Set includes duvet cover and one or two pillow shams.

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 is seriously so cozy and well made. My only complaint would be how hard 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

Get the set from Amazon for $51.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and 29 colors).

Promising review: "Love this sound machine. It gives you the option of a timer (where it auto shuts off after 30, 45, or 60 minutes) or just constant noise. Perfect for a baby who wakes up in the middle of the night and needs a little noise to help coax them back to sleep!" —C.Tyler

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in white or black).

Promising review: "These are definitely worth the price. My significant other and I apparently run marathons in our sleep, so the fitted sheet and mattress pad came off the bed without fail. We own a double pillow-top mattress and they haven't stretched out while holding a fitted sheet, (that shrunk in the wash), plus two mattress pads. They hold them firmly to the bed with no slipping. No damage has been done to the sheets, either." —Michelle

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in standard and extra-long sizes, and in black, white, and pink).

Promising review: "I got this thing so I could do schoolwork on my couch after a long day at the office. I mean... Who really wants to sit at an office desk for eight hours and then again at home? My couch is way more comfortable. But cranking my neck is not. So this thing is great because of the variable height and the tilting table so I can get my laptop up to eyeball level without causing neck strain. And the side area is great for holding my coffee and my Bluetooth mouse. When raised to its full height, it seems a little unstable but that's the only critique." —Marvi

Get it from Amazon for $35.99.

Promising review: "My goddaughter is due to give birth soon. And while everyone is gifting gifts for her soon-to-arrive son, I decided she needed a little something for herself. I wanted her to have something to rejuvenate her in a long shower after a long day with a newborn. First-time moms need a little pampering too. My goddaughter smelled the scent from the unopened box and LOVED them." —Gidget007

Get the pack of six from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in packs of six, eight, and 12 and in two scent combinations).

Promising review: "I ADORE THESE! I just gave two to a friend as part of a wedding gift and she is in love. I think I will have to order them by the dozen so I can still have one for me as my whole family covets them and is stealing them away. They are great for curly hair. You wake up and your hair doesn't look like a rat's nest. I've read that they are also great for your skin so am watching to see if that is true. Thank you for a fabulous product." —Lena

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in seven sizes and 40 colors).

Promising review: "We bought a small, one-bedroom condo and have a pullout couch for guests when they stay the night. When we have more people over, these work great as extra seating in our modest living room and stack great in the corner when we’re not using them! They are super cozy and comfy! Just the right amount of cushion!" —Keri Boyd

Get it from Amazon for $30.80+ (available in eight colors).

Promising review: "OK guys. Here’s the deal. This is gonna be a long review but TLDR; this is an amazing little product and I highly recommend it. I suffer from mild insomnia and generally have to use sleep aids, which is fine but not ideal for every night. I also moved from SoCal to Washington state a year ago and I have NEVER been exposed to so little sunlight in my life! This👏🏼Little👏🏼Alarm👏🏼Clock👏🏼 Has changed my life and I’ve only had it for like three weeks. The sleepy time setting has the ability to KNOCK me out without the use of sleep aids! What?! My brain totally responds to the way the light functions. The morning alarm is so gentle and peaceful (you can completely control the noise and brightness settings). I wake up much more naturally rather than to the blaring honk or passive-aggressive chiming of a traditional alarm (looking at you Apple). The light settings are so fun as well! I love having it on a low setting in while I’m journaling, reading, watching tv, anything really! I would pay two or three times the price for this thing. It’s 100% worth it." —KatieM

Get it from Amazon for $32.88+ (available in two options).

Promising review: "Bright and worth more than it costs! Very bright and I like that it has a button to turn it on and off." —V.R.

Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

Promising review: "I love it! I've been annoyed for a long while now with laying my back against a cold, hard surface while trying to relax in the tub. I've owned those blow-up type pillows before, but they were a pain, always losing their air and their buoyancy caused them to continually lose suction. This pillow is thick, comfortable, and stays stuck very well. I've taken about six baths with it so far with no problems." —Mama-O

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two options).

Promising review: "These lights are perfect for what I was looking for. They give off a warm and cozy glow, and really add a nice touch of oomph to the room." —Nechama G.

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in seven colors and two sizes).

Promising review: "I adore this scent! Distinctive but subtle and raises my mood with the soothing scent wafting through the air. It really seems high quality. I got the lavender one. If you are a candle, scent, a 'nose' type, you will enjoy these!" —BGrace

Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

Promising review: "I've had a hard time finding suitable pillows for home without spending a fortune. I travel for a living so I am very used to $100-200 pillows. I figured I would try these and they are awesome. They are soft enough but not too soft that your head sinks into it. I go between side sleeping and stomach sleeping and it works for both. I am extremely happy after the first week. They are as close to my hotel pillows as anything I've tried before." —Tim Carr

Get a set of two from Amazon for $59.34+ (available in standard/queen and king sizes).

Promising review: "Listen, just buy it. It’s totally worth it! I received this as a gift from my hubby and I love it! It’s sturdy and larger enough for my garden tub. The line glass holder can be tricky if the trim is thick. I wish the 'iPad' holding spot would hold an old-fashioned book. It doesn’t lean back enough to secure a book." —Keia S

Get it from Amazon for $29.49+ (available in four finishes).

NEKONOTE Store is a Sydney, Australia-based small business filled with gorgeous home accessories.

Get it from NEKONOTE Store on Etsy for $18.89+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. She has an hour+ drive each way to work. She has told me that this pillow has made a huge difference in her comfort level on that drive. Her back is a lot better after using this pillow on the long drives. I would recommend this for people who sit a lot." —KMButler

Get it from Amazon for $47.99 (available in five colors). There is also a footrest version.

Promising review: "I wanted something that would keep the noise out, to be honest. I live in a small NYC apartment with roommates, and have French doors. I wanted something to fit underneath that would serve specifically to reduce noise, but also not be a pain when I opened and closed the doors. It works wonderfully! It reduces the noise level from the outside, and vice versa. The talking and TV in the living room are muted, and I have been told my phone conversations are quieter! So perfect for what I needed!" —Meagan

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I bought this based on other reviews. There are cheaper products you can buy, but this one is quality. You get what you pay for. I was skeptical because it comes in a small box, and when you unwrap it the foam is compressed, and it looks like garbage. However, after you take the time to fluff it up and let the foam expand, it is amazing. Don't be fooled! I am actually using it as I write this review. A+ product." —Meghan R.

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors).

Promising review: "This is the second set of these I've purchased (bought two different colors to change out when one set is in the laundry), and I completely love them. They are so soft, easy to put the pillows into, and they come out of the laundry looking brand new. Get a couple of different colors and switch out for holidays, or when desiring a quick easy decor change. I highly recommend them." —Melanie Mastin

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 12 sizes and in 36 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, regular tape covered in sharpie, etc, but true to the name of these products if you're looking for something to DIM, then this is for you. Also, the 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

Promising review: "I never write reviews but thought I should after buying two of these blankets! I haven’t slept through the night for almost six years, thanks to a difficult pregnancy and baby, my body is trained to only sleep a couple of hours at a time. I tried everything, and am shocked that a weighted blanket worked so magically! From restless legs, insomnia, anxiety, it is an instant fix! I have it draped over me while I write this and it feels amazing!" —Jenny

Get it from Amazon for $29.90+ (available in 15 sizes and 38 colors).

Promising review: "This was just what I expected and was looking for in a lightweight duvet cover. The material is very soft (kind of velvety and silky at the same time) but pretty thin. I got the white in the queen size. The material is soft, almost a little clingy, so slight creases and wrinkles can be smoothed out pretty easily. The bottom has a button closure (an approx. 3-inch flap sort of folds over and has clear buttons on the inside). The bottom of the comforter does stick out a bit sometimes when I make the bed, simply tugging and smoothing slightly covers it and tucks it back in the cover. Great, simple cover at a great price. Doesn't seem to snag easily, washes/dries well with no noticeable shrinkage, and stains come out easily (my dog sneaked on the bed twice and made a gross stain; both times I just threw the cover in the washer and dryer after a little dab of regular detergent and the stain was completely gone)." —j&a

Get it from Amazon for $34.79+ (available in queen and king and in 12 colors, if you're looking for something that fits your full and twin beds check out this microfiber set).

Promising review: "Purchased these for my studio, which is in an old mill. I wanted them for their insulating properties more than to block out the light because my studio loses a lot of heat at night due to its enormous windows. The curtains/drapes work great for both — I am especially pleased with how well they help keep the space from losing heat! Before having the curtains the space would lose about 8 degrees in temperature overnight. Now, with the curtains, the space no longer loses heat overnight! It is now so nice to go into my studio in the morning and find it still toasty warm!" —Noname

Get them from Amazon for $38.99+ a panel (available in four sizes and eight colors).

Promising review: "I had a different mattress cover before and I never got that nice crisp feeling in my sheets so I thought it may be from the mattress cover I originally bought. I got this one that had many reviews saying it had a cooling effect and YES it does. I get in my sheets and they’re so much cooler! Also, the cover gives a nice added cushioning." —E. Shaughnessy

Get it from Amazon for $39.91+ (available in twin-California king and in four colors).

Promising review: "I am delighted with this diffuser. It came quickly, was packed securely and efficiently, with easy-to-open packaging. The specs say that it runs about three hours on the continuous setting (it can also run intermittently), but when filled completely, I've found it lasts through the night. I have it set on my nightstand and it's perfect for unwinding at bedtime (or with some sinus-clearing essential oils on a headache day)." —BookBelle

Plawanature is a small business and community manufacturer and exporter of handmade, eco-friendly dried flowers.

Get the set of 10 from the Plawanature Store on Amazon Handmade for $23.20. They're also available in a more neutral set of mini gerbera roses.

Promising review: "I put this in my bedroom to help with sinus congestion. This thing is powerful. I cranked it up to high and woke up to 58% humidity, which makes you wake up feeling like you inhaled water. Turned it to low and got 49%, which ended up being about perfect. It can run for about three or four nights on low, and the oil diffuser works well if you put enough oil in it. I wake up feeling the least congested in the 48–50% range." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in black and white).

Promising review: "When this blanket first arrived, I held it up to my face, said ‘It’s so fluffy I’m gonna die!’ and chuckled to myself. I set it up as a throw to make the guest chair in my office a little more inviting and colorful. Little did I know my exclamation would be prophetic. The very next day, I found my furbaby almost too relaxed to remember to breathe. Despite it, he refuses to leave the almost womb-like softness and warmth of this thing which is the blanket equivalent of Flexeril. I can’t get him out of it. I’m afraid I’m going to lose him. Thanks, Bedsure – for a killer blanket. (In all seriousness, the cat is fine. He loves the blanket, and so do I. When he’s willing to share.)" —Ninacarme N Monroe

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five sizes and 28 colors).

Promising review: "I just recently moved to LA and chose a color scheme of white and gray. I bought two of these to go next to my sofa table (on each side). They are comfy/stiff at the same time. Great pattern, and very strong and good quality material. My dog tried to bite/rip them and nothing happened! I also bought these on Amazon because of the price. I found similar ones at CB2 where I originally looked for $120 each! Buying two of these for $60 were a steal, and they look and feel great in my living room." —Ana Fakiris

Get it from Amazon for $67.99 (available in 16 colors).

Promising review: "I LOVE THIS AREA RUG! The rug came within three to five days of ordering and it's amazing quality-wise and aesthetically. I purchased the 8'x10' and it fits my room perfectly. Personally, I did not feel the need to buy a rug pad for added thickness. It is soft and cushy (super-technical term) to walk on barefoot. The colors are absolutely perfect for my room. The ivory is a true ivory and the gray goes perfectly with my blue-gray walls. I could not be happier with this purchase — especially for the price!" —Flint

Get it from Amazon for $25.28+ (available in 15 colors and 37 sizes).

Promising review: "Got these kitchen mats to spice up the kitchen a bit and to assist in keeping the floors clean. What I didn’t realize was how comfortable they were going to be to stand on while I am doing the dishes and cooking at the stovetop. Perfect thickness, don’t feel like I need to step up to move across them. Seriously enjoying them. When I got them right out of the box they weren’t laying quite flat yet but they straightened out after just a little while of being unwrapped from the packaging." —Kathleen Knepper

Get the set of two from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and eight colors).

Promising review: "Received this as a wedding gift. It is lovely. Thin but very nice quality and soft. I love it." —Cherry

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 27 colors and three sizes).

Promising review: "Let me tell you: I did painstaking research about which bean bag I wanted to get. We're not working with much space to begin with, so I definitely didn't want something too big. This 5-footer was a perfect choice. It's honestly SO comfortable I've already taken several naps on it — even slept through the night once. It decompressed pretty much instantly and did expand a little more on the second day. Definitely fluff it every once in a while to keep it full. The microsuede cover is super comfortable too and makes it so that you can't feel the memory foam pieces underneath." —Salomon D Jeter

Get it from Amazon for $118.50 (available in 31 colors).
