Aaqib's academic journey was nothing short of remarkable. A college graduate fluent in English, Spanish, and French, he was always destined for a career that would capitalize on his linguistic prowess. This skill set not only set him apart from his peers but also opened doors to opportunities that allowed him to engage with a diverse audience. His fluency in multiple languages gave him a unique perspective, enabling him to understand the nuances of different cultures and how they approach the subject of sleep and well-being. This multicultural lens has been invaluable in his role at WantMattress, where he caters to a global audience with varied sleep preferences and needs.
However, what truly sets Aaqib apart is his passion for textiles, a field where he has spent years honing his skills. As the Senior Product Editor for WantMattress, he has found the perfect marriage of his interests—textiles and meticulous attention to detail. Aaqib is not just an editor; he's a connoisseur of fabrics, an expert who can distinguish between Egyptian cotton and organic bamboo with just a touch. His keen eye for detail extends beyond the weave of a fabric to its functional aspects, such as breathability, durability, and comfort. This makes him the go-to expert for anything fabric-related, from mattress covers to luxury bedding sets. His reviews and recommendations are not merely opinions; they are well-researched analyses backed by years of experience and a deep understanding of the textile industry.
Aaqib's favourite sleeping position
"Given my role at WantMattress and my passion for textiles, you can imagine that my approach to sleep is a bit more nuanced than most.
I'm a back sleeper, a position I find aligns well with my focus on spinal health. It also allows me to really feel the texture and support of my bedding, which is crucial given my line of work. For my mattress, I've chosen a hybrid model that combines pocket springs with a top layer of memory foam. The springs offer the firmness I prefer, while the foam adds a touch of contouring comfort.
But where my expertise really comes into play is in the choice of bedding. I opt for Egyptian cotton sheets with a high thread count, known for their breathability and durability. The tactile experience is important to me; after all, I can distinguish between different types of fabric with just a touch."
