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 al 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

Idle is a woman-founded small business that partners with a family-owned manufacturer to produce luxe goods in a sustainable, ethical way whilst also providing fair wages. I've had their short robe (in the tobacco abstract design) for about a month now and it's just so dang cozy. It also makes me feel a whole lot more put-together when I decide not to get dressed for — oh — a few hours after I get out of the shower.
Get it from Idle for $148 (available in sizes XS/S–2X/3X and in nine colors/designs).

I just bought this purse for myself and I love it SO much. I was looking for a high-quality bag that wasn't too flashy but had a little somethin' somethin' to it and the croc-embossed leather really nailed that for me. What I really love, though, is that the brand — Hyer Goods, a woman-founded small biz — uses all sustainable materials including leftover deadstock leather from other producers. This prevents *tons* of perfectly good fabric from being sent to landfills every month and means no extra greenhouse gas emissions are required to create their materials.
Promising review: "I am OBSESSED with the mini tan croc bucket bag. It is so fabulous. The design is stunning and the quality is superb. I got so many compliments using it this weekend. It feels good knowing this bag is made from leather destined for waste. I love the design and quality so much I just ordered the tan croc wallet. Thank you Dana for providing such beautiful products (and incredibly fast shipping — received my order to LA in 3 days!)" —Rachel D.
Get it from Hyer Goods for $195.
What's included: Milky Jelly Cleanser, Super Bounce serum, Priming Moisturizer Rich, Balm Dotcom (in Original and Rose), Futuredew oil-serum hybrid, and a pink, nylon-spandex headband (ideal for use while washing your face).
Promising review: "I absolutely love this set and would recommend it to anyone who wants to see if Glossier's skincare is for them. I really loved all the products and for such a price it's a pretty risk-free way to test them out without committing to the full sizes. It would be great to see one of the balms replaced with another product like another serum or the solution though!" —Becca
Get it from Glossier for $50.
Promising review: "I am pleasantly surprised (one might say shocked) by how well this little device does its job. I’ve been doing a lot of hiking in the past few months, and have unfortunately come to the conclusion that my muscle recovery time isn’t what it used to be. The Theragun Mini has been amazing for post-hike wind-down, and I don’t feel the icky next day soreness nearly as much anymore. I haven’t tried percussive massagers but can say that the intensity and benefits are easily comparable to a regular in-person massage session. It's easy to hold/handle. Battery time is more than acceptable —it takes about an hour to fully charge, which gives about two hours of runtime. It's very quiet for how powerful it is. it’s high-pitched and kind of sounds like an electric toothbrush. It’s also really portable and comes with a soft protective case that I’ve also been storing it in. This is definitely a good introductory device into the world of percussive massagers. It has changed my well-being for the better." —Olga
And more from BuzzFeed writer Christine Forbes: "This massager is everything I never knew I needed. I can feel it shaking every drop of tension out of my body. It's great. I only use this for about a minute on every muscle group, but it still makes a difference. Plus, the size makes it easy to store and carry."
Get it from Amazon for $199 (available in two colors).
If you grow super attached to a piece and can't bear to part with it, you can always buy it, too! Rocksbox will apply your $21 monthly membership fee to the purchase and you'll just pay the difference.
Get it from Rocksbox for $21/month.
Promising review: "So! Here’s the tea for my large-chested ladies. I’m 36/38F and have a relaxed breast shape so I was very pleasantly surprised that this worked on me. It is by no means a sports bra for a large chested woman, but definitely a cute and casual look for relaxing at home or just wanting to feel confident in something a little more revealing while not wearing a bra! While I definitely don’t think this is perfection, for $20, it’s awesome." —Morgan Barton
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 19 colors).
Promising review: "I absolutely adore these patches, they are like the number-one product that I repurchase again and again because I just can't get enough of them. They're the perfect pick-me-up in the morning and the best wind-me-down at night before bed after taking my makeup off. I leave them on for way longer than the recommended time because they just feel so good that I don't wanna take them off. The jelly-like texture of the patches is so satisfying and it has the most amazing cooling, refreshing sensation, it's almost menthol-like but it doesn't irritate my eyes at all. You HAVE to try these, I recommend them to everyone any chance that I get!" —Ulta Reviewer
Get a pack of five from Ulta Beauty for $15.
The Cloud is a great pick for eco-conscious shoppers, too. Each comforter is make with Earth-friendly eucalyptus and ~50 recycled plastic bottles.

Beans for the single-origin releases and blends are sourced from around the world before being roasted in Los Angeles. And you can trust the guys behind Yes Plz — Tony (Tonx) Konecny and Sumi Ali — as the coffee-obsessed duo worked as baristas, head roasters, and "nomadic coffee consulters" at beloved joints like Intelligentsia, Blue Bottle, and Victrola Coffee before diving into their own direct-to-consumer roasting company.
Get it from Yes Plz Coffee for $17+ (available in two sizes and your choice of one to four shipments a month).
Jot's Ultra Coffee not only tastes incredible, but it's also more eco-friendly than regular ol' concentrate as every batch is made *only* from Fair Trade coffee beans and the leftover grounds are composted. Each 6.8-ounce bottles makes 14 cups of coffee, so $24 gets you two full weeks of caffeine.
PS: Try it over ice cream for a super simple affogato!
Promising review: "I have never really been a coffee person and found the whole process pretty laborious. But being able to make an amazing cup of coffee with just some hot water has changed all of that. Highly recommend!" —Vince M.
More from BuzzFeed shopping writer Mallory Mower: "I am rather certain that there is more Jot than blood in me by this point. After discovering how delicious this stuff is, I totally dropped my expensive cafe habits and have stuck to this for my daily cup of coffee. It has a rich taste, is wildly easy to make (just pour a tablespoon into 8 ounces of your favorite base), and the SEXY bottle even makes the inside of my fridge look nice."
Get it from Jot for $24.
Touch Radiance is a Black-owned small business business based in Canada.

When founder Niclas “Nick” Luthman was diagnosed as prediabetic, he set out to make an ice cream that he could still enjoy while making sure he was taking care of his health.

It stays on the skin for five minutes, it’s so easy to pop some self-care into my schedule with this mask! It leaves my skin glowing and clear! Smells good! It does take a lot of water to get off but that’s fine, it does it’s job!" —TheRitzC
Get it from Sephora for $22+ (available in two sizes).
I have this set (in the sage color pictured here) and they're soooo silky. I've recently turned into a sheet/linen snob and as such, I have to say I am very pleased — especially with the deep pockets which prevent the fitted sheet from popping off every time I move.
What's included: One fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two pillowcases (except twin sets which come with one).
Promising review: "Love my new sheets! Super soft and silky, fits very comfortably over my mattress topper as well. I never used to use a flat sheet but now I do because it feels like being in a silky envelope :)))" —Camille E.
Get them from ettitude for $134.40+ (originally $168+; available in sizes twin–Cal king and 11 colors/patterns).

A few years ago — when I used to live with a roommate — I spotted this stuff in the shower and decided to "borrow" some (TY, TY Sam!). From the moment I opened the lid and got a sniff of it, I was SOLD. To put it lightly, the scent is intoxicating. Like really — I wish you could smell it through the screen. Second, it does what it's supposed to do. I apply it after shaving — rubbing it in circles so the crystals really exfoliate my skin — and it leaves my legs so smoothhhhhhhh. The scent also lingers for a really long time which I obvi love.
Promising review: "I needed something to exfoliate my back, shoulders, and arms. This is a great exfoliator. It's not too rough, but it gives great exfoliation. Once I opened the jar, I was pleasantly surprised with how great this product smells. Added bonus!" —kcs
Get it from Serena & Lily for $298+ (available in sizes Twin–King/California King and in eight colors).
I bought this last year after reading the reviews for every winter duvet insert on the internet (sadly not even exaggerating). Luckily, my research paid off and this is extremely warm, super lofty, surprisingly affordable, and just perfect in every way imaginable.
Promising review: "After reading multiple reviews for other comforters, I chose this one. Best decision ever!!! This comforter is perfection and I plan to buy another for our guest room. Thick, comfy, warm and affordable. I tossed it into the dryer for a few minutes after I took it out of the packaging and it fluffed way up! Chose to buy a king size for our queen size bed and am glad I did. The size is exactly what I hoped for." —Jenna
Get it from Wayfair for $82.99+ (originally $105.99; available in sizes Twin–King).

I seriously stan K-beauty brand Peach & Lily's products (I use their gel moisturizer every day) and have been using this clarifying cleanser for a few weeks now. I have pretty sensitive skin so switching products is often a gamble but this hasn't done me wrong! It's fragrance-free and very gentle and I love how it suds up when applied. I find it comparable to First Aid Beauty's cleanser (my usual go-to; check it out here) — not in consistency/look, but in how fresh and clean my face feels after. Plus, it's like less than half the price!
FYI: The brand — founded by Alicia Yoon — is also Asian- and woman-owned.
Get it from Peach & Lily for $10.99.
Promising review: "We love this lounge chair!!! The price was fabulous!! (And just a note... If you take care of your things — i.e. cover up the swing with a tarp and bring the cushions in when not using it — It will stay like new. Sun and rain can age anything! Easy-peasy!!) This lounge swing is so comfortable, and made very well!! And it only took my hubby and me only 25 to 30 minutes to put together. Take my word for it... you are not going to find a nicer lounge swing at this price!!" —Marash

"Bala is a woman-owned business that sells various pretty exercise equipment. I have these bands and love 'em! They have super strong loop and hook tape so you can strap them on tight (no sliding weights while punching, lifting, running, jumping, etc.). Best of all, they're just really, really pretty!"
Get them from Amazon for $49+ (available in 13 colors).
Modern Picnic is a woman-owned small biz from Ali Kaminetsky. I have the brand's Luncher in green faux croc and no one believes me when I say it's a lunchbox! It's just the right size for a small meal/smattering of snacks as it can fit a sandwich and side salad or a few hard seltzers, cheese, crackers, hummus, and veggies. I like that there are built-in slots for my utensils so they don't get lost in the bottom of the bag and the whole thing is rather rigid so if you're carrying something heavy like a drink, it won't drag down the whole bottom.
Promising review: "To everyone out there — you NEED this!! You can use this chic classy tote for: lunch for work, snacks for kids, breastmilk transport from work, IVF injectables (so you can actually leave your house and not carry a cooler). I could go on and on! I want one for every season!! Thank you for making my life classier. The Luncher just makes me smile with all the possibilities it can be used for." —Heather
Get it from Modern Picnic for $149 (available in 16 colors/styles).

Promising review: "This is the tool of 2020! Zoom meeting? No problem — pedal away! Teleworking? No worries about your cardio! I’ve been struggling to balance a new baby, running a business remotely and getting exercise — until now! This bike is a lifesaver. The desk and seat are fully adjustable and it comes fully assembled (other then having to put in the desk). It rolls easily and stores small. I can’t recommend highly enough!" —Angela P

There's no soil, no loose seeds, no needing to move it in/out of direct sunlight, etc., etc. You literally just plug it in, pop in the pods, give them an initial spritz, and watch it get to work!
Promising review: "I travel a lot for work and the AeroGarden, despite its price, has actually saved me a lot of money. I love fresh herbs and lettuce but I tend to throw so much away. With this I pick what I need which I love. The leaves are lush and huge compared to store bought bagged/boxed mixes which are great for sandwiches and burgers. I have three of these, two with herbs and one with various lettuces. The company is great, too; I had a seed pod that didn't sprout and they sent me a new one." —Vanessa MS
