Best Deals on Pillows, Sheets, and Other Sleep Accessories

The Talalay latex pillows from Brooklyn Bedding may be a good choice for side sleepers because they got above-average scores on that test. They’re a bit subpar for back sleepers, though. But these pillows got top marks for breathability, so they should help with temperature control while you sleep.

Why it’s a good deal: This is the standard discount for this pillow.

Made of two layers of gel memory foam, Tempur-Pedic’s Tempur-Cloud Breeze Dual Cooling Pillow is the most expensive pillow we’ve tested. It’s top-notch when it comes to side-sleeper support, but only middling for back-sleeper support. In our resilience test, this pillow successfully maintained its shape. Despite having “breeze” in its name, the pillow doesn’t allow for much airflow, so you may get sweaty sleeping on it. Only the cover is machine-washable.

Why it’s a good deal: This sale price is within a few dollars of what we saw for Prime Day.

This set of two microfiber pillows offers very good support for side sleepers, but it earns just middling scores in our back support tests. And its resilience is just so-so. But if you sleep on the warmer side, you can find comfort in knowing that this pillow has maximum breathability.

Why it’s a good deal: Pillows can be expensive, but this is a lower-cost option, especially with such a big discount.

Brushed microfiber isn’t as breathable as cotton, but if synthetic fibers aren’t a hang-up, this Mellanni sheet set is a top-notch pick. It offers a softer feel than most cotton options, it’s pretty resistant to wrinkling, and you can expect a great fit even after a year of laundering. You can also look forward to having this set in rotation for a while because it does pretty well in our strength test. The one area where these bedsheets miss the mark a bit is in our fit test. Though the packaging claims “deep pockets,” this set is best suited for mattresses with a depth of 10 inches or less.

Why it’s a good deal: With the on-page coupon, these sheets are just a few dollars more than they were during Prime Day. (Different colors and sizes may have varying prices, but most options are on sale.)

This Brooklinen set will fit a 14-inch mattress (or shorter). Our testers note that these sheets don’t shrink as much as some other cotton sheets we tested. They earn above-average scores for both fit and shrinkage, which means that they do tend to get smaller during washes, but they don’t deform all that much over time. Luxe Core sheets are on the softer side, based on our sensory test. Labels along each side that read “short side” and “long side” make clear which way to make the bed.

Why it’s a good deal: While these sheets were $20 cheaper during last week’s sales, this is still a nice discount. If you can wait until Labor Day, however, you may be able to save even more.

The cover of the Luna weighted blanket is cotton, and it’s filled with glass beads. It doesn’t come with a duvet cover, but you have several colors and materials to choose from if you’d like to buy one separately. Luna says you can wash the blanket in cold water on the gentle setting and hang it to dry or tumble-dry on low heat. A staffer who tried the Luna weighted blanket found it to be a solid choice for a budget-friendly price, but the material didn’t look and feel as smooth and sleek as the pricier options that were tried.

Why it’s a good deal: With the on-page coupon, you’re saving even more than the listed sale price.

The Gravity blanket comes with its own matching “micro-plush” duvet cover. It indeed felt soft to the touch, similar to velour, according to a staffer who tried it at home. She also noted that its system of ties, buttons, and zipper keeps the comforter particularly secure. Gravity says the cover is machine-washable in cold water and can be tumble-dried on low. The inner weighted blanket, which includes glass beads, is hand-wash and air-dry only. (But we did run it through one wash cycle because it seemed unwieldy to hand-wash something so large and heavy, and it turned out fine.) This blanket is sold in seven colors.

Why it’s a good deal: This is the standard discount for this blanket, but it usually doesn’t stick around long.

This small plug-and-play sound machine from Magicteam is sized just right—like a deck of cards if cards were square. It delivers good sound quality and variety, packing in 20 sounds, including nature sounds and even a freight train. The controls, just five buttons, are intuitive to use, although one evaluator said they were quite small and a bit difficult to see in low light. And it has a timer in case you don’t want it playing all night.

Why it’s a good deal: With the on-page coupon, this is within $2 of the best price we’ve seen.

The JALL Wake Up Light Sunrise Alarm Clock came out on top in our evaluations from an ease-of-use standpoint. It has two independent alarms (so you can set them for different times depending on your routine), seven alarm tones (including “wind bells” and birds chirping), an FM radio, and a fall-asleep mode that simulates a sunset (though no white-noise option). It was relatively easy to set up and use. According to the manufacturer, it emits a maximum light intensity of 240 lux. Tapping the snooze button will temporarily shut off both the light and the sound. (The advantage: You’re more likely to fall back asleep in the dark. The disadvantage? You’re more likely to fall back asleep in the dark.)

Why it’s a good deal: With the on-page coupon, it’s the best deal we’ve seen, beating the previous low by $1.

With the evaporative Vornado Huey, keeping a small room adequately moist is no problem: It gets our top score for output. As an evaporative model, it creates moisture by using a fan to blow air over a wet wick, so it’s not as quiet as some models. (Plus, the wick has to be replaced regularly.) There’s no automatic shutoff when the water is used up, but an indicator signals an empty tank.

Why it’s a good deal: This matches the best price we’ve seen for this model.

The ultrasonic cool-mist PureGuardian H3200WAR is among the top-rated humidifiers for medium-sized rooms (300 to 400 square feet), hitting high notes for nearly every performance category we rate: output, convenience, noise, efficiency, and operation using hard water. But it loses points because it doesn’t have a humidistat to measure relative humidity. Online, though, you can buy a hygrometer that does that for less than $10.

Why it’s a good deal: Wayfair’s price is the best we’ve seen for this humidifier.

For what CR considers a large room air purifier, the Samsung Bluesky is pretty compact. It stands at a little under 20 inches high, about 14 inches wide, and less than a foot deep. Those looking to purify their bedroom will appreciate the sleep mode, which minimizes light and noise, and the activated carbon filter, which can help keep kitchen smells from infiltrating your resting space. In CR’s tests, this four-speed model does a very good job at removing dust, pollen, and smoke from the air at high speed, and an average job at clearing the air at lower speeds. Samsung recommends the Bluesky for rooms up to 260 feet, but its impressive test results suggest it can be used in a space that’s larger.

Why it’s a good deal: This is just a few dollars more than we saw this model going for during Prime Day.

Samsung’s Bespoke Cube garners an impressive rating for its performance at its higher speed but is pretty subpar at its lower speed. But because it’s fairly quiet when operating at lower speeds, it’s best to put it in a smaller room than it’s intended. This model has a filter indicator light that tells you when the main HEPA filter is in need of changing, typically every 12 to 24 months, depending on use. This alert can also be found on the air purifier’s compatible app, which lets you monitor particulate counts as well as control the unit, even when you’re outside of the home.

Why it’s a good deal: The sale price is just $15 more than we saw during Prime Day.

The Levoit PlasmaPro 600S is a solid performer all-around, clearing the air of dust, pollen, and smoke at both higher and lower settings with great results. It’s noisy while running at a high speed, but it’s relatively quiet at low speeds. That makes it an ideal choice for an office or bedroom. And you don’t have to worry about keeping track of filter changes: An indicator light alerts you when it’s time. This machine also has a dust sensor and programmable timer.

Why it’s a good deal: The on-page coupon translates to a 10 percent discount. It’s not the best we’ve seen (it went for about $210 during Prime Day), but if you need an air purifier now, you’ll at least save a little bit.

Loud but effective at removing dust, pollen, and smoke when running at its highest speed, this Airdog portable air purifier misses the mark in a key area: Its air purifying performance at low speed is only fair, CR’s tests found. Note that at about 25 pounds, it’s also relatively heavy.

Why it’s a good deal: Thanks to the on-page coupon, you can get this for just under $600. Just note that the Prime Day price was closer to $520, so it may be worth waiting until Labor Day to see if the price dips further unless you need something now.

The Vornado VMH600 has the best overall performance of all the space heaters in our tests. It tops our spot-heating test while falling just a bit short on room heating, where it earns an above-average rating. It’s one of the quieter heaters in our tests, too, and sports safety features such as a tip-over switch and a timer that allows you to program when the heater turns on and off. It weighs 10 pounds and has an easy-to-use fan and a remote control.

Why it’s a good deal: This is the same modest discount we saw during Prime Day.

With a name like Heat Storm, you expect a lot, and both the Heat Storm Mojave and the Sahara (not currently on sale) hit our spot-heating test out of the park. The Mojave also earns above-average ratings for room heating, hot surface, noise, and ease of use. It weighs 9.5 pounds and comes with a fan and a remote control.

Why it’s a good deal: The current sale price is just $7 more than it was during last week’s big sales.

The Brooklinen Super-Plush bath towels are perfect for anyone who likes a towel as big as a blanket after their shower. These oversized towels are a whopping 53 inches long and 28 inches wide. They were also the most absorbent in our evaluation but took the longest time to dry. There are lots of color options to choose from as well.

Why it’s a good deal: You can save 10 percent right now, but note that this set was $8 cheaper last week and may fall in price again closer to Labor Day.

This Gaiam performance yoga mat dries very quickly. It offers excellent grip on the floor and on hands and feet, but only a fair amount of cushioning.

Why it’s a good deal: While it was $11 cheaper last week, this is still a nice discount compared with the original price.
