Kyra Blackwell

Hey y'all, it's Kyra Blackwell from Wirecutter, the product recommendation service from the New York Times, and I test mattresses.

Today I am testing seven mattresses.

This mattress is very supportive.

It's just very easy to shift positions.

We've considered nearly four dozen foam, innerspring, and hybrid mattresses.

We're looking out for edge support, motion isolation, and firmness levels.

At Wirecutter, we do the work so you don't have to.

While this is not an officially recognized closure, shipping has been completely stalled in the strait.

I'm Debra Kamen.

I'm an investigative reporter at The New York Times.

When I say real estate, I'm guessing you're thinking about things like the cost of rent, what the market looks like, whether or not mortgage rates are going to go up.

What I do is I look at what goes on beneath those numbers.

The people running the industry, who for so many years have been relatively invisible.

And the more that I look into it, the more that I find there are people operating unethically.

And their unethical behavior affects every single American.

If we only focus on the numbers, it's like covering the results of an election and not looking at the politicians.

To know why the system is the way it is, you have to understand the people making decisions behind it.

At The New York Times, we don't ever tell a story at just the top level.

We're always looking a little bit deeper to help readers better understand not just what something is, but why it is and also who's causing it to be that way.
