20 Sleep Products That Actually Work

Therabody SleepMask ($99)

This vibrating sleep mask (yes, you read that correctly: it vibrates) aims to relax your mind and body through three adjustable pulse patterns, which you can control based on your preferences. If that doesn't do the job, its blackout fabric and sound therapy options, which you can sync up to via the Therabody app, certainly will.

Editor quotes: "My first impression of the mask was that it is super comfortable. There's a plastic piece at the top of the mask (which contains the on/off button) that I was worried I'd feel all night, but it somehow disappears when you put the mask on. I loved the thick, plush cushioning around each eye cover, which was completely effective at sealing out light and kept the mask from actually touching my eyelids, so I could forget I was even wearing it." — Mirel Zaman, content director, Health & Fitness.

"The mask worked wonders for me. I have a smaller-sized nose bridge, and as a result some other sleep masks I've tried allow light to come in. I didn't have this problem with the Therabody SleepMask. The adjustable strap made it easy to find a close fit, and the contours of the material stayed in place without movement." — Jade Esmeralda, staff writer, Health & Fitness

It's practical, modern-looking (so you don't have to sacrifice on style), and compact enough that it'll fit within even the smallest home spaces and apartments." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Shopping

Once it's time to go to bed, I fall asleep almost instantly and — miraculously — will wake up the next morning without any feelings of grogginess or lingering fatigue." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Shopping

Made from gentle silicone, they offer a comfortable fit while effectively blocking out unwanted noise. Check out how these practical tools work in this review of Loop Quiet Ear Plugs.

Editor quote: "What I noticed right away [wearing these] is that all the little background house noises I would normally hear faded away. I couldn't hear the whir of the fan, my dog's nail's on the wooden floor, her jingling collar, cars driving by outside, or my husband flipping pages in his book when reading in bed. All I could hear was the quietness of my own breath. I was able to focus on deepening my inhales and exhales and use the first few minutes when my head hit the pillow to meditate or to quiet my mind from the day's worries or tomorrow's to-do list." — Jenny Sugar, former staff writer, Fitness

Editor quote: "The Five Minute Journal is easy to use and has been a game changer for my days. I like to keep it on my nightstand, so I never forget to journal." — India Yaffe, former associate editor, Shopping

Nodpod Gentle Pressure Sleep Mask ($34)

We're confident you've heard of weighted blankets, but what about weighted eye masks? Wearing it distributes gentle pressure that shoppers say help them relax. Read our review of the Nodpod Gentle Pressure Sleep Mask.

Editor quote: "My sleep pattern is usually pretty hit or miss: I either sleep like a log or wake up every two hours, there's no in-between. I experienced the former using my Nodpod. As someone who has always wanted a weighted blanket, but never truly felt like splurging, this product is a great middle ground." — Murphy Moroney, former associate editor, Family

Hotel Sheets Direct Bed Linen Set ($67, originally $75)

Say goodbye to uncomfortable, hot, and sweaty sheets with this cooling bedding. They have tens of thousands of five-star ratings and are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, which means they're free of materials that are potentially harmful to human health. Above all, though, they're soft, lightweight, and cooling, and it sure helps that they're not hundreds of dollars.

Moon Juice Magnesi-Om Sleep Supplement ($40, originally $44)

Forgo your usual nighttime tea in favor of this sleep supplement drink for a better night's rest. Per the brand, the powder supplement is designed with ingredients that work to "restore cellular balance for relaxation, brain health, and regularity." One editor detailed her experience using the alternative in this review of the Moon Juice Magnesi-Om Sleep Supplement.

Editor quote: "If you (like me) struggle to relax come nighttime and have been looking for a solution to help you fall asleep more easily, this powder supplement is absolutely a worthwhile investment. It's made from sustainably sourced ingredients that you can feel good about consuming, and thanks to its powder form, it's easy to incorporate into any preexisting evening regimen. Moon Juice also offers the option to buy individual packs or subscribe at a cheaper rate, so you can have refills regularly shipped to your home." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Shopping

YIVIEW Sleep Mask ($13, originally $15)

Traditional sleep masks are great and all, but this memory foam one's extra special because it has a contoured design that makes it possible for you to blink while you're wearing them (which isn't the case for most options on the market).

Slip Silk Pillowcase ($67)

Investing in a silk pillowcase is a wise choice for those who prioritize their hair and skin routines. With its ability to minimize friction, silk pillowcases can prevent hair tangling and potential damage, while also potentially aiding in the prevention of wrinkles. Read our review of the review of the Slip Silk Pillowcase for more.

Editor quote: "The 100 percent silk pillowcase completely eliminates my bedhead and has improved the health of both my skin and my hair. Although the $79 price tag is pretty steep for me, I've decided it's totally worth it. Ordinary cotton pillowcase can pull moisture and skincare products away from your skin, while silk pillowcases keep your hydration where it belongs — on your face." — Sarah Siegel, former assistant editor, Beauty

Bearaby Hand-Knit Weighted Blanket ($199)

It's highly likely you've heard of this weighed blanket before; it's one of the most aesthetically pleasing options on the market. Made from 100 percent cotton, it boasts a chunky, hand-knit design that looks good in your bedroom and helps you relax after a long day. One of our former editors was obsessed; read her review of the Bearaby Napper for more.

Editor quote: "I also appreciate there isn't an inner layer of beads or sand. (These are two material options commonly used by brands to make their blankets heavy.) Each Bearaby blanket is hand-knit and devoid of artificial fillers, and the layered, thick knit contributes to its weight. This construction ensures an even weight distribution, a benefit not guaranteed with other filler types. Equally significant for me is its machine-washable nature. Without that feature, I'm not sure I could deem it practical." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Shopping

Hatch Restore ($170)

This TikTok-famous device was created to help you personalize a sleep-wake routine that helps you fall asleep faster and wake up refreshed. It has so many cool features, including relaxing sounds, soothing lights, and more. Read our complete review of the Hatch Restore for more.

Editor quote: "I set my alarm to go off automatically at 7:30 a.m. Monday through Friday, and sure enough, I've woken peacefully every day at that time. Hatch's sunrise alarm (which you can alter the color of) slowly rises as the sun would, and you can choose from a list of sounds to gently wake you. I've really enjoyed this feature for kick-starting my day, as it doesn't feel as intense as a typical alarm does." — Haley Lyndes, former assistant editor, Shopping

Helight Red-Light Sleep Device ($139)

Red light is known to offer a number of different health benefits, and this particular device is designed to help users fall asleep faster naturally — no melatonin or sleep supplement necessary. Check out our review of the Helight Sleep Device for the full product details.

Editor quote: "First and foremost: this device actually works. As I mentioned, I use an Oura Ring to track my sleep, and I've noticed that on the nights when I use the Helight, I fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Since 'quitting' melatonin supplements, one of the things I pay close attention to on my Oura Ring stats is 'latency,' which tracks how quickly I fall asleep. Too fast means my body is likely overtired; too slow could mean any number of different things, from not being tired enough to racing thoughts keeping me awake. I've found that whenever I use my Helight, I fall asleep within 15 to 20 minutes of lying down. Without it, it can sometimes take me up to 45 minutes." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer

Cozy Earth Stretch-Knit Bamboo Pajama Set ($156, originally $195)

Sometimes elevating your sleeping routine can be as simple as investing in a quality pair of pajamas — and this plush set is a cult-favorite for a reason. Made from a 95 percent bamboo-based viscose and five percent spandex material, the style is equal parts breathable and cozy (hence the name). One editor called them the "softest pajamas on the internet" in this review of Cozy Earth Bamboo Pajama Set.

Editor quote: "Cozy Earth's Bamboo Pajama Set is by far the best pair of pajamas I have ever owned. From the feel to the look, these exude luxury. But let's start with the texture and the fabric, since these are the standout details. The brand says the pajamas are made from viscose from bamboo, but the material might as well be described as 'slices of heaven.' It's silky and smooth with cloudlike softness, with the ideal amount of slip that allows you to move around without friction. The fabric offers a bit of stretch and flexibility, too. The PJs are warm and cozy yet lightweight and breathable, meaning I can wear them through all seasons of the year." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, Shopping

Purple Harmony Pillow ($215, originally $239)

Despite the initial sticker shock of spending over $100 on a pillow, numerous shoppers say it's worth it. What makes it stand out from the rest is Purple's signature ventilated gridded latex filling, which works wonders at regulating temperature, making it a must-have for hot sleepers. The pillow's one-of-a-kind soft and malleable design provides a gentle cradle for your neck, delivering pressure-free support that truly sets it apart.
