For some, a place to sleep means a flat surface (if even that); for others, a good night’s sleep—or nap—means a cushy mattress you can sink into. I fall into the latter category, and with all the innovative and rest-inducing sleep options available, it’s good to know that you don’t always have to rely on a basic bed.
From atmosphere-attuned beds to hammock tents, check out this cluster on unique sleep options—but don’t blame me if what you want to do next is take a nap!
