Rise and shine in style with the Elevator Bed

All you jokers who think you rule the roost with your hide-a-bed sofas and murphy beds – peep game on the latest, greatest, most gangster mattress technology yet. Introducing the Elevator Bed.

Designed by Italian furniture manufacturer Espace Loggia (which roughly translated means space logic, ya dig?) the Elevator Bed incorporates a cleverly-engineered counterweight system that allows it to be raised up to the ceiling without ripping your wall down in the process. And by some miraculous manipulation of physics, the entire apparatus can be raised and lowered without the help of motors. It’s all done by hand. This non-motorized design lends itself to a relatively simple installation process, but also means the bed can’t be lifted while you’re lying on it, which is kind of a bummer.

Screen Shot 2013-11-04 at 8.40.43 AMThe beds come in a variety of different sizes, too. Espace Loggia offers ones designed for kids all the way up to adults, so no matter if you’re rocking a twin, full, or queen, they’ve got you covered. Unfortunately, the company doesn’t currently sell a king-sized model yet. But in all fairness, if you’re too tall for a queen, you probably won’t want this thing anyway – it’d just take up all your precious head space when you stand up.

The design is also adaptable to your apartment or residence’s ceiling height, so if you really wanted to, you could set this badboy up to scale two stories – although it’d likely be a pain to get down after you put it up there.

Eight Sleep Pod Review: This smart bed is designed for couples
Eight Sleep's Pod bed cools, heats, and tracks sleep data for couples
eight smart mattress sleep coach

Many people try to eat right, exercise, lower their stress levels, and fine-tune other areas of health and well-being -- and they should be applauded for those efforts. But why don’t we focus more on our sleep health? Recently, Eight Sleep came out with a bed called the Pod that does just that. Each night while you sleep, the Pod measures data to determine a sleep fitness score. It also creates the ideal temperature environment to help you get better sleep.

When I get less than five hours of sleep, I become a totally different person. My pleasant, silly, and happy-go-lucky demeanor goes out the window, and I turn into an irritable, grog-monster who looks like I came straight from the set of The Walking Dead. So, when given the opportunity to test out the Pod bed, I immediately agreed (I didn’t need to sleep on the idea).

How to format the microSD card on Tapo security cameras
The Tapo C120 out in the rain.

One of the most compelling features of Tapo products (like the Wire-Free 2K Outdoor Cam and Indoor/Outdoor Cam) is support for local storage. Many Tapo security cameras let you install a microSD card, so you don't have to rely on cloud storage to save all your videos – instead, they're neatly stored right on your camera. Before you can start using local storage, however, you'll need to format your microSD card. Tapo has some pretty strict requirements for how this works, but the process itself is remarkably simple.

Ready to start saving all your video clips locally? Here's how to format the microSD card on your Tapo security camera.

Blink Mini 2 vs. Ring Stick Up Cam Pro: Which is the best security camera?
The Ring Stick Up Cam Pro on display the 2023 Amazon Fall Devices and Services event.

The Blink Mini 2 is one of the cheapest security cameras you can buy. It's pretty well-rounded too. It's capable of filming in HD and offering support for outdoor use when paired with an optional accessory, making it a great choice for shoppers on a budget. That makes it wildly different from the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro, which carries a hefty price tag and supports both indoor and outdoor use right out of the box without the need to purchase a secondary accessory.

But is the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro a better investment than the affordable Blink Mini 2? From pricing and video resolution to the installation process and additional features, here's a look at the Blink Mini 2 and Ring Stick Up Cam Pro to help you decide which is the best choice for your home.
