Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification ensures bedding is free from harmful chemicals, promoting safer sleep environments.
At first glance, the faux fur treasures all look similar, but each has its own distinct perk. For instance, the Lola Blankets pick has a stretchy construction that's perfect for wrapping, while the Cozy Earth bubble blanket is the ultimate reading-in-bed accessory thanks to its heftier weight and tailored look. Since these are quite fluffy, I like to style my faux fur blankets in two ways, depending on my mood. For all-season decor, you can't go wrong draping it against woven upholstery.
When Matt Hillier was in his 20s, he went camping with a friend who was a nurse. In the morning she told him she had been shocked by the snoring coming from his tent. She basically said, For a 25-year-old non-smoker who's quite skinny, you snore pretty loudly,' says Hiller, now 32. The Guardian's journalism is independent.

He bought an acupressure mat made of lightly padded fabric, studded all over with tiny plastic spikes, to lay his back on, and was surprised to find that it actually helped. Acupressure mats, also known as Shakti mats, are inspired by the beds of nails that Indian gurus used for meditation and healing more than 1,000 years ago. While today's mats have the nonthreatening sheen of a luxury wellbeing product, the spikes are no joke.

Even though this falls in the down alternative pillow category, she says it's a worthwhile pick since it gives the type of support that'll help finicky side or back sleepers rest easy.

Have you ever struggled to find the perfect drink just before bed? Something like coffee or another caffeinated drink is usually out of the question. Likewise, you don't want a sugary drink if you just brushed your teeth. Cold water, and even room-temperature water, might be the standard, but you should consider the benefits of hot water if you've never tried it before. It can benefit you in more ways than you'd think.
I'll admit it upfront: I'm difficult when it comes to mattresses. My husband lovingly (and accurately) calls me the Princess and the Pea. I notice everything. Too firm? My hips complain. Too soft? My lower back stages a full protest. Too hot, too sink-y, not supportive enough; nothing escapes my attention. Chronic lower back pain will do that to you. Over the years, it's turned me into a real mattress snob with extremely strong opinions and very little patience.
