I was searching for a sheet set that would help me sleep more comfortably at night and found these. I have terrible hot flashes with night sweats and get up in the morning, just miserable. Of course, these do not eliminate my hot flashes as no sheets will, but they definitely make my nights much more comfortable by eliminating wet bedding, and I definitely appreciate that! Aside from their moisture-wicking abilities, they are very soft, easy to look a,t and launder extremely well. I would highly recommend these for anyone shopping for sheet sets and especially for anyone experiencing night sweats!! ' — Shannon Warfel Get it from Amazon for $27.95+ (available in sizes Twin–California King, with deep pockets, and in 40 styles). 3. Microwaveable hugging sloths!

A set of blackout curtains to really complete the cave-like vibe you're going for. Reviewers say the wrinkle-resistant curtains block out light even when the sun is trying its damnest to watch TV with you. Promising review:"I finally invested in blackout curtains for my room and my kids' room, and now I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner! These curtains do exactly what they are supposed to do. My kids are early risers, usually getting up when the sun comes up. Today, I was able to sleep until 9:30 because they were still in bed! I woke up not even knowing what time it was because my room was still so dark, haha! These especially made a huge difference in my room, which faces the side of the house the sun rises on. These curtains are silky feeling, which I wasn't expecting, but it gives a sleek appearance. I highly highly recommend this brand." — Key Monique Get it from Amazon for $15.96+ (available in 30 sizes and 33 colors). 5. And a pack of adhesive shower curtain clips that some clever reviewers use to keep their window curtains closed. Not even a SLIVER of light is invited to your next four-hour nap. Promising review:"I bought these to use on my blackout curtains because there was too much light being let in on the sides of the curtains. This holds the sides of my curtains tight to my wall and keeps all the light out. Very, very happy." — Victoria Get a four-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in an eight-pack). 6. A northern lights projector for anyone who's still bitter about missing the ones seen in the United States. Now you can treat yourself to a North Pole-style light show without having to endure arctic temperatures (or New Jersey). It also plays soothing noises and doubles as a Bluetooth speaker! Promising review:"I love this light! The stars are beautiful, the colors are beautiful. I like that it shuts off in four hours. I use it in my house so I don't have to turn lights on all the time. I like it so much, I just ordered three more to give to my grandchildren. It also has sounds like the sound of rain or ocean waves. And you can even play your regular music on it. Don't be afraid to try it! It's like having the northern lights anytime you want." — Amy J Nelson Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four colors). 7. A Cup Cozy Pillow offering a plush spot with five compartments for your remotes, drinks, and snacks. Never again will you have to get up to look for something that fell between the cushions. What should we watch first? Cup Cozy Pillow Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers. Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action. Promising review:"This thing is great! I'm home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc, close by, even with dogs running around. It's a little more expensive than I would have liked, but it works, and I love it so money well spent!" — Amber Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in nine colors). 8. A set of wildly popular"hotel" pillows so you can feel like you're falling asleep at the Ritz. Reviewers rave that these are the perfect balance of fluffy and firm, meaning you can prop yourself up for a good in-bed TV binge. Plus, they're breathable and cooling, so you won't overheat while wrapped in all those blankets. Promising reviews:"These had great reviews, but I was still a bit skeptical. I'm a bit of a pillow snob. These pillows — these amazing, heavenly pillows — are now my favorite part of going to bed. Soft but firm. How does that work? It gives support for me to sleep slightly propped up but I sink into this comfortable personal cloud. Soft but firm. My head isn't sinking through the pillow to rest on my mattress, but I feel comfortably enveloped. Heaven. I bought two but think that would be too much fluff, so now my husband and I each have one. Buy them. Add to cart. Buy now with one click. Stop the research. You've found the pillows you were looking for." — Marissa Urey "God himself must use these pillows. I have (or had, haha) insomnia, not to mention a bad neck/back *and* hot flashes. The comfort and the cooling is AMAZING (even with a silk pillowcase). Thank you, TikTok, for influencing me!!!!" — Rickie White Get a set of two from Amazon for $59.99 (available in three sizes). 9. A cocoon-like pullover hoodie dress to wear on days when you want to dress up but long for the comfort of your favorite sweatshirt. This thing hits the knees, meaning you can roll into a ball and hide inside it when needed. Promising review: "This dress is perfect for any occasion. I wore it out with sneakers to a ball game and got so many compliments. The material stretches, so it was easy to move in. I later paired it with some dressy flats to go to dinner, and everyone raved about how nice I looked. The material is so soft, and it's the right thickness to keep you warm on a chilly day but not too hot for a sunny day. I will order more." — KJ Get it from Amazon for $43.99 (available in women's sizes S–3XL and 14 colors). 10. A "flaming" humidifier because it's cozy season and we should all really lean into it. This fun illusion offers ambiance, aromatherapy, and a solution to dry air. According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. Promising review: "I like how this diffuser kind of looks like a mini fireplace, and it's perfect for winter. I also like how long the water of this diffuser lasts — I always add my favorite essential oil in it when I go to sleep every night without worrying it will run out of water. I used to have insomnia, and it helped me to sleep through the night with my relaxing essential oil scent, and it also worked as a humidifier." — Benny Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors). 11. A burrow dog bed so your dog can get in on the cuddle session. The blanket-like hood will help your pup reach levels of coziness never before seen in your home. Don't be surprised if they pick this bed over yours. The upper hood detaches and can be used alone as a blanket. Promising review:"Pros: endless cute photos of snuggly babies, more time for myself without being harassed by small hounds. Cons: I'll probably never see my beagles again. They hung a sign on the side of the bed that says 'No Hoomens!' so I can't go in. Bummer, I really liked those two!" — Karon Fairchild Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three sizes and five styles). 12. And a "dog bed for humans" perfect for people who watch their dogs snuggling up and get kinda jealous. Now you can satisfy that dog in you — the dog who loves to nap. Plufl is a small business that made an appearance on Shark Tank. Promising review:"The quality is superb — everything from the material to the stuffing, the stitching, the zipper, etc.! It is easy to assemble and super soft and comfy, yet supportive enough to really provide that extra comfort. The customer service these guys provide is far better than any other! They really care about their product and customers. I think my 6-pound Chihuahua is enjoying it the most, as he feels like a king in this super comfy bed! It may seem like a lot of money, but for the quality of the product, customer service, and ability to throw the cover in the wash, I think it's well worth it!" — Wolfen3D Get it from Amazon for $299. 13. A set of three remote-control flameless flickering candles so you can pretend to be Bonnie Bennett lighting fires with *magic*. You can choose a steady glow or a flicker effect to really sell the cozy ambiance. And if you fall asleep? No big deal because no real flames are involved. Since you're not really a witch, you'll need some IRL magic to make them work (AA batteries). Check out a TikTok of the flameless candles in action. Promising review: "I bought the gold glass candle set. It's almost iridescent gold and looks very elegant. The flame actually moves back and forth. I have mine set to come on in the evening and go off after four hours. The remote allows you to control the brightness of the candle, set a timer for auto on and off, and you can control how bright you want the actual candle inside the glass. I love them and plan to buy the gray glass set for my bedroom. Buy them; you will love them!" — Tammy B. Get them from Amazon for $29.99. 14. A pair of sheepskin insole inserts to add a snuggle factor to your slippers. Now you can pick your slippers purely on aesthetics, knowing these inserts got your back (and feet). As a bonus, the wool offers some extra cushioning and support as you shuffle to bed. Promising review:"Bought these as a refresher for my son's slippers. I know they won't last forever. Neither did the original liners from the slippers themselves. They all flatten out, hence purchasing another set now. These were easy to trim up to fit inside something that is now the shape of his foot. They are a little expensive but not so much as buying a whole new set of slippers, so I find it an acceptable price." — Heather Lunar Get them from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes 6–12 and men's sizes 8–14). 15. A towel warmer to lessen the agony of having to get out of the loving embrace of a hot shower and make a mad dash to your bedroom. Warm towel hugs are just as good, I promise. Amazon It can fit two towels and has an auto-shutoff feature. Promising reviews:"After reading lots of reviews on several different towel warmers, I bought this product for my mom for Christmas. I tested it out before giving it to her. It works great! The timer looks so sleek and fancy. Even at only 15 minutes, you get a nice warm towel! 10/10 would recommend! Already thinking of buying one for myself!" — Kaylee Sierra "Anybody who says you can't buy happiness obviously hasn't bought a towel warmer." — Heather Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in two colors). 16. A paw-shaped chair cushion, because who doesn't want to be lovingly cradled in a kitten's paw? Amazon, Promising review:"I freaking LOVE this paw cushion! This paw cushion absolutely saves my butt. It's not super thick or as filled as you might hope. But I read reviews and was prepared for that. A little extra padding would be great, but even without it, this cushion is soft and comfy! It's still worth every dime. It's perfect if you have one of those hanging indoor/outdoor rope chairs, too! This cushion is soft, cute, and comfortable. Buy yourself this thing. You deserve it." — mandarabbit Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and seven styles). 17. A puffer headscarf so even if you HAVE to go outside, you have a pillow tied to your head for quick naps on the go. The windbreaker hood is filled with synthetic down for extra insulation and general snuggliness. Amazon, Promising review: "I have a great winter puffer coat with no hood — this hat is perfect! It fits your head because you tie it to the right size, and it has a longer back, which tucks right down under your coat collar. And it is reasonably attractive!" — Mrs. W Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in eight colors). 18. A Kitsch satin pillowcase that'll be gentle on your hair, leave fewer creases in your face (huge win for side and stomach sleepers), and just feel nice and cool on your skin. Beauty sleep is a real thing, people! Amazon Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned small business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories. Promising review:"I'm really liking this pillow. I woke up today with nice wavy hair, not dry, tangled hair. I've been trying to grow out the layer of hair on the top back of my head, and it's been so stubborn! Keeps getting tangled and breaks here and there from bleaching and dye damage, but with this new pillow, I notice it doesn't tangle, which means it can grow right without rubbing and tangling/pulling! So I'm excited to see what happens by the end of summer! Also the pillow is soft and is so much prettier in person! 😍😍😍💖💖💖" — Amazon Customer 🌷 Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes standard/queen and king and 14 styles). 19. A fan-favorite all-season comforter if you took your old one out of storage and realized it's a bit lumpy. Over 98,000 5-star reviewers swear by this affordable, machine-washable option thanks to its warmth and cloud-like softness. Amazon Promising review:"This comforter is amazing! I was getting too warm with my down comforter, but I still wanted something soft, and this was the answer. It's very light yet still provides enough warmth that I'm only using this with a flat sheet. It fits perfectly in my duvet cover and comes with loops on each corner and midway between the corners." — Joiseygirl Get it from Amazon for $26.54+ (available in twin–California king and four colors). 20. And a shaggy faux-fur duvet cover lined with soft velvet on the bottom, so no matter what side you touch, you'll be in fuzzy heaven. The set comes with matching pom-pom pillowcases so, yes, your bed is gonna be even more inviting. Amazon One side is faux-fur, and the other side is plush velvet; the twin set comes with one pom-pom fringed pillow sham, and the other size sets include two. Promising review:" This product saves me a ton of money on heat! I got this before fall/winter started, and I'm so happy I did because I never ever have to turn my heat on at night. Even my boyfriend, who gets pretty cold, always feels perfect under this (with no heat on). It keeps me extremely warm and locks heat in like no other blanket. I use a regular cheap duvet inside. I have a full-sized mattress, and it works great with the queen size — but I almost wish I had the king size. When my boyfriend spends the night, it's easy for one of us to have too much blanket. If I had gotten the king, it wouldn't be a problem. So DEF upsize. The color is beautiful, and it's so cozy! Sometimes i sleep with the fur-side down and sometimes I sleep with it normal. Either one is super soft and cozy." — Hannah Get it from Amazon for $51.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and 33 colors). 21. A tablet holder with an attached pillow so reading time (or binge-watching shows in bed) can be extra snuggly. The stand rotates 360 degrees and comes on a curved pillow that's designed to wrap around your body. Promising review:" Best Kindle stand for reading in bed. I said what I said. This looks ridiculous, but it works so well for reading in bed. I used to have one that was clamped to my bedside table, but it was limited to my side of the bed, made reading while side sleeping difficult, and was an eyesore. Tragic. Then I found this and never looked back. This can easily be hidden when not in use and allows you to read however/whenever you want. Seems like it will be great for use during road trips too." — Jenny Get it from Amazon for $42.74+ (available in three colors). 22. A gooseneck tablet and phone stand you can attach to your bed frame or nightstand so you can achieve triple-screen relax mode. While I don't condone watching TV, scrolling on Twitter, and online shopping all at once, it IS something I'm guilty of. Amazon, It works with the iPad Air Mini, Galaxy Tab, Kindle Fire, Nintendo Switch, and other 4.7-10.5-inch devices. Promising review:"It is a very cool device, and I love using it with my Kindle and Kindle page turner for hands-free reading!!! It is very secure and doesn't move once attached properly. It is tough to adjust if it's not attached, and I like that. Highly recommend!" — Dottie Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in black and white). 23. A bead-filled weighted eye mask that'll make you feel like your head is getting a really nice bear hug. Thanks to its light-blocking abilities, it'll help you catch a midday nap. Amazon Promising review:"I bought this for my partner, and he felt that it was too heavy. I, ON THE OTHER HAND, fell in LOVE with this product. It's definitely more on the expensive side but it's so worth it. Especially if you have migraines because it feels like someone is hugging your eyes/face. It feels so amazing. In the mornings, my room gets so bright and always wakes me up, so I use this and instantly fall back asleep. And I LOVE that you can put it in the freezer; it feels so amazing. Also, I like to sleep on my side with my head elevated, and this thing does not slide down. It feels so comfortable. If you've been contemplating, definitely get it — it's worth the splurge!" — Michael Get it from Amazon for $34 (available in six colors). 24. Bovine slippers you'll be talking about until the cows come home. They're fuzzy, they have no-slip soles, and they'll be your go-to pair of house shoes im-moo-diately. Promising review:"I bought these about a year ago, and I'm still wearing them every single day. I love them so much. They are great, and they're durable. I got the ones that don't have the heels on the back. 10 out of 10 recommend." — Beth Kemp Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in women's sizes 6–11, men's sizes 5–10, and three styles). 25. An essential oil spray formulated with lavender and chamomile you can spray in your room, on your sheets, or over your pajamas so you can be surrounded by a soothing scent while you doze off. Amazon Asutra is a small business that sells self-care products. Promising review:"I think this spray might be helping me sleep better, but I'm not positive. What I am sure of is that it smells fantastic! I have tried other sleeping sprays (and just about every sleep product on the market for my resistant insomnia) and this is one of my favorites for just having such a great, comforting smell. It makes my bedroom feel cozier and more inviting (which can be hard for some of us who learn to hate our beds when we can't sleep). So, I think it contributes to my ability to sleep just by making my bed more inviting." — Wiwse Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven scents). 26. And finally, a sweatshirt dedicated to everyone's bedtime hero, the Celestial Seasoning Sleepytime Bear. An inspiration to us all. LaBomba Store / Etsy LaBomba Store is a small business that sells pop culture-inspired sweatshirts. Promising review: "Material is super comfortable. Fit how I expected it to and the shipping was really quick." — Emily Get it from LaBomba Store on Etsy for $13.95+ (available in youth sizes S–XL and adult sizes S–3XL, 13 colors, with or without a hood). Goodnight!
