25 Things That’ll Make Every Part Of Your Life A Whole Lot Comfier
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ~comfy~ swing.
2. This plush hypoallergenic quilt that'll make you feel like you're sleeping on a cloud. It'll never go flat, either, thanks to the box stitch that keeps the ultra-soft microfibre fill exactly where it needs to be (and not pooled around your feet).
3. These hair coils that'll never tug or pull at your hair, and are way more durable than ordinary elastics. Once they get a little stretched out, just drop them in hot water and watch them shrink right back to their original size.
"When it comes to hair ties, I'm a pretty picky person. I hate the classic ties that dig into your wrists and I wouldn't be caught dead with a regular o'l elastic in my ponytail. However, my hair is super fine, meaning it slips out of almost anything I put in it, so just any old alternative won't do. Insert: Kitsch hair ties. These coiled ties wrap around my tresses and actually stay put until I'm ready to let down my locks (you know, like Rapunzel). Also, they don't leave indents in my hair, which is a blessing since my hair is very prone to getting bent out of shape." —Alice Prendergast

4. This hooded sweatshirt dress that'll look just as comfy-chic paired with sneakers as it will layered over knee-high boots once the temperatures plummet.
6. This extra-thick, high-density exercise mat that's perfect if you're an aspiring yogi, or if you have mobility issues that other yoga mats just don't address. The non-toxic and non-slip material cushions elbows, palms, hips, and other joints, so you can practice your scorpion pose safely and comfortably.
7. This awesome memory foam pregnancy pillow that's specially designed to help moms — whether it's finding a comfy position to sleep in, or as a support during nursing. Not pregnant or nursing? No problem! The unique shape of the pillow is also great at alleviating back pain during long car rides, as additional support after surgery, or just to help ease lower back tension.
8. This light-blocking eye mask that's specially contoured to block out every distraction. Not only is it engineered to be light and breathable, but the specially profiled inner pockets will never press on your eyeballs during REM sleep.
There's even a nifty nose piece that prevents light leakage.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $14.99 (available in two colours).
9. A wooden book holder, so you can prop open your favourite tomes without straining your wrist or hands. The slim design is super lightweight, and is great for anyone who likes to read during their lunch break — now you don't have to choose between holding your sandwich or holding your book.
10. A David's Tea relaxation kit that'll help to soothe and ease your stress. It comes with three decaffeinated and de-stressing tea blends that taste delicious, and use natural ingredients (like valerian root and lavender) to help you chill out.
11. A weighted blanket, because you're never too old to feel swaddled. Reviewers say it's not just for insomniacs — it also helps with stress and anxiety, making it the next best thing to getting a hug from your favourite person.
12. This slouchy sweater that'll be your new fave loungewear outfit. The dropped shoulders and bell sleeves are oversized enough to be comfy around the house, but still cute enough to pop out for a coffee or afternoon stroll, if the mood strikes.
Reviewers say you can comfortably order your normal size, and it'll still be the perfect amount of slouchy. Oh, and it's made of sustainably-sourced rayon (a by-product of wood pulp), so it'll never make you sweat like synthetic fibres might.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $52.90 (available in three colours and in sizes XXS-3XL).
13. A lavender-stuffed eye pillow that'll do double duty to both alleviate tension and lull you into a state of relaxation. The gentle weight is a great solution to stress headaches (and hiccups!).
14. These gel heel liners from Dr. Scholl's that are basically a miracle blister-prevention tool for anyone with feet (aka everyone). They attach to the back of your shoes, preventing your heel from rubbing against abrasive threading or sharp edges. The glue is fabric safe, too, so you won't ruin your favourite footwear in the process.
I've also used them to improve the fit of shoes that I either bought just a teensy bit big, or that just got stretched out over time. I love that they're totally transparent, too — especially in low-top shoes like Converse, or in sandals.

15. These Magic Bag heatable spa booties that'll keep your tootsies warm, toasty, and totally blissed out. They're infused with lavender essential oils, and can be used with or without the heatable inserts. Time to treat your feet!
16. An extra-long pillow that'll make snuggling into bed a lot comfier. The straight shape and plush fill means you can mush, smoosh, and rearrange it a million different ways, without it bunching up or flattening.
17. These lightweight Bluetooth headphones, so you can comfortably sit through all the conference calls you've got lined up through the day. The cushioned pads won't smush or crush your ears, either.
18. These rainbow no-tie silicone shoelaces that are super springy and won't pinch your feet after a long day of running around. Reviewers say they're even comfortable on wider feet! Since you only need to tie them once, you won't have to worry about them coming undone, either.
19. This large bath pillow with neck and shoulder supports that'll give you the ultimate at-home spa experience. Reviewers love that it's big enough to contour to their entire back (and not just their neck). Plus, it doesn't need to be inflated, so it won't flatten on you halfway through your soak.
It also has suction cups on the back, so no more slipping and sliding around. Oh, and there's also a nifty hidden hook on the back, so you can let it drip-dry once you're outta the tub.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $34.99 (also available in a smaller size).
20. This memory foam wrist support set that'll help ease wrist pain, no matter how many hours you're logging at the computer. It's firm enough to keep your hands in perfect alignment, but soft enough to cradle your hands, wrists, and elbows (and help keep cramping and fatigue at bay, too).
21. These brightly-coloured acupressure mats that'll help ease foot aches and pains, and help improve circulation in the process. If you've been sitting a lot lately (like me), these are honestly a blessing — throw them under your desk and give 'em a good knead to keep your feet feeling great and energized.
22. A set of these silicone anti-slip nose pads that will make wearing any kind of glasses much more comfortable. They're comfy, invisible, and will keep your eyewear from sliding down the bridge of your nose.
23. A cashmere blanket that you'll find any excuse to wrap yourself in. I've used it as a blanket on long road trips, as an extra layer during chilly fall mornings, or as a full-on scarf come winter. It rolls up pretty small, too, so tucking it into my purse or travel bag is super easy.
This super-soft blanket is handmade, so each one is slightly different and unique to you. Plus, they're made in Kathmandu, using sustainable practices and zero child labour, so your conscience can feel as good as this blanket.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $99.99+ (available in ten colours).
24. The Casper nap pillow that's great for catching some impromptu zzz's when you can't help but doze off. The outer layer is silky-soft and oh-so-comfy, while the inner layer is springy and dense to help keep your head cushioned (no matter where you're sleeping).
25. And lastly, a comfy-as-heck Calvin Klein bralette that'll free your ta-tas from the confines of an underwire (and look Insta-worthy, too). Plus, the wider straps and generous band are supportive enough for all chest sizes.
Cheers to making everyday life more comfy!
