Review: Is the Sealy FlexGrid memory foam mattress worth it?

A great night's sleep for side sleepers

There are plenty of tips and tricks you can try for getting a good night’s sleep — eating a bowl of oatmeal at night, turning off your screens a suitable amount of time before bed, and even when you choose to shower can all play a role in getting some much-needed shut-eye. But the foundation to a good night’s sleep is … Well, your foundation. Without a high-quality mattress suited to your sleeping needs, you’ll be tossing and turning all night.

Sealy is one of the most respected mattress brands around, with a wide range of products: Sealy Naturals, Sealy Posturepedic, Sealy Posturepedic Plus, Cocoon by Sealy, and of course, the Sealy FlexGrid mattress. This last one comes in both 10-inch memory foam and 12-inch hybrid options. Both are offered in multiple sizes: Twin Long, Full, Queen, King, California King, and Split California King.

Novice runners who are just starting to run receive all sorts of advice from experienced athletes about what running shoes to buy, what to eat, how to breathe while running, and more. Some of the most passionate exercise advice runners tend to give out pertains to eating before running.

Striking that perfect balance is the key to a great workout, and it's different for everyone.

The advice for running after eating may not be entirely accurate. The human body is a lot more complex than we ever thought, and the best plan for your body is to do what feels right to you. Let’s explore how to find out what that means and how long to wait after eating to run.

Sulfur is a major element found predominantly in the soil where food is grown. The word sulfur might make you think about certain foods like broccoli and black beans and that distinctive scent when cooking sulfur-rich veggies. This makes sense, considering sulfur is essential to a balanced diet. You might be wondering what sulfur is used for in your body, what the benefits are, and what foods are high in sulfur. The more you know, the more reasons you have to consume sulfur-packed whole foods as part of a well-formulated healthy diet.

What is sulfur?
Sulfur is a nonmetallic chemical element that your body can’t make, so it is sourced entirely from your diet, including from plant and animal sources.
