Talking Carts 6: Don't Sleep on Rest

Main theme: Are you one of the nearly 40 percent of Americans who feel tired most days of the week? 

In this episode of the “Talking Carts” podcast, hosts Tanya Christian, senior home and appliances writer at CR, and Brian Vines, marketplace equity reporter at CR, pull back the covers on how the $585 billion global “sleep economy” is selling the dream of a good night’s rest. We’ll help separate the sleep products truly worth spending on from those you can put on snooze. As CR’s resident sleep expert, Tanya answers rapid-fire questions on everything from foam vs. hybrid mattresses to thread count myths to what types of pillows are best depending on your sleeping position. We’ll also tell you about exclusive, CR member-only deals that can cut the cost of your mattress, pillow, or bedding by as much as 40 percent!

And we’ll be joined by sleep specialist Christopher J. Allen, MD, social media’s @sleepdrchris, who shares tips on no-cost sleep upgrades, offers advice on factors we often overlook in the quest for better rest, and more.

Whether you’re tired of waking up more exhausted than when you went to bed or you simply want to learn the best time of year to buy a mattress, listen in and discover why being well rested is the new flex.
