Bear Mattress: Soothing You to Sleep

By Marla Milling Sep 13, 2016 12:39 PM

If you’ve ever crawled into bed with aching muscles after a satisfying workout, you may have wished for a mattress that could soothe your pain. Actually, it’s not a wish anymore. Scott Paladini, founder and CEO of Bear Mattress, claims his company offers a mattress so advanced it helps people sleep better and have faster recovery time from the aches and pains of training or living a healthy, active lifestyle.

Here’s the secret: each mattress is designed with Celliant responsive textile technology. Paladini explains how it works. “Our cover uses the Celliant technology, which is a mineral woven into a thread. It takes radiant heat from your body while you sleep and recirculates it back into your body which helps the oxygenization of your blood, which, helps you recover from workouts quicker and get relief from aches and pains. Then we have a really cool advanced foam—it’s a graphite gel infused foam that’s up to seven times cooler than traditional foam. It’s really about sleeping cool and regulating the temperature of your body.”.

They have a showroom in Hoboken, NJ, but they ship all over the country through their website. A lot of people are in the habit of lying down on a mattress for a few seconds before they make a purchase, but with Bear Mattress there’s a better way. “We give customers 100 nights as a risk free trial,” said Paladini. “Sleep on it for 100 nights. If you don’t like it, we’ll come pick it up and refund it 100 percent.”

Paladini feels confident that when people understand the sleep difference for themselves, they’ll never part with their bear mattress. Each mattress is shipped in a box, with all sizes ranging in price from $650 to $1000. Everything is made in the U.S. and each mattress is backed with a 10-year warranty. The price is low because they are selling direct to the consumer and cutting out the unnecessary costs of having retail store middlemen.

“I’m very familiar with the mattress world,” he said. “My family has been in the business for more than 30 years. I was born into it,” says Paladini proudly.

We’re only a few months away from our new Bond, Producer Amy Pascal teases

Clothing, Shirt, Adult

Since Daniel Craig bit the big one in his James Bond swan song in 2021’s No Time to Die, fans have been waiting to find out who the next person to drink the martini shaken instead of stirred will be. In true Bond fandom fashion, a whole slew of fancasts have started to muddle the waters as to who could possibly be the new 007. Callum Turner, Jacob Elordi, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and more have all been pitched as possible replacements. Some more ethnically diverse options like Henry Golding and Rene Jean-Page have also emerged. But, alas, no word has come down from on high to give us the scratch to this fan itch raging on for the last five years. That is, until Producer Amy Pascal sat down during her Spider-Man: Brand New Day press tour and gave a bit of insight on when we can expect an announcement, and also what we can expect in the cast.

I would say the end of the year is a good bet. We are being really, really methodical. – Amy Pascal

Elevate your elegance: Choosing your first cigar

Face, Head, Person

Earlier this year, I was strolling the streets of New York and ended up sitting in the Carnegie Club with an Old Fashioned in one hand and a cigar in the other while My Way by Frank Sinatra played from a speaker flanking leather-bound books behind the couch I had been using as my perch. It was my first cigar, but it led to a slight obsession that recently found me on the back deck of a lodge in Kenya, staring at Mount Kilimanjaro and smoking a stick while giraffes meandered by. Admittedly, there has been no intention in my budding hobby; I am aimlessly choosing the cigars that look good (the ones that look like those smoked by Arnold or Stallone in the movies, obviously). But I have decided to approach these in a new way, with a little help from my friends over at La Aurora, who graciously decided to navigate my ignorance with some info compiled by Brand Manager John Gaglio, with input from Master Blender Manuel Ynoa, CEO Ed McKenna, and Brand Manager Elvis Batista.

FIFA’s Gianni Infantino Is Uglifying the Beautiful Game With $20 Billion Plot — But the Global Soccer Community’s Punching Back

People, Person, Crowd

For the better part of two decades, perhaps even more, corruption has allegedly run rampant within FIFA. Sepp Blatter, in particular, became the face of alleged extortion schemes, and he operated with impunity while at the helm of the organization for 17 years, from 1998 until his forced resignation in 2015 amid an FBI corruption probe. He’s banned for life from all football-related FIFA activities. If you’re new to the organization’s alleged deep connection to corruption, Netflix offers a brilliant 2022 documentary, FIFA Uncovered. In that documentary, Gianni Infantino appears in his previous capacity as Secretary General of UEFA (2009-2016) and later as the newly elected FIFA president, who vowed to root out corruption and hand the beautiful game back to the people where it belongs.

That, as it turns out, was all wishful thinking.
