DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress Review: Support and Value

wired.com Julia Forbes 2025-10-02 03:01:00

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

Puffy Cloud Mattress Review: Soft but Supportive

wired.com Julia Forbes 2025-10-16 03:35:00

I will admit that, once upon a time, I was not the Puffy Cloud’s biggest supporter. I’ve tested this memory foam mattress multiple times over my five-year mattress testing career and believed it simply wasn’t for me—too soft, not enough spinal support. Well, times change, don’t they? Granted, during my previous tests, I didn’t spend a whole week sleeping on the Cloud in my own bedroom, as I did this time. I now also consider myself a side sleeper, which has a whole other set of requirements than

Urban Arrow FamilyNext Pro Review: The Perfect Family Bike

wired.com Adrienne So 2025-10-20 11:00:00

How time flies. I first reviewed the original Urban Arrow in 2020, when my kids were 3 and 5. Back then, nothing delighted a couple of preschoolers more than strapping into a big, motorized cargo bike and scooting around town, shrieking, with the wind blowing in their tiny faces. Alas, they are now 8 and 10. When I picked up my 8-year-old two days ago, he crouched down in the box while sitting on the padded seats (with seat belts!) so that none of his friends would see him. All this to say: My

It’s always an exciting day when I get to try out a new mattress brand. Tiami comes from the founder of Leesa, bringing some serious credentials—Leesa’s Sapira Chill is our favorite hybrid mattress. Will Tiami be able to live up to its famous sibling? I’m a certified sleep science coach with more than five and a half years of mattress testing experience, and here are my thoughts after a week of sleeping on this bed.

Scientists unlock secret to thick, stable beer foams

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-28 18:00:59

For many beer lovers, a nice thick head of foam is one of life's pure pleasures, and the longer that foam lasts, the better the beer-drinking experience. A team of Swiss researchers spent seven years studying why some beer foams last longer than others and found that the degree of fermentation—i.e., whether a given beer has been singly, doubly, or triply fermented—is crucial, according to a new paper published in the journal Physics of Fluids. As previously reported, foams are ubiquitous in eve

I was not sure what to expect from Diadem's new BluCore paddle, which is among a handful of new paddles that have replaced the standard honeycomb polymer core with closed-cell foam—they sent me a sample of the stuff, and it looks like you could make a gas station cooler out of it. That foam is substantially more durable—it has a lifetime warranty, in fact—over the long haul and is also not at risk of delaminating in extreme temperatures if, for example, you leave the paddle in the car on a scorc

Regardless of your sleeping position, you need the right accessories to get a restful night's sleep. However, getting a new mattress can be expensive, so a supportive pillow might be a better option. The perfect pillow for back sleepers strikes the right balance between height and firmness. It should be supportive enough to ensure your neck and spine are properly aligned, but not so firm that it leaves you with a stiff neck.

World Curling has tightened its sweeping equipment rules heading into the Olympic season. The move, announced Friday, follows concern over firmer broom foams that many players said gave sweepers too much control. Several high-profile models — including some from Goldline, BalancePlus and Hardline — are now banned. Only brushes with less-firm foam are approved for competition, effective immediately.
