Welcome to More Than Mattresses.
More Than Mattresses is a sleep-centric Substack brought to you by a professional mattress tester. Each week explores a different theme, as you’ll see below. But first, you may be asking…
Who are you anyway?
I’m a writer and editor specializing in product reviews and commerce content. I’ve been in this field for almost two full decades, but five years ago, I tested my very first mattress for Tom’s Guide (the Tuft & Needle Original Mattress). Since then, I’ve expanded my repertoire to include stories about sleep from multiple angles. After all, it’s something we all do (and need)!
You’ll find my byline at Tom’s Guide, TechRadar, Homes and Gardens, The Strategist, Mashable, HGTV, and Forbes Vetted (despite what Google wants you to think about that last one).
Visit my website to learn more about me and the work I do.
