Best Bed Cooling System

BedJet 3

Calling hot sleepers! Unlike traditional cooling blankets, the Bed Jet 3 releases rapid air-based cooling, warming and sweat-drying comfort right between the sheets. It’s also the best bed cooling system we tested in 2024. According to former editor Stephanie Hope in her Bed Jet 3 review, the best part is the BedJet remote, which allows you to control the temperature by degree, adjust airflow settings, set an auto-shutoff and program biorhythm sleep temperatures. Now that’s a smart system!

Best Mattress

Saatva Classic Mattress

We’ve gone on at length about the luxurious support of the Saatva Classic Mattress in our review. As the best queen mattress, there’s a lot to love. According to former editor Madi Koetting, the Saatva classic mattress in luxury firm scores a five to seven on the firmness scale. This is the optimal balance of plush comfort and superior support, making it a true Goldilocks option for indecisive couples.

Best Cooling Blanket

Sleep Number True Temp Blanket

If the Bed Jet is a little pricey for you, the next best (and far less expensive) option is one of the best cooling blankets. I’ve personally used my Sleep Number True Temp blanket for a little less than a year now, and it’s still keeping me at the perfect temperature at night—even into the chillier months. Read this stuffy sleeper’s Sleep Number blanket review for the full scoop on this overall best winner.

Best Smart Bed System

Eight Sleep Pod Cover

A smart bed system is the pinnacle of luxury, and the Eight Sleep Pod Cover is the best in its class. In our review, we comb over all the bells and whistles of this temperature-controlling mattress cover. Among its tricks are sensors that track your sleep health by detecting your heart rate, time slept, respiratory rate, HRV, sleep stages and any disturbances to your sleep that occur throughout the night. We also tested the Eight Sleep mattress with great success.

Best Mattress Topper

Saatva Graphite Memory Foam Mattress Topper

The Saatva Graphite Memory Foam Mattress Topper offers eco-friendly materials, including CertiPur-US-certified, high-density memory foam. It also eliminated editor Mary Henn’s typical morning stiffness and backaches on the first night, making it one of the best mattress toppers for side sleepers.

Best Organic Mattress

Avocado Green Mattress

If renewable production and organic materials are important to you, the best non-toxic mattress is exactly when you need. The Avocado Green mattress, according to former editor Megan Wood, is handcrafted in Los Angeles using 100% certified organic materials such as wool, cotton and latex. They’re free of potentially toxic foams, chemical fire retardants and off-gassing materials. Read our full review for the scoop on this cozy and hazard-free option.

Best Comforter

Cozy Earth Bamboo Viscose Comforter

Cozy Earth doesn’t just make some of our favorite pajamas—they’re also responsible for the best lightweight comforter. The Cozy Earth Bamboo Viscose Comforter features an easy-to-swap duvet cover, is breathable, and features moisture-wicking materials. In our review of this cooling comforter, former senior editor Daria Smith notes that against the skin, the bamboo fabric is also exceptionally soft. Bonus!

Best Cooling Mattress

DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress

In our DreamCloud review, we discuss the seven luxurious layers that make this the best hybrid mattress we’ve tested. Thanks to its hybrid makeup, the DreamCloud mattress offers back pain relief, limited motion transfer and next to no heat retention. It’s also the ideal firmness for side, back and stomach sleepers alike.

Best Bed Sheets

Boll & Branch Percale Hemmed Sheet Set

The best cooling bed sheets are, by far, those from Boll and Branch. Between increased airflow and natural cooling properties of the organic cotton, winding down is like sleeping in a luxury hotel night after night. Even senior editor Katie is impressed with them, noting that they easily slip over her rather deep mattress.

Best Pajamas

Cozy Earth Bamboo PJ Set

OK, it’s not bedding … but what what you wear to sleep matters, too! When it comes to finding the best pajamas, we decided that Cozy Earth takes the crown? In our Cozy Earth Pajamas review, three of our former editors tried out these silky soft viscose bamboo PJs. Each reports that these are the most comfy, breathable pajamas they’ve ever snuggled up in.
