Skinny Bitch, for those who aren’t already aware of the diet craze from last decade, is a diet book written by former modelling agent Rory Freedman and former model Kim Barnouin. The book, which advocates […]

Paul Uyesaka, center, holds a plaque Oct. 17, 2018, commemorating his brother Sgt. Robert Uyesaka, one of 16 Green Berets killed in an attack on their base in Vietnam on Aug. 23, 1968.

Gen. Eldon Bargewell to his right, and his daughter Brooke speaking with retired Command Sgt. Maj. Robert "Spider" Parks to his left. Dianna Cahn/Stars and Stripes

In 2004, Takaoka’s uncle handed him the reins of the factory, which was making injection molding equipment for fishing lines and nets. Takaoka was also running a power distribution equipment maker he had inherited from his father in 1998 at the age of 37.

Sleep gadgets have an entire universe of their own. The Motiv ring is a “stylish” fitness and sleep tracker that sells for $200. Beddr’s SleepTuner, a $150 sleep tracker coming out this October, is the size of a stamp and is worn on the forehead; it’s already been listed by the FDA as an item that understands sleep. Fitbit’s wearables now track sleep and pledge to diagnose issues, and Apple’s iOS gives the iPhone several ways to track sleep too. (Last year, Apple also quietly bought Beddit, a Finnish sleep tracking hardware company that makes a $150 sensor you place under your mattress.)

Though last time I flew JAL first class they were pouring Salon 2006 champagne, this time around, they were stocking two other famous labels: 2009 Louis Roederer Cristal and 2006 Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill. I tried both, natch, along with amuse bouches of smoked fish and prosciutto with mozzarella on canapés.

“My boyfriend and I love our new mattress; compared to our old one, it is so much more comfortable. If you are someone who likes a harder, firmer mattress, this mattress is not for you. Neither my boyfriend nor I have ever been a fan of firm mattresses, so I’m glad this one ended up working for us. This mattress is just right. It’s not too soft where you sink in, but it feels like you’re sleeping on a cloud — and it does actually sleep a lot cooler than any other foam mattresses I have had in the past, so I think it’s safe to say the ‘cooling gel’ actually works! I highly recommend this mattress to anyone who isn’t fond of ‘firm,’ but still wants great back support.”

“You cannot buy sleep itself, but you must pay for the circumstances likely to induce it,” the Guardian writes. “Overcrowded, noisy, cold or unsafe housing makes sleep harder. So does shift work — especially if it is casualised and unpredictable. Poor nutrition and stress also take their toll. We fret about reaching for our smartphone at night, while those making the devices sleep on hard beds in shared dormitories with coworkers clattering to and fro.”

Completely organic materials are prohibitively expensive for many consumers and the length of supply chains varies dramatically. These two factors, along with certifications, are the most important to our general ranking of the companies. As noted, we’ll break out the top five options for different types of buyers in future articles. This ranking looks at the overall performance of each company and is not based on price.

The kickoff to this year of change was the Winter Las Vegas Market last January. That’s when the Pompano Beach, Florida-based company rolled out an ambitious brand repositioning that has touched virtually every aspect of its business. The result of a comprehensive brand audit, Blu Sleep’s repositioning has included a realignment of the company’s product line, a redesign of its flagship showroom in Las Vegas, a refresh of its website and a host of other updates aimed at strengthening the company’s competitive position.

Keetsa makes a wide range of mattresses, but offers no supply chain information and does not haul away old mattresses in most states. The company “decided to take the most comfortable and durable materials we could find to create the most comfortable and affordable mattress we could make in an eco-friendly way.” Keetsa is the only company in the reviewed group that does not use 100 percent natural latex, using a “biofoam” that includes petroleum products. Without additional disclosure about its materials sourcing, Keetsa’s sustainability cannot be validated. The company does not offset its supply chain or manufacturing emissions.

"The majority of those think the materials used in their mattress contribute to the comfort," he said. "More than 40 percent look at foam beds as best at delivering comfort, although only 20-25 percent actually use foam beds today. This trend is driving towards more foam."
