5 pillows that can help you sleep like a baby
Picking the right pillow can improve sleep and ease heartburn or sleep apnea, says sleep research from the Sleep Foundation. It might also help improve your sleep posture and reduce back and neck pain. A good pillow could also help reduce pressure on your hips, shoulders, neck and back, resulting in better sleep.
There are several things you should consider when choosing a pillow. For example, side sleepers may want to select a firm, thick pillow to support the neck and shoulders. If you prefer falling asleep on your back, you'll want a pillow that is not too firm or too soft to keep your head from sinking too low.
Are you approaching sleeping time on your stomach? You should reach for a thin pillow to level the head and neck with the rest of the spine. Combination sleepers should consider a pillow that offers it all in one package.
These five top pillow picks will help you sleep deeply and feel well-rested no matter what your sleeping position is:
Original price: $79.99
The No More Aches Neck Pillow for Pain Relief is the perfect option for combination sleepers. The pillow is crafted with a crescent-shaped design that harmonizes with your body's sleep stance. It is tailored to your shoulder's natural position for comfort and offers ample space for pain relief. Go upscale for relief with the Purple Harmony pillow, on sale for $199 at Purple. This pillow gets rave reviews for its support and cooling factor. It is made of luxurious Talalay Latex that instantly conforms to your head and neck for a weightless, floating feel.
These Viewstar pillows, queen-size, tick all the boxes for a back sleeper. The pillows are filled with premium down alternative clusters to ensure optimal support for your head and neck, providing snug cradling without too much sinkage. This gel-infused memory foam pillow, $149 from Coop Home Goods, is designed for back sleepers who occasionally turn on their side. It provides adequate support without being too stiff and cooling.
Original price: $64.99
Customers love the quality, support and pain relief the Sidney Sleep Pillow for Side Sleepers delivers. This memory foam bed pillow gives you the power to shape your sleep to your liking. The outer pillowcase is machine-washable. The Easy Breather, $99 at Nest, is 100% adjustable to your preferred height. Nest sends the pillow to you overstuffed with fill. You decide how much to put in. It also comes with a complimentary fill bag for adjusting your pillow.
Original price: $32.99
This Hcore Ultra Thin Pillow is the perfect option for stomach sleepers. The double-sided washable pillowcase features cool ice silk fabric on one side and soft, breathable lyocell knitted fabric on the other. Try the TEMPUR-Cloud Pillow, $89 at Tempurpedic, for a pillow that combines comfort and support.

I Found the 7 Most Effective Devices to Handle Home Fires
I think home fires are one of the most unpleasant surprises people face, but these dangerous disasters are unfortunately common, especially when making mistakes with space heaters or even concentrated sunlight during heatwaves. In my smart home and home security reviews, I've come across several devices that help guard against these fires without breaking the bank -- and they'll keep you updated on dangers even when you aren't at home. Here are the top smoke detectors, smart speakers and monitoring systems that make a real difference with minimal privacy concerns. Note: Always check your state regulations to see if you need a wired smoke detector vs. a battery model. Nest Protect (2nd gen) The Nest Protect is a popular option. Tyler Lizenby/CNET The most popular and best smart smoke detector on the market right now, the Nest Protect ($100), uses a split-spectrum sensor that supposedly helps it sense smoldering fires faster, and it combines that smoke-detecting prowess with helpful smarts. In practice, the Nest Protect responded to smoke almost as quickly as an ordinary Kidde smoke detector. Once the alarm sounds, you'll get a push notification, and you can use the app to silence the alarm in the case of burnt toast. The Nest Protect will also help you avoid those annoying low-battery chirps with notifications when it's time to replace your AAs. We found the smarts helpful when we tested the Nest Protect and recommend it readily to anyone looking to replace your dumb old smoke detectors with a smart upgrade. Note: Google is slowly discontinuing the Nest Protect. We're still recommending it for now because, well, it's a great smart smoke detector and Nest will be continuing to support it for years. But if you want to be on the cutting edge, you can look at this Nest-powered Kidde smoke detector instead for $130. Read CNET's full review of the Nest Protect (2nd gen). Ring-Supported Kidde Smoke Alarm Kidde's new detectors work with the Ring app right out of the box for alerts and battery notifications. Ring I've recently tested a very promising new smoke detector available this summer, a collaboration between home security brand Ring and one of our favorite smoke and fire brands, Kidde. This smoke detector uses a Kidde design combined with Ring technology to give it smart features and useful alerts. The Ring app will provide alerts, updates, low battery warnings and more information. This is a valuable combo, especially if you already use Ring devices or if you'd prefer not to use Google Home for a Nest system. Kidde Voice Alert Smoke Detector Kidde's voice alert detector is a great option for people who want to stay away from apps. Kidde If you don't care about Ring compatibility, our next stop is the latest photoelectric battery model from Kidde. It has excellent specs and Kidde smoke detectors reliably test well on our speed and smoke detection exams. The model has handy voice alarms that tell you what's wrong, like "Fire" vs. "Replace batteries" so you know what to expect. The design also helps reduce false alarms from things like candles or cooking. Just ensure you get a wired version if your building codes require a hardwired smoke detector in certain spots. SimpliSafe Home Security Smoke Detector If your home security system supports smoke detectors, tap into this compatibility. SimpliSafe If you already have a security system, you should start by looking for fire, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that your system already supports, so it can monitor and control them along with other sensors. Most home security systems offer devices like this, but SimpliSafe's is an ideal example of how it works. It works via the SimpliSafe app, is designed for accuracy and can tap into SimpliSafe's 24/7 home monitoring service if you choose to subscribe. Ting Electrical Fault Detectors Monitoring devices like Ting are made with electrical fires in mind. Ting/Whisker Labs A hidden cause of home fires is problems with wiring, which can be more common in older homes. If your home is high-risk, you may consider a monitoring solution like Ting, with plug-in devices that monitor your home electricity and watch for signs of faults. Ting says it can statistically stop four out of five home electrical fires with this kind of monitoring, and you may even get a credit amount to help pay for wiring repair. Alexa Emergency Assist Alexa Emergency Assist can listen for fire alarms among other services. Amazon What happens when you aren't home or can't quickly deal with a fire? A service like Alexa Emergency Assist could be the right answer if you want to go beyond detectors. It's relatively affordable compared to home monitoring plans at $6 per month, and Alexa has some valuable tricks, like the ability to listen for smoke alarms and send your phone a message about them, no matter where you are. The service can also put you in contact with an agent who can call the fire department and take other important steps. First Alert Rechargeable Fire Extinguisher First Alert There's not really any such thing as a "smart" fire extinguisher -- they are already quite efficient at what they do. And if your home doesn't have a fire extinguisher within easy reach (especially in the kitchen, where many fires can start), it's time to add one. Technically, this First Alert model is made for garages, but you can use it anywhere. It's durable, rechargeable, and ready even for grease and chemical fires.
