pillows

Embarrassingly enough, we all gave these little cushions a shot. After approximately two minutes of shifting and squirming, we realized it wasn't a miracle -- just another illusion of coziness that's virtually unattainable when you're surrounded by strangers in a cramped cabin.

Sleep, that elusive and temperamental beast. I've spent my adulthood seeking it like Godzilla hunts Mothra, or the way that perimenopausal women look for sleep. Start with foundation: A stellar mattress begets a perfect bed.

Slightly creepy, but an all-star cuddler.
