How Often Should You Replace Your Mattress and Bedding?

wired.com Julia Forbes 2025-10-02 00:39:00

As foreboding as it sounds, nothing lasts forever—not even your mattress, sheets, and pillows. It’s essential to know how often to replace your mattress and bedding, not just for hygiene reasons, but for ensuring you’re getting optimal support and comfort to aid in sleep. I have seen some severe cases of people using wildly outdated or damaged mattresses (think 20 years or more, or covered in duct tape), and pillows so shredded into tatters that it makes you wonder how they even resembled pillow

Behind Kamathipura's Closed Doors

On the rickshaw, in the evening rush hour. An elderly driver, hands on the steering wheel, khaki shirt, marking his station. His neck hesitantly swivels, as if to say something: they have arrived at their destination. An alien territory in the white-washed city. Coquettish beckonings are lined up on fractured doors as street lamps in the narrow alleys. Collapsing buildings constrict ventilation and light. A landlord’s greed is made manifest: two-storeyed houses buried beneath off-balanced extens

Resizing images in Rust, now with EXIF orientation support Resizing an image is one of those programming tasks that seems simple, but has some rough edges. One common mistake is forgetting to handle the EXIF orientation, which can make resized images look very different from the original. Last year I wrote a create_thumbnail tool to resize images, and today I released a small update. Now it’s aware of EXIF orientation, and it no longer mangles these images.

Hello everyone, I have great news to share: After three months of fighting, our Chatbox app is finally back on the U.S. App Store! 🎉 What happened? In April 2025, another company with an app of the same name filed a dispute with Apple, claiming they held a trademark for the word “Chatbox.” I believe this claim was baseless, because: "Chatbox" is a widely used, generic word across the internet, and their trademark application had already been initially rejected by the USPTO.

He had just ordered take-out food, come back from a vacation with his friends on Catalina Island. No indication at all that he was suicidal. No note and no behavior.

Almost immediately after she posted about the shooting of Charlie Kirk, author and trans woman Gretchen Felker-Martin started having second thoughts. Felker-Martin, who wrote the latest iteration of DC Comics’ Red Hood series, said “thoughts and prayers you Nazi bitch” on Bluesky in response to the killing of Kirk, a right-wing influencer and Trump ally who was staunchly anti–trans rights. “Hope the bullet’s okay after touching Kirk,” she added.

It’s Getting Ugly: Sam Altman Seeks Texts From Shivon Zilis, Elon Musk’s Employee/Mother of His Child

Last year, Elon Musk sued his rival Sam Altman’s company, tech superstar OpenAI. In his lawsuit, Musk claimed that the company had violated federal racketeering laws because, having once promised to stay a nonprofit research lab, had since converted itself into a for-profit company. Musk, who initially poured tens of millions of dollars into the startup, claims he was deceived. OpenAI and Altman have since countered that Musk also wanted OpenAI to become a for-profit venture.

How Prehistoric Humans Survived a Supervolcano So Big We Probably Should Have Gone Extinct

If you were lucky 74,000 years ago, you would have survived the Toba supereruption, one of the largest catastrophic events that Earth has seen in the past 2.5 million years. While the volcano is located in what’s now Indonesia, living organisms across the entire globe were potentially affected. As an archaeologist who specializes in studying volcanic eruptions of the past, I often think about how incredible it is that humans survived this extinction-level event that was over 10,000 times larger
