wired.com Scott Gilbertson 2025-11-26 03:55:33

After years of testing, the Avocado Green hybrid mattress remains one of the best organic mattresses I've slept on. It's the only mattress my wife and I can agree on. She likes a soft mattress, and I prefer a firm one. This model somehow manages to be both without being too much of either. It's also good for combination sleepers like myself, who spend time in just about every position in the course of a night.

This robo-vac can do it, for the high-end price of $1,700. You won't find another robot vacuum with its features for less than $1,000 right now.
