There’s something about a recliner that just makes you feel at home. Unfortunately, if you have trouble standing up, it can get way too literal as your recliner becomes un-leavable. After my brother had his hip replaced he spent several weeks in his power lift recliner. He ate in it, slept in it, and spent …

There are plenty of ways overweight people can sleep better, and the crucial ones are worth remembering. The best sleeping tips for obese people are to sleep on …
High-quality furniture is expensive. I didn’t appreciate this as a kid and always wondered why we just had one couch and two small recliners in our living room.

When my wife and I were first married we spent way too much money on a mattress. While an $800 mattress isn’t at all expensive in the world of premium mattresses, it was a large investment for us. If the mattress was amazing, I would have no regrets…but it wasn’t. The reason that I say …
