Promising review: "This is great for teaching different types of breathing to help calm down. The distraction of following the directions can take your mind off your anxiety pretty quickly. There are several types of breathing techniques to choose from. Kids love it because it lights up and changes color." —L. Demro

Promising review: "I have a lot of pain from sleeping on my side, however, most body pillows I looked at are ugly and cumbersome. There are SO many ways to use this during sleep. It's like the perfect 'spooning' pillow, with a soft, comforting firmness (without the annoying Human element!). It looks beautiful on my bed, too. Oh, and the very genius button to secure it as a round pillow as well. Perfect pillow!" —Diane

Promising review: "This slow-rising butter squishy is really lovely. The texture is very soft and realistic, and it feels satisfying to squeeze. Overall, it’s a fun, stress-relieving little squishy that I would recommend to anyone looking for something soft, durable, and enjoyable." —Sam

Promising review: "This pajama set is really comfortable and soft. The waffle-knit fabric feels cozy without being too heavy, and it’s comfortable enough to wear for lounging or sleeping. The fit is relaxed and easy, and it doesn’t feel tight or restrictive. I also like that it keeps me warm without overheating, which makes it great for cooler nights. Overall, it’s a cute, comfy set." —M. Vause

Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 29 styles).

Promising review: "This is the best fan I have ever had! It gets hot where I live — over 100 degrees in the summer. A fan is a necessity. I have had and used at least a dozen fans in my life, and this one is my favorite! It is quiet! It has a few different settings. At first, I thought that most of the settings were a gimmick, but it turns out they are actually useful. I really like the fact that it has a 'night mode' that makes the display lights turn off, and it gets very quiet, but stays surprisingly effective. The little storage part for the remote is very handy as well. I have not taken it apart to clean it yet, but that looks easy. Overall great fan!" —Richard R.

Get it from Amazon for $54.98+ (available in black or white, two heights, and with or without Wi-Fi).

Promising review: "Initially just got one of these because my toddler is a wild child and wants to climb all of our furniture, so we needed something safe and low to the ground. We now have three of these in total because they are everyone’s favorite chairs. They are super comfortable and durable enough that our dog’s nails don’t scratch them up. The faux leather is great for cleaning, even after our toddler smashes up his snacks in the seats. Super happy with this purchase." —Laura Daly

Promising review: "Love this Warm Vanilla scent! Warming fragrance lingers even as it dissolves well in the bathtub. When I looked at the fragrance components, I was doubtful I would like it, but the combination does impart a warm vanilla scent." —Erma

Promising review: "I am so glad Amazon suggested these! They truly make your regular morning shower into a spa experience. So delightful! I ordered some for myself and loved them so much that I am ordering them for a bunch of friends and family as a last-minute Christmas gift. They smell so good and are also really pretty and come in a perfect package for gifting. Thank you, Cleverfy!!" —Kelly

Promising review: "This is a very nice, firm, and supportive backrest pillow for reading, laptop work, etc., in bed. I love the soft corduroy fabric and pretty green color, too! It's made a huge difference when I work on the computer or read in bed because it supports my back a lot better than a bunch of pillows did. It's also not too big, so it won't take up a lot of room on the bed." —WordyNerdyBirdy

Promising review: "This Christmas gift was the perfect cure for my hard-to-sleep nights. Within just a few minutes, I was out cold. Talk about feeling refreshed this morning!! I may even skip my coffee, haha! We are taking it for a trip we have coming up because it’s so easy to use, small and compact for packing, and let’s face it, hotels are the hardest places to sleep, so we think this will be a game changer for us." —A C

The Woobles is a small biz that specializes in teaching you how to crochet!

Promising review: "I LOVE Woobles! This little kit came with literally everything I needed, besides scissors (but majority of people already have those). I always wanted to crochet, but looking at books always confused me. I had a surgery that gave me limited arm movement, so I knew this was the time to finally learn. I'm SO glad I started with Woobles. I recommend them to everyone now! The way everything is shown and explained is so easy to understand. With one kit, I had basic knowledge and could read a basic pattern. And then they have other kits with higher difficulty to teach you more. I've moved on to finding patterns and creating from those, but I still go back to the Woobles website to learn or confirm stitches. The price point is definitely high, but I am glad that I spent the money for my new crochet obsession." —ckbutler07

Promising review: "Everything came as expected, this is the perfect small lamp to keep on your bedside table. It came charged and has three different lighting settings!" —hmmmgabi 

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $50 (available in two poses). 

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord swears by these: "I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!"

Promising review: "After some shoes killed my feet after walking all day in Europe, this foot mask saved the day. It felt AMAZING on my feet and helped me recover a lot faster than just taking ibuprofen. Don’t travel abroad without this!" —Maria

Promising review: "I didn't know what to expect from this super adorable anxiety bookshelf, but it delivered! I shake it up when I feel anxiety, even frustration, and I sort all the little books back onto the shelves any way I want, and it is sooo satisfying! The bookshelf is super cute and well-built. It is sturdy and beautiful. The tiny books are detailed, and their covers are amazing. They aren't actual books, but they really look like they are. This is the most gratifying gift I have ever purchased for myself. Beyond satisfied!" —Elda M Ferguson

Here's what BuzzFeeder Heather Braga has to say:

"After reading about how much reviewers loved this product (and including it in my articles for years), I was so excited to finally try it out myself. I wasn't disappointed! It's a little louder than I thought it would be (as the air compresses in and out to relieve tension), but once I put music on with it, I didn't notice the noise anymore. I've been using it to relax my eyes after a long day of working on screens *and* parenting. I also break it out when I have sinus pain, and it's been really helpful in easing that pain. Consider me a fan!"

Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos, and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top-notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse, and this technology has helped me get through the night easily.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer

This set includes a duvet cover and two pillow shams.

Promising review: "OMG, I love this duvet! It’s so freaking pretty! It’s a little bit larger than the comforters I use, but that’s fine. Buy one; you will not be disappointed." —Lupe McCoy

Get the queen set from Amazon for $52.98+ (available in sizes Twin–California king and 17 colors). 

Promising review: "I literally don’t know how I could possibly sleep without this. I put it on and immediately fell asleep, when before it would take me hours. My sleep is more restful and undisturbed. It blocks out light and sound and works well for me as a side-sleeper. It’s soft and cool and really a dream come true. I bought one for my husband and two friends, and then figured I should buy a backup just in case something happened to it. But now I want more as backup because I will need this for the rest of my life." —Kristen

Sure, this is a baby play mat, but that doesn't mean that an adult can't also use it.

Hemp Organic Life is a Ukraine-based small business that makes bedding, cushions, and mats from organic hemp.

Promising reviews: "We absolutely love love love this play mat. We’d been looking at other options that were foam, and we just didn’t want anything synthetic. The customer service was awesome, and they answered all our questions. We play on it every day, love the thickness, and our baby sometimes naps on it. So happy with our investment!" —Brittany Denunzio

"Very good quality, so plush and comfortable. I can sit playing happily now without discomfort from the hard floor. I would definitely buy again." —Carmel Millington

Get it from Hemp Organic Life on Etsy for $92+ (available in lots of sizes and with or without a cover).

Promising review: "Both of my dogs love this bed. We bought it for our mastiff, and it’s still roomy enough for her and our smaller dog. It’s also a great bed to cuddle with the dogs yourself. Folds nicely when we want more floor space. Definitely happy with it!" —MBC

Promising review: "This is my first acupressure mat. I'm in love! 😍😍😍 It's definitely easier to lie back on it than to peel yourself off it, as a lot of other reviewers have said! I've been suffering from insomnia for the last six months, and THIS spikey, prickly, beautiful mat, which I only got two days ago, has given me the ✨best sleep✨ of the last six months! 💕💕💕💕 I'm really now hoping that the effect won't slowly wear off as my body becomes accustomed to this new evening routine. 😅🤞" —Noa2good

Psst — you can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set on Amazon!

Promising review: "I love this coloring book! The pages are filled with super-cute animal characters that are simple to color yet still fun and creative. It’s perfect for unwinding after a long day — I don’t have to overthink it, just grab my markers and relax. The designs are cheerful and always put me in a better mood. Definitely one of my favorite cozy coloring books!" —Jeffery Jones

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (and see other designs here). 

Promising review: "These slippers are so soft and well-made. I’m happy to say they are beyond soft and cushy. Love them!" —Maria

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and in five colors).

Promising review: "This blanket beats others because it is softer (a buttery and fluffy feeling), it is long enough for a 5-foot, 10-inch-tall person, it is not too light and not too heavy (works year-round in Virginia), and it has a stretch to the material that I haven’t experienced with other soft blankets. The design is just so-so, but the colors are nice, and the price is right. If they updated the designs with more colors, patterns, then these would be absolutely perfect. I like this as much as my much more expensive Barefoot Dreams blanket and Williams Sonoma faux-fur blanket." —JH

Comfy is a small biz! JSYK: This only comes in one size, but that one size is meant to fit up to a men's size 5XL (and even bigger sizes)!

Promising review: "I bought this for my mom because she’s ALWAYS cold. She LOVES IT. The outside is soft, and the inside is very plush and soft, too. It’s got a nice weight to it. The pocket on the front is large enough to put just about anything in it. It’s large enough for a 2X-size man to wear comfortably. I will probably be buying these as gifts this year!" —KMartShopper

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in 25 styles).

Promising review: "When I first saw this, I immediately thought it was completely ridiculous. But it kept popping up in my periphery, and one day, after seeing it on YouTube, I bought it on impulse, along with a page-turner. And so glad I did! It is so easy to clip in your Kindle and twist/extend it into the perfect angle, and the bowl is a great spot to stash my page-turner, earbuds, etc. Paired with the page turner, it's a total game changer, you can get cozy under blankets and not even have to move your hands, which is significantly more comfortable for bedtime reading (and safer — who else has dropped a Kindle on their face??). I am very nearsighted, and it's easy to tuck the pillow in and angle the Kindle close to my face. I also like using it just in my lap, where I can elevate the Kindle and avoid neck and wrist strain on those long reading sessions! I don't even feel embarrassed when my husband makes fun of it; it's that good :P If you love your Kindle, you will love this pillow!" —J. Thornberg

Get it from Amazon for $35.97 (available in four colors). 

Promising reviews: "What a difference this makes. I'm usually TikTok-ing while in bed, and have my phone on a stand. Not having to raise my hand to scroll up or down is amazing!" —Phons. S

"I use this just to scroll while reading on my iPad. It allows me to curl up in the blankets while I have my iPad in a holder. (It may be lazy, but I’m obsessed all the same.) Super comfortable to hold/wear around your finger. It was easy to connect with my iPad and definitely worth the money in my opinion." —Mandi Arnold

Plus, it's machine washable, so you don't have to drag it to the dry cleaners.

Promising review: "Tried out more than 15 mattresses at a bed store — began to think we weren’t going to find one. Then we found it — our perfect mattress. We gave it about a five-minute test and agreed, very firm but perfect. Then we spent our first night on it. Not good. We figured there’d be an adjustment; give it a few days. Nope. Couldn’t adjust. Decided to order this mattress pad and see if we could live with our mattress. Best night’s sleep ever. Perfect combination. We’re keeping the mattress. The instructions on how to fully fluff the pad are clear and easy to follow. The deep pockets are fantastic, and the top fits perfectly, no sliding or movement. Can’t recommend this enough. It’s definitely a game changer!" —Sandra M. Edwards

Get it from Amazon for $59.94+ (available in sizes Twin–California King and in four colors).

Promising review: "This has a lot of cushion for your back and neck. I had no issues with sticking it to the tub. The best part is the hook, which allows it to dry out well. In this time of working at home, I need a nice tub to help relax." —Danie McAnally

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two colors and a two-pack).

You can use it on your lower back and legs too!

Promising review: "I had neck and shoulder pain for about a month, that’s why I bought this, and after using this massager just 4–5 times, my pain went away!! I was afraid it would be painful, as I can be sensitive when getting a massage, but it was not at all painful. The cord is nice and long, you can put it on your neck, back, feet, everywhere! And it feels so good. If I get a kink in my neck or my feet hurt, I take this out! Best purchase ever!" —Sarah E Johnson
