1. Perfect Pillows for Support
The right pillow can make or break your sleep experience. Whether you’re a back, side, or stomach sleeper, your pillow should align your neck and spine properly. Memory foam, down, or adjustable pillows offer support tailored to your needs. Replace pillows every 1-2 years to ensure they maintain their structure and cleanliness.

2. Soft, Breathable Bedding
The type of sheets you sleep on can significantly impact your comfort and sleep quality. Look for soft, breathable materials like cotton, bamboo, or linen, which allow for better airflow and temperature regulation. High-thread-count sheets may feel luxurious but aren’t always the best for breathability—opt for a weave that suits your needs. If you’re a hot sleeper, moisture-wicking sheets can keep you cool and comfortable throughout the night. Additionally, choose hypoallergenic sheets if you’re sensitive to dust or allergens, and remember to wash them weekly to keep your sleep environment fresh and clean.
We Recommend: The Queen Dusk Botanical Sheet Set by Malouf are cooler than linen, softer than silk, and more absorbent than cotton, this eco-friendly fabric offers luxurious softness and breathability. Designed with Universal Fit extra-deep pockets and thick elastic to stay securely on mattresses up to 18” high.
3. Blackout Curtains or Shades
Light exposure disrupts melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep. Blackout curtains or shades block out light pollution and early morning rays, helping you maintain a consistent sleep cycle.
4. Adjustable Mattress Base
An adjustable mattress base can elevate your sleep experience—literally. These bases allow you to customize your sleeping position by raising or lowering your head and feet, which can relieve pressure on your back, improve circulation, and reduce issues like snoring or acid reflux. They’re especially beneficial for couples, as many models offer split settings for individual preferences. Pair your adjustable base with a compatible mattress to ensure smooth operation and maximum comfort. Whether you’re watching TV, reading, or sleeping, the ability to adjust your position adds a layer of luxury and practicality to your sleep routine.
We Recommend: Beautyrest Queen Motion Restore Adjustable Base. Create your optimal sleep sanctuary with under-bed light settings and an integrated sound machine with white, pink, and brown noise. A dual massage feature aids in nightly relaxation. With USB charging ports conveniently incorporated and a Zero-Gravity preset included for a weightless, calming feel, the Motion Restore Base helps to simplify your sleep accessories, relax your body, and promote the deep, restful sleep you deserve.
5. Adjustable Lighting
Dimmable lights or bedside lamps with warm, soft hues mimic the natural progression of sunset, signaling to your body that it’s time to wind down. Avoid harsh, blue-tinged lights in the evening to reduce stimulation.
6. Temperature Control
The ideal sleep temperature is around 65°F, but comfort can vary. Use a fan, air conditioner, or heater to create a cozy, personalized climate. Layer your bedding to make adjustments throughout the night.
7. White Noise Machines or Sound Apps
Unwanted noise can interrupt your sleep, but a steady, soothing sound can help mask disruptions. White noise machines, nature sounds, or even a fan can provide calming background noise to lull you into slumber.
8. Aromatherapy
Certain scents, like lavender or chamomile, are known for their relaxation properties. Use a diffuser or pillow spray to create a calming ambiance that signals it’s time to sleep.
9. Decluttered Bedroom
A clutter-free space promotes a sense of calm. Keep your bedroom free of distractions like work materials and bright electronics to create a sanctuary dedicated solely to rest.
10. A Consistent Routine
Finally, no sleep accessory can replace the value of a consistent bedtime routine. Set a regular sleep schedule, wind down with relaxing activities like reading or meditation, and avoid screens an hour before bed.
