Leesa Legend Chill Hybrid Mattress (Queen) — Top Pick
Leesa deal price: $1,400 (use promo code WIRECUTTER, queen); street price: $2,000
What we like: Our top pick for the best springier hybrid mattress that still cradles. Medium firmness with some motion isolation. Quilted top loosely cradles your body. Over 3,000 pocketed coils. Fluffy and luxurious; one tester said they “felt like royalty.” Ideal for back- and side-sleepers.
Other things to know: Durable enough for folks over 200 pounds. Not an ultra-soft, plush mattress. Lifetime warranty. You can return it within 100 days for a refund, but you can only return once. Listed deal price is for the queen size, but our exclusive WIRECUTTER also works on king and Cal king sizes.

Alaska Bear Natural Silk Sleep Mask — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $9; street price: $10
What we like: Our top pick for the best flat silk sleep mask. Also great for travel and surviving daylight savings time. Effectively blocks out unwanted light. Adjustable straps. Silk lining. Good for folks who don’t want a contoured sleep mask.
Other things to know: Flat design may put pressure on the eyes. May slip off during the night. Hand-wash only. Street price has come down since last year.

Nidra Deep Rest Eye Mask — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $8; street price: $18
What we like: Our top pick for a structured, lightweight convex sleep mask. Fits comfortably and blocks light well for a wide variety of face shapes. Deep eyecups don’t press on eyelids during sleep, improving comfort. Adjustable strap secures a snug fit without snagging on hair.
Other things to know: Material isn’t as soft as our other picks. Doesn’t work for all faces. Best for side and back sleepers. Could get knocked off during restless sleep. Hand-wash only.

Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress (Queen) — Top Pick
Leesa deal price: $1,100 (use promo code WIRECUTTER, queen); street price: $1,500
What we like: Our longtime top pick for a foam-forward hybrid mattress with some bounce. Combines the best components of memory foam and innerspring mattresses. Four layers of CertiPUR-US-certified memory foam and over 1,000 springs. On the firmer end of medium-firm that’s good for all sleep positions that don’t prefer softer mattresses.
Other things to know: 11-inch mattress. 100-day trial period. For most folks, including those over 200 pounds, this mattress should hold up through its initial 10-year warranty period without sagging. Listed deal price is for the queen size, but our exclusive code WIRECUTTER also works on king and Cal king sizes.

Saatva Classic Mattress (Queen, Luxury Firm) — Top Pick
Saatva deal price: $1,290 (queen, luxury firm); street price: $1,650
What we like: Our top plush innerspring mattress pick with some bounce. The most affordable option we’ve tried that still looks and feels luxurious. Appeals to those who want to nestle in, as opposed to feeling engulfed. Classic innerspring bounce with a cushy yet understated three-inch Euro top.
Other things to know: Not the best motion isolation. Comes in thicknesses of 11½ and 14½ inches. Lifetime warranty, and you have 365 nights to try it. Deal price is for all sizes in our recommended Luxury Firm comfort level; it’s $40 higher than our July deal due to an overall price increase.

Leesa Original Mattress (Queen) — Top Pick
Leesa deal price: $849 (use promo code WIRECUTTER, queen); street price: $1,000
What we like: Our top memory foam mattress pick for a controlled sink. Combines the gentle cradle of classic memory foam with a firmness that doesn’t hamper movement. Good pressure relief. Supportive for both back- and side-sleepers. Three layers of CertiPUR-US-certified memory foam.
Other things to know: If you like a softer mattress, this probably isn’t for you. Little edge support. No classic memory-foam feel. Due to its relatively low foam densities, we don’t recommend it for people who weigh over 200 pounds. 100-day trial period. Lifetime warranty. Listed deal price is for the queen size, but our exclusive code WIRECUTTER also works on the king and Cal king sizes.

Brooklyn Bedding 3-Inch Talalay Latex Mattress Topper (Queen) — Top Pick
Brooklyn Bedding deal price: $319 (use promo code WIRECUTTER53); street price: $680
What we like: Our top latex mattress topper pick. Provides good support and pressure-point relief. Squishy, structured, cradling feel — you rest on top of it, rather than being enveloped by it. Ideal for hot sleepers. Comes with a breathable, removable zippered cotton cover.
Other things to know: Squishy, jiggly feel can be polarizing. Latex odor takes a little while to dissipate. Lacks corner straps, and may shift. Like all latex bedding, it’s pricey. Three-year warranty. Street price has risen, and so have deal prices. Get the deal on the queen size with code WIRECUTTER53.

Rest Evercool Cooling Comforter Blanket (Full/Queen) — Another Good Option
Amazon deal price: $152; street price: $230
What we like: Another good blanket if you want one that feels like the cool side of the pillow. Made of Tencel fabric shell sandwiched around a layer of Sorona fill on the inside. The best cooling bedding we’ve tested so far.
Other things to know: Very thin and slippery; challenging to use as a top layer on the bed, and hard to share with another person. Not as breathable as our picks made with cotton or linen, and it’s dense. We’ve seen for as low as $126 during Prime Day in July, but we haven’t seen a deal approaching that price since.

DreamSky Compact Digital Alarm Clock — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $14 (deal on white); street price: $16
Amazon deal price: $13 (deal on black with white digits); street price: $16
What we like: Our top pick for the best budget digital alarm clock with a large face. The largest numerical display of all the options we tested. Intuitive to set the time, with clearly labeled buttons. Two USB ports to charge most mobile devices and to power the clock.
Other things to know: Two backup AAA batteries only maintain time and alarm settings during power outages. Looks and feels as cheap as it is — the logo emblazoned at the top (underneath the snooze button) is downright ugly. Recurring deal for the white color.

Lying Flat Duck Night Light — Gift Pick
Amazon deal price: $14; street price: $16
What we like: A gift pick that brightens even the most mundane moments. This surprisingly squishy duck light doesn’t just illuminate a dark room; it also serves as a disaffected desktop companion. Flexible orange legs can prop up a tablet or phone.
Other things to know: At Wirecutter HQ, we’ve dubbed this fella the “existential-crisis duck light.” Three brightness levels. USB-rechargeable battery. Made from plastic and silica gel.

Natori Shangri-La Robe — Top Pick
Natori deal price: $58 (use promo code WIRECUTTER2025); street price: $78
What we like: Our top pick for the best stylish and lightweight women’s jersey robe. Buttery soft. Slinky, curve-skimming fabric feels cool and soft on the skin, like a luxe T-shirt. Generous and flattering fit, with in-seam pockets and ¾-length sleeves. Looks effortlessly put together.
Other things to know: Jersey fabric clings to the body and may be too form-fitting for some. Slight shrinking after wash (about 4%), but that didn’t affect the wrap coverage or generous fit. Sizes XS-3X. On sale in dark gray, red, blue, and blush with code WIRECUTTER2025.

L.L.Bean deal price: $400 (use promo code INVITED15, queen); street price: $470
What we like: A great goose-down comforter that’s almost as nice as our luxurious Feathered Friends top pick. A former top pick, and next to the Feathered Friends, the best one we’ve ever tried. We still think it’s well worth the investment.
Other things to know: A former top pick, but it’s often sold out. Listed deal price is for the queen, but promo code INVITED15 works on all sizes.

L.L.Bean deal price: $84 (use promo code INVITED15); street price: $99
What we like: Our flannel duvet cover top pick.
