This week's episode is brought to you by Casper. Casper is an online retailer offering premium

mattresses for a fraction of the price. The mattress industry has for a very long time,

force consumers into paying notoriously high markups with resaylers and showrooms all

taking their cut along the way. Casper is revolutionizing the system by offering obsessively

engineered mattresses at a shockingly fair price. Made in America, these mattresses combine

two technologies, latex foam and memory foam that provide just the right sink and just

the right bounce and come together for better nights and brighter days.

By cutting out all the middlemen, you can get a twin for $500 for a king for just $950

and if you've ever gone out mattress shopping, you know those are some pretty outstanding

prices. On top of that, this is all risk-free. You can try sleeping on a Casper for 100

days and if for some crazy reason you don't like it, you can just return it and pay nothing.

I of course now have a Casper mattress of my own and the whole family approves. Mrs.

Revolutions and I have slept great and the boy has put it through a fairly rigorous product

testing program that involves jumping onto it, jumping off of it and then just sort of

jumping around on it and he couldn't be happier about this fun new toy that just showed

up on his doorstep one day. So if you want a better mattress and you want to pay a fair

price, go to Casper.com forward slash revolutions and use the promo code Revolutions. That will

get you $50 off any mattress you want. That again is Casper.com slash revolutions, promo code Revolutions.
