Yeah, I was wondering how you pronounce the anyway. 9 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: The brand is h A S T E N S. 10 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: With the thing, I'll call it Houstin's probably close anyway. 11 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 1: So I mentioned last week this thing New York Times 12 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 1: has called Wirecutter and they recommend products and I've kind 13 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: of gotten sucked into it and I purchased a bunch 14 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: of things from their recommendations. 15 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 2: I really like it. 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: Their their their ethics are they don't take any sponsorship, 17 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: they don't take any money, they don't get to keep 18 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: the products, and uh, they review all these different things 19 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: and tons of things. Like I bought a frying pan 20 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: the other day. They said the best non sticks frying 21 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: pan you can get. And one of the reasons it's 22 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: so popular is it's not like you might expect out 23 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: of the New York Times. They're always the most expensive 24 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: thing out there. It's very regularly you can get this 25 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: at Target for twenty bucks or or if you want 26 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: to really splurge, this one's two hundred dollars. But it's 27 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: only this much better or whatever. It just it has 28 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: and I've been very happy with a bunch of things 29 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: I've purchased from it. 30 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 3: And well, and that's so hard to find now. Yeah, yeah, 31 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 3: soal honest, you know, ratings and reviews and stuff like that. 32 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, lost of them are crap. 33 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. 34 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: And they'll have like, you know, the best white T 35 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 1: shirt for men, and they'll have ten different options, different 36 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: price points, and why they're good and you know how 37 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: they hold up and wash in the prime. Well whatever, 38 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: you get the point this. I need a good beefy tea. 39 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: I remember, do they still have the Hanes beefe tea? 40 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: Because so many places. 41 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 3: You go the T shirts are like double washed for softness, right, 42 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 3: and they're superform fitting. I don't want superform fitting. It's 43 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 3: all right, It's like im a age twenty. 44 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 2: I don't know. 45 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: Mark Kotzi says, I look worse with this shirt on 46 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: than I if I didn't have a shirt on. Yeah anyway, 47 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: So this is why this one stands out so much, 48 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: the headline being I wish this fifty six thousand dollars 49 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: mattress weren't so incredible from this reviewer. As a Wirecutter's 50 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: resident sleep expert, I've tested nearly one hundred mattresses, including 51 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: a dozen of those in my own home. I've slept 52 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: on everything from a forrrible bed in a box. I 53 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: got my son one of those. It's pretty cool to 54 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars mattresses made from materials developed for massa. Well, 55 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 1: I've found decent, even wonderful options across the spectrum. None 56 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: of them have compared to the Hostins two thousand te 57 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: It also costs fifty five, seven hundred and eighty dollars. 58 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: I'm getting one of these right away. 59 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: Hostin's would lend her to the mattress to slip deep 60 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: on for several weeks, along with the box spring and headboard. 61 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: With If you get the box spring, headboard and the mattress, 62 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: that brings you to seventy five thousand dollars. 63 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 3: Well, if you you gotta, you gotta get the package 64 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 3: because they fit together. 65 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: I mean it's a unit, it's a team. 66 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: Austin's derived from the Swedish word for horse. Of course 67 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: you knew. That was found in eighteen fifty two as 68 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: a saddle making business that shifted to luxury bed making 69 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: in the twentieth century. All of its mattresses are hand 70 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: crafted from the same materials horse hair, wool, flax, cotton, 71 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: and steel coils. 72 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: The company. 73 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: Whoa one of the big selling points. One of the selling 74 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: points of this mattress. It will last spells like a horse. Yeah, 75 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: what are the selling points of the mattresses? It will 76 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: last the lifetime. So if you're a rich person who 77 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: buys expensive mattresses and you started at age five and 78 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: lived to be two hundred, you might break even but 79 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: on having one mattress your whole life. But horsehair is 80 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: the star of the show in every Houstin's mattress. I 81 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: promise this is interesting. The horse made and tail strands 82 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: are heated, heat treated, braided, and then steamed to create 83 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: a permanent curl, an expensive process which, according to Hostin's, 84 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: is the main reason this bed is so different. The 85 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: curls are dense enough to create a loose, springy structure 86 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: that feels airy yet supportive. The fibers are hollow. This 87 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: helps the mattress feel breatheable by wiking away moisture and 88 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: excess heat. 89 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: Okay, I just can't get past a mental picture of 90 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 3: a bunch of shaved horses running around stud Wish. 91 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: And they had their hair back. Hastins usually requires potential 92 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: buyers to try mattresses and purchase before purchasing one. Of course, 93 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: you wouldn't want to buy it online a sixty thousand 94 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: dollars mattress, so I embarked on a sleep spa experience 95 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: at the company's flagship store in New York. There are 96 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: thirteen mattresses in the line, ranging from fourteen thousand to 97 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: six hundred thousand dollars, and I was able to try 98 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: each mattress at my own pace in a dimmed room, 99 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: swallowed in a down comforter with two pillows from my head, 100 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: one for my knees, ambient music playing. There is a 101 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: person lying in the bed across them, guiding me to 102 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: scan my body to assess the feeling into my hip 103 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: and back. If a mattress filled un supported them all away, 104 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: Hey a bed somalia to help you choose the right one, 105 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: That's exactly right. 106 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 2: M uh. 107 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: Shopping at Hostin's felt like a meditation session in a cool, 108 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: quiet studio, relaxed. 109 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: Blah blah, blah blah. 110 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: After forty five minutes, I landed on the two thousand 111 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: tees soft. Here's the part that I really liked, that 112 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: I thought was quite amazing. I know from years of 113 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: mattress testing the comfort is subjective, and no single mattress 114 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: work for everyone. That being said, sleeping on the two 115 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 1: thousand t tea feels like nothing I've ever felt before. 116 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: When I settle in, the mattress conforms just enough to 117 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: my whole body to sink into it, while what feels 118 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: like a thousand little hands support me from below. 119 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, don't tut me there, like a bunch of a 120 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 2: little oop bloopas. 121 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: The closest comparison I can think of is floating in 122 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: a sensory deprivation chamber. When I lay on the Hostins, 123 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: I feel weightless, like I'm bobbing on a pool of 124 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: water calibrated to my exact body temperature. I can barely 125 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: tell whether a mattress ends and my body begins, regardless. 126 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 2: Of what position I'm in. That sounds freaking cool. 127 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean because I I had the same look 128 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: on my face that you've had up until this point. Like, okay, 129 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: get to explain in how great this. But if it 130 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: feels like you're not laying on anything, like you're just 131 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: actually just floating in body temperature air with no pressure 132 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: on any point in your body, that's pretty appealing feeling. 133 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: I've never had it, but wow. Unlike the slow sink 134 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: of memory foam or the cushion of a padded pillow top, 135 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: the horse air and a Hastin's mattress has a natural springingness, 136 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: yet it's just as soft and far more breathable. I'm 137 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: a hot sleeper on ever, once woke up sweaty below 138 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: the horse hair two three and forty individual springs offer 139 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: a sensation that is as delightful to experience as it 140 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: is difficult to describe. But imagine being suspended in a 141 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: tide of soft shifting air. Imagine being suspended on a 142 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: tide of soft shifting air, cradled yet free. I gotta 143 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: admit I'd like to try this once. I would never. 144 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: I would never, even if I could afford it. Buy 145 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: one of these. Maybe, if I could afford it, I would. 146 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: I mean, well, it actually makes that point at the 147 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: end of the article. 148 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 3: Well, I just before we move on, just to clarify, 149 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 3: you are saying horse hair and not horse hair, right, 150 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 3: this is not the harvested hair of sex workers. 151 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: Right, people exchange if people exchange money for sex. 152 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Just you know, I got that Oscar winning 153 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 3: movie on my mind. 154 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: No, the common beast of burden as seen in western movies. 155 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 2: Ah, the horse, Yes, I'm surelier there's one. 156 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: Now, hey, come here, I got an idea for your hair. 157 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: Hold Still, after a couple of weeks on the mattress, 158 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: I could feel them. This this part is amazing, Okay, 159 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: all right. After a couple of weeks on the mattress, 160 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: I can feel the materials start to compress together, creating lumps. 161 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: After I got up in the morning, you'd think, Man, 162 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: two weeks into my fifty six thousand dollars bed, I'm 163 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: starting to feel lumps. I'd think, all right, somebody's gonna 164 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:28,679 Speaker 1: get a beating. Right, But that's normal. Assures Hostins because 165 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: the mattress requires regular complimentary massaging.
