We love to talk about mattresses on Apartment Therapy. After all, they're a crucial component to a good night's sleep, and there are so many different options out there. So now we really want to know about your mattress — what kind you have, whether you like it, and what you look for in your bedding.

We've teamed up with our friends at FurnitureToday, a weekly trade magazine for the furniture industry, to bring you this survey. The idea is that by understanding how you shop for and live with mattresses and pillows, we can offer you better bed-related content, and the readers of FurnitureToday can offer you better stores and mattresses! Survey respondents can also enter to win a $100 American Express gift card!

We've been hearing a lot about backyard beekeeping lately. Why all the buzz? Turns out that fresh honey produced from the nectar of your own garden's flowers tastes much better than the store-bought version. Not only that, but fruits and vegetables pollinated by bees grow larger, produce more seeds, and taste sweeter. Our friends at Williams-Sonoma have just introduced Agrarian, a collection designed to bring the virtues of homegrown and homemade onto our everyday tables. This week, they're giving away their Backyard Beehive and Starter Kit to help you get pollinating — talk about a sweet prize!

We love looking for quick, easy and inexpensive ways to brighten up our spaces, and paint is always at the top of the list. But the process of prepping the walls and waiting for several coats of paint to dry can be daunting. That's why we're thrilled to learn about Glidden® Performance Edge 3 in 1™!

Glidden's new 3-in-1 interior premium paint will fill, prime and paint your walls, all with one product! While prime and paint products have been on the market for a while, this unique paint allows you to fill those tiny holes and cracks in your walls before you paint.

This year's Small/Cool 2012 contest, brought to you by our friends at Apartment Guide, has been one of our best ever, with enough gorgeous, inventive and space-efficient entries to keep us inspired until next year's contest! It's especially inspirational to find out what sacrifices some of the entrants made on the way to achieving such small coolness, whether it was working with a quirky floorplan, making do with no closet space or giving up square footage in exchange for location or light.

Helping people navigate these tradeoffs and calculations is one of the things Apartment Guide does best. As one of the most comprehensive apartment search sites on the Internet, they allow consumers to find an apartment by geography, price or amenity, so every apartment hunter can find the home of his or her dreams.

We've been hearing a lot about backyard beekeeping lately. Why all the buzz? Turns out that fresh honey produced from the nectar of your own garden's flowers tastes much better than the store-bought version. Not only that, but up to one-third of the foods that people eat depend on insect pollination, and honeybees are the most efficient insect pollinators! Fruits and vegetables pollinated by bees grow larger, produce more seeds, and taste sweeter.
