   starts putting out Halloween decorations, I search for wide-fit ankle boots to wear all fall. It’s difficult, as ankle boots are almost engineered to look best when narrower, but as someone with wide feet who loves the look, I’m always determined to find good candidates.

  Last year, I wore ASOS low-heeled black leather Chelsea boots until a hole wore in the bottom of the heel. This set the bar for the comfort and versatility I seek in an ankle boot, and I set out to find this season’s pick. I called in samples of 19 different styles, colors, and heel heights, and wore them all for weeks. No reviewers on shopping sites normally go into detail about how much their feet were aching after ten hours of commuting, running to meetings, and going on bad dates, so I challenged myself to wear each pair for at least two days, knowing they wouldn’t break in fully in that amount of time, but sacrificing my comfort to share the experience of shoes right out of the box. Here are my 11 favorites (plus a few extras tacked on here and there that didn’t make the cut).

  In Summary

  Good rest is not only dependent on the amount of hours spent in bed, but by the quality and hygiene of the beddings.

  In addition to a good mattress, you need a good pillow, and a spring pillow is ideal because it adapts to the weight, shape and movement of the head during sleep.

  Your mattress and pillow condition is important for your sleep. Good rest is not only dependent on the amount of hours spent in bed, but by the quality and hygiene of the beddings.

  Fresh sets of regularly changed bed sheets are not sufficient to keep your mattress clean.

  Rakesh Shah, the CEO of Vitafoam products Ltd explains, “we spend an average of eight hours a day sleeping, which equates to a third of our lifetime, therefore, it is important to be careful when purchasing mattresses. With so many types of foams on the market, customers find it difficult to choose the right one. The major key aspect of a good mattress is hygiene."

  Mattresses are known to contain the highest amount of dirt in a home, but you can get mattresses treated with nano-technology, which protects against mosquitoes, dust mites, bedbugs and bacteria.

  In addition, these are non-allergenic and have an open-cell structure with breathable properties. Air and moisture freely flow through our foam mattresses.

  “Non-hygienic mattresses or pillows can lead to poor quality sleep, which contributes to depression, low concentration, high blood pressure, heart disease and in some cases it is associated with mental illness."

  The two most popular foam mattresses in the world are memory and high-resilience, which have transformed the way we think about mattresses.

  “Experts recommend memory foam mattresses for improved rest and relief from complaints like back pain. Meanwhile, high resilient foam provides a sleeping surface with even distribution of pressure that is both comfortable and durable."

  In addition to a good mattress, you need a good pillow, and a spring pillow is ideal because it adapts to the weight, shape and movement of the head during sleep, achieving a perfect alignment between head, body and spine.

  As Sharad Barot, the Vitafoam chief operations officer, explains, the spring pillow is non-allergic and has a combination of memory foam and micro pocket springs which help to maintain its form and provide continuous support for neck.

  “The memory foam, also known as visco-elastic foam, in the pillow is heat- and pressure-sensitive and it moulds quickly to the shape of the body. Originally developed in 1960s under a contract by NASA’s Research Center, it was subsequently released for commercial use. The memory foam’s open-cell structure generates more airflow through the foam, resulting in increased comfort and it returns immediately to its normal shape when you wake up. The micro pocketed coils (springs) are fitted together to become an independent suspension system that contours to each person’s form and weight, adjusting instantly to every movement and providing new levels of head support”, Mr Barot says.
