The all-time best sleep products of 2026, according to editors who love good sleep

In 2026, we vow to catch up on sleep (using all of our favorite products and essentials, of course).

If you’re hitting the widely recommended eight hours of sleep per night, you’re spending one-third of your lifetime in bed. So, the New York Post vows to keep that precious and much-spent time in the coziest, plushest, and dreamiest way possible — with all the best sleep products to support your ZZZs.

No, you don’t necessarily have to grab a $5,000 mattress or an expensive weighted blanket that makes you wonder if it was knit with Egyptian gold. Our curated selection of products has been tried and true among our team — some tested for years, even — and ones we wholly recommend.

Below, find the only edit you’ll need to sleep better than ever. You’ll find an assortment of bed sheets (including cooling sheets), comforters and duvets, pajamas, accessories (including sleep masks), and even night creams and CBD. Because, let’s face it, it’s called *beauty rest* for a reason.

Best Mattress: Casper Original Mattress

Casper

The Casper Original Mattress is a sleeper of choice for commerce writer and content strategist, Victoria Giardinia. She appreciates the fact that the Casper Original is exceptionally supportive and doesn’t sag as much as other mattresses she’s tested.

New York Post Review: “As a full-time product reviewer, I knew it was time to test out another brand even though I didn’t want to let this one go. It’s now my four-year-old niece’s ‘big girl bed’ once she upgrades out of her transitional crib. What I loved most about this mattress was its low-profile design. In fact, I wrote an entire review of the mattress, formerly known as the “Element Pro,’ so you can learn more (and buy it).”

Best White Noise Machine: Housbay White Noise Machine with 31 Soothing Sounds

Amazon

A sound machine probably sounds like a no-brainer for people with tinnitus or those who struggle to fall asleep at night. But, one of our writers swears it’s also helped her daughter with sleep training.

New York Post Review: “I went through various products trying to get my daughter to sleep through the night — swaddles, sleep trackers, sunrise alarms… nothing seemed to have much of an impact,” explained commerce writer, Miska Salemann. “However, I did purchase a cheap sound machine and found that the soothing sounds helped her (and me, for that matter) wind down a bit at night. At under $30, I think it’s a pretty wise investment.”

Best Pillow Case: Kitsch Satin Pillowcase

Amazon

If you’re eager to sleep better but not ready to jump the gun on a brand-new mattress or pillow, a satin pillowcase is a great place to start. It might just help clear up your skin and strengthen your hair, too.

New York Post Review: “This is hands-down the most luxurious satin pillowcase you can get on a budget. After using mine for over a year, I can confirm there truly is a noticeable difference in my hair and skin. Not only is it soft and cooling while you sleep, but it’s held up so well with every wash that I had to buy my fiance one to match.” — Meaghan Roche, senior manager, commerce SEO

Best Slippers: Parlovable Women’s Cross-Band Slippers

Amazon

The number of times Giardinia has recommended the Parlovable Women’s Cross-Band Slippers is probably close to 100. Maybe more, even. But, that’s a testament to how *good* they are.

New York Post Review: “I’ve gotten everyone hooked to this top-rated Amazon pair, much ado to the fact that they’re plush soft but, because they’re open at the toe, they’re extremely breathable. Plus, other colors are available for less than $25, and you won’t find me parading in anything else around my house.” — Giardina

Best Sleep Supplement: Timebeam Reset Mode Healthy Pixie

Timebeam

If you’re searching for an alternative to melatonin, the Timebeam Beauty Reset Mode supplement is a solid choice. This tary-cherry flavored powder combines key ingredients that support sleep and skin longevity: ceramides, reservatol, magnesium, L-thenaine, and more. According to the Commece reporer, Miska Salemann, it also mixes easily and tastes mildly sweet (less tart than you would expect. It’s turned into her nightly ritual.

New York Post Review: I’m picky when it comes to sleep supplements, but this one checks a lot of my boxes. It includes several ingredients I always look for — like magnesium and L-theanine for sleep — plus added nutrients that support skin health, making it feel like a bit of a two-for-one. While I haven’t noticed major changes in my skin yet, it has definitely helped my sleep. On nights I take it, my sleep score almost always improves. I usually feel the effects within about 30 minutes and wake up with zero grogginess. — Salemann

---

Best Alarm Clock: Hatch Restore 3

Hatch

Annoying, buzzing alarms are a thing of the past. Now, we can wake up gently with a bedside light like Hatch. Our Page Six Commerce Reporter swears by it for syncing up her sleep schedule.

New York Post Review: “I just started using this alarm clock-bedside light combo, and I’m already obsessed. It’s my mission to stop using (and snoozing) multiple alarms every morning, and Hatch’s gradual sunrise effect and soothing sounds have made getting out of bed that much easier. Plus, the modern-yet-minimalist design looks great on a bedside table.” — Hannah Southwick, Page Six commerce writer

Best Heated Pillow: Bearaby Calmer Heated Neck Wrap Pillow

Bearaby

Though not a ‘body pillow’ per se, the Bearaby Calmer Heated Neck Wrap Pillow is *for use on your body,* and that counts, right?

New York Post Review: “From sitting at a desk during the work week to working out, I find my neck to be one of the areas of my body I need to really provide some solitude to. And, this magical less-than-$75 support system is everything. It comes in a variety of colors and can be positioned with both ends vertically, or you can opt to slightly crisscross the ends. Whichever way you slice it (or rather, style it), you’ll thank me later.” — Giardina

---

Best CBD Gummies: TribeTokes CBD + CBN Sleep Gummies 

TribeTokes

Need something a bit stronger to wind down at night? TribeTokes CBD gummies have been described as “the perfect dose” — especially for stress relief and sleep. We decided to put them to the test firsthand to find out for ourselves.

New York Post Review: “If you’re looking for an effective way to fall asleep faster, I highly suggest investing in a good CBD product,” suggested Salemann. “Most people suspect that a completely THC-free option may not be as effective as full-spectrum CBD, but I was beyond impressed with how much these gummies helped me wind down at night. I’d strongly suggest them for anyone who regularly feels body or mind tension — you’ll quickly swap that sensation for full-body relaxation. They’re the perfect dose, indeed.”

Best Cooling Sheets: Olive and Crate Eucalyptus TENCEL Fiber Sheet Set

Olive and Crate

Giardinia has run through the gamut of cooling sheets after testing them for months on end, and the Olive and Crate Eucalyptus TENCEL Fiber Sheet Set are the exact ones she rated ‘best overall.’ Namely, the brand is the most consistent in terms of cooling temperature, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties.

New York Post Review: “Additionally, you’ll find a suite of fun colors and love its luxurious feel. Once again, you sleep for a third of your life, and life is simply too short *not* to have good, breathable sheets.” — Giardina

Best Humidifier: Frida Baby 3-in-1 Cool Mist Humidifier for Baby with Diffuser Nightlight

Amazon

A humidifier might not be the most obvious product for improving sleep, but one of our Post Wanted parents says it’s key to helping his son fall asleep at night.

New York Post Review: “There’s no magic trick for getting a baby to sleep. We did a ton of sleep training and ultimately got really lucky that our son tires himself out and sleeps well (he’s never not moving during the day!),” explained Commerce Partnerships Manager, Ryan Murphy. But, there is one thing he does swear by: “We have a humidifier on almost every night just to make sure it’s not too dry in his room.”

Best Supportive Pillow: Coop Sleep Goods The Eden Bed Pillow

Coop Sleep Goods

Everyone wants a plush pillow, but neck support shouldn’t be sacrificed. Fortunately, one of our editors has found one that delivers softness and cradles your head at the same time.

New York Poat Review: “I love the instant comfort of a plush pillow, but too much plush for a side sleeper like me can have the opposite effect by the morning. After testing close to 25 pillows in one year, I found that The Eden adjustable pillow not only supports my head and neck but allows me that cloud-like feeling throughout the night.” — Kendall Cornish, commerce writer/editor

Best Smart Bed: Sleep Number c2 Smart Bed Mattress

Sleep Number

Those ready to upgrade their bed must consider investing in a smart mattress — something that is customizable to suit your sleep type and preferences.

New York Post Review: “I recently started sleeping on the Sleep Number c2 Smart Bed Mattress — my room’s latest addition — and have to say, it truly allows me to sleep how I want to,” shared Giardinia. “At first, I was a bit skeptical of this model (thinking it would be more akin to an air mattress due to its lack of cushioned support foam) but it’s the opposite; in fact, I love using the paired app to adjust the elevation and firmness levels.” — Giardina

---

Best Weighted Blanket: Nuzzie Knit Weighted Blanket

Nuzzie

Among all of the weighted blankets we’ve recently tested, the Nuzzie Knit Weighted Blanket is a true gem. It’s available in a variety of colors and sizes, so you can find something perfect for your space.

New York Post Review: “Unlike other options on the market, this one is as soft as a plush blanket with just a bit of density. For that reason, I love snuggling with it and reading on my sectional sofa in the evenings. Plus, it makes a great gift (and my family members want to steal it from me).” — Giardina

Best Lip Mask: LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask

Amazon

Ah, we’ve arrived at the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask. If we’re being honest here, it’s the lip mask that truly broke the internet and is probably a skincare case study in the product development world for its viral nature. Giardinia uses it before bedtime every now and then, and has some thoughts:

New York Post Review: “Allow me to explain – when I apply this product to my lips throughout the day, I find myself constantly reapplying it every hour or so. The solution? Enjoy its subtly pink-tinted nature as a one-time swipe before catching those ZZZs, and voilà, it’s now worth the $24. And, spoiler alert: I recommend the brand’s Lip Glowy Balm ($19) a smidge more. Though not a mask per se, it’s a bit more versatile for daily use, aside from overnight application.” — Giardina

---

Best Down Alternative Pillow: Downlite Bedding Hotel-Style Down Alternative Bed Pillow

Downlite Bedding

You never know what a good pillow is like until you’ve been sleeping on a crummy one and then switch to one that’s life-changing. That’s what happened to Giardinia with the Downlite Bedding Hotel-Style Down Alternative Bed Pillow, and she hasn’t turned back since.

New York Post Review: “It boasts Goldilocks firmness (not too soft and not too firm), though it leans a smidge more on the soft side. Each time I sleep, my neck now feels supported.” — Giardina

---

Best Sleep Mask: FRESHME 100% Handmade Cotton Sleep Mask

Amazon

The best trick to getting some shut-eye ASAP? A super sleek sleep mask, according to our editors. This one does the trick for less than $30.

New York Post Review: “Extremely soft and washable, this eye mask has such high coverage that moving around doesn’t even let in a whisper of light. Because the back has a velcro connection (that has never bothered my hair because it’s quite thin), I can make it tighter for a “weighted” eye mask effect. I gift these to everyone who stays at my home and get more compliments from them than any of my decor.” — Cornish

Best Bamboo Pajamas: Cozy Earth Short-Sleeve Stretch-Knit Bamboo Pajama Set

Cozy Earth

Meet one of Oprah’s Favorite Things: Cozy Earth, the brand that’s known for its marshmallow-soft, luxury-grade fabrics and adoring fit. Namely, its Short-Sleeve Stretch-Knit Bamboo Pajama Set is a worthwhile investment, much ado to its lovely shades, quality bamboo viscose material (that helps prevent night sweats), and drape-style silhouette that we can’t help but love.

New York Post Review: “The Cozy Earth bamboo viscose is unmatched,” stated Salemann. “I have the longer pants and top set, and as someone who runs hot at night, I can confirm that these pajamas knocked their temperature-regulating properties out of the park. I rarely get a night sweat. I also love the fact that Cozy Earth regularly comes out with new colorways, so you can always up your bedtime style. While the fabric does exhibit a bit of wrinkling after a few wears, it washes beautifully. “

Best Down Alternative Comforter: Bedsure Comforter Set

Amazon

Bedsure’s comforters do not disappoint. While they may not have that expensive goose-down feeling, they do feel great on the wallet — and they’re designed with a unique brushing technique that makes the shell of the comforter quite soft and attractive.

New York Post Review: “The premium microfiber filling is not quite as weightless as the true down fillings, but it’s still exceptionally cozy and I hardly experienced any clumping when I put this comforter in a duvet. Everything fell flat with a few shakes and stayed that way all night long,” added Salemann. “For someone looking for an unfussy, straightforward, and all-around reliable comforter, we’d go with Bedsure in a heartbeat. You’ll save hundreds and still achieve restful sleep.”

Best Hand Cream: L’Occitane Shea Hand Cream

Amazon

Having a little hand cream on your nightstand can go a long way, per our writers. The L’Occitane Shea Hand Cream is among the best we’ve tried.

New York Post Review: “I wasn’t a hand cream user until I reviewed the lion’s share of them (side note: that product review worked miracles on my chapped hands) and there’s none like the L’Occitane Shea Hand Cream. It’s a splurge, don’t get me wrong, but it now lives on my nightstand and never leaves. I apply it each night before bed — my favorite ritual as of late.” — Giardina

---

Best Robe: Cozy Earth Luxe Bath Robe

Cozy Earth

Nothing says getting ready for bed like a shot bath and warm robe waiting for you. Cozy Earth has just the solution — a luxe bathrobe that feels like something you’d find at the Four Seasons.

New York Post Review: “Leave it to this robe to literally put the cozy in Cozy Earth,” said Salemann. “The Luxe Bathrobe brings together a blend of cotton and bamboo viscose that envelopes the body in immediate warmth. I love to jump into it after a shower or bath while I’m getting ready. The front-facing pockets offer enough space for my phone (I often lose it while looking for an outfit) and the tie-waist belt keeps everything in place — so you don’t have to fear losing your robe when in a rut.

---

Best Temperature-Regulating Sheets: Sleep Number True Temp Sheet Set

Sleep Number

Staying at the right temperature at night can be tricky, especially with seasonal changes. We highly recommend looking for a set of sheets with temperature-regulation properties.

New York Post Review: “Because I have a Sleep Number mattress, I simply had to try out the brand’s True Temp Sheet Set. They’re another splurge worth making because they absorb excess heat to cool you throughout the night. Aside from how they feel, it also couldn’t be easier to set them onto your mattress. I’ve experienced many a bed sheet where the ends kept snagging off (you know the feeling) and these don’t because of their self-imposed fabric handle to surround the corners of your mattress. The feel, the design, everything is flawless.” — Giardina

---

Best Down Comforter: Brooklinen Down Comforter

Brooklinen

This comforter is made just for you — shoppers can select between three heat levels: light, all-season, and ultra-warm. For someone who prefers a lighter comforter (which is not all that typical), we truly appreciate having the flexibility to select what works best.

New York Post Review: “The design of this comforter is very impressive,” shared Salemann. “I adore this comforter — it’s soft, breathable, and in my experience, extremely friendly with sensitive skin. This type of material also washes very easily. My only negative remark is the sizing, which seems to be slightly off when paired with certain duvet covers. Some reviewers also seem to agree that this comforter is more on the narrow side, so depending on your duvet, it may not always stay in place.”

---

Best Sleep Spray: THISWORKS Deep Sleep Pillow Spray

Amazon

THISWORKS is simple: spray it directly onto your bed linen and pillow sheets before you snooze to help reset normal rest patterns. The potent formula combines lavender, vetiver, and camomile for an all-around soothing effect. See if this works yourself!

New York Post Review: “I kid you not when I say this spray has changed my bedtime routine! I am obsessed with the scent and it feels so nice knowing I do a small little thing for myself right before bed.” said our tester, Julia Remillard.

---

Best Cozy Blankets: Cozy Earth Bubble Cuddle Blanket

Cozy Earth

Bubble blanket, anyone? Cozy Earth has one and we can’t keep our eyes (or hands) off of it! It’s also worth mentioning that it’s undeniably stylish — so much so, that we can assume it will give your living room or bedroom an immediate makeover.

New York Post Review: “There’s nothing I wanted more than a comfy, cozy blanket to wrap up in, and the Cuddle Blanket is it,” shared Salemann. “This one has a bit of weight to it, which helps you relax and unwind after a long day. The Bubble Cuddle blanket also happens to come in a luxe, textured design that makes for a stunning living room centerpiece.”

---

Best Bamboo Sheets: Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set

Cozy Earth

Though a splurge, the Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set is an investment worth making. Imagine your favorite hotel sheets but just a bit softer and velveteen in feel. That’s what these sheets are right here.

New York Post Review: “Made from 100% premium viscose from bamboo, I love the bundle’s slightly oversized fit to give me some wiggle room at night (yes, I toss in turn at night — pray for my future husband). They’re some of the finest, most well-made sheets I’ve enjoyed sleeping with. Yes, they *actually* make me look forward to bedtime.” — Giardina

Southwick also loves these sheets. “After trying this soft, Oprah-loved fabric, I’ll never go back to my standard sheets again,” she says. “Designed to regulate temperature, the bamboo blend kept me cool through the summer and cozy through the winter.”

---

Best Night Cream: Mario Badescu Seaweed Night Cream

Amazon

There’s almost nothing Mario Badescu Seaweed Night Cream can’t do — from plumping to firming, hydrating, and nourishing. This oil-free product helps you fall asleep feeling fresh, so your skin wakes up looking bright and glowy.

New York Post Review: “Mario Badescu, oh how I love you. After receiving plenty of NYC facials at its salon (side note: you must try), the Seaweed Night Cream is what one of the estheticians recommended — and its creamy, easily absorbable consistency is the ideal situation to find yourself in before drifting off to sleep.” — Giardina

Eberjey

New York Post Review: “The eberjey Gisele Tencel Modal Long PJ Set is an exceptional luxe PJ set, and breathable at the same time,” noted Giardinia. “I always bring it with me on weekend trips because it makes me feel like royalty — as any evening two-piece should.
