Just think about how many of your friends and loved ones skip shaving for a few days, grow a ‘stache or maintain a full beard. Facial hair trends come and go, but according to a survey by Statista, as many as 44% of U.S. men keep some kind of beard.

Our editors and experts handpick every product we feature. We may earn a commission from your purchases. After trying the Saatva Contour5, I gave away my original mattress to a friend. Don’t ditch your mattress just yet, though—there’s more to the story. I spent nearly two months scrutinizing every inch of Saatva’s new cooling mattress.
