Promising review: "Been using as an alternative to a 'bonnet' while I sleep (I get too hot with that thing on my head) in addition to a satin headband, and they work great!" —Ashley

Promising review: "These had great reviews but I was still a bit skeptical. I'm a bit of a pillow snob. I usually require about three pillows for just myself, not including my husband. I like to sleep propped up a bit so my sinuses don't get stopped up at night. My old pillows would require three to nine adjustments a night for me to be comfortable again. These pillows — these amazing, heavenly pillows — are now my favorite part of going to bed. Soft but firm. How does that work? It gives support for me to sleep slightly propped up but I sink into this comfortable personal cloud. Soft, but firm. My head isn't sinking through the pillow to rest on my mattress, but I feel comfortably enveloped. Now mind you, I have one very cheap Walmart pillow behind it so I'm not against my headboard, but even still. Heaven. I bought two but think that would be too much fluff so now my husband and I each have one. Buy them. Add to cart. Buy now with one click. Stop the research. You've found the pillows you were looking for." —Marissa Urey

Promising review: "I washed these before using, regular cycle and dried them in the dryer. They came out perfect. Very little wrinkling. The envelope-type end is a nice touch. My boyfriend said they felt cool, which he likes as he's a hot sleeper. And the price is right." —Nancy Swiniarski

Promising review: "Finally found pillows that are worth every penny!!! I am buying more ASAP! I have a sweating problem and also have my bedroom on the third floor of my home so the heat rises, which doesn’t help my hot flashes at all! I have a hard time finding a pillowcase that isn’t sticky feeling, too hot to lay on, etc. I really appreciate that there is a zipper on one end of each pillowcase to zip up your pillow to help your pillow inside from slipping or falling out! These pillowcases are cool to the touch, super soft, and they are super comfortable to lay on, to the point I woke up with drool all over my face from my remarkable amount of great sleep I had! This pillowcase doesn’t get that overwhelming warm sticky feeling after laying on it for a while. It stays comfortable to lay on all through the night! I’m incredibly happy and grateful to finally find pillowcases that are exactly what anyone with sweating issues and hot flashes need and want in pillowcases." —CosmeticatedReviews

Promising review: "For anyone who might be skeptical, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks and it is life changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat. I was sweating through my shirt on my back — BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee

Promising review: "Used for wetting my 2-year-old's hair. Could have used it for crafts, could have used it for misting plants, so many things. It’s super durable, I know because she dropped it a million times. You don’t need to refill it every day, it doesn’t use a lot of water in each spritz but it does feel like it. Incredibly smooth. Would buy again (and I will because I left it at my sister's while traveling)." —Savannah

Promising review: "What a great product. I have not been sleeping at all in this heat but didn't want the investment of an AC unit so I did some research and this fan was at the top of numerous consumer reports and reviews. One hour into having one of my own I see why. It's a great product that makes being in bed comfortable. I'm so happy to be the newest owner of a Dreo vertical fan." —Erik Johnson

Promising review: "We live in Florida and realized how badly we needed a fan for our newborn. We use it pretty much on a daily basis. We put it on her car seat and on her stroller when we go on walks. I’ve even propped it up on our desk when I’m working and holding our daughter. The three speeds are great: low usually offers just enough of a cool down and high is very impressive because it’s fast and quiet. The lights we didn’t really need but has been a nice feature to have. Our daughter hates going in her car seat and this helps to distract her sometimes. Plus, since we live in Florida we have to wait to go on walks until later in the day and the light lets us be seen easier. Overall, it’s great and I’d definitely recommend!" —EmLe

Promising review: "I am a very hot sleeper, therefore I am very picky about my sheets. These sheets are very comfortable and do not make me hot. Also, the company is great to work with! Excellent customer service! When my sheets arrived, there was a small problem with the fitted sheet so I emailed them (the sheets came with a flyer with their contact info) and they sent me another fitted sheet right away. They said they are a family-owned business and really want the customer to have a great experience. I was impressed with that level of service especially in this day and age! Bottom line: great sheets, excellent customer service and great price! Do not hesitate to buy!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I'm a chronic night sweater living in a really hot New York City apartment — I'm so glad I invested in these. They are really soft and while I still have to kick off the sheets few times throughout the night (as usual), I feel much cooler than normal, and I stayed dry! I really am able to sleep much better." —Vanessa

Promising review: "I was in the habit of rolling a cold can of soda on my forehead to help with tension headaches and sinus pain but that was cumbersome and not always cold enough. This ice roller works so well to ease the pain from sinuses and tension. It froze very quick and I felt instant relief. The rolling motion even cleared my sinuses and I could breathe better right away. I love this. Would highly recommend." —DT

Promising review: "I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." —Ben

Promising review: "This is the perfect sleep mask — pressure on eyes is comfortable and not overbearing. It'll block out all light. The nose zone doesn't obstruct or cause discomfort. It cools in the freezer fast. Two-hour freeze and putting this on is like a dive into cold water. Chilling it in the refrigerator instead of a freezer is excellent! Sleeping with it on is easy, and it doesn't shift. You get a 360 cooling effect. Yep, wipe out a headache or a hot night. Genius!" —C. A. Yeager

Promising review: "I’m always hot and my boyfriend is always cold so I thought I’d try this out after reading a lot of good reviews and now I’m here to add to that list. We just got ours yesterday, so last night was the first time using it and we both were very impressed! I usually wake up multiple times in the middle of the night sweating but I didn’t wake up once! 10/10 recommended for people who have different sleep temps than their significant other!" —Cassie Wheeler

Promising review: "Purchased these for my studio, which is in an old mill. I wanted them for their insulating properties more than to block out the light because my studio loses a lot of heat at night due to its enormous windows. The curtains/drapes work great for both — I am especially pleased with how well they help keep the space from losing heat! Before having the curtains, the space would lose about 8 degrees in temperature overnight (which in the winter is a significant amount, especially in the northeast). Now, with the curtains, the space no longer loses heat overnight! It is now so nice to go into my studio in the morning and find it still toasty warm!" —Noname

Promising review: "So easy to set up as long as you have the correct wires. It looks good hanging on the wall too. I had a hard time deciding on the Nest or the Lyric and I'm happy I went with the Nest. It really learns and programs your AC or heat based on how often you are home or your sleep schedule. You can always change the schedule if you're not quite happy with it and it will learn that as well. I rarely have to touch it. It knows I like it cooler at night for sleeping and I like how it warms the house up before I get up." —Nathan W.

Promising review: "I was really miserable from the beginning to the end of my pregnancy. This pillow was literally the only thing that made me comfortable. I even brought it with me to the hospital when I got induced. This pillow is probably what allowed me to keep working up until the day I had her because I couldn't get any sleep without it. One of the great things about it is it stays cool, so if you're super hot all the time like I was, you won't have to keep adjusting it to the cooler parts. Now that my daughter is here I've used the end of it like a boppy and it works great (particularly for night feedings). I also still like to sleep with it. I would absolutely buy it again." —KatieTop
Get it from Amazon for $61.71+ (available in four colors).
Promising review: "I had a different mattress cover before and I never got that nice crisp feeling in my sheets so I thought it may be from the mattress cover I originally bought. I got this one that had many reviews saying it had a cooling effect and YES it does. I get in my sheets and they’re so much cooler! Also, the cover gives a nice added cushioning." —E. Shaughnessy
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in twin- California king and in three colors).
Promising review: "I had to buy a new mattress topper and was looking for a great quality one that wasn’t that expensive. It’s winter here so, yes our heating is on. I started sweating and sort of sticking to the bed out of nowhere. I have never done that before. So I put a blanket under me which helped with the stickiness but worsened the sweating problem. So I ordered this one and now I sleep comfortably. No sweating or stickiness. Just careful with liquids. It’s foam and sucks it up and takes a while to dry. That might not be obvious for some people. Five stars, would recommend." —Teresa Benson

Promising review: "I ordered the Breeze Comforter because my boyfriend is a really hot sleeper and I wanted a solution. This comforter has blown me away! We live in Atlanta so our summers are really, really hot but this comforter has changed everything. It's soft to the touch and still keeps us warm but is also cold to the touch. We're calling it out magic comforter. Thanks, Buffy! :)" —Anna M.

Promising review: "I put this in my bedroom to help with sinus congestion. This thing is powerful. I cranked it up to high and woke up to 58% humidity, which makes you wake up feeling like you inhaled water. Turned it to low and got 49%, which ended up being about perfect. It can run for about three or four nights on low, and the oil diffuser works well if you put enough oil in it. I wake up feeling the least congested in the 48–50% range." —Amazon Customer

A sleek, minimalist air conditioning unit with a dual filtration system? Yup, there's a start-up for that. Designed in New York City, Windmill makes easy-to-install, good-looking AC units that thrive in city apartments. It comes with a remote but is also voice-enabled and can run on an app you can control with your phone.
Promising review: “We had a very old window AC unit in our bedroom and when that broke down we decided to replace with a Windmill. I was worried whether we would be able to install it ourselves but it was super easy and we did it, and got it up and running in no time. Not only does it look super cool (much better than any other AC unit that I've seen), but it runs very quietly which has helped us sleep better at night. The tech and app make it user friendly and very easy to operate. It's so good I just ordered a second Windmill for our other bedroom!" —Anthony
