If it's not about sleep, it's not worth a peep.
This mattress is an office favorite and the crown jewel of one BuzzFeeder's Sleep Palace. If this one (somehow) isn't the mattress of your dreams, I recommend looking through this list of the 18 best mattresses you can buy on Amazon.
Promising review: "THIS BED IS ALL YOU NEED IN THIS LIFE." —Kimberly wilkins
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in sizes twin-king and in thickness 6-12 inches).
Promising review: "I'm very impressed thus far and absolutely would recommend this to anyone and everyone. I've honestly never been this excited to go to sleep. My fiancé loves it, even though he was a bit upset when I first got it because he loved the mattress the way it was. But, now he loves THIS more. Even my little doggie, who has become a neurotic mess since my baby was born, seems a tad more comfortable and peaceful sleeping next to me. Just writing about this mattress topper makes me want to go upstairs and jump in bed!" —Khaleesi'sHandMaiden
Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes twin-California ing, and in thicknesses of two or three inches).
Going to bed even mildly dehydrated can disrupt your sleep, according to the National Foundation of Sleep. But try to avoid drinking too much water close to bedtime, so you don't have to get up and use the bathroom after you've already snuggled in (which is the worst reason to get out of bed)!
Promising review: "I always like to keep a reusable bottle on me, and this collapsible bottle makes it so much easier. It fits nicely in my purse, rolls and unrolls easily, and it feels very sturdy." —T Simmons
Get it from Amazon for $10.95 (available in six colors).
Check out this post from the National Sleep Foundation, on how exercise impacts sleep quality. When not using this mat to cushion more involved bodyweight exercises (ideally done more than three hours before bedtime), you can use it to wind down with yoga and light stretching. Also, I don't know what the official name for that (above) pose is, but it's the same one I do every night before fully sinking into my mattress, tbh.
Promising review: "I've had this mat for about two years and the quality is holding up through daily use. The only maintenance I've had to do so far is wiping it down with a cloth every other week or so. I highly recommend this, if you're looking for an exercise/stretching mat with extra cushioning." —Austin H.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in eight colors).
Check out this post for the full deets on this blanket!
Promising review: "If you have racing thoughts or feel uneasy when going to bed, something about the extra weight this blanket distributes around your body really helps calm those feels down and makes you feel protected. The blankets are super-high quality and I really enjoyed the texture of the glass beads as stuffing (instead of poly pellets). Overall, these blankets are less expensive than blankets made by their competitors, so I think it's definitely a worthwhile purchase for anyone dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or just people who want to have a better quality of sleep." —Alina
Get it from Amazon for $68.50+ (available in weights 5-30 pounds, sizes 36"x48"-80"x87", and in six colors)
When I was a barista (and had to wake up at the ungodly hour of 5 a.m.), I used to drink a cup of this tea with an added tablespoon of raw honey and apple cider vinegar every night, two hours before bed, and it really helped me calm down and sleep. Speaking of coffee, if you can switch to matcha tea for your caffeine fix, it's much easier to maintain a regular sleep schedule, in my experience.
Promising review: "This tea is a box of magic. Calming, soothing, healing, I can't really explain what it is, but I knew I didn't want to live without it, from my first sip. This is my favorite way to put myself to sleep. Gentle, and it tastes like love." —SJDuchess
Get it from Amazon for $6.
The classic mask-and-earplug combo really changed my (bed) life, and I recommend taking look at these similarly life-changing sleep products. You should probably go ahead and buy an additional pack of earplugs that are featured in that post, tbh.
Promising review: "I have purchased several different sleep masks, and this one is the keeper. I love that it doesn't smoosh my eye lashes and that this mask isn't hot like the silk ones are. It stays perfectly in place and not a speck of light gets through." —Jaqueline Whitlow
Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in three colors).
Imagine how deeply you'll breathe (when using the 4-7-8 technique) if you're rewarded with lavender each inhale. Check out this mist and 21 other things/tips for people who are sick of feeling tired, compiled for you by a member of BuzzFeed's Dream Team.
Promising review: "This stuff works! I spray it on my pillow, sheets, and myself before going to bed, and it prevents restless legs, calms my nervous system, and helps me drift to sleep." —S.W., NC
Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in six mist mixes).
Slap a silk pillowcase on this baby and doze into the sunset, partner.
Promising review: "I've had this pillow for almost a full year and I still LOVE it to death. I have washed it many times and it still looks brand new, and it still has the same fullness as when I first got it! There isn't one derogatory thing I could possibly say about this pillow. It's WELL worth every single dollar." —Cathie
Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (in sizes standard-king).
This noise machine has 20 sound settings (white and fan noises) engineered to match and adapt to the sounds of the room it's placed in, and I LOVE IT! Living in NYC, or anywhere that isn't silent at night, this noise machine is more than worth its $50 price tag.
Promising review: "I'm happy to report the LectroFan lives up to its reputation as an excellent sound-blocking machine. I just turn up the volume until I don't hear offending sounds anymore, and the timer shuts off the machine when I am fast asleep. I'm a sound-sensitive light sleeper and this is the best noise blocker that I've ever used!" —Joel Miller
Get it from Amazon for $49.95 (available in two colors).
Promising review: "We have a neighbor that turns their kitchen light on at 3 a.m. every night, and also has a floodlight that shines right into our bedroom. Nothing else kept all the light out, but these definitely did the trick! I'd highly recommend these to anyone who values their sleep!" —Justin
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes 42"x63" to 52"x96", and in nine colors).
This pillow was our mid-priced pick, when we reviewed the best travel pillows on BuzzFeed Reviews!
Promising review: "I purchased this for my first cross-country red eye and it did not disappoint. I was the envy of row 37. More than a neck pillow, it's the best sleep on a plane I've ever had. If I had two necks, I would buy another one." —K. Ramsey
Get it from Amazon for $24.97+ (available in child and adult sizes and in seven colors).
Oils here, get your essential oils here! Depending on which oils you use and when, this diffuser can either get you in the zone for a pre-sleep meditation session (with a sage oil) or clear out your sinuses while you sleep (with a peppermint oil).
Promising review: "The essential oil mix I use at night helps me relax, therefore allowing me to get a more fulfilling night of sleep. In the morning, I switch to a more vibrant blend that helps me wake up and feel more energized. This has definitely been my favorite purchase of the year so far, and hopefully you will love it too!" —chodgson
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in three colors).

It doesn't make you a bad dog-parent, just because you need to maximize your space in the bed.
Promising review for the big bed (on the left): "Great dog bed with nice, thick cushions for my senior dog's old bones. I've been looking for a thicker dog bed, and this one is well worth its price." —Karen
Promising review for the smaller bed (on the right): "My 45-pound Lab/Pit mix loves to burrow and fits in this bed with room. She loves it!" —Katie
Get the bigger bed from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in two sizes) or the smaller bed for $24.99+ (available in two sizes, and in eight colors).
The National Sleep Foundation recommends wearing socks to bed, because warming your cold feet causes vasodilation (dilation of the blood vessels) and tells your body it's time for bed, so you should take advantage of that in a cute way!
Promising review: "I wore these during a cold snap (temps in the teens) in our house with cold tile floors and they kept my feet warm, but not too hot. I then wore them several weeks later when the temp was 70 (and cold inside the house) and my feet, again, felt perfect. I was worried they would frizzle, fray, or the inside would separate from the outside when I washed them, but they came out good as new! I have recommended these to several friends and will continue to wear them with pleasure. They are currently my favorite pair of socks and I intend to purchase another pair with a different animal!" —Nick and Lauren
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in eight other animal themes).
This supplement was featured in our list of 25 products swear by for getting more sleep, alongside a lot of other products you need in your life.
Promising review: "This is the ONLY thing that helps me sleep. I’ve tried other melatonin, Benadryl, prescription medication, and nothing worked until these chocolates." —Rachel Goldberg
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $27.99 (also available in a 12-pack or an 80-count bottle).
Promising review: "I just received my second 20-pound bag of this marvelous bath salt! I'm a weight lifter and have tried so many salts to help my body relax for a deep night's sleep. ALL OTHER products have failed! From night one, when I poured this into my tub and the bathroom filled with the heavenly scent of lavender, I was addicted. I soaked for 30 minutes and went to bed, slept like a baby, and woke up with the softest skin. I soak every night and sleep just as deeply as the first." —shevaun
Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in three sizes).
Especially if you have dust mite allergy (which you might not even know you have), the effectiveness of your sleep can be lessened. Buying this cover won't completely exempt you from laundry day, but it will keep your bed a bit fresher for longer.
Promising review: "The more I can cut down on dust mites, the better, because of my allergies. I LOVE this mattress cover! BEST ONE I have had so far and I have had a lot. I also LOVE how this feels. It's not....crinkly." —pleinelune
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes twin-California King).
Japanese people have been sleeping on futons for centuries and still get enough rest to engineer robots and write genre-defining novels, and I'm tired of the hate against futons!
Promising review: "Great. Just great. Can't believe I was nervous this was going to be too thin. I was looking for a minimalist, easy-to-stow bed, and I've found that in this futon, but I wasn't expecting it to be so luxurious. I was expecting an adjustment period, or a mental shift, a sort of glory in my own spartan temperament. Nope. Hot damn, I rarely if ever write reviews, but this futon is glorious." —Poe
Get it from Amazon for $102.92.
