warrants against any defects or workmanship. Usually it is 1 year. 

A 48″x72″ , 10 lb. weighted blanket retails for $169.95. That’s a really good price compared to others I have seen and especially  good given it is made with bamboo and premium stitching. 

Final Thoughts on Aricove Weighted Blanket

Aricove makes a premium product without a premium price. If you are new to the world of weighted blankets or maybe just need an upgrade, take a look at Aricove. They have just the right size to fit your or your child and the extra attention to details adds up to a blanket that looks and feels better, and will last for years to come.

Leesa Pillow Review

by
Leesa Pillow

All Leesa pillows are made with high-quality materials and are backed by a 30-night sleep trial. If you are not happy with your pillow for any reason, you can return it for a full refund.

Leesa pillows are generally well-reviewed by customers. Many customers praise the pillows for their comfort, support, and quality. However, some customers have found that the pillows are too firm or too soft for their liking.

If you are looking for a new pillow, Leesa is a good option to consider. The company offers a variety of pillow types to choose from, and all of its pillows are backed by a sleep trial.

I recently received a Leesa Pillow for review. The Leesa Pillow is a great choice for people who have recently purchased a Leesa mattress or are looking for a soft and supportive pillow that won’t literally let you down at night. If you are wondering if a Leesa mattress is right for you, check out my review. This pillow was specifically designed to work in conjunction with the Leesa mattress but on it’s own feels really nice and I would recommend using it with just about any memory foam mattress.

Overview of the Leesa Pillow

The Leesa Pillow has the look and feel of the Leesa mattress. By that I mean that the cover of the pillow is the same knit fabric used for the cover of the mattress and the inside of the pillow is made with Avena foam, the same foam used on the top layer of the mattress to give it the bouncy springy feeling that still provides great pressure relief and support.

Here’s a video overview of the pillow with me on the Leesa mattress.

 

A standard size currently retails for $75 and a king size for $95 which you can buy direct through their website. To complete your set you can even buy the Leesa blanket which also is made with the same fabric found of the cover of the mattress. It is cozy and heavy enought for comfort you but not too thick as to make you overheat. Perfect for a couch and late night Netflix binges.

The Leesa pillow comes in a box like the one below. It’s not shrink wrapped so is ready to use right out the box.

Leesa Pillow Box

Out of the box you will find that it is wrapped in plastic to protect it from getting dirty in transit. There’s also a nice card that talks about some of the charitable work that the company has done.

Leesa Pillow Wrapping

Leesa Pillow Construction

According to the website these are the construction details of the pillow

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

Designed and manufactured in the USA

MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTION

Contour cut Avena®-like performance foam with holes for increased airflow.

MEASUREMENTS & DIMENSIONS

STANDARD

18″W x 26″L x 5″H

KING

18″W x 32″L x 5″H

1. Responsive, Adaptive Avena® Foam

We’ve used a new generation of Avena® foam specifically formulated for the pillow.

2. Improved Airflow for Cooling

Engineered with hundreds of ventilation channels for maximum airflow to increase air circulation and improve support.

3. Washable Signature Leesa Cover

Our much-loved Leesa cover is made from the highest quality materials. It’s so soft and breathable.

My Leesa Pillow Recommendation

I would especially recommend this pillow if you are going to buy a Leesa matttress. It definitely works well with the mattress since they are made of the same materials. Having both the pillow and the mattress gives you a constent feel across your entire body.

If you are going to buy the pillow alone. I recommend it for people looking for a cool pillow that has a little bounce to it. It feels very similar to a soft latex pillow. The inside of the pillow has holes in it to allow for extra breathability.

Here’s a peek at the inside of the pillow.

Leesa Pillow Inside

As mentioned in the desription, the cover is removeable and washable. Heres a sideview of the pillow where you can see the zipper.

 

Below is a video that shows how responsive the pillow is. Again, this is very similar to how a latex pillow behaves. The difference is that it will contour a bit better than a latex pillow and won’t push back as much.

Smart Nora Snoring Solution Review

by
nora1

The Smart Nora snoring device is a non-invasive, contact-free device that helps to reduce or eliminate snoring. It consists of two main components:

  1. A microphone that sits on your bedside table and listens for snoring.
  2. An inflatable bladder that sits under your pillow.

When the microphone detects snoring, it sends a signal to the inflatable bladder, which gently raises and lowers your pillow. This helps to change your head position and open up your airway, which can reduce or eliminate snoring.

The Smart Nora snoring device is easy to use and can be used with any pillow and sleeping position. It is also relatively quiet and does not disturb sleep.

Here are some of the benefits of using the Smart Nora snoring device:

  • It is non-invasive and contact-free.
  • It is easy to use and can be used with any pillow and sleeping position.
  • It is relatively quiet and does not disturb sleep.
  • It is effective in reducing or eliminating snoring for many people.

The Smart Nora snoring device is not a cure for snoring, but it can be an effective way to reduce or eliminate snoring and improve sleep quality for both you and your partner.

 
 
There’s no way around it. Snoring is disrupting and downright annoying. There are plenty of products on the market to help with reducing these disturbances but the Smart Nora brings a simple solution to the problem—it just gently raises your head at the right moment. 
 
The Smart Nora is a simple and comfortable snoring solution that uses no mouth guard or nose strips. It’s just an expanding insert you put inside of your pillow. Then, when the Bluetooth connected sensor (called the “Pebble”) hears you snoring it gently lifts your head using a nearly silent air pump. As your head is raised it stimulates your throat muscles and disrupts the snoring. 
 
Here’s a video overview of the Smart Nora.
 
 

Design

The Smart Nora is very nicely designed. The case and sensor are very sleek and blend seamlessly into your bedroom. I really like how simple it is. You just turn on the sensor and head to sleep. Setup is also super quick and easy. It comes with a simple piece of plastic you stick above your bed to hold the Pebble. It even has a command strip already applied.

Comfort

The Smart Nora is one of the most comfortable stop snoring solutions out there. Since there are no mouth guards or nose strips you don’t even notice it until it starts moving. The movement is very subtle and slow. It’s designed to work silently and in the background to minimize disruptions to your sleep. The movement may wake you up while you’re getting used to the product. This is normal and within a week or so you should be back to sleeping soundly.   

Customization of the Smart Nora

The Smart Nora allows for personalization by adjusting the sensor’s sensitivity levels. This allows you to customize the sound threshold at which the movement is triggered. It took me a bit of adjusting but I was able to dial it in and account for how noisy my bedroom is at night.
 

Charging & Battery Life

The battery life has been great. The base unit has a battery life of 24 hours while the pebble can last up to 7 days without charging. The case (with the pump inside) plugs directly into the wall. The Pebble charges via USB but you don’t need to worry about plugging it into the wall because the case contains a USB connection. So, you really only need one open outlet for the whole system.

Pricing

The Smart Nora retails for $329.00 at www.SmartNora.com/. They also offer a 30 night free trial. So, if you decide it’s not for you within 30 nights you can return it for a full refund, including shipping! You can’t go wrong with a guarantee like that.  
 

My Smart Nora Recommendation

 
After using the device for a few days I’m super impressed. Overall, the Smart Nora is a very comfortable and well designed device. The movement is subtle and the pump makes hardly any noise at all. If you or your partner have a snoring issue, this is a super simple and comfortable product to try.

Elegear Revolutionary Cooling Blanket: Must-Have for Hot Sleepers

by
Elegear

The Elegear Revolutionary Cooling Blanket

Hot sleepers don’t have it easy and in some cases, we can’t help that we sweat when we sleep. It’s a problem, not just for us but especially when we’re sharing the bed with someone else. Sometimes sleeping hot makes it difficult to even get solid sleep at night, which can then impact so many other parts of our lives. I’m a hot sleeper myself so I can relate. It’s certainly not ideal. The Elegear Revolutionary Cooling Blanket for hot sleepers is designed to keep you cool and sweat-free overnight. By wicking away sweat quickly and efficiently, the blanket keeps you cool and comfortable without any added stress. It was created with the intention to help you wake up feeling relaxed, refreshed, and dry.

Overview of The Elegear Revolutionary Cooling Blanket

The Elegear Revolutionary Cooling Blanket comes with a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee for any reason, making it an irresistible offer for anyone who is tired of waking up drenched in sweat.

All their products come with a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. Used and undamaged products can be returned for full refund within 30 days of purchase. 

Construction of The Elegear Revolutionary Cooling Blanket

One thing I’d like to note is that it’s better to pay attention to the actual dimensions of the blanket, rather than the name or classification of the size, when it comes to purchasing. Some of their sizing/names don’t seem to line up with traditional bedding sizes so just be aware of this. Look at the actual in/cm provided and not the name.

ELEGEAR BLANKET SIZESINCHES
“Twin”51” x 67”
“Twin”59” x 79”
“Queen & King”79” x 86”
“King”90“ x 108”
TRADITIONAL BLANKET SIZESINCHES
Twin66” x 95”
Full80” x 90”
Queen90” x 100”
King108” x 100”
California King110” x 100 (varies)

When it comes to the materials of the Elegear Revolutionary Cooling Blanket, one side is made of 100% cotton and the other side (the cooling side) is made of 80% mica nylon and 20% polyethylene. This mica nylon and polyethylene blend is what gives Elegear’s Arc-Chill Fabric its cooling abilities.

It first wasn’t clear if Arc-Chill was Elegear’s trademark or a separate company all together but I eventually figured it out. I checked out Arc-Chill’s Facebook page and when I clicked the main CTA button to “Learn More,” it redirected me straight to Elegear’s website so yes, Arc-Chill is most likely a trademark of Elegear.

The Elegear fabric is a smart fabric, which requires some care if you want to maintain it and have it last. Excess heat can destroy some fabrics; some textiles just do not belong in a drying machine. So, while it is machine washable, it should be handled as a “delicate,” and it should also be air-dried, and Elegear further emphasizes, preferably “in the shade.”

My Elegear Revolutionary Cooling Blanket Findings

I was completely skeptical about Elegear’s revolutionary cooling blanket. Amazon products can be hit or miss, Elegear doesn’t sound at all like a domestic brand name (because it isn’t) so I didn’t trust it and I wondered how much of its popularity was due to hype. My experience on Amazon has been mostly good, and I would think like most people, I’ve experienced my share of being met with both high-quality and low-quality products when it came time to arrive. It’s probably silly to doubt it so much; they do, after all, have the best customer service experience ever; they don’t even rely on USPS or UPS for their own shipping. They have their own planes, their own trucks! They ship at lightning speed and if you’re unhappy, you can return almost anything and everything. But enough about Amazon for now.

Elegear surprised me in a very positive way. While I was filming the review, I had a difficult time distinguishing how to get the best “experience” and how to best “test” the fabric. Knowing the Q max value and understanding the Q max index intrigued me on an intellectual level but it didn’t answer my questions. After taking a few days away from the product, I eventually figured it out and I realized what everyone else has said: it really is cooling!

elegear cooling blanket folded on sofa_v2

If you want to test the fabric, you need to cover a lot of surface area. I tried this out by cloaking it over my bare shoulders and later after laying it down on my bed, and then laying on top of it. Then I really understood and felt the difference. Covering a hand or a piece of your arm probably won’t do it justice and that was my initial mistake. It’s also going to confuse you if you’re covered in a lot of fabric as it is; I got the best impression/effect on bare skin.

I’m glad I didn’t force a decision and come here and proclaim that it’s ineffective because that wouldn’t be true. Elegear’s Revolutionary Cooling Blanket works but it’s also not a block of ice so your expectations should be kept in check. I first suggest understanding just how “cooling” you want it. Maybe sleeping with an ice pack will work for some people but for something more subtle and gentle, and that doesn’t require nearly as much thought, a cooling blanket could do.

My Elegear Revolutionary Cooling Blanket Recommendation

The Elegear cooling blanket promises to keep you free of sweat and cool during the night. For those that can’t sleep without one, a blanket like this can be exactly what you need for the warmer months until winter takes us all back to hell. It was designed with hot sleepers in mind. I have no doubt that those prone to hot, sleepless nights could benefit from a cooling blanket like this one.

Please note that some reviews of Signature Sleep mattresses have been negative, with complaints about poor quality, customer service, and shipping issues. It is important to read reviews carefully before purchasing a mattress from any company.

The Signature Sleep 12-inch memory foam mattress is an incredible value. You can currently buy a queen size on Amazon for less than $300. Because it is also Prime eligible, you also get free shipping. This is a two-layer mattress that is good for all sleeping positions and is an excellent choice for someone looking for a mattress for a guest room or may just need one for a short amount of time. It also works as an everyday mattress.

Overview of the Signature Sleep Mattress

You can buy this mattress directly from Amazon and it will ship in a few days. It comes in a box like the one below so moving it into your bedroom is easy. I purchased a full size for review but a queen size box wouldn’t be that much bigger.

Once you get it out of the box you just cut open the plastic wrap and the mattress will begin to take life. This mattress took longer than most to fully expand. The directions say to wait 72 hours to get its full shape but you can sleep on it earlier than that if need be.

Signature Sleep Mattress Box

Here’s what it looks like right after opening. After about 3 days it will come to full shape.

Signature Sleep Mattress initial openingHere’s a quick video that highlights some of the main features of the mattress. As you can see in the video it’s not much to look at in terms of aesthetics but that doesn’t really matter since you will be putting sheets on it.

 

Construction of the Signature Sleep Memory Foam Mattress

Here are the construction details that are listed on their Amazon page

  • The Signature Sleep Memoir 12 inch mattress is made with a 4″ top layer of comfortable Memoir Foam, followed by 8 inches of high density foam; this allows for the mattress to mold to the body’s natural shape for a comfortable night’s sleep.
  • Comfortable, eco-friendly mattress to help minimize pressure on the body, distribute weight evenly and provide balanced support no matter how much you toss and turn.
  • The 12 inch Memory Foam mattress ships compressed, rolled, and vacuum sealed in a single box. Please allow up to 72 hours for the mattress to fully expand and for any potential odor to dissipate.
  • The Signature Sleep Memoir 12 mattress is made with CertiPUR-US certified foam. Foam in this mattress is made without PBDEs, TDCPP or TCEP (“Tris”) flame retardants, ozone depleters, mercury, lead and heavy metals
  • This Memory Foam mattress includes a soft cover made of breathable knit fabric; it is non-removable.

Here’s a picture of the label on the box of the mattress

Below are the prices listed on Amazon as of this writing. Check Amazon for the latest prices.

[table id=10 /]

My Signature Sleep Findings

Upon initially opening this mattress you will think that it is probably too soft. You need to give it adequate time to come to life though. After 3 days the mattress will firm up considerably. Here’s how much my 14 lb. bowling ball sinks into the mattress. This is a slow sink, meaning that it will slowly conform to you. Some Amazon reviewers describe this as a really nice hug.

Signature Sleep Mattress Sink

This is a two-layer foam mattress with 4 inches of comfort contouring foam on the top layer so you really won’t notice any motion transfer and if you do, I would make sure that it is on a solid foundation. Here’s a quick video illustrating motion transfer on the mattress.

 

Here’s a look inside the mattress that shows how each layer reacts. It should be noted that there is no phase change cooling material in the top layer and some Amazon reviews note about it sleeping hot. I would say that this is due to the fact that it is a memory foam mattress and people transitioning from a spring to a foam mattress will notice that it does insulate considerably more.

 

 

My Signature Sleep Recommendation

Overall this mattress is an awesome value for the money. You would be hard pressed to find a less expensive mattress with this construction. In terms of how it feels, It will feel a bit firm at first but you will slowly sink into it. Another popular Amazon mattress is the Zinus Green Tea mattress which I found to be softer than this mattress. I think this mattress would be a more versatile mattress though and more accommodating to stomach sleepers.
