In 2014, Casper upended the entire mattress and bedding world with its direct-to-consumer foam mattress, delivered (all rolled up into an unimaginably compact cylinder) right to your door; no fuss no muss. The brand has followed that model with its pillows, offering you, “A great sleep, simplified” as the company likes to put it.

With the Casper Original Pillow, what you really get are two pillows in one. Casper’s design wizards innovated a pillow that begins with a supportive smaller pillow — the kind that’s perfect for sitting up and reading in bed, or ideal if you like a stiffer pillow on which to sleep (it’s good for building forts, too) — and then placed it inside an outer pillow that is softer and fluffier. What you get in this sensuous shell game is the benefit of both kinds of pillow in one thoughtfully designed, elegant looking, simple pillow.

Casper’s Original Pillow design also features a 2-inch gusset along the side. What’s a gusset you ask? Think of a Chelsea boot. That expandable, elastic patch on the ankle of the boot that allows pliability, roominess and more action — that’s a gusset. And it acts the same on Casper’s Original Pillow, giving your neck better alignment options and letting the down-alternative filled inside of the pillow be more evenly distributed. It’s like a desk organizer for your pillow’s contents.

And those contents, the down-alternative fiber cluster, is maybe the single most important factor in the pillow’s quality. At Casper, they road-tested (or sleep-tested) pillow after pillow until they found a filler material that surpassed all other. Some will swear that you cannot beat real down, but Casper thinks it has surpassed that principle with its technologically advanced down-alternative fiber cluster, which is individually blown into the cover. What this does is prevent your pillow from clumping up, which means less fluffing, and more sleeping, for you.

This pillow’s cover is also 100% cotton, which is absolutely essential to having a good night’s sleep. The key here is its construction in a breathable percale weave. This kind of weave allows more air to breathe through the material, which will result in you keeping cooler and having a better rest.

Attractive and comfy, Casper’s Original Pillow is, not to put too fine a point on it, the pillow of your dreams. In anticipation of Prime Day,  you can save 10% . An Original Pillow is down to $59, from its regular piece of $65.

Don’t ruin your cigars: here’s how to properly season a new humidor
Seasoning secrets every cigar lover could use

If you're a newcomer to the world of cigars or just bought a brand-new humidor, you'll need to season it. And no, I'm not saying to add salt and pepper to it. If you've never heard of it, you might ask, "What is seasoning for a humidor?"

Don't think you need to flavor the box or anything — seasoning is really about getting the wood inside your humidor so as not to rob your cigars of precious moisture. Easy to understand, and getting it done is relatively straightforward as well. The trick is figuring out the "why," and we'll get into that in a bit. But let's first discuss seasoning a humidor.

The NBA’s ultimate celebration tool: The victory cigar
A look at the players and coaches who smoke to celebrate

Sports are synonymous with celebration. After winning the biggest trophy of their lives, athletes want to indulge in the payoff that comes with seeing their dreams realized. Teams go into the locker room, where a waterfall of champagne hits them in the eyes, and swimming goggles seem to be a requirement, lest you walk around on the best night of your life half blind. While drinking is often the activity of choice after winning a championship, the NBA has an alternative symbol of greatness that other sports don't use nearly enough: the victory cigar.

Basketball is a team game, but it's also an individual canvas for solo superstardom. After winning an NBA championship, the coaches and players who sit atop the throne have long smoked a cigar in the locker room, during the parade, or even on the bench before the clock has hit zero. There's nothing quite like a good stogie to signify the ultimate win over the rest of the league, but how did the victory cigar get so ingrained in NBA championship celebrations? We want to take a walk down memory lane and look at some of the historical moments and people who made the cigar what it is within the NBA today.

The best medical shows of all time to binge now
From ER to The Pitt, these are the best medical shows ever made
Noah Wyle in the Pitt

Throughout TV's long history, the medical drama has occupied a somewhat unique place in the landscape. Medical shows are often some of the most reliable on TV precisely because there's so much drama built in to working in a hospital.

Personally, I've found the medical drama to be deeply comforting for years, even if I have no desire to be a doctor myself. Understanding the stress of people in the healthcare profession is fascinating in and of itself.
