This Is the Best Memory Foam Mattress on Sale for Cyber Monday

Image used with permission by copyright holder

With all due respect, if you’re not sleeping on a multi-layered foam mattress, you’re doing it wrong. A well-made foam mattress contours to your body, reducing pressure on joints; it keeps your spine properly aligned, it helps regulate body heat, and it prevents motion transfer that can disturb a partner. All that can also be summed up a bit more succinctly — it improves your sleep in ways few if any traditional coil spring mattresses can.

On the other hand, if you’re at a loss as to which multi-layer, multi-function foam mattress to choose, what with so many bed-in-a-box brands having sprung up (see what we did there?) in recent years, you’re not alone. One thing all great mattresses have in common is a hefty price tag, except when you shop the best mattress deals on Cyber Monday. And among those that are on sale, several things set Nectar’s memory foam mattress apart, and are worth noting in turn, so let’s go step by step here.

First, a bit of background on Nectar, the company behind the eponymous Nectar Mattress. Founded in NYC and now sold in-person in stores in 49 states and shipping everywhere, this isn’t a company that added foam mattresses to an already-existing product roster, this is a brand that was founded with making a mattress in mind. At one point, the firm was the fastest growing e-commerce company in America, and its mattresses have gotten top reviews from major rating outlets multiple times.

The brand knows sleep hardware, in a nutshell. Now to the Nectar Mattress and why we’re recommending it as a best Cyber Monday mattress deal pick, and that decision goes beyond the approximate $400 savings off the queen sized mattress, not to mention the accessories tossed in, which include a cooling pillow, a sheet set, and a mattress protector.

Let’s start at the bottom, which in this case is a durable mattress cover shaped like a tray into which the other layers of the mattress rest. The bottom cover adds stability and support and prevents the bedding from slipping around, whether it’s on a frame or on the floor.

The next layer up is called the base layer, and it’s the thickest section of the Nectar Mattress. Made from a dense foam, this layer supports everything above it but has enough give to complete the body contouring action of the mattress.

Next up is an “Adaptive Response Transition Layer” which is a firmer foam than most memory foams, so you get support and don’t sink too deeply into the mattress, ensuring proper spinal and joint alignment.

The penultimate layer, working upward, is a breathable and pliant gel memory foam that evenly distributes your weight and adheres to your shape, making the sleeping experience comfortable no matter what that weight and shape may be.

Finally at the top we find a quilted mattress cover featuring thermoregulating Tencel fibers. The cover is soft and inviting and will draw heat away from your body and help you stay cool and comfortable and, most important of all, stay asleep.

An Old School Way to Watch a Classic
Photography, Face, Head

I recently wrote about why every guy should appreciate film noir. At the end, I offered a little advice about how to watch these old movies: Put down your phone. Turn off the lights. Pay attention. It turns out I wasn’t going far enough. Recently, I went to an actual movie theater to see John Huston’s 1948 classic The Treasure of the Sierra Madre on a big screen, surrounded by other people.

No phone. No pausing. No checking email. No fast-forwarding through a slow part or wandering into the kitchen to see what was in the refrigerator. For 126 minutes, I just sat in the dark and watched. What a concept.

Tequila for your next cigar pairing. Cazcanes has the complementary lineup
Cazcanes Bottles Core7s

It’s true that cigars are often paired with whiskey. But it’s also true that it’s not mandatory. If you frequent this space for tips on cigars, you’ll recall that yours truly prefers pairing cigars with coffee and Coca-Cola or Dr Pepper over whiskey and Scotch. That’s just a personal preference. There’s truly no right or wrong way to pair your cigars. Recently, I was offered the chance to pair a cigar with Isle of Skye Whisky’s new Cigar Reserve. I was initially skeptical because whiskey often overpowers my palate. For that tasting, I opted for Altura’s Third Harvest Lancero, and the experience was mind-altering, for the better.

Tequila can offer a similar experience. I had the pleasure of visiting the Cazcanes distillery earlier this year in Amatitán, an hour outside of Guadalajara, Jalisco. I rarely pair cigars with tequila, but when the folks at Cazcanes reached out about their cigar pairing experience, I was intrigued because their tequila lineup is outstanding. Earlier this year, for example, Cazcanes’ Nuestras Raíces earned a perfect 100 score from Wine Enthusiast. It marked the first time the influential drinks magazine awarded a spirit a perfect score in its 46-year history. I was reminded of the exquisite taste late last month after visiting Cazcanes’ booth at the 11th annual Barra México in Mexico City, the biggest cocktail event in Latin America.

The Manual Library: Improvement books every man should read
Furniture, Adult, Male

Men have been thought leaders since the beginning of time. Aristotle’s logic and ethics, Confucius’s social harmony and duty, Machiavelli’s statecraft and political power, Gandhi’s nonviolent resistance and civil rights, Newton’s physics and mathematics- men have been at the forefront of thought at every turn. So why don’t men read more? Sometimes it feels like we have abandoned our place in society’s thought processes. When I ask men around me how much they have read or what they have read recently, I am almost always met with a sheepish look, saying they don’t read, or they mostly read sports columns. Now, there is nothing wrong with reading a sports column. Hell, I love arguing with a baseball writer year-round. But, sometimes, when you read something, you should be staring thoughtfully upward or outward while reflecting inward, wondering how to apply it to your life. That is why I started thinking about what books I would recommend to my friends. Many of them have no idea what the best improvement books are for men. Where they should start. What is worth reading and what is a bunch of bullsh*t.

So I put together a list of books that will change your life, as long as you stare outwardly or upwardly while reflecting inwardly.
