The Best Products to Improve Your Sleep and Make Your Mornings Brighter
Because you deserve a more satisfying slumber.

Here’s a personal goal that’s always worth committing to: getting great sleep. While the amount of sleep that every person needs varies widely, according to the National Institutes of Health, most adults need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep each night. But what really matters is how you feel when you wake up. Factors like your room temperature, blue-light exposure, stress level, bedding comfort, and diet are just a few things that can greatly impact your restfulness each night.
No two sleepers are alike, so the products you need to get comfortable for a restful night might be a little different for everyone. Check out our guide to the 40 best products to help you sleep, enhancing your bedroom, nightly routine, and — hopefully — mood.
Maybe your bedroom environment is perfect, but it's your GERD or acid reflux that's keeping you up at night. If your doctor has recommended that you get a wedge pillow, this is a good one for most people.
It’s designed to elevate the upper body up to 7.5 inches at its highest point, and its surface is padded with 1.5 inches of memory foam atop a high-density foam base. Weighing under 7 pounds, it won’t feel like lugging around a cement block if you want to reposition it.
Many reviewers with acid reflux say that this pillow offers the perfect angle to alleviate painful symptoms, and it's soft enough for side sleepers to comfortably use, too.

If a back massage before bed sounds like just the thing to take your mind off the worries of tomorrow, enjoy some on-demand bodywork with this electronic back and neck massager.
This user-favorite massager is about the size of a small throw pillow, and it comes equipped with adjustable straps that allow you to affix it to the back of a seat so that it can be angled right to the area of the most tension.
Its four red massage balls rotate to administer a rhythmic, shiatsu-style massage to the area of choice, changing direction every minute. Plus, the device is heated for added relief.
Sometimes a simple, low-tech solution is all you need to catch those elusive zzz’s. Loop’s silicone earplugs help block out sounds that might wake you in the night without the risk of digging too far into your ear — that’s what that cool-looking loop is for.
Plus, unlike disposable foam earplugs, these can be endlessly washed and reused.
If you're a chronic snorer, you may find yourself frequently waking up with inflamed sinuses ... as well as a grumpy bed partner.
For everybody's sake, try using these simple, drug-free nasal strips to help you breathe easier while you sleep. These strips also work well if you're congested due to allergies or a cold.
This set of cooling sheets from Slumber Cloud may feel just like regular cotton sheets, but they have a hidden special feature.
These are woven with Outlast fibers, which have been shown to absorb excess heat and then release it to help the sleeper maintain a comfortable body temperature. Even Good Housekeeping touts this set for both its softness and effectiveness.
Your lumpy old pillow is doing your back no favors. While round and puffy pillows may seem like the ideal thing to help you sleep, side and stomach sleepers are usually better off with a lower-loft pillow that still offers support — like Leesa's Premium Foam Pillow.
Made of one piece of perforated, adaptive foam, this pillow is springy and soft, helping to hold the head in better alignment with the spine. Its outer cover gives it a nice, cozy feel while also dispelling body heat.
Love your pillow but hate your mattress? If you really can't swing buying a brand-new one right now, getting a mattress topper is the next best thing. If you know you need the support of foam, but you're just not sure what level of firmness is right for you, check out this one from Coop Home Goods.
This 4-inch-thick topper is made to be flipped so that you can pick between a softer or firmer level of foam. Many reviewers, particularly those who cite body aches and back pain, tout that this topper was just what their mattress needed for that extra level of comfort.
By now, you’ve probably heard all about essential oil diffusers. While they don’t offer a magic cure for insomnia, diffusing oils like lavender, cedarwood, and bergamot have been shown in some studies to aid with sleep quality. At the very least, they can still make your bedroom environment a very pleasant and relaxing place.
The Stone Diffuser from Vitruvi is one of our favorite diffusers because unlike pretty much any other model you can buy online, this one looks like a beautiful piece of art when it’s not being used to vaporize water and oils.

Vornado Vornado VFAN Vintage Air Circulator Fan

Vornado Vornado VFAN Vintage Air Circulator Fan
A stuffy, too-warm bedroom calls for some refreshing airflow. Unlike those chunky plastic table fans that are total eyesores in the bedroom, this retro-style Vornado fan is so much cooler.
It has three speeds that are super easy to control, and you can set and forget it while you snooze with its breeze directly on you.
When it's cold, all we want to do is get really cozy, and sometimes the only way to do that is by having a heated blanket on hand. This plush blanket from Sunbeam is equipped with three different heat settings, and not only is it soft, but it’s conveniently machine-washable as well.
For safety, its 3-hour auto-shutoff function offers total peace of mind, so you never have to worry about falling asleep with it on.

Developed to help promote better sleep habits and improve the quality of sleep in adults, the CBD-infused Dream Tincture is a calming blend of natural ingredients.
It includes myrcene and linalool — all-natural sedatives and stress relievers — antioxidant-loaded, cold-pressed olive oil, supremely fragrant and stress-relieving Bulgarian lavender, and full-spectrum CBD. A full dropper (1 milliliter) of this tincture delivers a 25-milligram CBD dose, which is ideal for beginners. We've found that the effects are pleasantly subtle and soothing.
Sleep masks are one of the most reliable products to help you sleep. This sleep mask is lightweight, no-frills, and very inexpensive — it's also Wirecutter's top pick. The magic is in the construction. Its domed eye holes are ideal for restless sleepers who can't help but open their eyes throughout the night, and it's also helpful for those who really don't like anything touching their eyelids.
Though many similar products to the Nidra eye mask exist, reviewers note that its adjustable straps are way more comfortable and less itchy against the head and ears than other brands' masks.
Although the Headspace meditation app is pretty much a household name at this point, you may still feel a little skeptical of how something so seemingly ethereal can have such a profound impact.
If meditating on your own or with a timer hasn't felt effective, opting for a guided practice like what Headspace offers can be a great jumping-off point. It can help you become aware of your own thought spirals while also fine-tuning your focus and even lowering your cardiovascular risk.
The app is free to download and starts all users off with 10 trial meditations. Once those trial meditations have been completed, subscribers can sign up for a monthly or yearly package, gaining access to hundreds of guided meditations, and even a dedicated sleep-specific section meant to help those who struggle with insomnia.
