Promising review: "For years, I saw my wife watch her Korean dramas and YouTube videos in bed, lying on her side with her phone or iPad propped on a pillow! This was not comfortable or easy to move around if interrupted. Got her this and we like it so much I bragged about it and purchased another one for a family member!" —Z

Promising review: "I am delighted with this product. I like to use it while reading and I also use it while sitting on the couch to watch TV. It is the perfect size and extremely supportive yet also cozy A+." —Tiffany Starr

Promising reviews: "This product changed my life. Seriously, I never knew I could love an inanimate object so much. His heavy body is so comforting, at the end of the day all I want is a hug. He even helped me quit nicotine. Instead of reaching for the Juul, I would reach for his big belly instead. I'm not even joking. This guy is the best thing I have ever spent my money on. Do yourself a favor and get a Warmie." —Bryan & Dana

"I bought this for cramps and the occasional aches and pains. He is absolutely perfect. He is so cute and adorable and I find myself reaching for him even when I am not in pain. He’s so snuggly and perfect to cuddle up with and is great for anxiety." —Samantha

Get it from Amazon for $21.50.

Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. It's also a great way to turn on your kettle or coffee brewer from the other room so it's ready for you when you get out of bed!

Promising review: "Super great! Comes with clear instructions, the mobile app is clear and well designed and it's super easy to set the whole thing up. Honestly I'm really happy with the product. Now I don't have to get up all the time when I inevitably forget to turn the lights off. I can just hit the button on my phone and VOOP the little arm comes out and presses the switch!" —Noah R.

Get it from Amazon for $22.91 (available in white and black).

I just got one of these and it is SO COZY. I have used other blanket hoodies before but this one takes the cake simply for being so dang thick. The inside is lined with a supremely fuzzy fabric that beats your typical lightweight fleece and it has a big ol' kangaroo pouch so you can keep track of your phone/remote control/Kindle/whatever else you often lose in your couch or bed. Basically, it's a 10/10.

Promising review: "Warm, soft, cozy, comfortable! All the good adjectives. I might need a couple more for people I love. Yay!" —Sharita B.

Get it from Big Blanket Co. for $119 (available in three colors/designs).

Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse and this technology has helped me get through the night easily.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in three colors).

One side is faux-fur and the other side is plush velvet; the twin set comes with one pom-pom fringed pillow sham, and other size sets include two.

Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it and it's seriously so cozy and well made. My only complaint would be how hard this thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things so I’m here to tell you — if you’re on the fence about buying this ... do it!! Also, the pillowcases are amazing also. Super soft and the pom-pom fringe is adorable." —SK

Get it from Amazon for $51.99+ (available in sizes Twin–King and 29 colors).

Promising review: "I love how soft this is, and how big it is, covers my neck and back. I love the beautiful blue color. I also love how many temperature levels and timer choices there are... I’m very happy and satisfied with this purchase. I use this to help my back pain, my feet for circulation, my stomach for stomach aches, also for my hip bursitis. It’s a great product I highly recommend." —Lisa Gray

Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "One of those items I didn’t know I needed until I had it. As a busy mom of two little ones, I can’t even remember the last time I got to finish a hot cup of coffee. Until now! This truly kept my coffee warm for literal hours. And I love the wood grain look of it. It’s nice and doesn’t look cheap at all. I’m going to keep it on my desk for when I’m working, and I’ll never go without hot coffee again!" —ADR80

Get it from Amazon for $18.63+ (available in two styles and eight colors).

The breathable, deep-pocket topper hugs your mattress like a fitted sheet, so you don't have to worry about it popping off in the middle of the night. Plus — major plus — it's machine washable, so you don't have to drag it to the dry cleaner's.

Promising review: "Whoaaa this thing is amazing. I have a very expensive, firm mattress, that I bought when I was younger. The mattress is still in good shape so I didn’t want to get rid of it. The firm thing just wasn’t working for me anymore. I had a foam mat but it still was too hard. So I got this, put this over the foam mat and it’s like a new mattress. I slept like a rock last night. Haven’t slept that good in a long time. I also like that it’s attached to the mattress pad, so it’s not sliding all over. It slept very cool, I’m assuming that’s because is cotton. Highly recommend if you’re looking to fix a mattress and not have to spend money on a new one." —Julie

Get it from Amazon for $74.91+ (available in sizes Twin–California King).

The cotton cover has 10 heat settings, with an adjustable auto-off timer between one and 12 hours. It is suitable for mattresses up to 15 inches in depth.

Promising review: "We live in Wisconsin where it gets very cold at night. We like to crack the bedroom windows open at night because we prefer a cold room to sleep in. But this makes getting in bed with freezing cold sheets brutal. Not anymore! This mattress pad is a game changer! Turning the mattress pad on before getting in bed makes all the difference in the world; no more freezing cold sheets.

The dual controls are great since I like my side warmer than my husband does his side. The controls are easy to work and see in the dark. The mattress pad is soft and comfortable; you cannot feel the wires at all. It has nice deep pockets that fit on our mattress and memory foam pad very nicely. You will need two outlets to plug into in order for the separate controls to work. One year later…we still love this mattress pad!" —Linda Stranzl

Get it from Amazon for $78.95+ (available in sizes twin–California king).

Promising review: "A coworker suggested this product because I have a tough time falling asleep and do not want to take sleep meds. This smells incredible and, for me, has really worked. It’s a little shocking actually as I didn’t have big expectations for it. I’m on my second bottle however and both my boyfriend and I really enjoy it." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $5.87.

Don't forget your essential oils! Here's a top-rated pack of six for only $9.95.

Promising reviews: "This diffuser is so pretty, and I just love the dim light around the diffuser. I felt it was a little pricey, but it’s made from ceramic and not plastic so well worth it." —Kathy B.

"Best purchase, zero regrets! Love this thing! I purchased the blush diffuser and the Refresh kit. All of the scents were outstanding, and the diffuser itself emits a great stream of vapor and quickly fills my room. ... I want one in every color now lol. It fits any style/home decor. Treat yourself! You won’t regret it!" —Danielle W.

Get it straight from Vitruvi for $123 (available in 10 colors) or from Amazon for $123 (available in nine colors).

PS: If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, ViviTest has a similar diffuser for $30.99.

Promising review: "I was worried when I ordered this and held off for a while. I finally bought it and omg. It is my most favorite thing to wear ever. So much stretch so I’m always comfortable. If you want this outfit and are worried it’ll be some cheap material, it’s definitely not! Highly recommend. I just bought a second color and bought my best friend one too. All the same quality." —Sidney

Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $52.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 29 colors).

With the app, you can set a specific timer or schedule for your curtains. It can be controlled with SwitchBot's smart remote or with any Alexa devices.

Promising review: "These are the bomb! Since installing them, which was very simple, connecting them, also very simple, they have worked great! I have grommet blackout heavy curtains on an extendable rod...I have them automated to open and close at specific times setup through Alexa and they do so without fail. They are not very loud at all...If you can afford it, love smart home devices then these are for you!" —SPD

Get it on Amazon starting at $99.

If you're trying to figure out if this could be a fit for your space, let me give you a few more specs. The projection size ranges from 35–300 inches and can be placed at a distance of 4–25 feet. It's also compatible with TV boxes, smartphones, PCs, laptops, tablets, gaming systems, etc. and has two HDMI, two USB, and one AV, TF, and VGA port.

Promising review: "The quality is absolutely amazing. Indoor use for now but I plan on having a movie night outside soon. The picture can get pretty wide like the size of a mini theater. The color is great as well. Product itself is pretty sleek. Also didn't know the item would be as big as it was but the bigger the better! The surround sound makes you feel like you're in the movie itself. JUST BUY IT!!!" —sheree

Check out a TikTok of the BedShelfie to see it in action!

Promising review: "At first, I was going to try to find something inexpensive, but after looking at everything and reading all of the reviews, I ordered this product for my son's dorm room. It arrived well-packaged and even better than I had hoped. The quality of the product is exceptional, very well-built and super easy to install. My son was confident about putting his expensive notebook on it even though the shelf is on the highest part of his loft. The shelf is very solid and looks great." —Allison M.

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in six styles).

Pro tip: For the most therapeutic effect (increased melatonin, decreased cortisol, and less stress/anxiety), go for a blanket that is roughly 10% of your body weight. It doesn't hurt to go heavier, but it does take some time to get used to, so give it a few days!

Promising review: "I could not be more happy with my Bearaby Napper! The total body relaxation and relief is amazing! I had lower back pain waking in the morning but not anymore!" —Jennifer S.

And more love from BuzzFeed shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer: "I have this in the cooling version (in the color 'avocado') and let's just say I've used it quite a bit in recent times. The large knit style is super chic, and the organic cotton is breathable (and there's nothing in it to create the weight *other* than cotton, so no uncomfy glass beads). I *love* it, and it's actually extremely cute, looking like a regular old fancy blanket! It's heavy, but still I take it from bed to couch and back to bed all the time as I WFH. It doesn't overheat on the couch (thanks to the fabric and the 'holes' in the large knit), but provides a pleasant weight as I watch TV or work. And when it's layered over my duvet, it keeps me extra cozy and warm."

Get it from Bearaby for $199+ (available in four weights and five colors).

The white noise machine offers so much more, too. It also has sunrise/sunset features to help you rise and shine naturally instead of to the blare of an alarm and you can control everything right from your phone. You can personalize and automate your routine as well as fire up sleep stories and meditations with your included free trial of Hatch Premium.

Promising review: "The Hatch Restore is an amazing product that has been able to keep me asleep through the whole night. Over the past month or so, I have had trouble sleeping and this product has really allowed me to get back on track and create a solid routine. One of my favorite features is the wide variety of guided meditations they have to offer. I have found that these truly allow my mind to unwind before bed for an overall better night's rest. This is an overall great product with an intuitive and easy-to-use app. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has been struggling with their sleep." —Jen

Get it from Amazon for $129.99.

Promising review: "OMG!! This is THE BEST pillow ever! I am not pregnant, but I have a plethora of back problems and thought this might help me sleep better. Just the comfort and the way you can lay just about any way with ease is so very helpful. I have only owned this pillow for three hours and had a quick nap, and had to come write a review (which I hardly ever do). So, if you have back, hip, leg or neck problems, you should definitely try this out. Thank you to whomever created this delight!!" —You Wish Louise

Get it from Amazon for $36.95+ (available in two sizes and five colors).

Promising review: "Perfect for my bedroom. Small enough for a dresser or to hide on a nightstand. It comes with an extra part so be careful not to throw it away when unpacking. I just might get another one in a different color." —S. Trujillo

Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I resisted buying this because of the cost. This pillowcase is worth every penny! I have absolutely no hair breakage when I wake up. It’s amazing." —Holly

The popular, anti-clumping pillow features a cotton cover with a breathable percale weave that allows for ample airflow. It's also removable, so you can throw it in the wash whenever it needs a refresh.

Promising review: "My husband and I gave these to each other for Christmas. I have a lot of neck problems and he just doesn't always sleep well. These pillows are amazing, we both sleep so much better. I cannot believe how it has relieved me from waking up with a crick in my neck. I sleep deeper and I love the way this cradles my head but supports my neck. We didn't buy sooner because of the cost, but it is worth every penny!" —Connie Lovell

Get it from Amazon for $54.60+ (available in two sizes and packs of one or two).

The queen-size pillow features a zippered design so you can easily pull out/readjust the down-alternative inserts as needed.

Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in two sizes).

High-quality mattress, nice linens, and THESE pillows! They are PERFECT!!!! There isn't a single thing that can be improved because they are like sleeping on a cloud that supports you perfectly... 100 out of 10 stars! We stayed at the Aria in Vegas for my bachelorette party and had several rooms... the first morning we were ALL talking about the pillows! I'm pretty sure these are the same ones!" —Shawna Hathaway
