The 2025 Men’s Health Sleep Awards

You know the pillow that pancakes by 3 a.m. and leaves your neck wrecked? The Purple GridCloud doesn’t. Its honeycomb-like gel flexes under pressure, then springs back to keep your head cushioned and supported all night. The open grid lets air move through, so you don’t wake up sweaty.

Your sleep style isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is the Tempur-Adapt ProAdjust. It’s packed with the brand’s pressure-relieving memory foam, but the real win is the adjustable design. You can tweak the loft to fit your sleep style, so your neck and shoulders stay aligned all night. Add in a cool-to-the-touch cover, and you’ve got a pillow that feels custom-built for you.

Think of it as a sleep buddy that never hogs the covers. The down-alternative fill gives support from shoulder to knee and stays plump for months. One side has a cooling fabric to keep night sweats in check; flip it for a softer, sweatshirt-like feel when you want to snuggle in. The cover is machine-washable, so there’s no gross buildup over time.

Even if you’re crammed in coach, the AirJustable Travel Pillow makes it easier to sleep. It pumps up to the firmness you want, locks in place with a cinch cord, and cushions your head with a layer of memory foam. Translation: no more sore necks after red-eye flights.

Forget flipping to the cool side. The Rest Evercool Pillow stays chill all night thanks to a silicone-sponge core with millions of pores that release heat and pull in airflow. And unlike most synthetic pillows, it’s machine-washable, so sweat and grime don’t stick around.

The Sleep Number True Temp is basically a five-star-hotel pillow you can actually take home. The cover feels cool the second your head hits it, and the proprietary foam fill adjusts so it’s never too flat or too firm. Plush on top, supportive underneath, it turns every night into a vacation.

If you crash on your side or back, a flat pillow wrecks your neck. The Simba Hybrid Firm fixes that with mini foam cubes that flex when you sink in and push back to keep your head supported. The result: the loft and solid support side sleepers need, with just enough cushion on top to keep it comfortable.

Can’t decide between memory foam or springs? The CopperFlex Pro gives you both. The foam on top is soft but stays cool thanks to copper, and the coils underneath keep it from sagging. Medium-firm and sturdy, it’s perfect for guys who sprawl on their sides, backs, or somewhere in between.

If you always wake up sweaty while your partner runs hot, this bed evens things out. The ClimateCool lets you drop the temperature by up to 15 degrees on either side using the Sleep Number app. You can also adjust firmness separately, so you both get the feel you want without fighting over one mattress.

If you’ve got the funds to really deck out your bed, the Reserve is worth it. The cover has moisture-wicking fibers to keep sweat off your skin, while its cushioning molds to your body way better than standard memory foam so your shoulders and hips don’t ache. Underneath, high-density coils add airflow and keep the mattress from sagging at the sides, giving you cooler, more consistent comfort every night.

The Sealy Posturepedic Plus Hybrid literally has your back. It mixes cushy foams and zoned coils that hold up your lower spine while letting your shoulders and hips sink just enough so they don’t take all the pressure. Reinforced sides keep the mattress from collapsing when you sit on the edge, and you still get less motion transfer when your partner shifts. A solid pick for back and side sleepers.

The Bear Natural ditches sketchy foams for organic cotton and latex, so there’s no funky “new mattress” smell when you unbox it. Add in coils that comfortably hold up your back and a breathable build that keeps you from overheating, and you’ve got an eco-conscious bed that’s sturdy, supportive, and comfortable.

Most memory foam beds run hot and eventually sag. Not so with the Nectar Ultra. Its layers stay cooler through the night, and the high-density build holds up longer without losing support. The ergonomic support layer ease hips and shoulders, and its 365-night trial means you can literally sleep on it for a year before committing.

The Zinus Ultra Cooling uses gel-infused foam, ventilation zones, and a cooling cover to keep heat from building up. Green tea extract helps the mattress stay fresher longer, while the cushioning relieves pressure at your shoulders and hips. It’s an affordable pick that feels way pricier than it is.

Back and stomach sleepers rejoice: Purple’s Rejuvenate has a gel grid design that cushions shoulders and hips without sagging, backed by a coil base that keeps your spine aligned. It’s firm but cushioned, so you don’t feel like you’re sleeping on concrete. The open grid also boosts airflow, making it a win for hot sleepers.

The Saatva Down Comforter feels light on your body but still keeps you warm, thanks to breathable cotton and evenly spread down fill. Stitched boxes keep the down from shifting, so you don’t end up with lumpy corners, and you can toss it in the wash instead of hauling it to the dry cleaner.

Silk pillowcases usually cost a fortune, but this one doesn’t. You get genuine mulberry silk that feels cool and smooth, cuts down on bedhead, and doesn’t suck the moisture out of your skin like cotton does—all without the luxury price tag.

Quince is where guys go for affordable-yet-expensive-looking menswear, and its new bedding line works the same way. These Egyptian cotton sheets are softer, smoother, and sturdier than the standard sets you’ve been sleeping on.

Cheap mattress protectors feel like a tarp under your sheets. This one’s different: Soft eucalyptus fibers wick away sweat, and a waterproof layer blocks spills without the plastic crunch. It’s quiet, machine-washable, and actually comfortable to sleep on.

Expensive bed sheets shouldn’t feel stiff out of the box. The Citizenry’s percale weave is crisp and cool like a five-star hotel bed, but stonewashing breaks it in so it’s soft from night one. Made with long-staple organic cotton, the fibers are stronger and smoother, which means less pilling and sheets that last years instead of months.

Bad weighted blankets feel like sleeping under a winter coat. Not this one. The cooling lyocell cover pulls heat and sweat off your body, while glass beads spread the weight evenly so you get that calming, hugged feeling without overheating. You can pick from 15 or 20 pounds, depending on how much pressure you like.

This blanket pulls double duty: On the bed, it makes your setup look more grown-up, and on the couch, it’s the one you’ll grab for a nap. The cotton crochet weave feels cozy without bulk and unlike cheap throws, it won’t shrink or warp after a wash.

If your bed feels too flat or worn out, this mattress topper is a cost-effective way to bring it back to life. The cooling cover pulls heat off your body, while the memory foam eases pressure on your shoulders and hips. And with a 100-night trial, you only keep it if it really makes a difference.

Hot sleepers, linen’s the fix. These sheets are woven from European flax, which breathes better than cotton and softens with every wash. They’re also prewashed, so they feel broken in from the very first night.

This throw uses moisture-wicking fibers that pull heat and sweat away instead of trapping it. You stay cool while still getting the cozy feel you want from a blanket. Lightweight and machine-washable, it’s one you’ll use all year.

Our favorite sound machine just got even better. Bigger buttons mean no more fumbling for your phone at 2 a.m., the sunrise alarm is brighter so winter mornings feel less brutal, and new sleep sounds—like rain, waves, or classic white noise—give you more ways to wind down.

This air purifier doubles as a sound machine—and excels at both. The Sprout’s HEPA filter pulls dust, pollen, and smoke out of the air while running as quiet as 22 decibels (basically a whisper). Built-in soundscapes help drown out city noise, and the dimmable night-light sets the room for sleep.

Gen 3 set the bar for wearable sleep trackers, and the Oura Ring 4 raises it. This ring packs 18 sensors (vs. 8 before) into a sleeker design that feels smoother on your finger, so it’s more comfortable overnight. The result: sharper insights into your deep sleep, REM, and recovery without strapping on a clunky smartwatch.

This humidifier is made for brutal winters. The big one-gallon tank runs all night, the simple knob lets you aim the mist where you want it, and it runs whisper-quiet so it won’t mess with your sleep. UV light keeps the water clean, which means less scrubbing and more snoozing.

Snoring partner? Loud neighbors? Loop Dream cuts noise by up to 27 decibels, so you can sleep through the racket without feeling totally sealed off. The soft tips fit snugly and stay put when you roll over, making them way more comfortable than cheap foam plugs.

Cooling mattress covers usually cost a fortune, but the Dock Pro delivers the same chill for less. Now that it’s HSA-eligible, you can even use pre-tax dollars to buy it. Water channels flow through the pad to heat or cool each side from 55 to 115 degrees, so you and your partner can finally stop fighting over the thermostat.

This app uses NASA-funded research and pro-athlete data to build a custom plan for beating jet lag or handling night shifts. It factors in your age, flights, or sleep habits, then pings you with real-time reminders on when to nap, drink coffee, or access light so your body adjusts faster.

Bedroom sets usually scream “Grandma’s guest room,” but the Nantucket brings bachelor-pad vibes. The platform bed, dresser, and nightstands come with clean wood paneling and brass accents that look sharp without being flashy. Built-in storage drawers and a no-box-spring design make it as functional as it is stylish.

The Tofino Dresser shows up fully assembled, so you don’t waste a Saturday wrestling with instructions. Made of solid oak, it’s strong enough to last for years and heavy in a good way (no wobble, no flimsy parts). The clean lines and natural finish look good with pretty much any setup, and the deep drawers hold a month’s worth of workout clothes.

The bed that blew up your IG feed just got better. Thuma’s Essential Bed now comes with an optional headboard and cushion, so your space looks less like a dorm. The clean wood design is solid and quiet, the tool-free setup takes minutes. It’s the easiest way to make your bedroom look grown-up.

The Duna Verde Nightstand is built from solid white oak, so it feels sturdy every time you toss down your phone or keys. Two smooth drawers stash chargers, books, and other clutter out of sight, while the clean finish works with any bedroom style. It ships fully assembled, so all you do is set it in place and plug in your lamp.

Park Sabai’s Eclipse Sofa in your office or living room. The cushions are deep and comfortable for game day, and when someone stays over, it pulls out into a legit queen bed. Choose from soft velvet, durable hemp, or recycled poly, all tough enough to handle spills while still looking sharp. Solidly built, it’s far classier than any futon.

Most custom beds take several months to make. The Happily Eva After is built in just a few weeks. You pick the fabric, color, and even the headboard height, then get a fully padded hardwood frame that’s solid and comfortable to lean against. It’s built with wooden slats, so you don’t need a box spring, and comes in standard or platform style depending on how sleek you want your setup.
