Commerce Director
Expertise: Mattresses, couches, projectors, home tech—basically, if it’s comfy or gadgety, she’s tried it.
About Me: Krista Jones is the Commerce Director at Esquire, overseeing anything and everything that’s shoppable—including fashion, home, tech, travel, and the best gifts on earth. Krista has spent nearly a decade testing and reporting on what people should purchase and why. In the last two years alone, she’s tested and reviewed six mattresses in her home and owned four different sofas. She’s happy to tell you which ones are worth it and which ones are absolutely not. She can break down Dyson vacuum specs at the drop of a hat and believes there’s a different choice for every type of buyer. From affordable home options to luxurious tech, she’s always ready to talk about how the price point stacks up against the quality. She’s never made a misinformed purchase and makes sure you won’t either.
