The Coolest Pieces of Gear We Tested This Week

A bed that’s too soft or unsupportive and envelops you in a stifling cocoon—those are my two bugaboos when it comes to mattresses. I sleep hot and have low-back issues, but I was pleasantly surprised after testing Mlily’s Fusion Luxe mattress. The company, which has partnered with Manchester United to boost athletes’ recovery, has what it likes to call 12.5” of performance layers nestled within the mattress. Its base has a sturdy flex foam to create a supportive foundation, as well as a flex border meant to distribute your body weight and ease pressure. This is a hybrid mattress, meaning it has foam and, in this case, 1,000 pocket springs, which keep you from sinking into the mattress. A zoned foam sits on top of the coils to provide steady airflow—really nice if you sleep like a rock and tend to stay in the same spot. Next is a smart latex foam that really hugs the contours of your body. And finally, there’s a foam engineered to regulate temperature and a cooling knit fabric to ensure this puppy stays cool. And it does. My spine also felt properly aligned when sleeping on my back. Another added bonus: It ships in a box. It’s compressed and rolled—just make sure you have some extra hands as it’s pretty heavy. — Brittany Smith, Senior Editor
