😴 What's Really Ruining Your Sleep? The Mattress Myths, Cooling Claims & Bedding Fixes That Actually Matter 🛏️🔬✨
The Not Old Better Show, Good Housekeeping Good Better Best Interview Series
😴 Poor sleep affects far more than your nights. It can shape focus, mood, recovery, and how you show up the next day.
🌙 In recognition of National Sleep Awareness Month, Good Housekeeping's Good Better Best features Grace Wu and Amanda Constantine from the Good Housekeeping Institute's Textiles, Paper & Apparel Lab.
Their work combines lab analysis, hands-on product testing, and feedback from real consumers across the country. In this episode, they look closely at what actually helps people sleep better — from mattresses and bedding to cooling claims, smart beds, and long-term comfort.
What makes this conversation stand out is its focus on evidence. It cuts through bold marketing and centers on support, temperature control, durability, and the everyday sleep problems people are trying to solve.
For product teams, retailers, and consumers alike, the takeaway is clear: better sleep starts with better information.
