Early Prime Day Deal: Save 10% on Original Casper Pillow

Image used with permission by copyright holder

Just one day from the official Prime Day and we’re seeing some really tempting Prime Day deals that can extend to every part of our lives — work, entertainment, home — including the bedroom. We’re seeing a flood of Prime Day mattress sales with everything from food processors to pressure cookers going on sale. Right now, you can

save 10%

on an Original Casper Pillow that’s both comfy and supportive. It’s down to $59, from its regular piece of $65. That’s a deal we could really curl up with.

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.

You season 5: Everything we know so far
Are you excited for season 5 of You?
you season 5 4

When it comes to shows that you can shut your brain off and just enjoy a thrill ride of exciting twists and passionate romance, Netflix's crime drama You fits the bill. Starting out on Lifetime and based on a novel by Caroline Kepnes, You stars Penn Badgley as a serial killer who just wants to find love . . . but those aspirations are often overtaken by his bloodier, more morbid desires. The show resembles a more lightweight, sexy version of Dexter or Hannibal and has attracted several different audiences since its inception in 2018.

You may be a roller coaster ride, but it also gets into a repetitive cycle of storytelling each season. Each season Badgley's Joe Goldberg meets a new love interest, explores a different city, and then runs away for a fresh start before repeating the plot over again. This makes the news of the fifth season being the last all the more enticing. This allows the crew behind the scenes to go out with a bang and escape the familiarity of the plot lines from the past couple of seasons. This is everything we know so far about You season 5 on Netflix!
What will You season 5 be about?
You season 5 will pick up in New York after season 4 took place in London. Joe and Kate are still together after the death of Kate's father. They will try to manage Joe's attempts to accept his psychotic urges while also blending back into American life and society. It looks like Joe will go back to working in a library or bookstore again as he gets to know more of Kate's family members. The final season needs to address whether Joe will ever be able to live normally as a serial killer, or whether he is doomed to be consumed by his murderous background.
Who will star in You season 5?

Can you bring cigars on a plane, and what’s the best way to travel?
Inside of a plane with screens on from can you bring cigars on a plane.

Over the last couple of years, I have traveled quite a bit. I've been on family cruises; I've traveled by plane for a funeral, to visit friends and family, and for other reasons. Everywhere I go, I usually pack and bring some smokes with me. Because of the strict TSA and carry-on rules, you might think that it's not okay to bring cigars or that you'll almost certainly lose them. That's not the case at all, and I've pretty much perfected the art of bringing my favorite hobby along. Pull up a seat, grab a cold beverage, light your favorite cigar, and let's talk.
Can you bring cigars on a plane?

According to the TSA, yes, it's acceptable to bring cigars in carry-on bags and checked bags. So, yes, you can bring cigars on a plane. However, the TSA resource does mention that "the final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint." To translate that, it means that they could potentially confiscate your cigars based on their own discretion. You can politely debate allowed items, hoping the TSA agent might see reason, but again, they always have the final decision.

Want to get into photography? The Canon EOS R100 is $200 off today
Canon EOS R100 mirrorless camera with lens attached

For some, it might be hard to justify a dedicated camera purchase, because nearly every modern phone has a built-in camera. If you intend to take professional-quality photos, however, phone cameras really won't do. The problem is that trying to break into the world of photography can be very, very expensive. That's why it's always good to start with a beginner-friendly camera until you learn the ropes. The Canon EOS R100 is an excellent novice and intermediate-level camera, and it's on sale today at Target. Normally $600, you're saving $200 as part of this deal, which means you're getting the camera for $400. That really is an incredible offer that we've seen come and go recently, and we're mighty glad it's back.

 
Why shop this Canon EOS R100 deal with a lens kit at Target?
So, what does this camera have going for it? Why is it such a good option for beginner to intermediate photographers? Besides the fact that Canon is an excellent brand -- and a staple in the photography world -- it has some great specs, but more importantly, it's user-friendly and intuitive to configure. That might not seem like much until you're out in the field trying to snap some incredible pics and you have full access to the settings and features.
