A pillow for anyone—back, side AND stomach sleepers—the Spiraled Wool Pillow from Metta touts organic certification and uses spiraled wool stuffing.

Touted as a magical sleeping light, Casper’s glorified night light is specially designed to help the user sleep better. With a sleek design, the glow light gives off “just enough light” to find a midnight snack (and maybe even scare off any closet monsters!). In all seriousness, this lamp offers mood lighting in the evening that slowly dims for bedtime and softly wakes up the sleeper in the morning with a soft light. Sounds pretty nice!

Bearaby’s Knit Weighted Blanket
Weighted Blankets
Ranging from around. 15lbs-25lbs in weight, weighted blankets don’t just keep you warm. The deep touch pressure they provide can help alleviate anxiety. We couldn’t think of a more reassuring present for such an anxiety-filled year.
Brooklyn Bedding’s Dual Therapy Weighted Blanket
Designed to provide deep touch pressure support, the Dual Therapy Weighted Blanket from Brooklyn Bedding features a flippable and removable duvet cover: one side blankets the user in a traditional, cozy and warm blanket while the other side offers the tranquility of weight, coupled with an advanced cooling fabric.

Bearaby’s Knit Weighted Blanket
Bearaby weighted blankets have a distinctively different construction than other weighted blankets on the market. Rather than filling the blanket with beads, the Bearaby weighted blanket consists of chunky, weighted knit loops that are soft as well as heavy enough to provide the therapeutic benefits for which weighted blankets are known. Bearaby blankets also come in bright colors as well as velvet, natural, cotton and kids options.

POSH+Lavish Split Head Mattress
Presents For Your Partner
Everyone needs a gift for their special someone. We selected two choices that can also potentially end any bedroom disputes!
A great gift for couples, the Smart Nora can either be a hint from one spouse to the other—or a gift for oneself that results in a happier partner. Basically, the Smart Nora helps with snoring. It gets tucked under the pillow, and when it detects snoring, it adjusts the pillow to help tone it down and ease the sleeper’s position thus stopping the snore.

Posh+Lavish’s Split Head Mattress
A much larger investment but perfect for a couple looking to gift each other one large purchase for the holiday, a new mattress from Posh+Lavish can help people avoid a sleep divorce. It’s exactly what it sounds like—the mattress is split at the top making it easier for one side of the bed to read or watch tv, while the other sleeps. It can also help account for differences in mattress firmness needs and more.
