Quiet the room
Ear plugs, blackout curtains, sleep masks, and headphones for a darker, quieter night.
The best ear plugs for sleeping quiet a snoring partner or street noise without jabbing your ear into the pillow. Pick foam for max block, putty for side sleep, or reusable tips for nightly use.
Blackout curtains fix morning glare and daytime naps when you size them right. Here is how triple-weave grommet panels compare with lined 100% blackout sets.
The best sleep mask blocks light without crushing your eyes. Contoured cups block the most light. Flat two-strap silk is the pick when you side sleep and want less pressure. Pick by shape, then strap, then care.
Sleep headphones should stay put on your side without jabbing an earbud into the pillow. Pick a thin headband, or a mask with speakers if light is also keeping you up.
Weighted blankets
Pick the right weight, then choose a size and a washable cover.
A weighted blanket should feel like steady pressure, not a sweaty tarp. Here is how to pick the right pounds and a cover you can wash without dragging 15 pounds to the laundry.
Match weighted blanket pounds and dimensions to one sleeper, not the whole mattress. Use the size chart below, then pick a washable cover you can actually launder.
Warmth for cold sleepers
Heated blankets that take the chill off without piling on a heavy duvet.
