SHOPPINGConsumer Reports finds the best mattresses online Should you buy your next mattress online? Consumer Reports' latest tests of 38 queen-size mattresses include a few that are sold primarily on the Internet. The prices aren't bad, but how risky is it to buy a mattress sight unseen? Consumer Reports has long said that the best way to make sure you get a mattress you like is to try it in the store, but what if you don't want the hassle of shopping at a store and you'd rather buy online?Consumer Reports tested two queen-size foam mattresses primarily sold on the Internet: The Casper, which costs $850, and the foam Tuft & Needle Ten, which costs $600.Consumer Reports tests mattresses for a number of performance criteria, including how well a mattress can hold up to eight years of simulated use, how much support you get on your side and on your back, and if the mattress resists bouncing, so it doesn't transfer vibrations from one side to the other.
Through their tests, the organization found out that some of the mattresses sold online are pretty impressive."The Casper memory-foam mattress got high scores for back and side support, and it resists bouncing, so you're less likely to wake up your partner," said Chris Regan of Consumer Reports. The online company also offers a 100-day trial period. If you don't like the mattress, Casper will pick it up for free and refund your money.As for the $600 Tuft & Needle mattress, Consumer Reports calls it a bargain buy."It held up nicely in our durability test, same as The Casper, and it offers decent side and back support," Regan said.Tuft & Needle's return policy isn't as generous - 30 days instead of 100. But Consumer Reports says a month is plenty of time to decide if you like it, plus returns are free.If you buy a mattress in a store and want to return it, you often have to pay for shipping or a restocking fee.Both the Tuft & Needle Ten and The Casper mattresses are made of foam.If you prefer an innerspring mattress, Consumer Reports found some best buys: the Charles P. Rodgers St. Regis Pillowtop for $1,100 and the Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid Trust Cushion for about $1,200.

It is intimate, sweaty, cramp-inducing and uncomfortable. They call it 'Spooning'.In the old days, the most common question to be asked on location-based instant gay dating applications was: do you top or a bottom? (Nothing to do with buses). Now, it's: are you a big spoon or a little spoon? To which, I am forced to reply: Versatile.The other day I asked my colleague what she loved most about her new boyfriend. 'Oh,' she said, 'It's just nice to go to bed after a long, stressful day and just chat and spoon'...*Blank face. Walk away.*What the hell are we coming to? What is this obsession with spooning all of a sudden? Perhaps, in all future encounters, we should leave the lubricants behind and just bring hot milk, teddy bears and jim-jams.I actually receive regular messages from people I have never met saying: Hey. Has the government started putting unicorn fluff in the water? Is the whole of society doing one huge sexual Benjamin Button?I can't imagine a less comfortable way of sleeping than pressed up against another person's big, sweaty body with my left arm wedged under their shoulder and my nethers being regularly warmed by their nighttime bum-whispers.
The last time I found myself playing the big spoon, the guy fell asleep straight away and I was left trapped, debating whether I should wake him up or start cutting through my forearm with my swiss army knife like in 127 Hours. In the end, I just lay there for hours, feeling my arm slowly wither and die. By the next morning it was nothing more than a numb lump of flesh much like Liza Minnelli.The spooning position you take doesn't seem to be dictated by your height. I recently had a man the size of an elf insist that he was the big spoon. I looked at him. I waited for the laughter. I'm 6 foot 2. He was so short, hedgehogs would kick him in the face. When we spooned it was like wearing a bustle. I now know what eucalyptus trees feel like. My new favourite phrase.I guess there's something nice about that feeling of security, warmth and togetherness but really, I need my space! My sleeping position is loose and expressive. It is a violent nighttime dance; a mix of Rambert and kickboxing. I am a squashed badger.
I am a worm on a hook. I am a prawn. I am a starfish. I am the chalk line where the victim fell. My sleep is kinetic and there's the serious risk I might inadvertently impale my sleeping partner with a hypnic jerk.To channel my favourite philosopher, Carrie Bradshaw....last night, as I lay in bed with my body pressed against the back of a near-stranger like an incestuous foetal twin I got to thinking: if he's spooning me, does that make me his yoghurt?Perhaps spooning is an evolutionary quirk, dating back to the days when Homo sapiens were forced to live in drafty makeshift shacks with no heating, just like the working class elderly today. Or does the desire to spoon come from a psychological need to make manifest, our security and spiritual bondage?Spooning doesn't, in reality, make us safe of course. The Romans might have practiced the turtle, but they never attempted the shielded spoon. Nonetheless, I admit there is some sense of security to be gained from nestling into another person's cosy nook.
