I test mattresses (and other products) at WIRED Reviews.

Online presence is either sleep products or food; there is no in between.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day

This post got some heat yesterday. When discussing a sale, I will be intentional about what I recommend. I have a lot of sleep issues due to chronic illness (ironic, given my line of work). Manta’s truly been ol’ reliable for me—I look like the human fly wearing it, but it WORKS. #smallbusiness

Durability and longevity are crucial to me when I buy something—like many of you, I conduct intensive research into seemingly the most mundane things. With this in mind, here’s our “Buy It For Life” product guide on products that impressed my team and me. www.wired.com/story/buy-it...

Quick PSA! When you click on our articles to learn more about something, you’ll notice multiple options to buy. So while Amazon is listed, you don’t have to use that link. We try to find the best prices possible across the board. This isn’t exclusive to APD; it’s a regular practice that we do.

Something I steadfastly live by (and aim to both test and then write about) is investing in products that last for the long haul. One such product is my KitchenAid stand mixer. I made this initially for APD; don’t come for me. These kitchen appliances are renowned for longevity and quality.
