Promising review: "As a new 30-year-old, I’ve started to notice some aches and pains in the mornings. After suffering terrible neck pain and restless nights, I decided to purchase these pillows after seeing such good reviews. I have had them for about a week now, and I feel incredible! I am a belly/side sleeper, and these are the most amazing pillows I’ve ever used. I sleep soundly and don’t wake up in the night trying to get comfortable. I just purchased two more! These are the best find!!!!!!"—Hope Carlson Get a set of two queen-size pillows from Amazon for $41.97 (available in three sizes). Promising review: "I purchased these on a whim and love them. I am a hot sleeper so these really help keep me cool and stay asleep. Buy them now!" —Reece Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in five colors and two sizes). Promising reviews: "I love the color and the cool silky texture. Great for summer sleeping and hot flashes. Love these." —Annetta "I've been using these pillowcases for about a week now and I have to say that they have really seemed to help my hair not be so frizzy when I wake up! I live in a hot and humid climate and my hair normally just makes my life awful this time of year (summer). I have been trying a couple of new things to help my hair, like using Moroccan Oil on the ends and these pillowcases and it's really a lot better. I also feel better about sleeping on my side now and don't worry so much that I'm creating wrinkles. I would definitely buy these again and recommend them!" —R. Spann Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 36 colors and four sizes). Promising reviews: "I live in the desert and these sheets are fantastic! I love the silky feel, and they wash up beautifully. I’m buying a second set today." —Sunny "If you have night sweats, you need to buy these sheets. I do and I bought a set. Oh my, I just love them. Not only are they soft, but they also seem to be cooling too. No more night sweats for me." —Linda Leynes "I am a cold sleeper but my partner sleeps hot. Normally, her heat keeps me awake for a while. However, these sheets are so cool that I am instantly able to fall asleep. Pair that with how soft they are and they are definitely worth the money." —Trevor Scott Frazier Get a queen-size set from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in sizes twin–Cal. king and in 25 colors). Promising review: "I LOVE this mattress pad. I let it breathe as directed. Living in Florida, my bed is always hot at night. I have been using this for a week, and I can feel the coolness of this mattress pad any time I wake up in the night. It is very comfortable also, adding a pillow feel to my bed. There is also a lot of space for any depth of mattress. I have a regular width mattress and I can easily tell a pillow top would be covered just as well. Well worth the purchase!" —Julie Santello Get it in a queen size from Amazon for $22.74+ (available in sizes twin–Cal. king and three colors). The set comes with two shams (or one, if you buy the twin set) and the duvet cover. Be sure to snag a duvet insert if you need one! This cover includes button closures and corner ties to help keep the comforter in place. The first time I was fortunate enough to feel linen bedding grace my skin was while staying in an Airbnb in 2025. Ever since then, my polyester-mix bed set just hasn't been cutting it. I finally purchased this Quince set and oh. my. gosh! I'm mad it took me so long to get it. I feel like it helps me fall asleep faster and stay asleep. I also love that it doesn't get hot but I'm also never cold either. Promising reviews: "Love. Such good quality and beautiful color. I feel very rich going to bed every night." —Mandy M. "I am so happy with this duvet cover and shams. The quality is great, very luxurious and the linen is soft to the touch. My bed is ready for a photo shoot!" —Sarah Get it from Quince for $144+ (available in sizes twin–California king, eight colors, and with or without a sham set). Promising reviews: "I have no idea how this works, but it does! It’s actually cool to the touch! I am always hot and don’t sleep well because of it. This blanket is a game changer!" —Rhonda M. "Ever since I moved to south Florida, I have been unable to use any sort of comforter or duvet because I am such a hot sleeper. In fact I haven’t used anything besides a top sheet in what feels like ages. This comforter has completely changed that for me. It feels so fantastic against the skin, and my only regret is that I didn’t purchase one when I first saw the ad last year. If you sleep warm, this is 100% the best thing for your bed." —Steven S. Get it from Rest for $149+ (originally $199) or Amazon for $149.25+ (available in six colors and sizes twin–California king). Promising review: "GO BUY THIS NOWWWWW!!! My room has been hot for over FIVE months now with no AC. Especially now with summer, I almost feel like I want to pass out. I’m so glad I got this. It’s been two hours now since we got it in the mail and our room has completely turned around from hot to freezing cold. I can’t believe I’m saying this. I have purchased over three fans the past few months and this one tops it all." —Inca Get it from Amazon for $64.97+ (available in two colors and a smart Wi-Fi version). Promising review: "I purchased these for every room in my house, they completely block out the light and heat. I live in Florida, so the AC is running 24/7, and after purchasing these, my electric bill went down about 25%. These are honestly such a smart investment if you’re looking to sleep in or cool your house down. I feel like an idiot for not buying them sooner." —Lucinda Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in many sizes and colors). Promising review: "As a person prone to headaches, going through the heat issues of menopause, and living in the desert...this is an absolute game changer!!! We keep two in gallon plastic bags: one in the fridge, one in the freezer. I'm able to stave off oncoming headaches and calm down existing ones to a great degree. The one in the freezer is super intense, and I'll put it on and take it off a few times. I use that more for needing to cool down quickly or for a twisted ankle or wrist. These are genius in form and function. Pricey, but worth it for its purpose!!" —TBS Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in five colors). Promising review: "Sits amongst my lotions and potions and has done for years. Another can’t live without product that I use daily. Wake up with a hot flash, cool yourself down with a spray of this! I definitely recommend it." —Lesleyanne Heathcote Get it from Amazon for $4.39+ (available in two sizes, four scents, and unscented). It features a programmable LCD controller with a heating and cooling thermostat and automated fan speeds. Promising review: "I live in Iowa and summers here are HOT…100 degrees a lot of the time and horribly humid. It’s pretty awful. Anyway, for almost four years I’ve suffered through summers in my primary bedroom that’s always been 8-10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. We’ve had multiple HVAC people out, all of whom told us there’s not much they could do unless they ripped open walls to check why cool air (and heat in the winter) doesn’t get up to our bedroom. We’ve bought every fan and portable AC under the sun, but still nothing worked. I bought this product last week, and as soon as I plugged it in and installed it, I could feel a difference." —Stephanie Sherrod Promising review: "I did have to push the magnets to the edge of the guard, but once that adjustment took place, it stuck to the vents easily. We have a vaulted ceiling, and, without these, only a small part of the room is cooled. These went up easily and don't detract from the appearance of our room, as they are clear. My living room is noticeably cooler, which is good when you live in the deep South. These are good quality, lightweight, and worth the money." —M. Arnold Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.59 (also available in larger packs). The futuristic gadget (which works on beds of all sizes) is outfitted with biorhythm sleep technology. Basically, that's just a fancy way of saying it's programmed to change the temperature each hour of the night to help you sleep better. You can also set the temperature to whatever degree you'd like using the accompanying remote. If you're a cold sleeper, you can also set it to heat mode, and it'll warm you up 15 times faster than a regular ol' blanket! Just plug the small unit into an outlet, slip the vacuum-like tube under your sheets, set your preferred temperature, and you're good to go. Since there are no wires or anything like that, it also won't affect the coziness of your mattress. Promising reviews: "I purchased this for my husband who always gets hot through the night. This actually has helped him so much and has definitely cut down on our AC bills. I like the quiet hum of the machine as well." —Rachel M. "This is THE ANSWER to hot flashes!!!!!! No more fans that dry you out, no more high AC bills...press the cool button and instantaneous cool air comes from the end of the bed and circulates your whole body! What an instant relief!!!!!" —Debbie P. Get it from BedJet for $498 (orginally $699; also available in a dual-zone option). XFasten is a small business that makes a wide range of adhesive products from carpet tapes to safety walk tapes. Promising review: "My portable AC unit had gaps between the plastic piece where it mounts on my window. I tried tape but found it had no effect. I tried this tape it lowered my room temperature by 5 degrees. Worth it!" —Tai T. Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes). Promising review: "I absolutely love love love this pillow. I wasn't sleeping okay at night anymore due to back pain and my belly being to heavy, but the support this pillow gives me is 100% worth the money. I am able to lay comfortably for a long time and not get back pain from my belly having no support. I can wash it because it has a zipper to take out the cover and when I'm done with the pregnancy I can store it back in the bag it came in by sucking the air out the bag. Honestly, it's perfect." —Amanda Nicole Rivera Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (the cooling fabric is available in two colors, but additional versions are also available for slightly cheaper). It comes with a window kit for easy installation, too! Promising reviews: "Incredible portable AC unit. This unit is a hoss. It is the only one we have gotten that cools our bedroom in under 30 minutes. We have tried at least three other units that were too weak, too loud, or failed after a few weeks. Stop looking around and get this one." —Andrew "I love to sleep in a freezing cold room, but I hate the power bill that goes along with cooling an entire house. This unit was the best solution. It keeps the room frigid, and I sleep like a rock. It barely increases my bill and really improves my sleep." —Mat Get it from Amazon for $389.99+ (available in 8,000, 10,000, 12,000, and 14,000 BTU models, plus a version that also functions as a heater). 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 $7.98+ (available in four colors). Promising review: "It’s saved us so much money on our energy bill. We’re definitely buying more, and I encourage you to buy more if you want to save on your energy bills." —Kellykelly Sheex is a woman-owned small business from Michelle Marciniak and Susan Walvius, former University of South Carolina basketball coaches who set out to make bedding as comfortable as their favorite performance fabrics. Promising review: "I’m one of those who rarely reviews things, and when I received this in the mail, I legitimately thought I was scammed out of $30. It looks like nothing, just your average silky eye mask. I put it on, and it certainly didn’t feel like anything special. Ha, I ate those words. I don’t know what kind of black magic they’re using in the manufacturing process (especially with these supply chain issues), but I actually can’t be without it now. It fully covers my eyes in the lightest, most comfortable way, and it doesn’t feel restrictive at all. Over the long Thanksgiving weekend, there were three nights in a row that I slept 9+ HOURS !!! I mean, this is not a drill. My husband thought something was wrong with me. Bottom line, I’m getting some of the best sleep I’ve ever gotten. Do your battle-tattered body a favor and get one of these." —Ruth Get it from Sheex for $22.75 (originally $35). Promising reviews: "With hot flashes and Florida heat, these pajamas have been a great help in sleeping through the night. The fabric is actually cool to the touch. Very comfortable." —mrssmith "These are the ones I have been searching for! I have not been sweating at all since I started wearing them (I'm 49 and get hot flashes during the night) or at least waking up with damp clothes. The only thing I don't like is that they take forever to air dry because of the pocket construction. Other than that they seem well made and are super comfortable! I'm getting a second pair so I can rotate them for plenty of drying time." —Greg Ruth Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes S–4X and 20 colors).
