NELL Mattress Named Top Pick for Back Pain by Expert Consumers

A king-size NELL Mattress contains 4,704 individually wrapped pocket coils, compared with roughly 500 to 1,000 coils in a typical mattress, according to brand materials cited in the review.

From Michelin Kitchen to Trading Floor: A Chef's Pivot to Finance

Koblenz – September 15, 2026 -- Florian Sondershausen traded ten-to-fifteen-hour shifts in a Michelin-starred kitchen for full-time trading on global financial markets, eventually co-founding Haag Sondershausen Consulting GmbH to teach others what he learned along the way.

Sondershausen started earning money outside traditional jobs early: at 13 he bought Yu-Gi-Oh! cards cheaply and resold them on eBay, later working as a professional online gamer. Those digital ventures gave him an early feel for markets outside the classroom.

Health problems forced him out of the kitchen

Long shifts in fine dining eventually triggered heart arrhythmia, pushing Sondershausen to look for an alternative career. After his restaurant earned a Michelin star -- the professional goal he had set for himself -- he quit and turned his attention fully to trading.

He said the team turned familiar Coach ideas inside out, softened them and left traces of a celebration on the pieces.
