Want to nap on the job? Mattress Firm is looking for a professional ‘snoozetern’ | Aloe Vera Memory Foam Mattress

Sleep has been around since the beginning of time. But the category that set off the sleep boom was mattresses — specifically direct-to-consumer mattress companies like Casper, Leesa, and Tuft & Needle, which has had McKinsey proclaiming that “there are billions of dollars stuffed into the mattress!”

Since then, Yoshida has received a flood of requests from companies and schools to give lectures. In the past couple of years, he has visited hundreds of venues for lectures and other activities.

Since the pocketed coils react individually, it is necessary to have the higher count for complete support and a full contour. With Bonnell, the coils work as a group since they are laced together with the joining wire. Pressure on one of the larger coils dissipates through the joining wire and releases into adjacent coils.

The Allswell hybrid mattress arrived at our doorstep vacuum sealed and rolled into a cardboard box. While not especially light (it is a mattress after all), it wasn’t so heavy that my boyfriend couldn’t carry the box to our upstairs bedroom. From there, all it took was a pair of scissors to carefully open the box and slice through the plastic wrapping once the mattress was unrolled — easily a one-person job. As soon as the plastic was cut into, the mattress began to decompress, so I quickly removed the plastic wrap to allow it to do its thing. It can take a day or so for the Allswell hybrid to get to its full size, but we found it took shape quickly once removed from the packaging.

Because the springs move as one unit, you’re more likely to be disturbed by your partner moving around during the night. The coils in these mattresses wear out more quickly than pocket springs, so you’re likely to end up rolling together eventually.

The growing trend for bed-in-a-box products is disrupting the market significantly. Sold online and delivered compressed and ready to burst out of their vacuum packaging once they reach their new home, bed-in-a-box mattresses are taking an increasingly substantial slice of the market.

Previously, the company sought to tap this market with a string of acquisitions of e-commerce brands like Bonobos, which sells hip men’s clothes.

A 2014 study by the media outlet Fusion found that 1 in 500 detainees is transgender, and that on any given night, 75 transgendered people were in US border detention centers.

One heartening change is increasing recognition of the specific needs of LGBTQ refugees at the national governmental level.

"I think Casper is the reason why they are in this position," Casper CEO Philip Krim said Friday. "Casper has really pushed the industry to reinvent itself. We continue to give the customer what they want, and that’s not how the incumbents in this space operated."

In the company’s mattresses, the Air Pod base layer features air channels that run left to right and head to toe. The design helps dissipate any built-up heat and humidity, according to Dell’Accio, so that “sleepers enjoy that same feel and comfort throughout the night, regardless of temperature.”

“It gives you an independent sleep surface with no motion transfer,” says Martin Wolfson, president of Alvarado, Texas-based Texas Pocket Springs.
