You may or may not be aware of the folk-rock band Quilt, but you should get to know their singer, Anna Fox Rochinski, who has cast off the covers to make a very good solo album. Toning down the rock leaves space for her supple voice to shine, as it does on this poppy piano ballad about heartbreak, a description that really undersells what’s inside. Take a listen.

Speaking of bedding, hot on the heels of BPAs and pesticides, it turns out mattresses are full of sneaky chemicals that leak out into your body and mess with your systems. Don’t look at me like that— Vox just wrote a whole thing about it to see if “natural” mattress companies were selling us on fear, but oops, the fear is actually science: Evidently the stuff that makes flame retardants can mess with your liver and kidneys, and the phthalates and whatever else in mattress foam can cause endocrine disruptions, fertility loss, and general inflammation— and the more time you spend rubbed up against these things (say, every night of your life) the worse it is. But that’s true of so much stuff, we’re realizing. Just look at these headlines on yoga pants and mac and cheese powder (so last year, I know). The answer, like we said, is to use products made from natural materials with natural processes, which should be no problem if you can afford to spend roughly a million times more on any given item. $50,000 mattress, anyone?

Even if you’re roaming around naked and sleeping on the floor, none of that can save you from the other silent killer: noise. Research is starting to say that, because noise triggers your brain’s stress response, the more exposure you have, the more likely you are to develop inflamed arteries and heart problems. And where scientists previously thought it was just prolonged, cumulative exposure that caused problems, they’re learning that your body gets disrupted after just one noisy night. The fix, again, is to have enough money move somewhere quieter. Are we noticing a pattern?

Humans developed all this housing and infrastructure to get away from the the things in nature that kill us. But clearly our caves are not so good either, and everyone keeps telling us how important it is to spend time outdoors: First it was forest bathing, and now they’re saying two hours in the park is the new 10,000 steps. To shame you into doing something about it, there’s this new tool called NatureQuant (could we have not done better) that ranks your exposure to the outdoors wherever you are. Just plug in your address to see if you’re in the danger zone like me (9.7 out of 100), or, you know, thriving.
