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.

Why John Ford’s Westerns Get Better as You Get Older

There are worse ways to spend an evening than watching John Wayne stop a stagecoach.

He stands in the road, saddle slung over one arm, spinning a Winchester as the camera rushes toward him. It is an entrance worthy of a movie star, and in Stagecoach, you can practically watch Wayne become one. Before he has done much of anything, you want to know where he is going. You would probably go with him.

Cigar Lounge Spotlight: Española Cigar Bar & Lounge in Miami Beach

I was at Española Cigar Bar & Lounge in Miami Beach earlier this year when the idea for this weekly spotlight first came to mind. I was in town to interview Floyd Mayweather Jr. at a yacht party that turned out to be as bombastic as the 15-time world champion himself. The trip kicked off with dinner at Claudie for a taste of the French Riviera. I was whisked into the restaurant’s private dining room, where guests included a slew of GNC executives, former NBA players, and Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr.

After five or so Old Fashioneds, three of us decided to keep the night going, and we were all in the mood for stogies, which is always a great idea during one of Miami’s muggy nights. Española Cigar Bar & Lounge was the place to be, and if you’ve ever walked Española Way on a Friday night, you understand why.

Feeling stuck or behind? Here are the five days you need to schedule every month

It feels like every single month, when the calendar turns over (figuratively speaking, unless you still have a physical calendar), there is no way it is already the first of a new month. It can feel like you are stuck in the middle of a grind, that you are behind on everything, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t catch up. Or even move forward. That can weigh on you. Just like a new year creates new motivations, new planning, and new goals, you can break the months into smaller scales.

Your monthly calendar (and even further, going to the week) should reflect the things you want to accomplish. And, if you are feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like you are falling behind, here are five non-negotiable days you should set up every single month to set you up for climbing out of your funk.
