From mouth taping to the quirky potato bed trend, people seem willing to try anything to improve their sleep.
And at the Filter US, we’re on a mission to help our readers not only get more sleep, but better sleep. Over the past few months, we’ve tried 24 sleep masks, recommended the very best pillows and even asked sleep psychologists for their holy grail products.
Investing in your sleep doesn’t come cheap. Thankfully, this is a big week for our favorite snooze-friendly products. From 8 March to 15 March, many of our most-loved brands are participating in sleep awareness week, created by the National Sleep Foundation for “sleep awareness”. They are offering discounts on items from mattresses to pillows – and some are even on sale until the end of the month.
Below, we’ve sifted through the deals to find 11 of the best items that we personally use and love, including an affordable mattress now 20% off and the internet’s favorite way to wake up.

This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray
Helix Dusk Mattress
“You spend a third of your life laying down, so a bad mattress can aggravate [injuries] or create new ones,” one of our sleep experts said.
If you’re on the market for a new one, Drew Ackerman, creator and host of the Sleep With Me podcast, recommended to us this foam mattress for getting a quality night of rest. The mattress is designed with Helix’s dynamic foam, which contours to your body.
While it originally retails for over $1,300, it’s now on sale for 25% off.

Ozlo Sleep Buds
Whether your next-door neighbors are known to throw late-night parties or if you’re just looking to block out the sound of your partner’s snores, we recommend investing in a pair of earbuds.
Aric Prather, a sleep psychologist, personally uses these from Ozlo, which boast an in-ear alarm clock and biometric sensors.

Kori Perten, a contributor for the Filter US, bought Coop’s cult-favorite pillow nearly five years ago, and she has been a loyal fan ever since. Even after testing three other popular pillow brands, she returned to this one.
She wrote: “Flat but not too flat, soft but not overly squishy. I have spent the nights since sleeping on my Coop pillow, my neck cradled in its soft, memory-foam-and-microfiber embrace.”

Our bedding doesn’t have to be as plain as the beige color scheme of a hotel room.
If you’re looking to spruce up your bedroom, this linen duvet cover from Bed Threads was another recommendation from our across-the-pond colleagues’ roundup of the best bedding brands.
“Its pure linen bedding comes in gorgeous, rich shades, giving that lived-in luxury feel that only gets softer over time,” said interior designer Jessica Horton.

After the internet made the Lola Blanket a viral hit, we sought out affordable alternatives.
We tested and declared this option from Bedsure – crafted from a similar ultra-plush material – a worthy dupe. It’s already one-third the price of the splurgy Lola Blanket, and the extra $18 sale price only sweetens the deal.
