In a time of great uncertainty about international trade, mattresses are one purchase you can make without losing sleep. Because they're large and heavy, roll-packed bed-in-a-box mattresses are relatively expensive to ship. And because they shouldn't be left compressed for too long, reputable makers try to avoid shipping them over the ocean. This means that even in this (possibly waning) era of international manufacturing, most mattresses are a domestic product. WIRED has a guide to the best ma

The Nintendo Switch 2 could be considered the most direct "sequel" to a Nintendo console that the company has ever made. The lineage is right there in the name, with Nintendo simply appending the number "2" onto the name of its incredibly successful previous console for the first time in its history. Nintendo's previous consoles have all differed from their predecessors in novel ways that were reflected in somewhat new naming conventions. The Switch 2's name, on the other hand, suggests that it
