Promising review: "I ordered these for my dorm. They came in single strings for me to hang. I paired them with some curtain lights. They were easy to hang, lightweight, and look great! The smell is a little much once you first open the bag; however I do not smell anything now that they’re up." —Meghan Roum

Promising review: "This might be the best thing I’ve ever purchased. My room looks magical on sunny afternoons. If you love yourself, buy these crystals. Not only are the rainbows pretty but the crystals are too." —Tiffany Tyree

The Comfy also comes with a giant pocket in the front to keep your hands warm and your snacks close by (obviously the most important part), plus the wrists are fitted so you won't have to worry about dirtying your sleeves.
Promising review: "Have you ever been all warm and cozy under a blanket then have to get up for something and it's horrifically cold outside of the blanket? That doesn't happen because you're literally wearing the blanket! Bought this as a gift and that was the response I got after asking how they liked it." —Amznshpr123

Promising review: "Great value for an excellent memory foam topper. We put it on top of an IKEA mattress and it turned that uncomfortable bed into luxury." —Skip

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

Promising review: "These had great reviews but I was still a bit skeptical. I'm a bit of a pillow snob. I usually require about three pillows for just myself, not including my husband. I like to sleep propped up a bit so my sinuses don't get stopped up at night. My old pillows would require three to nine adjustments a night for me to be comfortable again. These pillows — these amazing, heavenly pillows — are now my favorite part of going to bed. Soft but firm. How does that work? It gives support for me to sleep slightly propped up but I sink into this comfortable personal cloud. Soft, but firm. My head isn't sinking through the pillow to rest on my mattress, but I feel comfortably enveloped. Now mind you, I have one very cheap Walmart pillow behind it so I'm not against my headboard, but even still. Heaven. I bought two but think that would be too much fluff so now my husband and I each have one. Buy them. Add to cart. Buy now with one click. Stop the research. You've found the pillows you were looking for." —Marissa Powers

These won our budget pick for best pillow!
Promising review: "I enjoy laying on the floor watching TV. This is just what I needed. So comfortable and it molds to my back for support. The instructions were to wait 72 hours for the pillow to fully expand. It was interesting to watch it grow. If you are a floor person like me you will not be sorry you purchased this." —Nancy C

Promising review: "First time oil diffuser buyer. I wanted to move away from the plug-in air fresheners, and I found this product, which was a great price. I just received it and first of all the look of it exceeded my expectations. The colors are so bright and pretty! I put a few drops of vanilla essential oil in with the water and I can smell cookies already. I'm impressed! I'd recommend to a friend and my husband asked for one for his man cave!" —Kati
Get it from Walmart for $23.72.
Promising review: "I am a very hot sleeper therefore, I am very picky about my sheets. These sheets are very comfortable and do not make me hot. They are soft and very comfortable. Also, the company is great to work with! Excellent customer service! When my sheets arrived, there was a small problem with the fitted sheet so I emailed them (the sheets came with a flier with their contact info) and they sent me another fitted sheet right away. They said they are a family owned business and really want the customer to have a great experience. I was impressed with that level of service especially in this day and age! Bottom line: great sheets, excellent customer service and great price! Do not hesitate to buy!" —Amazon Customer

This headboard is only for full-sized beds. Have a different size bed? We rounded up some similar headboard that aren't the exact same version as the one pictured above but work for twin beds, queen beds, and king beds.
Promising review: "Love this. It helps me keep items from falling behind the mattress, plus away from my curious cat. It's not too deep (front to back) so it does not take up too much room. Color works well. It has very easy-to-follow directions and I put it together in about 30–45 minutes. I did get one other person to help move it into the bedroom so I did not drag it on my rug." —jd

Promising review: "This is a very nice, very firm reading pillow. Soft fabric, nice soft gray in color. I fall asleep sitting up reading almost every night now. I love how comfortable it is and how well it holds me up. The arms seemed a little floppy at first, just work some of the filling from the back into the arm sleeves and it fills them out. I would buy again and I would recommend this purchase." —Sherry Hyatte

This hot water bottle cannot be microwaved. We recommend this one if you need a microwaveable option.
Promising review: "I’ve never had a hot water bottle before and have always used a heated blanket. But I decided to give this a try and am very glad I did. It’s amazing. I use it for my chilly feet when I go to bed. I use the kettle to fill it with hot water, and it stays hot for quite a long time. Actually I’ve found that when kept under my blankets, it’s even still warm in the morning." —Brian G.

Promising review: "This comforter is what we’ve always needed. My husband and I are always tangled in blankets because I need more but yet they always end up on his side. This comforter provides an all-in-one solution that keeps me warm and him cool and our bedroom looking calm and zen." —Hannah

Hippy & Hillbilly Co. is a family-run small business based in Bybee, Tennessee.
Promising review: "It smells and looks so beautiful. It’s not too strong to where I’ll get a headache, but just right. I love the wooden wick. It completely met my expectations! Thank you so much!!" —coco benoist
Get it from Hippy & Hillbilly Co. on Etsy for $9.99+ (available in five sizes)
Promising review: "Definitely exactly what I needed! If you need something that’s on the cheaper side but sturdy enough, I definitely recommend this! I don’t know if it would make it through a fall if it falls while you have it propped up since it is plastic, but as far as needing it to do what you paid for it to do it’s a good product! The thing that holds your paper propped up has rubber on it, which is really nice! I also enjoyed the texture on the bag that feels like a small beanbag on your lap. Definitely enjoying this product. I also use this on my desk to add more support on my neck so I don’t have to bend my neck all the way down when I write or draw." —Irma R.
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
Promising review: "Imagine being trapped under a 15-pound bag of beans in a box half your size somewhere, but instead of being trapped you're comfortably cocooned and the bag of beans is actually just a blanket and you're in a bed that's the perfect size. Your initial thought of a 15-pound blanket is terrifying and confusing, but once it's on, you slip into absolute bliss. This blanket gives a sense of comfortability and security, no one with zero muscle tone will be able to disturb the deep slumber you will fall into while this blanket is on you. Great for falling asleep and putting aside the worries and concerns about the monsters under your bed trying to get you, because we all know they give up at the slightest inconvenience. Also it is really a great relaxation gift for others!" —Amazon Customer

This cooling eye mask is made of 100% mulberry silk, which is known for its moisture-wicking abilities. As a result, bacteria, fungi, and dust mites that need water to survive can't grow and multiply. This could help clear up your skin and potentially reduce allergy flare-ups.
Promising review: "This mask is a lifesaver. I live in a college dorm. My roommate likes to stay up late with literally every single light in the room on (overhead light, desk light, floor lamp, light above mirror, etc.) and I was having such a hard time getting to sleep. This mask blocks out EVERYTHING, even my roommate's desk lamp that burns with the fires of a thousand suns. Seriously, I've never seen a brighter desk lamp — I have no idea where she even found the stupid thing. But now I can get a full night's sleep, even when my roommate gets up at 1 a.m. and flicks every light on in the room (it's happened a few times). It's super comfortable, too. I would recommend it to anyone, especially people living in dorms that are kept bright seemingly 24 hours a day." —KatHR

If you don't want to drill into the wall to install curtains, we recommend going with either a tension rod, Command hooks or brackets that connect to existing blinds.
Promising review: "I don’t know why I didn’t buy these years ago. I live in a dorm with old curtains that barely helped block the parking lot light at night, let alone the blazing morning sun out of my east-facing room. I got these curtains and can now get my room pitch dark at night and darker than I had ever had it before even with the harshest light. The curtain itself lights up a little with the most direct sunlight, but it is still easy to sleep through and doesn’t ever wake me up. One of the best decisions ever and I have no complaints." —MallardTop
Get them from Amazon for $18.76+ (available in 13 sizes and 33 colors).
Promising review: "This is the best thing you never knew you needed. I own a digital clock with the numbers displayed in red LED light, and every night I've blocked the light with a cover so it doesn't shine in my eyes as I sleep. Silly I know, but I like my room pitch black and cave-like. On a whim I bought this product. OH MY GOD! Game-changer!! For the first night EVER I didn't have to cover the clock display before I went to bed!! I had no idea how big a difference this little dimmer could make, but I'm more than pleased with the result. I can still see the time display just fine, but now my room is a happy cave! Some commenters argue you could get the same effect using electrical tape but this product is easy to remove and doesn't leave a sticky residue at all, which can't be said for most tapes. I did notice a slight lag in response when I covered my TV LED sensor, so if you're trying to block something that actually senses inputs I would maybe not suggest this. Other than that, excellent product!" —Amazon Customer
Get a sheet of more than 100 stickers of varying shapes and sizes Amazon for $5.69 (also available in a blackout version). These larger dimming sheets from Amazon are $8.29 for two 6-by-3-inch stickers and work wonders if you're trying to cover a larger surface area, like a clock face.
Promising review: "We have a rather deep mattress and added a memory foam topper, which gave our fitted sheet a real stretch to be able to securely tuck at the corners and not slip off. It would hold some of the time, but we frequently had a corner or two slip off during the night. It was disrupting sleep, so I was ready to safety pin the fitted sheet corners in place. However, no need for safety pins. After giving Bed Band a try our fitted sheet slipping problem is solved! The clamp design grips like iron, but the best part is the adjustable bands that allow for a quick final fit after installing the clamps. The other designs require that you adjust the bands first, and then stretch the clamps into place under tension. With Bed Band, you clamp each band into place without tension, then you use the quick adjuster to apply tension as needed. This makes for a much simpler installation, and with a product that by its nature needs to removed and re-installed repeatedly (sheet washing), ease of installation is critical. Bed Bands is the clear design winner here for both function and ease of installation. A stellar product design at an affordable price!" —Huancayo

Promising review: "Bought this for a galactic-themed party recently, and I'm amazed by the quality! The LED lights are crisp and clear, and very colorful on empty canvases. This can also be used for kids' rooms, gaming rooms, or for a night under the 'stars' when it's rainy out. The instructions are clear on which buttons are which on the remote control, so you can change the colors of the simulated nebulas, set timers, etc. easily." —Shin-Chiao Fang

Promising review: "I suffer from bad sciatica, so I was so excited to get this. I immediately tried it and 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

Promising review: "It looks beautiful in my family room — the color is lovely, the texture is soft, and the design is very up-to-date and stylish. I bought it to replace a well-worn rug but didn't want to spend a fortune since it's in a high-traffic area. It's a nice quality rug for the price. My only regret is it looks so pretty on the floor that I now want all new furniture. I'm thrilled with my new rug!" —Anna Marie

Covogoods is a woman-owned small business based in Utah.
Promising review: "I’m pretty sure I’ve never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one and I’ve been a Prime member since Day 1. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband’s pile of technology, the money was well spent!" —AmazonEmme
Promising review: "This duvet is so amazing and fluffy! I bought this for my college dorm and it really is going to make it feel just like home. I am absolutely in love with how nice it feels, and it fits perfectly inside a duvet cover that I also purchased from Amazon. I have already suggested it to a few of my friends to keep them cozy in their dorms as well!" —Lisa Miller

Promising review: "I’m renting an apartment and my front door doesn’t brush up against the floor. There was about an inch gap which was annoying because it meant light, noise, and bugs could get in. Ever since I’ve installed this, I’ve had almost no bugs, no light, and so much less sound! It’s great. The sound-blocking is especially amazing because my bedroom is near the front door and I hated hearing my neighbors conversations clear as day in the stairwell. It’s not totally noise cancelling but it’s so much better." —airazedy
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "So for the last several weeks, I have been experiencing the negative effects of dry air in my home, particularly in my bedroom. My nose has been dry and sore with inflamed nasal passages along with my nose running 'like a sugar tree.' Sleeping with a fan as I have done for the past 15+ years became impossible. I don't know about you, but that combination makes for a miserable sleep. Anywho, I had never needed or used a humidifier until this purchase. Let's just say that my dreams have returned and I'm waking up to a nice mist rather than a pillow of Kleenex and a sore nose. Life is good." —Tracy Johnson
