Alex Frost

As a former athlete and mother of 5, getting quality sleep is important to Alex. After injuring her back as a gymnast, Alex pays special attention to mattresses and pillows that don't further exacerbate her daily pain. And as a busy mom and small business owner, she's constantly on the lookout for bedding that washes well while still making her bed look somewhat put together (she can't be held accountable for what the two-year-old decides to do). In her work, Alex has rigorously tested more than 20 mattresses, including Saatva, Earthfoam, and Helix, as well as pillows, bedding, mattress toppers, sleep trackers and apps, and pregnancy pillows for over 3000 hours during the last 15 years as a freelance writer. Alex's robust reviews have been featured in Homes & Gardens, Business Insider, Consumer Reports, National Geographic and Forbes. She also has bylines in The Atlantic, Washington Post, Huffington Post, Popular Science, and the New York Times. Follow her work at www.alexandra-frost.com.
