Quick Fix: Finding the Perfect Mattress

It’s time for another Quick Fix! In our latest monthly exclusive for Slate Plus members, Carvell Wallace talks with How To! producer Sara McCrea about shopping for one of life’s most important and overwhelming purchases: a mattress. Should Sara shop online or spend some quality time at one of the many (many!) brick-and-mortar mattress stores in town? (And does a green-tea mattress contain caffeine?)
