I spent ten years on the brand side before I came here, so I've watched claims get written from the inside and I don't take many of them at face value. I cover the body half of it: sleep position, pillows, duvets, foam. Anywhere the marketing has got ahead of the evidence, really. I also read most of what Gary and Giselle file before it goes out, which they've learned to be grateful for. The line I take out most often is the one about a firmer mattress being better for a bad back. It isn't. It never was.
