A good night's sleep isn't a luxury; it's the foundation of your health, mood, and productivity. Finding the best sleep products for you can make the difference between restless nights and truly restorative rest, which is why we've dedicated hundreds of hours to rigorously testing mattresses, pillows, pajamas, sleep tech, and more. Here, you'll find our top-tested products — whether you're a side sleeper, a hot sleeper, dealing with back pain, are sensitive to noise, or looking for budget-friendly options — to help you build your best night's sleep.

Best sleep products for hot sleepers

You get better rest when your body is cooler. If you tend to overheat at night — whether from summer humidity, perimenopause, or a lack of air conditioning — these cooling products can help regulate your temperature and improve your sleep.

Best sleep products for back pain

Back pain can make it hard to fall — and stay — asleep. Whether your discomfort comes from poor spinal alignment, pressure points, or a mattress that no longer offers enough support, the right sleep products can help reduce pain and make your nights more comfortable.

Best sleep products for side sleepers

Side sleepers need the right mix of cushioning and support to keep their spring aligned and prevent pressure buildup at the shoulders and hips. If your mattress feels too firm or your pillow doesn't provide enough height, it can lead to discomfort and restless sleep. These products are designed to relieve pressure, support proper alignment, and help you stay comfortable throughout the night.

Invest in the best mattress you can afford

If you can't remember the last time you replaced your mattress, it might be time to get a new one. After testing more than 100 models, we found the best for every sleep position and need, from hot sleepers to those with back pain.

Your perfect pillow is out there

We used to think a one-size-fits-all-pillow didn't exist — until we tested the Coop Sleep Goods Original Pillow, which lets you customize loft and density to match your sleep style. We've also found plenty of other options for side, back, and stomach sleepers.

The most comfortable bedding

From sheets to comforters, the way your bedding feels matters just as much as how it looks. Whether you refresh your bedding seasonally or are looking for a new everyday set, our guides will help you find the perfect fit.

The best solutions for hot sleepers

If you sleep hot or struggle with night sweats caused by menopause, the right products can make a noticeable difference. Our top picks feature breathable fabrics and lightweight layers that can help you stay cool and comfortable all night.

Useful sleep aids and tech

Sleep hygiene goes beyond your mattress and sheets — your bedroom environment plays a major role, too. From air purifiers and blackout curtains to alarm clocks, sleep headphones, and sleep trackers, the right tools can help you wind down, stay asleep, and wake up feeling refreshed.

Wind down with the coziest pajamas

We're pretty serious about our loungewear, from cooling pajamas to spa-worthy robes. Because what you wear to bed can make a bigger difference in your sleep quality than you might think.

More sleep upgrades to consider

Small upgrades can make a big difference in your sleep quality. From mattress toppers to sleep masks, these add-ons help fine-tune your setup for even better rest.

I am the Senior Home Editor on the Business Insider Reviews team, where I work with editors and contributors to scope out the best products in the home and kitchen space, including sleep, cleaning, housewares, furniture, and small appliances. I lend out practical buying advice about what to look for when making purchase decisions, big and small. I keep track of the latest product releases and the buzziest products to cut through the noise and tell you what’s worth your attention. I also lead our gift guides coverage to help you quickly find unique and thoughtful gifts for any occasion. My areas of expertiseI’ve loved all things interiors from a young age. My home is my sanctuary, and I love filling it with beautiful objects that make life better (and cozier). I’ve carved a bit of a niche for myself in the world of sleep, where I’ve tested hundreds of bedding products, including sheets, comforters, pillows, and mattresses, and have even had the opportunity to tour mattress factories. To my dog's chagrin, my house also has more vacuums than the average person should ever have. When he’s not trying to attack a robovac or check out the latest cordless stick, I’m always testing how well they clean and how well they actually pick up hair. (Mine sheds more than the dog.) Overall, my coverage crisscrosses home and kitchen, where I use our extensive Home and Kitchen testing methodologies to evaluate everything from air purifiers and air fryers to furniture and candles. I also contribute to our sections around plus-size fashion and gifting. In addition to product testing and content strategy, I am an experienced deal hunter and writer, surfacing the best deals and discounts on home products during major shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and beyond. My experienceI have nine years of experience covering the home industry. I joined Business Insider in October 2023 and previously held editorial and commerce roles with Homes & Gardens, Real Homes, Livingetc, The Spruce, MyDomaine, and Apartment Therapy. I got my start working for two trade publications, Home Furnishings News and Gifts and Decorative Accessories, identifying trends at trade shows and understanding the state of retail businesses in the home and housewares industry. Why you can trust meI’m on a never-ending quest to find products that balance value and quality, and I approach marketing claims with a healthy dose of skepticism.  I love guiding friends and family to the best products for their needs. While I wish I could provide everyone with detailed, personalized recommendations, I like to consider all use cases to make it clear and easy to see whether something will work for your needs or lifestyle.My educationI’m a graduate of the University of Maryland, College Park, where I received dual bachelor of arts degrees in Journalism and American Studies. Outside of workWhen I’m not working, I can be found perusing the aisles at HomeGoods, scrolling TikTok for too long, and trying out local restaurants. I’m trying to play more pickleball and want to learn mahjong.  I live in Atlanta, GA, with my Cavapoo.
