Promising review: "I've had this mattress now for a week. I gotta say at first I was a little bit uneasy about buying a mattress online. I'm a very picky sleeper and I suffer from bad insomnia. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with this mattress and they way it adjusts to my body weight. After so many months of looking and trying out mattress I'm so happy I took a chance and bought this one. Best purchase I've made. It's comfortable and it doesn't get hot during hot summer nights in Florida." —Florangel

Promising review: "My husband and I have a memory foam mattress, and everything was fine for quite a while. Recently I started having a horrible time sleeping, and I didn’t feel comfortable on our mattress. My husband started researching mattress toppers, and everywhere he read, this one was suppose to be the best. I do not disagree!! I have been sleeping well, I feel cooler at night, and it feels so amazing soft. I am so happy with this purchase. It is so worth it -I highly recommend! I can sleep again!" —Natalie L.
After taking a higher dose of melatonin a few times in college and having some fun and INTENSELY VIVID NIGHTMARES, I recently tried these instead. The lower dose of melatonin and the other ingredients have definitely help me get drowsy faster.

Promising review: "BEST sleeping eye mask I have ever had! Adjustable strap makes for the fit perfect. The deep eye pockets are so great because they don't rub your eyelashes. The mask fits the face perfect. No light gets in, not even when you sleep on your side. The material is so soft on your face!! (Also liked that I got a pair of earplugs free in the package! I researched a lot of masks before I purchased this one and I am so HAPPY I did. I recommend this to anyone wanting a sleeping mask & will purchase again in the future!!!" —Danielle

Promising review: "Just received these headphones, used them last night, and I am quite pleased -- pleased with the sound, pleased with the comfort. I bought a pair for my husband as well, as he listens to podcasts to drift off to sleep, I listen to music and meditations all thru the night, and comfort is extremely important. These are. They are lightweight, didn't know I had them on, and the sound is clear and clean without noise or interference. I look forward to using them. They're perfect for our needs. Can't ask for more! Thank you." —Marilyn

Promising review: "Well this exactly what I was looking for. I bought a platform bed with headboard, footboard, and side rails. Not too long after we bought it the center support broke and slate started to crack and we kept dipping into the middle. Looked for 'heavy duty bed frame' and that’s exactly what this is. The 2” recessed edges make it so it fits inside of the side rails. It took about 10 minutes to set up, no tool required and was quiet, not a squeak at night. We are newlyweds, so we have really put it to the squeak test and it’s quiet as be. Extremely happy with our purchase. These are probably going to go in all our rooms because I know it will be no problem to get years' of use out of these." —Ryan Hughes

Promising review: "Literally, the first thing I said when I plugged it in was, 'HOLY S***.' It was that cool. I was skeptical cause its so cheap (price wise) but its a little solid night light that gives a BIG presentation. if its projecting on the ceiling it curves on the 90 degree angles, its cool as hell man. Then on top of that, it has an aux port for playing music. I got this for the kids...but I might be using it more." —Gilbert Hernandez
Get two panels from Amazon for $24.95 (available in three sizes and 16 colors).
Promising review: "Best blackout curtains ever for the price. I've shopped all over and these are truly what they are advertised. I didn't think I would need blackouts, but I work nights and sleep till noon and these are absolutely perfect. The color is a rich navy which are difficult to find in store. Trust me when I say, I went everywhere: Lowes, Home Depot & Home Goods, Tuesday morning, Ross, TJ Maxx, Walmart, Target. No place had them in this color for this price. I love, love, love, Amazon Prime because I wasn't sure if these were going to work out, but they are above and beyond what I expected." —Josie Holdridge

Get them from Amazon for $39.99 each. Also available in king-size pillows.
Promising review: "I bought one of these pillows because neither my husband nor I sleep soundly at night. I tried one first, and liked it so well that I purchased one for my husband. Last night was his first time to use it. He volunteered this morning that he 'slept hard' last night! He added he didn't remember ever waking up during the night — which was a first! The interesting part is this: I didn't tell him that he was trying out a new pillow. I wanted to test it on him and see if he would make any comment about his sleep (usually he COMPLAINS about his sleep). I definitely recommend this pillow — whether you are a side sleeper (like me) or a back sleeper (like hubby)!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Honestly, I don’t remember when I’ve been so happy with a purchase! I have slept more deeply and with fewer waking up issues since I’ve had it. I put it over my eyes and tuck the 'arms' behind my neck and just drift off to sleep. It is like being wrapped in a cloud. For me, it has been wonderful." —Michele

Promising review: "Love this Tur Latte Golden Milk mix! I'd been making my own from scratch every night and this is so much easier and tastes the same! Originally got this to just take on a trip but now will use this all the time as it's so much easier and there's no mess! I mix it with coconut milk and it's so yummy. If you use too much it tends to be a bit strong so don't overdo. It does help with sleep and I seem to have more energy! Highly recommend!" —J. M. Gray
Was this originally designed for pregnant women? Yes. Will everyone feel the benefits? Also yes. It also has a removable cover you can toss right in the wash for easy cleaning!
Get it from Amazon for $49.50+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
Promising review: "This pillow saved me! I was not sleeping AT ALL. Tossing, turning couldn't get comfortable. I am not pregnant, I just needed additional support for my back which this provides and has helped ease hip and leg aches. It also keeps me in one spot so I don't wake myself up constantly moving around, but allows me to easily maneuver if I need too and I fall right back to sleep. My dogs love it too. I will often find them snuggled up in the middle of it under the blanket. Have no issue with the fluff. I throw it in the dryer every other time I wash the cover and flip it over often sleeping on both sides." —Karen
Remember that thing you did in third grade? You know how you stayed up half the night last week thinking about it? That's over now.
Get it from Amazon for $10.15.
Promising review: "Lee Crutchley's book is the literary answer for insomnia. This is the perfect book to keep by your bedside when counting sheep just isn't doing the trick to send you off to dreamland. Open The Nocturnal Journal to any page and let your imagination run wild. It's a good idea to keep a pencil or pen handy to answer the questions posed on some pages. Exploring some of the thoughts that are keeping you awake will definitely help you calm them down, answer them, or help put them to bed so sleep will come more easily." —Dee Long
It also has a USB port built into the base for all your charging needs.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors).
Promising review: "I LOVE THIS LIGHT!!! It's fairly sturdy, especially for the price, and the variable light colors are THE BEST!! Being able to use yellow light at night to help with getting to sleep while I'm reading, then change to blue light during the day with just a couple taps, is awesome. The variable light level control is super easy and convenient, and there are a ton of ways to reposition the light to meet your needs. As someone who prefers clean lines/contemporary design, I also love how it looks on my nightstand." —Shauna B.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes twin–oversized king and six colors).
Promising review: "I have insomnia and this is exactly what the packaging says: 'an adult security blanket.' It keeps you warm without getting too hot and it’s light and fluffy."—Alby Yasmeen Sumague

Promising review: "I suffer from bad sciatica. I asked my doctor about a pillow, and he said not to get it because it may or may not help and he didn't want me to waste my money. Well after a couple weeks I got desperate. I read all these reviews and ordered the cushion with the best ratings (within my budget). I was disappointed. My knees/ legs were barely apart. They were pretty much still touching. I saved the packaging so I could send it back. That night I tried it again just to give it a fair shot. THAT NIGHT WAS THE FIRST NIGHT I SLEPT THROUGH THE ENTIRE NIGHT IN SIX WEEKS!!! and it wasn't a fluke. A week later and I'm still sleeping through the night. My hips are no longer sore in the morning and it's not excruciating pain when I sit up in the morning. Don't get me wrong, I am still in pain especially when bending or stooping but the all-day 'just for no reason' pain has gotten a lot better. I have no idea how but this thing works. I won't even lay on the couch without it now." —Stacey Johnson
