![]() We’ll be testing more mattresses in the future, but for now, here’s our answer to that question about which mattress you should buy.įor decades, most mattresses were filled with interlocking, hourglass-shaped springs designed for uniform support across the surface of the mattress, then topped with batting for comfort. In some cases, for companies that offer more than one mattress design, we tested only one option. If you don’t want to scroll through all of the options, you can click any of the links in the table of contents to jump to their corresponding mattresses - or read on for how we tested and what we looked for.Ī couple of things to note: Unless stated otherwise, the starting prices we’ve listed are for queen-size mattresses. Still, we hope these reviews provide a baseline for how firm, springy, or cushy a brand’s other products might be. That’s because determining which mattress to buy will always depend on you - your sleeping position, temperature, firmness preference, and budget - and the perfect mattress only becomes obvious once you’ve actually slept on it. But rather than name the “best mattress for everyone,” which we’re convinced doesn’t exist, we set out to judge each on its own terms. All the mattresses here are some of the best-reviewed on the market, so there are no duds. ![]() We’ve tested around three dozen mattresses since 2018 and we’re still going strong, with several newer mattress models in our current testing queue. To help make sense of it all, our staff has been testing mattresses ourselves and making note of how they feel to actually sleep on in real life. Meanwhile, the essential question - “What mattress should I buy?” - has become trickier to answer. Since then, the mattress-sphere has only gotten more crowded, with more new brands launching and existing ones rolling out new models and phasing out older ones. So many start-ups had arisen to challenge the likes of Sleepy’s and Tempur-Pedic - Casper, Tuft & Needle, Leesa, and Saatva, among many others. We wrote in 2017 about a golden age of mattresses.

Believing that Guddu is on the train, Saroo boards it. Saroo does as he’s told but wakes with a start some time later. Saroo quickly begins to feel tired, however, and when they reach the station, Guddu instructs Saroo to stay where he is and nap. One evening when Saroo is five, Saroo insists that Guddu take him back to “Berampur” with him. Saroo spends his time with Shekila and Baba, the local holy man. As Guddu and Kallu get older, they begin spending more time at “Berampur,” a train station down the line where they have better luck finding food and money. Guddu and Kallu work hawking small items at train stations and sweeping train cars, while Saroo goes door-to-door begging for food from neighbors. Kamla works on building sites and is often gone for days at a time. Saroo’s family lives in a poor town he knows as “ Ginestlay” in a Muslim neighborhood, even though Kamla is Hindu. Luckily, the riot dissolves when Saroo’s father throws a rock at Kamla. The children go alone to their father’s house, and the next day, a riot breaks out in the street when Kamla and Saroo’s father begin fighting. His mother, Kamla, takes Saroo, baby Shekila, and their brothers Guddu and Kallu on a day-long journey to visit. His parents separate when he’s very young, and his only clear memory of his birth father is going to visit his birth father’s new baby when he’s four years old. Saroo returns his story to his childhood in India. Together, they draw a map of Saroo’s hometown and the train journey to Calcutta. Mum is flabbergasted when he explains how he became lost and ended up in Calcutta. After a while, Saroo begins to talk about his life in India. Though Saroo has a relatively easy time adjusting to his new life, he does anxiously run through his memories of his Indian family every night. His Mum pins a map of India to his wall to make Saroo feel at home. Saroo is adopted when he’s six and grows up in Hobart, Tasmania. He tells Saroo to follow him he’ll take Saroo to his mother. One man takes Saroo’s page of childhood photos, disappears for a few minutes, and then returns. Two other men arrive, and Saroo recites the names of his family members again. The woman says they don’t live there anymore. A young woman appears out of the next house to help, and Saroo begins to list the people who lived in the house. He’s in shock: the tiny house is clearly abandoned. She asks that Saroo marry and have children before she dies-she values family and wants to make sure Saroo will have a family of his own to care for him upon her death.As an adult, Saroo stands in front of his childhood home in India. By the end of the memoir, Saroo is in the process of buying Kamla a home so that she can be comfortable in her old age. With this, she effectively gives Saroo permission to feel that he made the right choice by consenting to his adoption. Kamla insists that Mum and Dad are Saroo’s parents, as they’re the ones who raised him to be the man he is when she meets him as an adult. The day before Saroo returns, she experiences a vision of him, which reinforces her belief in destiny. Though she has the right to file for divorce under Islamic law, she remains married to Saroo’s birth father. Sometime between Saroo’s disappearance and his return, she converts to Islam and changes her name to Fatima. She never gives up on her hope that Saroo is alive and well. With only two children she can afford to send Kallu and Shekila to school, and she eventually moves to a nicer house in Ganesh Talai. When both Saroo and Guddu disappear, Kamla is devastated and even considers killing herself and her remaining children, but she manages to make the best of her situation. She has customary face tattoos and always wears a red sari, so she’s easy to spot when she returns from work. Saroo loves and admires her when he’s a child he thinks she’s beautiful and strong. Kamla is then forced to perform hard labor for little money. When Kamla was pregnant with Shekila, her husband took a second wife and effectively abandoned the family. ![]() They had four children, Guddu, Kallu, Saroo, and Shekila, over twelve years. She married Saroo’s birth father when she was nineteen, and it was an unconventional marriage: Kamla was Hindu, while her husband was Muslim. ![]() Side effects like discomfort, mild burning or stinging may occur.

Estimates are 20/24 for RWD. With improvements to the lower ball joint design, exhaust manifold durability, significant increase in HP and extra gearing, the 05 and 06 is definitely worth holding out for if you’re in the market for a 1st gen Tundra.First time truck owner and I love this tundra power but the mpg is well below expectations. This should translate to getting the best version of the series as Toyota had time to “work out the bugs”. PROVEN: The 2006 Tundra is the last year of production for the 1st generation. I went with the Old Man Emu kit because it’s simple and proven. Fortunately there’s lots of options today from the after market. Also, the stock suspension, even the stock TRD Bilsteins, were somewhat meh. Get a Power Wagon if that’s your cup of tea. I would not however, make a practice of carrying really heavy loads while driving in rough terrain. I’ve hauled literally tons of firewood without issue. RUGGED: Keep the weight low (within payload limits) and this truck does quite well in rough terrain even considering the non-boxed frame. If this is an only vehicle or you need to carry more than 2 people than definitely get the double cab. A 3 year old in a child seat barely has enough room in the extended cab, speaking from experience. I would not however, recommend the Access Cab for more than 2 people. ĜOMFORTABLE: we’ve road tripped the Tundra thousands of miles for 10-12 hour days quite comfortably. at least in this area (Denver metro) where a used Tacoma. Seems to be a bit better priced than a Taco of similar vintage, miles, etc. are all pretty proven as well as long as you don’t push it by running too big of tires or towing without a transmission cooler or other self-inflicted problems. INEXPENSIVE: in the age of $60,000 F150’s (let that sink in for a second)….one can pick up a well-maintained 1st Gen Tundra for 10-20k and it will probably still outlast that sixty thousand dollar 2018 F150…These 2UZ-FE engines routinely hit 300,000 miles with basic maintenance and consume very little oil. Good news is that I haven't had to replace mine. It’s as if the Toyota engineers picked the worse possible location for the starter. The engine is fairly simple with exception of the starter location. Tie rod ends, CV axles, steering rack bushings, etc. The independent front suspension (IFS) is quite easy to work on. This also makes it easier to work on if you turn your own wrenches and less expensive to pay someone to repair, if you don’t. For all intents and purposes, it’s just a TRUCK back when trucks used to be trucks. No unnecessary complications that can fail when out in the mountains or bush. No redundant navigation that my iPhone and/or iPad does a better job of anyway. No crazy electronics that start to show age after 12 years of use. SIMPLE: My 06’ AC has power windows, power locks, AC and cruise control. For perspective, a 2018 TRD Pro Taco weighs about the same but only has 265 lb ft. It runs really, really well and EASILY pulls 75 up I-70 to the Eisenhower, even with a bit of a load. of torque with much of that torque available on the low end given that it’s a V8. ![]() POWER: My Tundra Access Cab hits around 4,700lbs and has 270HP and 313 lb ft. It’s these reasons I would recommend an 05-06 Tundra. 05-06 also gives you a 5 speed auto tranny vs a 4 speed of the previous years. The 05-06 Tundra gains 42HP over the 04’! Plenty of power and low end torque even with running larger tires up to a 33” which is the largest sized tire I would feel comfortable running on a mostly stock IFS. ĒUZ-FE: Legendary Toyota 4.7l V8 that powers the also legendary 100 Series Land Cruiser. My curb weight is 4,700lbs…a new Taco weighs almost the same. Very comfortable on the interior but small enough for tighter trails, parking etc. It’s about the same size as the latest gen Taco. JUST BIG ENOUGH: for 2018 standards, the “full-size” 1st gen Tundra is a mid-size pickup. Now here’s why I believe the 05-06 1st Gen Tundra is the best Toyota pickup ever made: Otherwise it is stock although I will be adding a winch bumper, sliders and some skid plates as part of some overlanding/off-road mods. Stiffer ride with a slight lift but handles better in general, especially with a heavier load. I swapped the stock suspension for the Old Man Emu suspension kit Slee and Toytec offer for this truck. There’s a good reason why Toyota selected the same power plant for the $75,000 Land Cruiser (price at that time): these engines … can EASILY exceed 250-300k and are dead nuts reliable. Keep on top of the basic maintenance and the 2UZ-FE 4.7L v8 will go and go and go. I’ve had my 06’ Tundra Access Cab SR5 4x4 now for a number of years and this 12 year old truck just keeps going and going without issue all the while being driven pretty hard. ![]() ![]() ![]() To learn more about how and for what purposes Amazon uses personal information (such as Amazon Store order history), please visit our Privacy Notice.

Before the war, Spain had grudgingly granted Puerto Rico limited home rule, an attempt to forestall an independence movement. It arguably began in 1898, when United States forces invaded Puerto Rico, then a colony of Spain, during the Spanish-American War. The disasters compounded a social and economic calamity that has been brewing for over a century. The hurricanes weren’t the beginning of the story, though. It was a clear, sunny day, a year and a half after the hurricanes, but the neighborhood was in yet another post-storm blackout. On the second day we visited, the school was closed. Another elementary school we saw, in the western city Mayagüez, had reopened a formerly vacant wing to take in students from nearby shuttered schools. ![]() I asked a teacher at one partially destroyed school in the central mountains if she felt abandoned by the government. The lag compounded the economic damage and contributed to the deaths of anywhere from 2,650 to 3,290 people. The Trump administration’s dismissive federal response to the storm - punctuated by the hiring of Whitefish Energy, a small and inexperienced Montana-based contractor with ties to the administration, to oversee reconstruction of the electrical grid - helped leave Puerto Rico in the dark for months. Most of the damage is the result of the catastrophic 2017 hurricane season, when Hurricanes Irma and Maria blasted through, wrecking homes and destroying the islands’ archaic electrical grid. Landslide-prone slopes loom, unrestrained, behind buildings filled with students. Even in schools that remain in use, mold creeps, roofs are torn and gymnasiums sag like wet shoe boxes. In others, neighbors had refashioned empty classrooms into stables for horses, rabbits and pigs. Some of the buildings had been left to addicts and thieves. Stray dogs made their beds beneath teachers’ desks. Books and blackboards rotted in the humidity. ![]() The photographer Diana Zeyneb Alhindawi and I spent weeks touring these monuments to neglect. As the summer wet season gives way to the wary hurricane watch of an ever-warmer fall, no evidence of this decline is more powerful than the islands’ hundreds of abandoned schools. Decades of abuse, austerity, corruption and now the ravages of climate change have triggered an exodus of people and money. Away from the echoing drums, down forgotten streets and across green mountains, the islands are emptying. The crowd’s ire was fueled in part by a sense of absence. They sang, danced and demanded the ouster of the commonwealth’s negligent governor, Ricardo Rosselló - and, with him, the federal control board that holds economic power over the United States’ oldest remaining colony in the Americas. Thousands of the islands’ residents marched shoulder to shoulder through cities. ![]() During the blazing summer of 2019, Puerto Rico was in tumult. |
