Luma’s twist to online mattresses: Letting you swap out the topper for more or less firmness

Tuft & Needle, Casper, and Leesa will all deliver queen-size memory foam mattresses to your door for under $900. These were among the first mattresses-in-a-box and a few competitors have cropped up since, offering a more customizable experience. The aforementioned trio each have one style that comes in different sizes. Luma has now joined this group, calling its product “the first customizable luxury mattress sold exclusively online.”

The Luma Slumber System comes in two parts, but it’s not like a box spring and mattress. The first part makes up the bulk of the mattress and consists of wrapped coils, an inch of memory foam, and three inches of latex. The thinner second piece is made exclusively of latex, and this “comfort layer” comes in different levels of firmness. Because it’s not as unwieldy as an entire mattress, this layer can be changed out if you get the Luma home and find firm isn’t for you.

The topper comes in three levels: plush, medium, and firm, and there’s a chart to help guide you to which should work for you and your sleeping habits. It seems like there’s no option to split this layer in half, which is an option Helix Sleep offers with its mattresses, if you and your partner are at opposite ends of the firmness spectrum.

For the whole system, you get a 101-day trial, but you can switch the comfort layer for up to a year. Mattresses also come with “Talalay latex” pillows and mattress protectors. Talalay refers to the process used to make the latex, and it’s a little costlier than the Dunlop process, though each seems to have its pros and cons, according to Sleep Like the Dead.

Another thing that separates Luma from its competitors is that it’s pricier. A queen-size mattress, which comes with the mattress protector and two pillows, costs $1,495.

If you're looking to add a smart display to your home, the Amazon Echo Show is a great option.

Echo Show screen is flickering
This issue has been with the Echo Show since the first-generation model. What we're talking about are pulsating horizontal lines stretching across the screen. Sometimes, the malfunction appears closer to the bottom of the display, where Alexa's indicator is, or up and down the entire display. Some Echo Show owners experience this infrequently, others all the time. If your own Show is flickering, there are a few things you can try.

The Narwal Freo X Plus is an entry-level robot vacuum loaded with premium features
The Freo X Plus vacuuming pet hair.

Narwal launched the Freo X Ultra earlier this year, and we found it to be an exceptional robot vacuum and mop combo -- though its $1,400 price tag made it a luxury item for most shoppers. Thankfully, many of the Freo X Ultra's best features can be found on the newly launched Narwal Freo X Plus, which offers an affordable alternative to the flagship vacuum and mop combo.

The Freo X Plus should be much more appealing to frugal shoppers, as it clocks in at just $400. That's a full $1,000 cheaper than the Ultra, yet it still holds up to seven weeks of dust, can lift its mopping plate when traveling on carpet, and produces up to 7,800 Pa of suction to pull out dirt and debris from your carpets. It can even apply 6 Newton units of downward pressure while mopping, allowing it to tackle tough stains with ease.
