Sleep through the night on an Eve mattress

As you probably know, we spend most of our lives in bed.

Are you wondering just how much? The answer is about ⅓. That’s right, if we live to be 75, we’ll probably have spent about 25 years of it sleeping in bed. We also all know that quality sleep is key to your health. We can’t tell you how many nights we’ve spent in bed, tossing and turning, counting sheep, our minds racing, doing just about everything we can think of to fall asleep. The mattress you sleep on makes a huge difference. Like Goldilocks, we want one that’s not too soft, or too hard, but one that’s just right.

The folks over at Eve know all about the notion of just right, and we’re not just talking about the mattress itself. The price is also just right. That’s because they sell to consumers directly from the factory. Since they only sell online, they avoid the additional costs that retailers pass on to the customers. They can use luxury materials, but still keep the prices down. What’s great about Eve mattresses is that they contour with the shape of your body. It’s not so soft that your sink down, and it’s not so hard that it feels like you’re lying down on a stiff board. It’s just right. They layer breathable memory foam and a unique comfort layer to keep the body cool, perfectly aligned, and so comfortable that you’ll fall asleep in a pinch!

We tested out the Eve mattress, and it’s everything we hoped it would be and more. Insomnia occurs regularly in our world, and this mattress made all the difference. Sleep came in an instant and we slept through the night. The mattress was so comfortable that we didn’t wake up once. Every night that we slept on it was just like that. No tossing and turning, no waking up in the middle of the night, just comfortable, restful sleep. Our days were more productive, our bodies didn’t ache, and basically, life was good. If you’re in the market for a new, quality mattress that won’t break the bank, go for Eve. It will do you wonders.

Cigar Lounge Spotlight: The Flama Cabana in Key West, Florida
Ashtray, Person

Welcome to the inaugural Cigar Lounge Spotlight at The Manual, where every Friday I’ll aim to bring you some of the best cigar lounges in the country. Yours truly travels a lot for a living, and during that time, I’ve ensconced myself in local cigar lounges in the cities I visit when the opportunity arises. While many of my dispatches here will include cigar lounges I’ve visited during my time as a longtime sportswriter — and in my current capacity as a travel and lifestyle writer —  this space will also feature lounges I’d love to visit one day, perhaps on my next trip.

Such is the case with The Flama Cabana at Havana Cabana Key West Hotel in Key West, Florida. There’s no better way to kick off this series than with a cigar lounge in the Southernmost Point of the United States, a mere 90 miles from cigar heaven, Cuba.

The guilty pleasure movie: Which ones you should watch without the guilt
Adult, Male, Man

There are great movies, and then there are movies you love. The two categories overlap, obviously. The Godfather is both. So is Jaws. But there are also great movies that you are “supposed” to like even though they bore the hell out of you. Or movies that you endure because they are the favorite of your wife or girlfriend.   

But another class of movie may be even more important to our everyday entertainment: the guilty pleasure movie. You know the type. You’re flipping channels—or scrolling through whatever has replaced channel surfing—and suddenly discover that The Rock started 45 minutes ago. It doesn’t matter. You know what happened during those 45 minutes. You know what happens next. You know half the dialog.

You can now live like a true James Bond villain…minus the evil lair
Outdoors, Nature, Scenery

James Bond is a staple of pop culture. He is all over The Manual because of his impact on the style, spirits, and travel industries. That also means that there are suits he wears people emulate, there are cocktails he drinks people want to try, and there are destinations people want to experience. When I was in Monaco for the Formula 1 race, I was taken aback by how many people wanted to go to the “James Bond Casino,” where Brosnan’s Bond met Xenia Onatopp for the first time in Goldeneye.

Now, Bond is infiltrating the real estate market as the villa from the ending of Casino Royale is now somewhere you can live. When Mr. White (Jesper Christensen) returns home after the events of the film, he stands admiring the view of his (assumed) villa before getting a bullet in the knee. This is the moment when Craig’s Bond utters his famous line for the first time, “Bond, James Bond.” Now, the entire property on the Lake Como estate isn’t for sale, but you can buy an apartment with five rooms on the ground floor, with two bedrooms, a study, and two bathrooms spread across two levels. All you need is to contact Sotheby’s with a meager $1.5 million.
