Butterfly Sleep Pillow Review: Fly into Better Sleep!

I don’t always sleep well. Every fitness tracker I’ve ever tested has given me poor marks for being flail-y while I sleep. All this was compounded by having to sleep on my back after surgery last year, which led me to realize I needed to up my pillow game. The Butterfly Sleep Pillow promises to be the pillow for any kind of sleeper, so of course, I had to give them a true torture test by using it for my rather disjointed sleep experience!

Withings ScanWatch Nova Review: The Ultimate Dive-Style Hybrid Watch Gets Even Better

In 2022, I reviewed the Withings ScanWatch Horizon. I called it the perfect combination of the chunky stainless diving-style watches that I love with the added benefit of accurate, advanced health-metrics tracking that even the most expensive diving-style watches can’t provide. Two years later, the Horizon has been refreshed as the Withings ScanWatch Nova. As you’ll see, the Nova is a very handsome hybrid smartwatch that gathers accurate health-tracking metrics while looking stylish. But, of course, Withings has added even more features to make the latest luxury ScanWatch even more compelling.

Emma Original Mattress Review: Offers Great Value and a Good Night’s Sleep

Nine years ago, I needed a new mattress. That led to my first experience with a “bed in a box,” and I was impressed. Raina and I have tried a few different mattresses in the years since. But over time, one or the other of us has found faults with whatever mattress we were using, even if the other was sleeping okay on it. We’re optimistic that our latest, the Emma Original Mattress, will finally give us both a great night’s sleep.
