DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress Review: Support and Value

I’ve written numerous reviews of the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid mattress over the past six years of my mattress testing career. It was on my short list of favorites then, and its newest iteration, released in May, still is. This is no small feat, especially given the current supply-chain issues, tariffs, and price increases, all of which can affect the materials (and thus, the performance) of a mattress. Plus, I’m like the Simon Cowell of mattress world—a bed has to work really hard to impress me

Thuma Dupes: Japanese Joinery Bed Frames That Stack Up (2025)

I’m a longtime fan of DreamCloud mattresses, so it came as no surprise that the brand’s Japanese joinery bed frame is an excellent product. Just like the mattress, numerous thoughtful details in this frame made it immediately stand out, so much so that I will be keeping it around for long-term testing to try with a larger variety of beds. DreamCloud made the setup of this frame seamlessly idiot-proof (@me). Each piece is labeled, and when it comes time to actually put it all together, take a ga

Dreame’s New Stair-Climbing and Arm-Equipped Robot Vacuums Take Aim at Eufy and Roborock

Stairs are one of the last big challenges to be overcome by robot vacuums. Cleaning performance is getting better with each new model, for both vacuuming and mopping, and robots are better able to navigate spaces and obstacles. But until now, none have been able to climb stairs. That’s set to change with Eufy’s Marswalkers and Dreame’s new Cyber X concept, which our sister site PCMag was able to see in action at IFA, the tech show in Berlin. “Eufy’s version resembles a space rover, while the Dr

The Dreame X50 Didn’t Just Mop My Floors -- It Outsmarted My Furniture

CNET's key takeaways No robot vacuum has truly solved the challenge of multilevel cleaning without requiring you to physically move it between floors. 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. The whole point of owning a robot vacuum is so you don't have to do the cleaning yourself. But that was never the case at my house -- partly because of what I call my "Ikea chair challenge." I've seen

Beginning 1 September, we will need to geoblock Mississippi IPs

I'll start with the tl;dr summary to make sure everyone sees it and then explain further: As of September 1, we will temporarily be forced to block access to Dreamwidth from all IP addresses that geolocate to Mississippi for legal reasons. This block will need to continue until we either win the legal case entirely, or the district court issues another injunction preventing Mississippi from enforcing their social media age verification and parental consent law against us. Mississippi residents,

Dreame Just Unveiled Affordable Robot Vacuums That Can Climb Over the Threshold Between Rooms. I Saw Them First

Dreame is well known for its robot vacuums, with the Dreame X50 Ultra being one of CNET’s top picks due to its ability to cross obstacles with its lift system and advanced mapping and navigation. This feature, first unveiled at CES 2025, is great if you have thresholds in your home, but it's also costly, running around $1,700 at full price. Dreame’s new L40s lineup aims to make this handy feature more affordable, bringing the lift system to the L40s Ultra and premium navigation and multifloor ma

Review: The Sandman S2 is a classic tragedy, beautifully told

I unequivocally loved the first season of The Sandman, the Netflix adaptation of Neil Gaiman's influential graphic novel series (of which I am longtime fan). I thought it captured the surreal, dream-like feel and tone of its source material, striking a perfect balance between the anthology approach of the graphic novels and grounding the narrative by focusing on the arc of its central figure: Morpheus, lord of the Dreaming. It's been a long wait for the second and final season, but S2 retains al

Apple releases new ‘Here’s to the Dreamers’ wallpaper for iPhone

The World’s First Commercial Spaceplane Won’t Be Launching Anytime Soon

The highly anticipated launch of the Dream Chaser spaceplane may be delayed yet again as Sierra Space continues to test its experimental vehicle. The inaugural Dream Chaser, named Tenacity, is slated for a launch date in 2025. However, recent comments by a NASA official revealed that there’s a lot more work to be done before the spaceplane is ready to fly to the International Space Station and that it’s highly unlikely to meet its deadline. “We still have some of our integrated safety reviews

Is the Dream Chaser space plane ever going to launch into orbit?

When will Sierra Space's winged vehicle, Dream Chaser, finally take flight? Unfortunately, it's still not clear. Almost certainly, however, it won't be this year. The Dream Chaser space plane has now been under development for more than two decades, and it has a huge cult following because its winged shape mimics the iconic Space Shuttle. However, during a recent news briefing, a senior NASA official would only say this about a launch date: "We will be ready for them when they're ready to fly."

Prepare to bid farewell to The Sandman with S2 trailer

The second and final season of The Sandman comes to Netflix next month. Netflix's The Sandman, an exquisite and largely faithful adaptation of Neil Gaiman's beloved graphic novel series, proved to be a hit for the streaming giant, racking up nearly 400 million viewing hours between its release on August 5 and September 18, 2022. Yet there was initially some question about whether even those numbers were strong enough to justify a second season of the critically acclaimed series, which cost a bu

Were it not for Neil Gaiman getting caught up in a sexual misconduct scandal, Netflix’s live-action adaptation of The Sandman comics could have run for much longer given how much source material there is to be pulled from.
