A think piece on church "teaching"
I can't resist passing a super thoughtful piece by Nicholas Lash over at America. I think he accurately identifies part of the current disconnection between the bishops and faithful on church "teaching." The money quote:
I have long maintained that the heart of the crisis of contemporary Catholicism lies in just such subordination of education to governance, the effect of which has too often been to substitute for teaching proclamation construed as command. As Yves Congar said, it is impossible to make the function of teaching an integral element of jurisdiction because it is one thing to accept a teaching, quite another to obey an order.
Something to think about in light of the Phoenix case, for example.

Below, I am presenting my best picks in a broad range of categories. Not only that, but I'm going to describe why I picked the mattresses that I did, because I believe knowing what standards I use to make my decisions will empower you with the knowledge you will need to do even better research on your own!

I have chosen to break down my assortment of best mattresses to buy into these classes for the simple reason that the best mattress type for one sort of sleeper is not necessarily going to be the best for another. To find out more about how I made my picks, jump into the Best Mattress Criteria section of this guide. Nest Bedding Cashback
These are a few of the our team's personal favorites. Whether they're beds some people sleeping on or ones we voted as the very best of the best, these mattresses are true standouts in our book.
With beds to satisfy nearly every need (in the budget-friendly Essential to the lavish Wave), Casper mattresses are worth all the hype.
While I think most people could benefit from a night's rest on a Casper, I would mostly recommend them for anyone who suffers from chronic back or side pain. This is for a few reasons but mostly has to do with the fact that all of the brand's mattresses employ hybrid foam construction, which combines different foams together for maximum pressure
Time to update your mattress and searching through the bed in a box market for the first time? The DreamCloud is a great option for the ones that want the luxury feel and support of a conventional innerspring mattress with the simplicity of setup and worth cost of a bed in a box.
The DreamCloud includes a tall hybrid construction with pressure relieving foam on top and a pocketed coil support layer which offers a firm feel that's great for back and stomach sleepers. Another piece of the construction that I love is that the high density polyfoam border support which allows people to sleep near the side of the bed without collapsing the borders, a great feature for couples who need the entire surface of the bed.
If you're searching for an ultra-supportive bed, you may want to consider getting your hands on a WinkBeds mattress. Constructed with foam and two layers of coils, this bed is great for both combo sleepers and heavier individuals who want a bit of lift to their mattress.
The bed also comes in three different firmness options, so you'll be able to tailor the mattress to your particular sleep preferences. Another fantastic feature? The coil-on-coil structure produces a bunch of airflow throughout the construction, ensuring that things will stay nice and cool during the night.
If you're sleeping on a mattress you inherited from your Great Aunt Theresa or one a former roommate left behind in your apartment, odds are you've surrendered yourself to the fact that it probably doesn't satisfy your precise needs. But so what? It was free, right?
The area where it probably lets you down the most is pressure relief, or its ability to soothe tension at problem areas such as the shoulders, hips, and lower back. Of all of the changes you'll notice in a new mattress buy, the biggest is probably the difference that comes from going from your old mattress to one which offers ample comfort and relief. Hint: The latter is much, much better for you and your health.
You can find this strain relief in a lot of ways, but I'd say the easiest would be to decide on a mattress that features a durable base (of either pocketed coils or high-density poly foam) complimented by thick layers of contouring foam. Nest Bedding Cashback
If you are fairly sure your sleeping problems stem from a lack of pressure relief, I'd suggest checking out the Purple mattress. The bed's unique hyper-elastic polymer grid provides excellent comfort and relief to the lower back and shoulders as its walls fall to fill in the spaces at these regions.
Though this might not seem any different from the pressure relief you would get from memory foam or latex, I would argue that this grid stands a head above the rest because of how supportive it is; basically, you get to sink in without feeling stuck in the arrangement. This will spell good news for a vast array of sleepers who wish to feel as though they're sleeping on top of the bed as opposed to in it.
The Leesa is a standout in this category for me because of how great it is at providing uniform pressure relief throughout the body no matter one's sleeping posture.
While most all-foam beds are fairly good at providing relief to back and side sleepers, the Leesa is also able to meet stomach sleepers because of its top layer of Avena foam. This material is soft yet responds quickly to pressure, lifting up the sleeper and positioning them in addition to the bed. This gives relief to the chest and buttocks, crucial problem areas for people who doze primarily on their stomachs.
If you are following both pressure relief and temperature regulation, I would recommend checking out the GhostBed Luxe. Does this all-foam mattress provide targeted relief to sensitive areas, but it's also outfitted with a lot of really innovative cooling technology.
On the pressure relief front, the use of memory foam and the brand's proprietary Bounce Foam creates a stellar balance of sinkage and support. This means there is both contouring to relieve strain in the shoulders and lower back in addition to plenty of lift to maintain the spine in a healthy alignment.
Do you ever wake up in the morning with a dull, throbbing pain in your pelvic region? Do you toss and turn in the night seeking out that magical position that might alleviate the distress along your spine? If so, you might just suffer from chronic back pain and might possibly use a mattress update to aid with this back pain.
I need to note that back pain can result from numerous lifestyle, genetic, and physical factors, so I like to consider changing your mattress as just one of several steps that could be taken to address the issue. If you're suffering from back pain, it is best to check with a medical professional to develop a plan that'll address the underlying causes and symptoms. Remember, nothing on this page should be taken as medical advice.
That having been said, a general guideline is you will want a supportive bed (notice that firmness does NOT always equal support) with a soothing foam top layer to fill in the area at your lumbar area. You will also want something that keeps your shoulders at a nice alignment with your hips and is, of course, comfortable. Nest Bedding Cashback
If your main woe comes from stress on your upper back, you'll want to make certain you snag a mattress that gives as much pressure relief in the lumbar region as it does from the shoulders. The key here is a soft yet supportive foam top layer that'll provide an even combination of aid across the body. Enter the all-foam Leesa mattress.
I like this bed for back pain issues because of the order of its foam layers, using a section of buoyant Avena foam on top of one of memory foam. This placement may not seem like a big deal, but it really does a lot of great work to alleviate tension in the back. The sleeper gets to sink in for pressure relief but is also buoyed in addition to the structure, never having to sacrifice comfort for assistance.
For those athletic sleepers in the bunch who suffer back pain from long days spent in the gym or outside on the field, the Bear mattress might be an ideal bed for you. Designed with performance in mind, the Bear is outfitted with graphite-infused memory foam for temperature regulation and comfort in addition to a Celliant-blend cover, which some studies suggest can assist with recovery.
The bed also sleeps firm, with my testers giving it an ordinary firmness rating of 7, which you can compare to the business standard of 6.5 for medium firmness. This is a terrific level for most back sleepers, as it translates to solid support across the body.
A current trend in mattress design would be to add zoned support from the layers of the bed. What this means is that one or two parts inside a mattress will be comprised of not only a single type of foam (say, memory foam) but a combination of substances of different firmnesses. Essentially, the goal is to target various parts of the body in various ways to achieve the ultimate in comfort.
In my opinion, among the best examples of zoned support out there may be found in the Casper. The all-foam bed includes a transition layer built with two unique types of poly foam: a softer one in the ends of the bed and a firmer one in the middle. This placement provides pressure relief to the neck and feet while also bringing solid support to the thoracic area, a fantastic combination for anyone coping with back pain.
So far as mattresses are concerned, there is perhaps nothing more classic than an old-fashioned innerspring. These vibrant beds reigned supreme long before the arrival of all-foam models, and though they have definitely waned in popularity over time, there are still a variety of solid designs out there in the world.
But what makes a great innerspring bed? In my opinion, an excellent innerspring must sleep cool and have excellent bounce in addition to enough support to prevent you from feeling stuck in the arrangement.
Though innersprings are usually better for stomach and back sleepers, those who snore primarily on their sides may still find a lot to enjoy in one of those mattresses, provided that they feature a foam comfort layer for stress relief.
One such mattress which does this well is your WinkBeds mattress. Straightaway, the sleeper will encounter two inches of super-soft gel memory foam, which offers immediate comfort and contouring to the shoulders and hips. Directly below this layer, you will discover a coil-on-coil design that evokes the buoyant support of traditional innersprings. Nest Bedding Cashback
If you suffer from back pain, you will want a mattress that's going to fill in the space in your thoracic region with a few targeted pressure relief. There are not a lot of innersprings that can do this, but thankfully, the Saatva's got your back (see what I did there?) .
Not only does the coil-on-coil design create a bouncy mattress that keeps the sleeper in addition to the construction, but the mattress also offers a zoned lumbar area specifically designed to alleviate back pain. This greatly reduces the amount of pressure that is going to form and generates amazing comfort.
As you have likely noticed, most of the info I have provided thus far is terrific for sleepers who know exactly what they want in their bed. But what about in case you're not so sure? Yes, you need pressure relief in your shoulders, but does that mean you have to sacrifice firmness? What about if your sleeping habits change on a dime based on what you do during the day?
If any of these thoughts ring true, you might want to invest in a bed with adjustable firmness. These models include layers which can be switched around or altered depending on your needs in the moment, oscillating between the two firm and soft textures.
The Layla is an all-foam mattress unique in that it's double-sided, so it can be oriented to feature a firm or soft texture depending on a sleeper's tastes. I must note that while you might think this flippability would result in totally dramatic firmness differences, when my testers tried out the bed in both iterations, they gave the firmer side an average score of 6.5/10 and the milder side a 5.5/10.
This duality makes the Layla a good alternative for both sleepers and couples, who can alter the sense of the mattress whenever they need to shake up things from the bedroom.
As the name suggests, the Luxi 3-in-1 mattress is a fairly unique product in the sleeping world, as it can be oriented to reach the feels of three totally different beds. What this essentially means is that the mattress's four layers can be reversed, switched, and arranged to make either a soft, medium-firm, or firm sleeping experience. This is great for sleepers who aren't entirely sure about the sort of vibe they're after or ones who just like to change things up every once in a while.
Another customizable choice is that this eco-friendly mattress from Naturepedic. This hybrid bed is built with an organic cotton cover, a thick layer of all-natural latex, and a section of individually wrapped coils for pressure relief and support.
An added bonus of this bed is that it's flexible and comes in a few different firmness options, including firm, cushion firm, plush, and ultra plush. The layers you need to create these different feels will arrive in four separate boxes, which you will then assemble to your satisfaction. Plus, if you sleep with a partner and are looking for a mattress with different firmness levels, Naturepedic is more than happy to create a personalized split design for you and your bedmate. Nest Bedding Cashback
While some sleepers have particular feels that they want from their mattresses (e.g., luxurious foam or elastic coils), a much larger majority of us prefer a combo platter of sorts when it comes to our beds. We like memory foam but do not need five inches of the stuff to feel comfortable. We want sinkage, but not too much, and a dollop of contouring, but only if it's counteracted by the bouncy support of pocketed coils.
If any of this sounds familiar, you may be on the market for a hybrid . These beds ditch the"all-X" constructions of different versions in favor of ones that combine materials for a sleeping experience that really does it all.
The great thing about hybrid mattresses is their ability to unite the pressure relief of foam with the aligning support of springs and the DreamCloud does just that. The soft foam on top is wonderful for comfort and the latex layers really help dissipate body heat to help sleep a bit cooler.
The DreamCloud's pocketed coil system gives the mattress a solid feeling akin to a traditional innerspring mattress. The blend of latex layers and bounce from the coil system cause the sleeper to feel more on top of the mattress, permitting them to change positions without feeling stuck in the layers.
With their ultra-supportive pocketed coil systems, many hybrids are amazing for sleepers who suffer from chronic pain. However, I'd say my favorite from the group would have to be the Nest Bedding Alexander Hybrid, which combines this support with a super-soft foam-quilted cover for stress relief.
This means that as soon as you lie on the bed, you are likely to experience immediate comfort as you sink through the cover and into the gel-infused memory foam directly below it. The materials are intended to fill in the area at your lumbar area and alleviate the formation of pressure points across the human body.
And last but certainly not least, no hybrid type could be complete without a nod to the Brooklyn Bedding Signature. This hybrid mattress is a revamped version of the brand's flagship mattress and combines lush foam with pocketed coils for an impressive sleeping experience.
Here, the relief element comes from four inches of the brand's proprietary TitanFlex foam, a soft substance that also responds quickly to pressure. This bounce is doubled as soon as you add in the bed's pocketed coil system, which imbues the mattress with a few outstanding lift. The resulting structure permits you to sink in for lovely comfort while also keeping you positioned on top of the mattress, a win-win in my book.
What would a best mattress guide be without a section devoted to memory foam? Just about any bed-in-a-box retailer uses the material in some fashion, either quilted to a cover or as the primary relaxation layer of one of its mattresses. Nest Bedding Cashback
As a mattress material, memory foam is famous for its deep contouring and sinkage. At their best, these properties can provide the sleeper with enormous pressure relief and comfort. However, the foam may also overheat and create too intense of a"hug" that'll leave you feeling stuck in the mattress. The key, then, is balance and finding a bed that knows how to perform memory foam right.
Featuring several layers of memory foam (including a inch quilted into the cover), the Nectar mattress is an perfect match for anyone looking for a bed that truly embodies the timeless material. This translates to is a whole lot of sinkage and body contouring to get some super satisfying pressure relief.
And while memory foam has a bit of a reputation for overheating, Nectar employs a gel extract in its foam layers to ensure that things stay cool while you sleep. Add to this a comparatively low motion transfer and you've got yourself a bed that's as comfy for one as it is for two.
If you are interested in purchasing a memory foam mattress primarily for its pressure-relieving benefits, you might want to think about snagging one of the great beds in the Amerisleep suite of mattresses. The line boasts five different models, which vary from AS1 (super firm) all the way to AS5 (pillowy soft).
While the firmness range here is quite extreme, what unifies these mattresses is their exceptional use of memory foam. As employed in the Amerisleep lineup, the memory foam works in tandem with the other materials to soothe restlessness, provide excellent comfort, and dissipate movement disturbance throughout the structure.
Another great memory foam option is your Loom & Leaf, which are my top pick for couples. It features a super-soft foam-quilted cover, a gel-infused comfort layer, and a section of memory foam for compression support.
This combo of lush materials allows the mattress to truly embody all of the best aspects of the classic material, namely its deep body contouring and sinkage. In the event you and your spouse are both fans of memory foam or may simply benefit from the wonderful pressure relief it will provide, you can't go wrong with this mattress.
If memory foam's not really your thing, perhaps you'll be more in the marketplace for a mattress built with latex. Unlike memory foam, this material is famous for its bounce, coolingsystem, and responsiveness, creating beds which are equally comfortable and buoyant.
For my money, the best latex mattresses use the foam to endow the arrangement with lift and breathability, either as a fun accent between softer layers or as a major star in its own right. Another excellent advantage of latex is that it's relatively simple to produce organically, which makes it a fantastic pick for environmentally conscious sleepers. Nest Bedding Cashback
If you need something with a lot of bounce, consider going for a firmer latex mattress such as the Zenhaven. This one's completely built of organic Talalay latex, making for a compact bed that's both buoyant and pressure-relieving.
As you're likely to sink in slightly through the top comfort layer, the latex does a fantastic job of lifting up the sleeper and from the construction, helping to keep the spine in a terrific alignment. And of course that this bed is reversible, featuring both a lavish orientation (average firmness rating of 5.4/10) and a gentle firm one (average firmness rating of 6.75/10), meaning you can always change things up to satisfy your needs.
For those eco-friendly dreamers eager to get their hands on an remarkable latex mattress, the Cedar from Brentwood Home might be the perfect bed.
The mattress is built with a normal hybrid design of foam comfort layers and a tall part of individually wrapped coils, but what sets it apart are the green materials used throughout. An organic wool cover gives way to a series of all-natural latex layers, which make up the comfort section of the bed. And beneath the pocketed coils, you'll get a coconut husk base, which offers the structure with some stability.
And finally, there's the Nest Bedding Hybrid Latex, which is my best pick for anyone looking for a latex hybrid.
This mattress is constructed with layers of organic cotton, all-natural Talalay latex foam, and pocketed coils, stacking up to an impressive 13 inches of comfort. The combination of materials makes a pleasant medium-firm texture (my testers gave it an average firmness score of 6.4/10) which provides plenty of pressure relief with no stuck-in-the-bed feeling. And like other latex mattresses, this Nest bed sleeps super-cool.
Whether their substances warrant the cost or not, the unfortunate truth is that most beds are really expensive. As you must always think of a mattress purchase as an investment in your overall well-being, this doesn't mean you need to shell out thousands of dollars to secure a good night's rest.
In actuality, there are a lot of marvelous beds out there that are not just incredibly comfortable but also cheap enough to leave both you and your wallet grinning from ear to ear. Read on for some best-value mattress picks.
My favorite mattress for the price is the GhostBed, which unites latex, gel-infused memory foam, and durable poly foam for a sleeping experience that is cool, supportive, and incredibly pressure-relieving. The bed also has great motion transfer and border support, which makes for a well-rounded mattress that's as great for a single sleeper because it is for a pair of bedmates with different sleep tastes. With all these terrific qualities, this bed has to be super-expensive, right? Wrong! A GhostBed queen only costs $795, which can be quite the steal in the internet mattress world.
Tuft & Needle has long been a favorite among bed-in-a-box fans, as much for its no-fuss foam structure because of its low price point. In comparison to other mattresses on the marketplace, its queen size price of only $575 is super-affordable and accessible to sleepers of all different budgets. When you add in its exceptional motion transfer, deep pressure relief, and buoyant, medium-firm feel, this is a mattress that is truly tough to pass up.
If you are looking to snag a good deal on a more luxurious mattress, look no farther than the Spindle. This bed is crafted with all-natural materials, including wool batting, organic cotton, and three layers of Dunlop latex. What's unique about the Spindle is that it's fully adjustable. After filling out a quick questionnaire (detailing your weight, age, and sleep tastes ), Spindle will send you a customized package of latex layers, which you will then build at home to your own specifications. The end result is a bouncy and trendy mattress tailor-made to your comfort at a price that can not be beat.
When thinking about what makes a bed great for couples, I believe a few different factors. Namely, I am interested in figuring out how much of the surface area of the mattress you're going to have the ability to use and whether you're likely to be bothered by your partner's moves in the middle of the night.
That means I'm going to be drawn to beds that feature less motion transfer and excellent edge support. I'll also be on the lookout for mattresses that exhibit feels that cater to sleepers with different preferences, since even the most harmonious partners can snooze in distinct ways.
The Puffy mattress, dubbed "the Internet's most comfortable mattress" was designed and developed with the newest technology and premium excellent foam layers. It's handmade and 100% manufactured in the USA.
The mattress is excellent for all kinds of sleepers since it poses a moderate level of firmness together with a sleeping surface that seems just like a cloud.
After 4 decades of study, foam formulas, growth, sleep trials, and hundreds of hours of optimizing the memory layers, then the Puffy mattress was created and designed to guarantee a sleep surface that'll be ideal for a deep, restorative sleep. Nest Bedding Cashback
The Puffy mattress is just one of the most recent goods in the mattress marketplace and the organization believes they have crafted the best sleep system which will offer a cozy sleep on sleepers of all ages, sizes, and sleeping habits.
Whether you are just moving in with a new partner or struggling to make ends meet after a big wedding, value can sometimes be the main factor for couples to consider when creating a major mattress buy. So before you get intimidated by some of the heftier price tags in this roundup, rest easy: I've got you!
Say hello to the Nectar mattress. Built with a thick layer of memory foam, this mattress gives a luxurious vibe for a fraction of the cost of similar mattresses on the market: At $795 for a queen, it is practically a steal! This combined with the bed's exceedingly great motion transfer results make it a wonderful option for couples on a budget.
As I mentioned up top, edge support is going to be among the main things for couples to take into account, as it'll let them know whether or not they'll have the ability to use the whole surface of the bed. While there are a good deal of mattresses that offer great edge support, I'd say my favorite would have to be the Sapira.
This hybrid mattress is created by Leesa and employs a mixture of Avena and memory foams for pressure relief in addition to a pocketed coil system for support. The interplay of these various materials produces a good sense of security that's as powerful at the center since it's at the sides, ensuring that you will never feel as if you're going to roll out of bed in the middle of the night.
If buying a new mattress, side sleepers are interested in being extra-careful about the kind of bed they buy. When it's too firm, pressure points are likely to form at the shoulders and hips. If it's too soft, the sinkage could throw the spine out of alignment.
Personally, I find the best mattress type for side sleepers is one which has gentle top layers for cushiony support as well as a good base to maintain these plush materials stabilized. The secret is to find a mattress which pushes back as much as you push in so you never feel totally engulfed by the arrangement.
When side sleepers hear about the addition of pocketed coils in a bed, their first idea might be something along the lines of,"This bed is going to be far too firm for me!" Sometimes, this is true, but other times, it is not. Take the Tomorrow Sleep, for example, which is designed with coils, yes, but also a ton of pressure-relieving foam.
The bed comes in two firmness options (soft and firm), both of which include memory foam and poly foam edge support. I'd suggest that side sleepers check out the soft version, as it comprises three inches of memory foam up top for some pleasant design and relief.
Billed as Casper's most advanced mattress, the Wave is a fantastic option for side sleepers, as its five-foam-layer structure is designed especially with pressure relief in your mind.
This construction involves an interesting mix of bouncy latex, plush memory foam, and durable poly foam, which produces both deep body contouring and a pleasant lift. So while your shoulders and hips are likely to experience a good deal of cushiony support, this sinkage isn't likely to leave you feeling trapped at the materials.
For a few of you out there, relaxation will be about stress relief and support and much more about temperature regulation. If you're a sleeper who runs hot, your main focus is likely going to be on figuring out how to sleep as cool as possible.
As you begin your search, stay on the lookout for beds with individually wrapped coils, as the spaces between the packets encourage airflow throughout the construction. Latex is also perfect for cooling, since the substance is excellent at absorbing and dispersing heat. Memory foam is traditionally not the best at keeping things cool, but often, the material will be infused with gel to combat this feature.
The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora is a fantastic mattress for people who need to sleep cool. Boasting a hybrid design, the mattress is built with a super-tall pocketed coil support system (8 inches of individually wrapped coils), which produces dynamic breathability.
The mattress also has a phase shift cover, which is actually cool to the touch and helps to absorb the sleeper's body heat. In addition to these great features, the Aurora also has excellent edge support and motion transfer, which would allow it to be an wonderful alternative for couples looking to keep things cool in the bedroom.
While there are a lot of things for sleepers to love about a Purple (both its own pressure-relieving service and excellent motion transfer results come to mind), the characteristic that may be most attractive is that it is technically"temperature neutral."
So what exactly does this term mean? Fantastic question! Essentially, it means that the mattress's hyper-elastic polymer comfort layer (yes, that purple grid) is particularly good at dispersing heat due to its open structure. This produces a pleasant equilibrium throughout the mattress and ensures that one's inner body temperature won't be a preventative factor in getting a good night's sleep. Nest Bedding Cashback
Marketed as the"coolest bed in the world," the GhostBed Luxe was created for people that sleep hot.
The mattress combats overheating with a phase-change cover, which regulates body temperature, in addition to a thick comfort layer of gel memory foam. As we discussed in the intro, gel infusions help counteract the overheating properties of the substance, allowing sleepers to enjoy all the foam's great benefits (sinkage, body contouring( pressure relief) without getting too hot.
We have plenty of mattress picks across Sleepopolis, and below are a couple of other popular categories, including the best mattress for heavy sleepers (250 lbs and up), best for combo sleepers, and best for stomach sleepers. Be sure to check around our site for plenty more picks based on your own preferences, positions, and physique!
When searching for a new mattress, it can feel as if there are a whole lot of complicating factors to consider: materials, design, and price are only a few. While all of these are important things to think about, one factor which should never make your mattress search more difficult is your weight.
If you're a heavier sleeper, this might seem easier said than done, but there are actually a lot of fantastic beds out there built for sleepers of all different sizes, weights, and body types. These mattresses require everything that works well in different models (satisfying pressure relief, terrific support, cozy materials) and amp them up for a much more optimal sleeping experience.
My favourite mattress for heavier sleepers is hands down the Big Fig, as it had been specifically intended for individuals who weigh over 300 pounds.
A hybrid construction combines a high section of durable poly foams with bouncy pocketed coils for a firm and supportive feel. This mix of materials is finessed to keep sleepers lying on top of the mattress as opposed to in it, which will be important for those who tend to sink directly through softer layers. Plus, every huge Fig comes with a specialized base, which adds even more durability and shape to the overall structure.
For heavier couples, there's no better mattress on the market compared to WinkBeds Plus. This mattress can also be outfitted with a hybrid design, which brings together bouncy latex with individually wrapped coils to get a sleep that's as pressure-relieving as it's supportive.
I should add that the pocketed coil system is zoned, providing the mattress with much more technical support. As a consequence, that you'll able to use the whole surface area of the bed and are not likely to feel stuck in the arrangement, which can sometimes be a problem for heavier sleepers lounging on beds not designed for their needs.
Contrary to popular belief, memory foam isn't the enemy of heavier sleepers. Though some say the substance's classic design and sinkage properties don't offer enough support to sleepers of different sizes, I'd argue that when coupled with the right stuff, memory foam brings a lot to the party!
A fantastic example of how this works is at the Nest Bedding Alexander Signature. The sleeper immediately meets a thick slab of 4-inch memory foam, which yields incredible body contouring. But after sinking through this layer, they'll encounter a series of firmer foams, which help establish a healthy spine alignment and a great deal of solid support.
Having trouble deciding if you are a stomach, back, or side sleeper? Do you tend to fall asleep in one position and wake up in an entirely different one? Perhaps you're what I like to refer to as a combo sleeper, or someone who dozes in numerous positions.
What this means for your mattress hunt is that you are basically going to be searching for a bed with an all-encompassing feel, preferably one that strikes a satisfying balance between all of its different materials. So if it's a hybrid, as an instance, you'll want to be certain the pressure relief of the foam doesn't cut in the support of the pocketed coils and vice versa.
Below, take a look at some of the beds that I believe strike this balance particularly well.
For those who spend time slumbering in multiple positions, there is no better choice than the flagship Leesa mattress. The balanced foam texture unites pressure relief and support for a sleep that is sure to satisfy a wide range of sleepers.
I should note that the mattress is on the firmer side (my testers gave it an average firmness evaluation of 7/10) and does a great job of lifting the hips up and from the structure. Plus, the mattress's top layer of Avena foam imbues the mattress with an additional oomph of inviting bounce to fight that stuck-in-the-bed feeling.
Speaking of inviting bounce, one of the bounciest beds I've tried so far in 2018 is the New Purple. This hybrid revamp of the brand's flagship model comes in three different firmness levels, all of which are designed to satisfy a wide assortment of sleepers.
Along with the buoyant lift from the layer of pocketed coils, the mattress also includes a ton of pressure relief as a result of its hyper-elastic polymer comfort grid. This section is great at evenly distributing weight across the bed, letting it specifically respond to different amounts of pressure from each region of the body. It follows that no matter how you sleep, you're bound to come across some fairly incredible comfort.
Designed with a combination of memory foam and high-density poly foam, the Nectar is a super-comfortable mattress that offers awesome pressure relief in numerous positions.
While the nearly four inches of memory foam up top may make back and stomach sleepers run for the hills, the mattress actually has a nice moderate firmness to it, so you will find a solid mix of sinkage and support. This feel will satisfy a lot of different sleepers, from those who need cushioning at the shoulders all the way to those needing targeted relief at the lumbar region.
If you are a stomach sleeper, you'll want to find a firm mattress that'll position your shoulders and hips in an even line. Sound easy enough? Unfortunately, not always. A whole lot of beds that charge themselves as being firm sacrifice good support in the title of said firmness, resulting in mattresses that don't do much of anything in any way. Nest Bedding Cashback
So the question remains: Are there beds out there that could keep a stomach sleeper's body level enough for healthy spinal alignment while also being comfortable? The answer is a resounding YES!
For some examples, check out my favorite mattresses for stomach sleepers below.
Featuring coil-on-coil construction, the WinkBeds hybrid creates a wonderful mattress option for stomach sleepers. The combination of both microcoils and pocketed coils creates an ultra-supportive sleeping experience that keeps the sleeper positioned on top of the bed.
An additional bonus is that the mattress also has a plush pillow top for stress relief and comes in three different firmness options, so you'll definitely have the ability to locate a model that fits with your specific sleep needs.
For those stomach sleepers in search of an all-foam mattress, you can not really go wrong with the Zenhaven, which contrasts a bounty of buoyant support from its all-latex construction.
While you'll probably experience a bit of sinkage when you first lie down on the bed, you'll realize that the layers work together to buoy you in addition to the mattress. This is great for stomach sleepers, who need to maintain their shoulders and hips from sinking too far into the arrangement, which can throw their spinal alignment way out of whack. I should say that the Zenhaven comes in two firmness options: plush or firm.
Very Best MATTRESS REQUIREMENTS AND SCORING
Finding the best mattress manufacturers for 2018 was not an easy task. There are hundreds of companies in the world, and I personally tested out and reviewed dozens of different models in my quest to answer the seemingly innocuous question: What is the best mattress?
And even though I've landed on what I believe are some really fantastic selections, I want to acknowledge that this list is constantly evolving and that my opinions are likely to change as newer beds emerge on the market.
That being said, all mattresses included on this list had to fulfill the following criteria:
My selections for the best mattresses to buy in 2018 all had to be available in 2017 for at least six months prior to this review, with a small advantage given to those models available for a year or more.
Why is this significant? For starters, the longer a company's been in business, the more confidence I have in its ability to deliver on guarantee promises, return policies, and merchandise availability. Secondly, it tells me that people are responding to its products, which means the materials are durable as well as the designs are well-executed. And finally, it suggests that the organization is going to be around for the long haul, which makes it a good investment.
In my opinion, the overall customer experience is just as important as an exceptional item. If a brand has an amazing mattress but negligent customer service agents or confusing policies, I can not in good faith include it on this list.
So how do I make sure that a firm has top-notch customer support? I'm constantly scouring the Web for third-party reviews, looking carefully to see if users are neglected or obtained lackluster service from a particular retailer. I also keep my eyes on social media for any brand red flags, which I then investigate on my own.
Furthermore, I rely on you all! If I detect that our great Sleepopolis readers are reacting in a particularly good or poor way to a company, I'll adjust my positions so, always giving precedence to brands which have a killer history of positive customer service testimonials.
As more and more bed-in-a-box businesses surface in the electronic ether, value has become an increasingly important factor for me to look at when selecting the best mattresses of any given year.
And when I refer to value, I am not just talking about a very low price point. A great value is attained when the selling price is well below the average market cost for what you would ordinarily will need to pay for a mattress of the quality and performance. In this way, mattresses in all points on the pricing scale can be considered an exceptional price.
Last, but certainly not least, let's talk about company integrity. While different folks will consider ethics in different ways, for me, it comes down to a few crucial questions:
- How does a company treat its clients, both those who are happy and those with complaints?
- How transparent is a new about the kinds of materials it uses and from where it sources those substances?
- Has the company received any accolades voted on by users?
- What, if any, outreach did the company do in 2017? In 2018?
- What are a few of the brand's key values? How does this enact those values in its day-to-day operations?
It does not take long to figure out the answers to those questions, and once I do, I use them to inform my positions as much as relaxation or price. In my experience, the best mattress manufacturers are those that not only want to be the best but truly want to do right by the sleepers who rest on their beds night after night.
If you're seeking the ideal mattress, there are a few other questions that you may want answered as well.
To find their very best mattress, most buyers will consider cost, firmness, adjustability, and sleep style before buying. You might want to consult your doctor first if you experience any kind of pain after sleeping. This can help you pick the best mattress for you.
How long is a mattress designed to last? Regardless of what kind of mattress you purchase, most should be replaced every ten years for a great night's rest and optimal relaxation. Even if you find your dream mattress, you will want to consider a replacement in 10 years. Nest Bedding Cashback

|Bowers & Wilkins Launches iPod Speaker System: Zeppelin
|Tuesday, 07 August 2007
Bowers & Wilkins has debuted a striking, audiophile grade powered
speaker system for the current range of iPods. Bowers & Wilkins'
"Zeppelin" delivers an entirely unique level of high-fidelity
reproduction, with remote-controlled convenience, from a compact,
ergonomic, and stunningly designed package.
The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin is a one-piece amplified speaker
system and docking station that transforms an iPod into an
astonishingly capable yet highly compact stereo music system. Barely
two feet wide, with a dramatic, tapered shape and beautifully finished
in polished stainless steel, Zeppelin sets a new benchmark for both
audio fidelity and appearance in this rapidly growing field. Certified
as "Made For iPod" by Apple and with its form created by international
award-winning industrial designers Native Design Ltd. of London,
Zeppelin offers the ideal music system for office, bedroom, kitchen, or
a second home.
The Zeppelin's tapered ends house the midrange and tweeter drivers in much the same way as the famous "pods" of Bowers & Wilkins' world-class 800 Series loudspeakers, presenting a carefully curved profile that ensures a smooth response and even distribution of sound into the room. Each pair of midrange and tweeter drivers is spaced as far as possible to left and right to maximize stereo separation. Low frequencies are handled by a single five-inch "subwoofer" located in the center, its bass performance enhanced by the twin rear-firing ports. Three channels of amplification, each incorporating proprietary DSP (digital signal processing) tailored to fine-tune response of the five drivers, deliver real high-fidelity power: 50 watts for the woofer and 25 watts for each two-way mid/high-frequency section. The result: deep, loud, startlingly dynamic sound reproduction - reflecting its serious high-end audio credentials.
The Zeppelin design incorporates famous Bowers & Wilkins design elements such as its renowned aluminum-dome tweeter and Nautilus tapered-tube tweeter-loading technologies, which yield superlative definition and clarity. The passive crossover circuits feeding the midrange and tweeter drivers employ such audiophile grade components as film capacitors and air-core inductors for dynamic, low-distortion reproduction, while Zeppelin's glass-fiber midrange cones are distinguished by critically positioned slots filled with resonance-absorbing compounds, developed using sophisticated laser-interferometry and computer-modeling techniques. The net result is jaw-dropping sound, with smooth, warmly detailed treble extending into the ultrasonic region and deep bass extension, all presented with musical detail that listeners won't believe has come from their iPod.
Zeppelin is world-ready, automatically accepting any AC power standard from 100-240V. Its smart 30-pin docking port accepts latest-generation iPods without requiring an adapter or interchangeable bases, thanks to its unique, spring-loaded design. The "floating" arm design allows the user to grasp a docked iPod, making it as easy to operate as when hand-held.
Zeppelin comes complete with a pebble-like, mini remote handset to provide even more convenient control of volume, source select and mute, working seamlessly with the iPod to command its play/pause and track-selection functions. When docked, the iPod also accesses a special Zeppelin "Speaker" menu, with five-position bass EQ to tune response for system placement or individual preference. Zeppelin's rear S-video and composite-video outputs deliver iPod video to a big screen, and a combination analog/digital mini-jack input offers Zeppelin playback of virtually any non-iPod audio source. Also included is a dedicated tilt-base, to place the Zeppelin at the acoustically ideal angle for seated or standup listening.
Zeppelin will be available from September 2007, at select Apple Stores nationwide and online (The Apple Store), at a manufacturer's suggested price of $599.00.

In Japan, fresh mushrooms prices are relatively cheap except button mushroom. The most recent trip to supermarket I bought two packs of Enoki mushroom at 98yen, stocked up my mushroom stock again. Now, I have three types of mushroom in the refrigerator - Enoki, Shimeji and Shiitake mushroom. What is your favourite mushroom?
This is another easy vegetarian dish I prepared for next issue of Y3K Recipes (May/Jun), baked rice in a "ship" with enoki mushroom and cheese topping. And, I named it Baked Rice Ship. It is something that can be eaten like finger food, suitable for obento and party. The combination of crispy tofu puff (when hot) and melted cheese tasted so good!
- 4 pcs tofu puff
- 8 heap tbsp cooked rice, mix with pinch of salt
- 2 slices cheese, divide each slice into 4
- 1 portion of Sesame-Mayonnaise Enoki Stir-Fry
- Some boiled edamame or green peas
- Cut each tofu puff into halves, stuff each half with 1 heap tablespoon of rice.
- Then, fill in stir-fried enoki and edamame.
- Cover each "ship" with a piece of cheese, then toast in a toaster for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Serve warm.

Here are few photos I took two days ago when we had hanami at Ide Town (southern part of Kyoto). It was a great day for hanami, sunny and not so windy. In fact, I hoped for a windy day so we can enjoy the snowing-petals.
On the way, five minutes from home roughly. Beautiful sakura trees along the roadsides.
At the sakura matsuri, Ide Town
We were welcomed with such nice view and later we had our picnic at riverside too.
Closed up of sakura at the tree trunk!

CHARLOTTE � When you select fourth in the NBA Draft and there�s wide speculation about the first three picks, it raises your uncertainty if you�re the Charlotte Bobcats who pick fourth, right?
Not if you listen to top Bobcats executives who remain confident they will be adding a talent player to their already-youthful roster.
Most NBA mock drafts have Kentucky freshman center Nerlens Noel going to the Cleveland Cavaliers with the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday�s NBA draft, but there are more than enough questions that would lead anyone to believe the Cavaliers could go in another direction.
Much of the uncertainty comes from the notion pushed by most league scouts and experts that the 2013 NBA Draft is low on immediate star potential and deep on uncertainty.
Just don�t count Bobcats general manager Rich Cho among the believers.
�I know everybody says the draft is weak, but I know we�re going to get a great player,� Cho said at Wednesday�s Bobcats pre-draft news conference at Time Warner Cable Arena.
Just exactly whom that �great player� is remains a mystery.
Depending on which mock draft you check, the Bobcats are slated to pick UNLV freshman Anthony Bennett or Kansas freshman guard Ben McLemore or Maryland sophomore center Alex Len or Indiana junior guard Victor Oladipo with the fourth selection.
ESPN NBA Draft expert Chad Ford even told Charlotte�s ESPN AM 730 Wednesday afternoon that he thought Indiana sophomore forward-center Cody Zeller was �in the mix� for the Bobcats, even as most mock drafts list Zeller no higher than a No. 9 overall pick.
Certainly, the Bobcats hope their No. 4 selection turns into recent standout picks like Tyreke Evans by Sacramento in 2009, Russell Westbrook by Oklahoma City in 2008, Chris Paul by New Orleans in 2005 or Chris Bosh by Toronto in 2003 � and not like previous No. 4 picks who have struggled like Tyrus Thomas (Portland 2006) or Marcus Fizer (Chicago 2000).
�Right now we have some guys that we�ve targeted at the No. 4 spot,� said Rod Higgins, Bobcats president of basketball operations.
Added Cho: �Every player up there (in the top of this draft) has strengths and every player has weaknesses. But we feel we�ll get a good player at No. 4.�
Of the top group of players, only Zeller worked out for the team, while the injured Len (foot) and Bennett (shoulder) came in for interviews.
Another top player, Georgetown sophomore forward Otto Porter, declined a Bobcats� workout invitation and there�s much speculation he�s been guaranteed a top three selection � thus making his working out for the No. 4 Bobcats unnecessary.
While Cho said it was the prerogative of the player and his agent to decide whether or not to do workouts with teams, he was emphatic about the Bobcats� ideas about such workouts.
�Our philosophy is to have guys workout with other players,� Cho said. �We want to watch guys compete. We don�t want to watch one on none workouts.�
Since Porter has been slotted anywhere from selection No. 1 to No. 8 in the draft only adds to the intrigue of his decision.
And while Cho said he expected to add a good player at �No. 4,� he didn�t rule out the possibility of trading away that selection.
�That�s definitely a possibility,� Cho said. �We�re looking at every option.�
As are Bobcats and NBA fans on the eve of what most expect to be the most unpredictable draft in years.

Maintaining a CPAN Module.by tmharish (Friar)
|on Jan 23, 2013 at 10:08 UTC ( #1014870=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
tmharish has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi Monks - Hoping for help on two questions regarding the Maintaining of a CPAN Module.
The first one is very basic - but I want to be sure:
As a co-maintainer, if I want to update a module do I have to do anything other than simply upload a version of that module with a higher version number? - Wikipedia indirectly seems to say so but I just wanted to be sure.
My second question is regarding ongoing maintenance:
Recently I was pointed to git and told that its a good option for holding code. I just want to make sure that I dont end up with two places to check on bug reports from although I would appreciate any kind of fixes that people would want to submit. Also, code versioning will not be what I use git for - I use SVN for that. So the main advantage will be collaboration.
So my question is: Does it make sense to also host on git? or is that just redundant? Has anyone found that hosting on git encourages people to submit fixes?

IMF managing director and possible French presidential contender Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested and charged yesterday with sexual assault, including the attempted rape of a hotel maid in New York City.
Strauss-Kahn, 62, a key player in the response to the 2007 to 2009 global financial meltdown and Europe's debt crisis, was taken off an Air France plane about to leave for Paris from John F Kennedy International Airport on Saturday.
One of his lawyers, Benjamin Brafman, said that the IMF head "will plead not guilty."
The news rocked France, where latest opinion polls ranked Socialist Strauss-Kahn as front-runner for the nation's presidential election next April and May.
"The news we received from New York last night struck like a thunderbolt," Socialist leader Martine Aubry said, appealing for party unity.
Francois Bayrou, a centrist opponent of Strauss-Kahn, said: "All this is completely astounding, immensely troubling and distressing. If the facts prove true ... it's something degrading for all women. It's terrible for the image of France."
Far-right leader Marine Le Pen said her rival's presidential hopes had been crushed. Strauss-Kahn and Le Pen have led recent opinion polls ahead of conservative French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
The IMF declined to comment and IMF board officials said they had not been informed officially of the incident.
New York police spokesman Paul Browne said Strauss-Kahn was arrested at 2:15am yesterday on charges of a criminal sexual act, attempted rape and unlawful imprisonment.
"We must wait until things settle and see if it's true or a -provocation," one of Strauss-Kahn's French-based lawyers, Leon Lef Forster, said. "We must be especially careful not to get into a media circus and we must wait until things are clear."
A 32-year-old maid filed a sexual assault complaint after fleeing the US$3,000-a-night hotel suite at the Sofitel in Times Square, where the alleged incident occurred around 1pm on Saturday, Browne said.
Strauss-Kahn appeared to have fled the hotel after the incident, the police spokesman said.
"She told detectives he came out of the bathroom naked, ran down a hallway to the foyer where she was, pulled her into a bedroom and began to sexually assault her, according to her account," Brown said.
Strauss-Kahn does not have diplomatic immunity, Browne said. He was expected to be brought before a state court yesterday.
According to New York State law, a criminal sexual act carries a potential sentence of 15 years to 20 years, the same as attempted rape. Unlawful imprisonment carries a sentence of three to five years.
The allegation is a major embarrassment to the IMF, which has authorized billions of US dollars of lending to troubled countries and played a major role in the eurozone debt crisis.
It follows a statement on Thursday that the IMF's No. 2, John Lipsky, plans to step down in August when his term ends.
The two developments raise the risk of a leadership vacuum at the fund — a particular worry to European countries, given Strauss-Kahn's pivotal role in brokering bailouts for Iceland, Hungary, Greece, Ireland and Portugal.
Popularly known by his initials DSK, the IMF managing director had been expected to declare by late June if he would run for president of France. The latest opinion polls ranked him as a clear frontrunner.

Do you remember where you were when you heard Marissa Mayer was named the CEO of Yahoo?
I do. I was at work. I saw something vague about it on Twitter: I gathered Marissa Mayer was at Yahoo now. I clicked the link. The next few seconds, in my memory, play out like slow motion, like a dream state. I saw the word "CEO". I read the full sentence. I had to read it two more times before I believed it.
Marissa Mayer is the new CEO of Yahoo.
It occurred to me, several hours later, that this would be a moment I'd remember my whole life. Where I was, how I felt, when I learned Marissa Mayer was the new CEO of Yahoo.
I felt as if the tide had finally shifted.
"I want to work at Yahoo!"
Several hours later, the news emerged that Mayer is pregnant, due in October with a boy. She'd informed Yahoo's board of her pregnancy in late June, just a week after they'd approached her about the job. They hired her regardless and moved their September board meeting, scheduled to be in New York, to Mayer's hometown of Sunnyvale.
My next thought caught me by surprise: "I want to work at Yahoo."
I'm sure I'm not the only woman who's thought that since the announcement.
In hiring a 37-year-old pregnant woman as CEO, Yahoo is sending a message loud and clear: We want the best and brightest female minds in tech, and we are committed to making Yahoo a company whose culture attracts you, retains you and promotes you. You could be CEO of this company some day.
Women follow women
We read a lot lately about investors putting pressure on large corporations to place women in their C-suites and on their boards. It's easy to read that and feel like it's the next phase of a bra-burning feminist agenda, but a company's investors want that company to succeed. They have skin in this game, and they'd never ask a company to litter its management with token ineffective women.
They want to see the companies do better. They know including women helps companies do better.
A slew of recent research shows that C-suites with women on them outperform all-male teams, and that women are more effective leaders than men.
Investors want to get women into upper management, and into all levels of a company, because it makes the company perform better.
And where one brilliant woman finds success and recognition, others will follow.
So perhaps Marissa Mayer (with a hat-tip to Yahoo's board) has already begun turning the company around. The best female talent in tech and digital – talent that would otherwise go to Google, Facebook or Twitter — will now be taking a much harder look at Yahoo. If Yahoo can leverage Mayer's new leadership to recruit them, that alone could help right this ship.
