I test bedding for a living – here's everything I use on my own bed

Black, white, and blue sheets on a bed against a window with a garden view. .

I'm the resident Sleep Editor here at Homes & Gardens, and there are lots of perks to my job. I get to travel the world and see how mattresses are made everywhere from in the heart of Arizona versus the slopes of Scandinavia. I've interviewed bedding designers from specialist sleep stores, including Shleep and Pure Parima, as well as major home retailers, such as IKEA.

The best part of my job is that I get to carry out my testing from the comfort of my own bedroom. I lead a team of experts across America in the search to find the world's best bedding. I get to keep everything I test, which means my linen closet is filled with smooth sheets, plush pillows, and fluffy comforters.
