Real question: how long do you spend commuting around the city on a day-to-day basis? From the coffee shop, to work, to that appointment on the other side of town, and all the way home again—city dwellers are in transition a lot. So it stands to reason that if you’re going to spend that much time getting around, you might as well do your best to enjoy the ride. (And avoid traffic jams and stalled trains while you’re at it too.)

It goes without saying that how you sleep—and more importantly, upon what you sleep—is critical. Recognizing this, Leesa offered a DCist writer a chance to test-drive one of their dreamy mattresses to see how an upgraded sleeping situation changed her day-to-day.

Going out on a limb here—you’ve likely once looked at your checking account or your wallet or your face in the mirror and uttered “ugh, I’m so broke.” Money is complicated, and talking about it can feel even more complicated, if not taboo.

Of all the “sports” out there, biking often seems like the activity with the most crossover between fitness and everyday life. Sure, you can be that guy in the head-to-toe Spandex zipping around idling traffic, but let’s be real: that’s not for everybody. Most bikers are regular people with regular-people problems: they have to get to work, they have to run errands, and they don’t have all the interior space in the world to store big objects…like a typical bike.
