Promising review: "I love this pillow! I’m a very picky pillow person and my last contoured pillow was amazing for my neck and back. But when it started to need replacing, they were no longer being made. I hesitated to buy a pillow online but was desperate to get some proper neck support! This one is amazing. It’s longer than most and offers two different heights. I love it! It has reduced my neck and back pain significantly. I woke up the first morning with no pain. My biggest problem is fighting my kids and husband off of it!" —Bethumms

I frantically bought this thing after realizing that I couldn't fill my tub up very far without the overflow drain deciding that it was totally appropriate to drown out my ambient bath time playlist with its relentless slurping, and I have to say, it has been a game-changer! For anyone worried that it'll cause your tub to overflow, know that it has a hole at the top of the cover that will allow the overflow drain to still do its job if the water accidentally gets higher than the cover.
Promising review: "I have a high-stress job, and I've started taking baths as a way to unwind. However, it never seemed like I could keep enough water in the tub to really enjoy it. This little thing makes a HUGE difference!! I get at least an extra 3 inches of water and it is great." —Hyacinthe Snyder

Promising review: "Buy one of these it’s amazingly refreshing! I purchased the least expensive Tushy, just cold water! I was concerned about installation and I thought the cold might not be a good idea! I was totally wrong! Installation was a breeze and the cool water was fine! I can’t imagine why I didn’t buy one of these sooner! It’s really refreshing and civilized!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Such a simple idea, how is this just coming into my life now? I didn't think showers could get any better but now I have a brew/wine within reach at all times. Really helps take the edge off after a long day. The thing is way sturdier than you'd expect, I've tugged on it and it's not going anywhere. The slotted design allows you to use stemmed wineglasses too. A truly perfect product. This $13 piece of plastic is working as hard as my therapist and I stan." —Steven

Plus, it's made from 10 pounds of plastic waste, making it an eco-friendly choice as well!
I own this chair, and, as someone with questionable posture who has spent years hunching over various desks, it's something I wish I had a long time ago! For starters, it’s super comfortable, especially with the soft topper. But the real magic is in the way it responds to your body and movements so you have support whether you’re leaning forward or back, making it an ideal desk chair but also great for the dinner table or living room. My lower back is very grateful! I love the modern and stylish design, and the fact that it’s eco-friendly. Plus, it’s super lightweight, easy to carry from room to room, and beyond simple to assemble and disassemble if needed (it took less than five minutes to put it together when it first arrived). I highly recommend this chair to… anyone who sits down!
Get it from Noho for $375+ (available in two colors; topper also available in five colors).
Promising review: "This blanket is great. The material is soft and comfortable. The weight is perfect. What I love the most is that there are no beads used for the weight. I had a previous weighted blanket that the beads came loose after just a few weeks making the blanket useless. This blanket makes you feel like you are wrapped in a soft hug. I sleep so much better and do not wake up as often. I highly recommend this blanket." —Jennifer M.

Promising review: "It might sound silly but I’ve always wanted a coffee maker that can make coffee in the morning before I wake up. This one is the best! It’s super affordable, looks nice, easy as heck to clean, and it makes zero messes (my old one would leak when it was being made and when it was being poured). This is the best coffee maker for a reasonable price." —Shell

Promising review: "I love all of the organizers! This is a great product! I bought the organizers for all of my bathroom drawers to store various items that normally were left out on the counter of which made the whole bathroom look cluttered. I love the way the plastic containers stack upon each other! You can also configure the boxes to fit in your drawers. The clear plastic is great for seeing what is on the lower organizer. It is convenient to take one container out one out at a time if you need to." —A H

Promising review: "If you are wanting to drown out noise in any environment, this is your solution. I'm sensitive to noise and highly misplaced working in a noisy office. This device has numerous combinations between sound types and volume. I was able to find the perfect mix to drown out the loud people in my office.

Promising review: "I love this light. It makes me feel way better when it's grim and dark and wintery. It's very bright, and just what I was looking for. I guess my cat missed the sun too, because she makes a point of lying in front of it when it's on. Light therapy for elderly cats: highly recommended. Light therapy for people: also recommended." —Jessa

Promising review: "Great Features!! I bought this about a month ago. Wanted to see how I liked it before writing a review. First-I don't hear ANYTHING when the poof of diffused oil comes out. I love the feature of being able to choose three strengths of scent, along with four, six or eight hours of scent. I never have to worry about shutting it off because its on a timer. I definitely sleep better, and with better quality. I love all three scents. Very relaxing. Like being in a SPA." —DebbaDoo59603

It's even small enough to fit under a desk!
Promising review: "I first bought one of these units for my daughter's bedroom, which doesn't receive the same airflow from our furnace as our other bedrooms. She loved it so much that she took it back to college with her after winter break. So then I ordered another one, which I ended up using in my office as I worked. I enjoyed the ability to heat up the space quickly without needing to turn up the heat in the whole house. Then as Chicago was expecting a cold snap, I ordered three more units and used them in my basement area, which tends to stay cooler than the rest of the house. These units are very well made and have excellent air flow for such a small device. Additionally, they turn off immediately when even jarred or moved the tiniest bit, a reassuring safety feature. I highly recommend this product." —Dr. Deb

Plus, these bulbs come with a lot of super cool features! You can set specific times for the bulbs to turn on and off, use their "sunrise" and "sunset" modes to ease you in and out of the day, sync with your music so the lights change based on the rhythms and dynamics of your favorite songs, AND you can use your camera and photos to select the specific color you want your bulb to match.
Promising review: "I love this light bulb! The app you download for it is very user friendly, and I adapted to it very quickly. You can adjust brightness and the color all from your phone. One of my favorite features is 'scene.' It has a variety of options like 'romantic,' 'reading,' and the coolest in my opinion: 'sunrise/sunset.' Over the span of 15 minutes, it mimics the colors of a sunrise/sunset. It goes from red, to orange, to purple, etc. It’s a very cool light bulb and I recommend it to all of my friends." —Kristina Adamik

Promising review: "Say goodbye to rearranging your fitted sheet every morning! My boyfriend sleeps like he’s rolling down a hill so every morning I would wake up to the scratchy feel of my mattress cover because my soft silk fitted sheet was all over the place. Thanks to these bed bands, our sheets stay put no matter what. The only way for your fitted sheet to come off is if you manually remove these first. I wish I would have bought this so much sooner." —Khalysee

Note that it's described as magnetic, but that means the suface of the board is — not that it sticks to your fridge. If you want to mount it to your fridge (or a wall tbh), some Command Strips could do the job quickly and easily!
Promising review: "Love this whiteboard calendar! It was packaged well and securely. I originally ordered two other calendars and returned those and kept this one — we find this to be the perfect size to track two people’s schedules. The notes section on the right is great for to-do lists and we don’t have to write anything teeny-tiny. The thin gold frame is a nice touch and it looks great hanging on our wall." —Haley

Getting a little too hot? Turn the heater off and enjoy the flames and crackling on their own!
Promising review: "So realistic!!! 🔥I absolutely love these logs! I searched through every set on Amazon and online, and finally settled on this set. I am so glad I did! The remote control makes it very easy, and the flames and logs look amazingly real. The crackle of the fire can be turned on or off and can also be adjusted...low/high. It sounds so real, I feel the need to put a fireplace screen up. This is an excellent product. No problems whatsoever. Opened the box and plugged it in. It’s very hard to tell they are not real. It’s soothing, relaxing, and comforting. I recommend this set to anyone! One of the greatest purchases I’ve ever made. Way to go Duraflame!!!" —M Hall

It's also Oprah-approved, since she added it to her list of favorite things in 2020!
Promising review: "This past spring, I stopped going to OrangeTheory and lifting at my gym. To attempt to maintain fitness at home, I did a good amount of running and bodyweight exercises. Once things opened back up, I decided I really enjoyed working out at home (convenience, etc.) and started to look at options. After exploring many things (Peloton, etc.), I can tell you without a doubt that the MIRROR reigns above all. As an example, I used the Peloton app for running, strength, and a little yoga. Nothing bad to say about Peloton. Geat personalities and solid instruction, but it (and many other online fitness options) feel more like a "side dish" where MIRROR is consistently a 'main course.' The way the MIRROR structures their workouts, presents through the app, and has you working out is an awesome experience, regardless if it's yoga, cardio and strength (my favorite), or stretching classes. The instructors are amazing — come across as genuine people with their own personalities and ways to motivate you — and, they're working hard as you in the workouts. I couldn't pick a favorite because they each have great qualities. I've probably taken the most classes with Katie — it's funny because she's very chill, but before you know it she's lured you into a grueling workout that leaves you gasping for air at the end (for cardio/strength) — LOL! Chris has intense energy, is super likeable, and you can't help but want to work hard to keep going! Lance is a cool guy and will have you grinding out some serious reps. I've really come to enjoy Armond's boxing and strength class — challenging and a nice way to mix up movement, plus he's inspiring. Love XTina's energy! Gerren is really creative and fun with his workouts! And, my #1 reason to choose the MIRROR is the entire day is packed with live classes from morning until night! It's really inspiring to have a live class to commit to and show up at. The amount of live classes and variety of workouts are outstanding! I love my MIRROR!" —Jason

Promising review: "I absolutely love these lights. I bought them for my dorm in college because bad lighting puts me in a weird mood. These lights are beautiful and made the room feel warm, cozy, and homey. They also helped with 'winter blues' that I always get because I live in Michigan and the winter weather is always cold and gloomy, so having nice lighting helped a lot. I received tons of compliments on them every time someone came into my room. I love these lights so much that I bought another set to hang in my room at home. Just buy these beautiful lights!" —Madelynn K.
