When you think of fine bedding what often comes to mind are high thread count sheet sets and luxury down comforters. While these an important part of sleep comfort, it’s easy to overlook your pillow. It’s time to treat yourself to the Tempur-Pedic GrandPillow. Their top of the line, ultra-luxurious pillow is every bit as amazing as you would imagine it to be. The pressure relieving Tempur material is both soft when you lay your head down, and supportive to your neck and body. Among its features are a blended silk outer cover and an inner cover lined with Tempur-HD (a higher density foam than the original Tempur material), as well as individually moveable and shapeable micro-cushions. It’s time to start getting a better night’s sleep.

Cost: $349-$399 @ Tempur-Pedic

As a guy you probably end up with more stuff in your pockets than you realize (insert joke here). If you’re like us then it gets dumped on a counter or table at the end of each day. What about your valuables though? Do you chuck your watch, cellphone and wallet aside as you reach for the beer?

If so, that’s a shame. Upgrade yourself with a valet. It doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive. Take this Nautica Dresser Valet for example. It’ll keep your gear uncluttered and out of drawers or behind the couch. More importantly, you’ll probably shave a good 5 minutes of time you’d otherwise be spending looking for your damn phone.

What this means to you: Keep it on your desk, counter or bedside table. More importantly, put your gear in it.

Cost: $20 @ Macy’s

What would you say if you were looking at a bed that took over two years of experimenting to come up with the perfect combination of horsehair, cotton, flax and wool? What would you say if it took nearly 160 hours to hand stitch this bed together using traditional craftsmanship techniques honed in Sweden since the 1850’s? What if we told you that every single element of this bed is catered to your exact body and there could be nothing more comfortable or perfect for your sleep (this writer suffer’s a slight case of insomnia)?

What if we told you this bed cost as much as a Lexus?

Before you go balking at the price just know what this bed is. It’s simply worth a look as it has done more than wonders for my sleep. Thought the payments on the bed are worthy of a small mortgage the experience of completely restful nights and zero body impact has been nearly indescribable.

What this means this to you: The price is exorbitant but the thought of adding years onto your life from fantastic nights of sleep uninhibited by imperfections in your bed that you don’t even realize are affecting you?

Cost: ~ $60,000 @ Hastens
