The Best Mattresses for Tall People, You Gentle Green Giant
You may be good in bed—but this stuff will make you (sleep) even better. Full disclosure: I am not a sleep scientist. That said, it seems to me that tall people should need more sleep than normal-sized people, because there is simply physically more of them. It would follow, then, that when local talls aren’t […]
Read MoreThe Best Shorts For Men (Because 2023 Is All About Thighs)
The thing about shorts is that I absolutely hate them. I’m a pants guy through and through, and do my best to stretch out Pants Season (September through May in NYC, IMO) as long as possible.

Read MoreSaatva Classic Mattress Review: It (Actually) Got Rid of My Back Pain
Gotta be honest, folks: I slept on a 3-inch foam roll for about 11 years, and I loved it. Not for any aesthetic reason, or because I thought I was some sort of cool nomad, but because, my god, did sleeping on a hard, flat surface make my back feel good. However, my days of […]

Read MoreThis Puffer Tote Is the Absolute Perfect Bag for Air Travel
What is a “personal item?” If, like me, you travel a lot and are jetlagged a solid 47% of the time, you probably think of it as “the largest bag I can aggressively stuff under the seat in front of me on a JetBlue flight,” but technically, it can be a lot of things—say, a […]
