One of the few things we take more seriously than, well, shopping on the PEOPLE shopping team is sleep. So, it’s not by chance that we have strong opinions when it comes to our bedtime essentials.
In honor of Sleep Week, I tapped my fellow shopping experts (who have tested their fair share of sheets, pillows, and pajamas) for their top bedtime recommendations, so you can benefit from a better night’s sleep, too.
Our favorites include picks tailored to hot sleepers, heavy sleepers, insomniacs, and more, many of which are on sale during the week-long event.

Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows
$80 $60 at Amazon
“I finally decided to try these pillows after seeing them consistently ranked as the overall best-seller on Amazon — I can confidently say they live up to the hype. They're super-fluffy, yet firm enough that I feel supported as I sleep.” — Jennifer Maldonado, associate editorial director
Brooklinen Washed European Linen Core Sheet Set
$369 $295 at Brooklinen
“I tried Brooklinen's Washed European Linen Core Sheet set after they were sent to me, and wow, just wow. I'm a hot sleeper, and these are so light and breathable — no more waking up sweaty. They're super soft, cooling, and make my bed look beautiful.” — Jeaneen Russell, shopping writer
Eberjay Gisele Tencel Modal PJ Set
$158 at Eberjey.com
“These pajamas make me feel like royalty; they're so soft and luxurious. I wish all of my clothes were made of this fabric, it's that irresistible — plus, the material is breathable and temperature-regulating, which, as a hot sleeper, lets me get a full night's rest (and keeps me sweat-free).” — Rylee Johnston, shopping writer
Hatch Restore 3 Sunrise Alarm Clock
$170 $145 at Amazon
“As a heavy sleeper, relying on my iPhone alarm has always felt like a gamble, so I'm happy to report that I haven't overslept once since I started using this Hatch Alarm Clock. The sunrise feature gently shakes me from sleep over the course of 30 minutes, which feels much less jarring than a traditional alarm.” — Maggie Horton, shopping writer

Nerrā The Body Wash Neroli Note
$36 $31 at Nordstrom
“I'm a night showerer, but unfortunately, many body washes are formulated with scents to 'wake you up.' That's why I'm obsessed with Nerrā's Neroli Note body wash. Its fragrance is calming yet unique, making it the perfect start to my nightly wind-down routine. I usually follow it with the brand's body oil, slip into my pjs, and then I'm ready to be shipped off to dreamland.” — Erin Johnson, editorial director
Cozy Earth Bamboo Rib-Knit Classic Long-Sleeve Pajama Set
$148 at Cozyearth.com
“I never thought a pajama set could top my love for Skims, but now that I've tried this option from Cozy Earth, it's safe to say there's a new sheriff in town. I love that its fabric feels a bit heavier than other sets I've tried without sacrificing softness — I feel like it will hold up so much better in the wash.” — Averi Baudler, shopping editor
Coop Home Goods The Original Pillow
$89 at Amazon
“I used to swear by down pillows, but they let me down (literally) over the years by falling flat with use. This shredded memory foam pillow changed my sleep, and now it's the only pillow I'll use. Thanks to its adjustable fill, it can suit every type of sleeper and every sleep position. I love how it manages to stay lofty and perfectly fluffed, yet it's sink-in soft when you rest your head on its surface.” — Heather Adams, senior editor
SleepPhones Wireless Sleep Headphones
$100 at Amazon
“My wife is a diva when it comes to sleep: She needs her side-sleeper pillow, her knee pillow, and these 'ear pajamas' to listen to ASMR videos. She's been using this model for more than a year with no complaints. Despite nightly use, they only need to be recharged about once a week at most, and they still look and feel like new after many trips through the washing machine.” — Clint Davis, shopping editor
Lola Blanket
$325 at Lolablankets.com
“Some products are viral just for viral's sake — this is not one of them. I love everything about this cozy blanket, from its generous size to its ultra-soft texture. I actually sleep with it more often than my comforter. I also constantly take it back and forth between my bed and my couch because I can't stand to part with it… sounds like I may need to pick up another one!” — Averi Baudler
The Purple Queen Mattress
$1,499 at Purple
“Purple makes several fancy mattresses, but I've had the brand's best-selling original mattress for about a year now, and it's truly top-notch.” — Erin Johnson
Pillow Cube Travel Cube
$70 at Pillowcube.com
“I've tried a handful of side-sleeper pillows over the years, and Pillow Cube's models are the only ones that I've stuck with. While the Side Cube (which I swear by) is currently sold out, I am also a big fan of their Travel Cube, which I've used on trips and at home. You'll look at its shape and think, 'There's no way this can be comfortable to sleep on,' but it really is. The unique material stays soft and cool all night.” — Clint Davis
