Soft, smooth, and substantial, the Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Core Sheet Set is a real crowd-pleaser among Well+Good readers and editors alike. The cotton sateen set, in a 480 thread count, is also OEKO-TEX certified, so you can rest easy knowing that it was made without harsh processing chemicals. It comes with a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and one or two pillowcases, and in a whole slew of colors.
There’s no surprise here: the Oprah-approved Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set is also a favorite among Well+Good readers. Made from bamboo viscose, “it has a silk-like consistency that is at once luxurious and lightweight—and, not to mention, incredibly soft,” contributor Kayla Hui previously wrote. The set comes with a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases, and it’s available in over a dozen colors.
W+G readers went to bed and woke up in fashion with the Hatch Restore 2, which is like a sleep coach, mood light, and alarm clock rolled into one chic little device. It’s designed to help you wind down, stay asleep, and wake up feeling like a functioning human (instead of a zombie). Use the soothing sound machine, guided meditations, or the warm, cozy light to create a bedtime vibe that actually works. And mornings? The sunrise simulation gently eases you awake, so you can ditch that jarring alarm.

Some of our readers needed a little nudge towards dreamland (big same), and for that, they took Olly Sleep gummies. Packed with melatonin, L-theanine, and botanicals like chamomile and lemon balm, these chewy treats help calm your mind and signal your body it’s time to snooze.
It’s easy to see why our readers loved this lil’ gadget. This compact device offers 16 soothing sound options, from white noise to nature sounds, to lull you into a peaceful sleep. Whether you’re blocking out noisy neighbors or just trying to zen out before bed, the Whish delivers. Plus, it’s small enough to take on trips, so your good night’s sleep doesn’t stay at home. Trust the hype—your ears (and brain) will thank you.
Sijo’s Eucalyptus Sheet Set is among the most luxurious bed sheets Well+Good editors have slept on, and readers love it, too. They’re made from 100 percent eucalyptus Tencel lyocell that isn’t just silky-soft, but also breathable and moisture-wicking. The sustainably sourced fibers are also OEKO-TEX certified. Shop the option of sets with or without a flat sheet and over 10 colors.

Parachute’s linen duvet cover is a Well+Good reader favorite. Made from 100 percent linen, it’s a great choice for warmer weather or people who sleep hot. Secure corner ties prevent it from sliding and bunching, plus it’s fully machine washable for ease. What’s more, it comes in eight pretty muted colors such as beige, chocolate brown, and white.
The Tuft & Needle Percale Duvet Cover Set has a zipper (as opposed to buttons or ties) that make changing your bedding that much easier. It’s made from 100 percent Supima cotton to offer sleepers the crisp yet soft feel of a fancy hotel bed. And it is OEKO-TEX certified to ensure it’s been tested for and is free from potentially harmful substances.
Well+Good readers rested their heads on this Coyuchi pillow this year. It’s made with an airy latex filling that is GOTS-certified, and it has cutouts for the head and ears to ensure comfort, whether you sleep on your side or your back. According to chiropractors, it’s also an excellent pillow for preventing neck pain.

A top pick for side-sleepers and stomach-sleepers, this pillow is filled with a memory that is not only comfortable but also supportive. What’s more, you can adjust the filling so you can achieve just the right amount of loft for your sleep preferences. The pillow comes in two size—Standard and King— and has a cotton sateen cover that’s breathable and silky smooth.
“The Eight Sleep Pod 4 is a product unlike anything else on the market, and I don’t say that lightly,” says Well+Good contributor Zoë Weiner. The mattress can cool or warm the bed’s surface, and its built-in sensors adjust the temperature and bed position to help optimize your sleep. “I’ve convinced so many people to invest in this truly life-changing technology,” says Weiner—including Well+Good readers, it seems.
Side-sleepers, aka the majority of people, will love Saatva’s innerspring mattress as much as Well+Good readers. It’s a “solid all-arounder for many types of sleepers,” Derek Hales, editor-in-chief and founder of NapLap, previously told Well+Good. What’s more? It has a seal of approval from the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations, which means it meets COCSA’s standards for supporting spinal health.

Well+Good readers are no longer spending hours assembling complicated bed frames thanks to Thuma. Its bed frame comes together without tools, and the components click together like Legos. The frame itself is a sight to behold—just look at it! It comes in four variations: the Headboard + Cushion, Pillowboard; Headboard; and Frame, the last of which Well+Good editors tested (and loved).
Our readers aren’t the only one sleeping like babies—their babies are, too, thanks to the famous Snoo. The Snoo bassinet comes with a Snoo Sleep Sack to swaddle your baby while the bassinet swings, sways, and plays white noise, creating a soothing environment. The accompanying app allows you to customize the settings and track sleep, so you get some much-needed rest, too.
