Your mattress, demystified | Derek Hales

from Pneuma with Daniel Finneran · host Daniel Finneran

Derek Hales is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Nap Lab. Nap Lab is a mattress review site on which all the mystifying jargon and hyped-up claims put out there by the industry are put to the test. For over a decade, Derek and his team have meticulously inspected over 500 beds. On each and every one, they perform 10 rigorous assessments, from which they gather some 64 points of data.Equipped with this data, you can make better-informed decisions about what bed you'd like to buy. More important, in my opinion, is Derek’s commitment to three things: Simplicity, transparency, and honesty. If you’re in the market for a new mattress, a visit to Nap Lab is a vital prerequisite to making the big purchase. https://naplab.com/ Link to the  Fast Company article mentioned in the intro:  https://www.fastcompany.com/3065928/sleepopolis-casper-bloggers-lawsuits-underside-of-the-mattress-warsAs for me, I’d love to hear your thoughts.Send them to [email protected]
