So You Bought a Nice New Mattress—Now It's Time to Protect It
How much mattress protection do you really need? Let's talk about mattress protectors and mattress encasements. Courtesy of Leesa; Scooms All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. Here's a hard truth: People are gross. Even the cleanliest among us cannot prevent the things that permeate a mattress nightly, oftentimes without us even knowing. This includes things like dandruff, dead skin, dust mites, sweat, and even in accidental cases, urine and blood. Have the 'ick' yet? Now imagine the worst comes to pass, and you've got to contend with now cleaning your mattress to remove these things as best as you can. To that end, protecting your mattress shouldn't even be a question. As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Coughing up the $20 to get a protector in the first place can save you a lot of time and money. But some may want to go the extra mile and cut off a mattress's exposure to the outside world by way of a mattress encasement for the super icky things, like bed bugs and mildew. With that visual in mind, let's go over some scenarios to determine which protective product is most beneficial for you. Mattress Protector: A Little Protection A mattress protector acts very similar to a fitted sheet. You've got elastic around the side for it to hang onto the mattress, and sometimes extra padding on the top that is supposed to be similar to that of a mattress pad (adds more cushioning to your bed, but not as much as a mattress topper). Getting a waterproof mattress protector is key, especially if you are dealing with spills, accidents, general clumsiness (@ me, spilling my nightcap Baja Blast in bed). The protector keeps water from soaking into the top layer of the bed, preventing stains, smells, and a cleanup headache on your part. The sides of the bed are also guarded against dust and liquid, but the bottom of the mattress remains open. So if things like under-bed dust bunnies or bed bug prevention are top of mind for you, a mattress encasement may be your best move. Mattress Encasement: A Lot of Protection I've seen plenty of mattress encasements in use at hotels, Airbnbs, VRBOs, or just in the homes of very cautious people. Just like it sounds, a mattress encasement completely covers every inch of the mattress, kind of like a material force field or bubble. This protection will keep out the worst of the worst mattress offenders, like mildew, mold, and the dreaded bed bug. In order for it to really act as a shield against pathogens and bacteria, make sure your encasement is waterproof and made for these circumstances. Otherwise, it's like wrapping your bed up in a top sheet and calling it a day—it's not going to do very much. Mattress encasements are going to act just like mattress protectors in keeping out the other questionable substances, like dead skin cells, bodily fluids, and dust mites. The biggest difference is that you are just getting coverage from every angle. Protect Your Bed Mattress encasements and protectors are akin to an insurance policy, because they ensure longevity and general cleanliness. Your mattress warranty may not even cover you for spills, stains, or damage from nightly usage—making these mattress accessories even more important in my book. Plus, they're very cheap and easy to use. Just heed my final words: Make sure it's waterproof! Power up with unlimited access to WIRED .

Champion Lakes artist wins PerthNow x Jacksons art prize
A Champion Lakes artist who is certainly no stranger to winning over the hearts of her peers has come out on top in the PerthNow x Jacksons 70th Anniversary art prize. Experienced watercolourist Catherine Kelley delighted judges with her celebration of friend, fellow artist and Jacksons Cannington store manager Leesa Padget, excelling in interpreting the competition's brief: what her local Jacksons store and the community means to her. The judges — Jacksons general manager Scott Boercamp, renowned WA talent Leon Pericles, sculptor Georgia Zoric, and PerthNow Local editor Arylene Westlake-Jennings — were enamoured by how Kelley captured her relationship with Padget in the mixed-media artwork. Your local paper, whenever you want it. Leesa by Catherine Kelley. Credit: Supplied 'The stand-out stories for me over the judging of this competition came from the love and appreciation of the Jacksons staff over the decades,' Zoric said. 'Leesa was the embodiment of that thread of memories. A whimsical and thoughtful piece putting the staff at the centre of the Jacksons success story.' Mr Boercamp said the submission demonstrated the appreciation Jacksons' customers have for its staff. 'Our staff are so important to us, their knowledge, their passion for art and creativity; it's what makes Jacksons unique,' he said. More than 100 guests, including prominent Perth artists and Jacksons' key suppliers and partners, watched on as Kelley was presented with a $5000 cheque for the stunning piece at an exclusive soiree at Sailing for Oranges in Fremantle on Tuesday evening. 'I met Leesa at the Armadale Art Society about 20 years ago, I would guess. We were mutual artists at the society and I was president for a little while, and you can't help but get to know like-minded people.' Kelley said of her entry. 'I was inspired by her work and what she does and her hair — it's just a nest — and I couldn't help but represent that concept. And I personally love birds, so it all fell into place.' Special mentions were also made for several submissions in the art prize, including Autumn Colours by Stef Hayward, Messages & Meanings by Dorothy Davies, and Pigeons by Giorgina Pitchen, which delighted all four judges with its whimsical take on the storefront of the flagship Jacksons in Subiaco. The PerthNow x Jacksons collaboration celebrates the brand's 70th year in business, from its beginnings as a small showroom on William Street in Perth to becoming an integral part of the WA and NT art communities. Mr Boercamp reflected on the significance of the milestone, sharing his excitement for the future. 'Reaching 70 years is an incredible achievement, and I believe our commitment to providing high-quality products, which we source locally and globally, and our team's instore expertise has been a big part of our success,' he said. 'I also want to congratulate Catherine on her well-deserved win. We hope to continue this art competition as an annual tradition to further celebrate creativity in our community.'

Romesh Ranganathan reveals plans to 'take a step back' from his career
Romesh Ranganathan has revealed he is taking a step back from his busy TV schedule - but he promises fans he's not quitting for good. The comedian, 47, is known for fronting The Weakest Link as well as Sky's wildly popular Rob & Romesh Vs alongside Rob Beckett. Appearing on Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4, Ranganathan told host Lauren Laverne he was taking a breather to spend more time with his family - while vowing not to quit television for good. He said: "There's no game plan. I'm just doing whatever feels good - I'm taking a step back." Ranganathan also talked about his past career as a maths teacher before he found fame, and paid tribute to those still working in classrooms. He said: "There's not been a single day of my comedy career that's even come close to the stress I felt as a teacher. "I cannot speak highly enough of teachers and teaching and how I loved that job." Born and bred in Crawley, Ranganathan studied maths at Birbeck University and went on to teach the subject in his hometown. He was working at a secondary school in the borough when he met his wife Leesa in 2009, who was also a teacher. The couple went on to marry and have three sons, Theo, Alex and Charlie. Ranganathan is a big fan of hip-hop and previously performed freestyle rap under the name 'Ranga', as well as hosting a podcast Hip-Hop Changed My Life. But it was his dry comedy style and deadpan delivery that saw him make the leap from clubs to television, with appearances on Have I Got News For You, 8 Out Of 10 Cats and Would I Lie To You. Ranganathan also hosts a regular show on BBC Radio 2. Outside of showbiz, Ranganathan co-owns Coughlans Bakery in Oxted, Surrey. Last week, he delighted customers by serving coffees and pastries behind the counter on Wednesday. He was dressed for work in the bakery's branded hat and hoodie, and was filmed handling orders and taking payments. The funnyman was also on hand to pose for selfies and talk to fans, as well as recording video messages for them to share with friends. Ranganathan enjoys his random shifts at the bakery. In a BBC interview in February, he said: "It was nice to meet people. I just wanted to get involved. The crowds are better than my tour show." In April, Ranganathan criticised his local council over a school placement 'shambles' after claiming his youngest son was not offered any of his preferences for secondary school. He posted a video on Instagram taking aim at West Sussex County Council for placing his youngest son in a school 'on the other side of town', rather than the one that his elder son attends. Ranganathan also added that he had emailed the council six times with no response, and after a local MP got involved was told that an investigation by the council found the placement to be 'satisfactory'.

Romesh Ranganathan reveals plans to step back from career in shock move - but insists he is not retiring
Romesh Ranganathan has revealed he's hitting pause on his hectic showbiz schedule - but insists he's not quitting for good. The funnyman, 47, best known for his hit BAFTA-winning series Rob & Romesh Vs, says he's taking a breather to spend more time at home. Speaking on Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4, Romesh told host Lauren Laverne: 'There's no game plan. I'm just doing whatever feels good - I'm taking a step back.' But fans don't need to panic, as the Crawley-born comic made it clear he's not packing it in for good. Romesh also opened up about life before comedy, reflecting on his old job as a maths teacher and how tough it really was. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'There's not been a single day of my comedy career that's even come close to the stress I felt as a teacher,' he said. 'I cannot speak highly enough of teachers and teaching and how I loved that job.' Romesh met his wife Leesa in 2009 when they were both working at a secondary school in Crawley. The pair tied the knot and went on to welcome three children, Theo, Alex, and Charlie – with the comedian having tattoo of his sons' names. Romesh shot to fame with his deadpan style and has become a household name thanks to stand-up, panel shows, and hit series with pal Rob Beckett. Alongside his hugely successful comedy career and Radio 2 programme, he also co-owns Coughlans Bakery in Oxted, Surrey. And just last month, he delighted fans with his hands-on approach to running the business as he served customers coffees and pastries from behind the counter on Wednesday. The down-to-earth star didn't shy away from pausing his duties to pose for selfies and chat to fans, as well as record video messages for those who missed out. In May delighted fans with his hands-on approach to running the business as he served customers coffees and pastries from behind the counter He was fully kitted out in the bakery's branded cap and hoodie, with videos and photographs from his shift showing him collecting orders and processing payments. His fans were quick to take to social media to heap praise on the comedian for taking the time to speak to all his fans during his surprise shift behind the counter. It is not the first time he has done a stint working in the bakery chain, as he has also thrilled fans with shifts in its branches in Dorking and his hometown Crawley. In February, he told the BBC of his visits: 'It was nice to meet people. I just wanted to get involved. The crowds are better than my tour show.' Romesh, who is a vegan, had initially partnered with the bakery to create a vegan treat, called the Ranga Yum Yum, before going on to become a co-owner. The delicious snack was made a permanent fixture on the menu and Romesh was partly responsible for owner Sean Coughlan setting up a branch in his hometown. Sean previously said of Romesh's involvement: 'Romesh is working behind the counter because he wants to know more about the business. He loves it.' 'He is so down to earth, humble and genuinely one of the nicest guys I ever met,' he added.
