While having a good mattress is paramount to a better night’s rest, there are plenty of other ways you can turn your bedroom into the perfect sleeping environment. Whether you’re looking for a new set of pillows or sheets or perhaps a weighted blanket, you may be able to find a quality product at a steep discount.

Plus, there are always sleep accessories like sunrise alarm clocks, sleep masks, and mattress cooling pads, and even appliances like humidifiers and air purifiers, to consider adding to your room.

Consumer Reports has tested all of these products, and we keep tabs on how much they cost so that we can help you find the best options and the best prices. Below you’ll find those that have excelled in our lab tests and home evaluations that are discounted right now.

Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Cloud Breeze Dual Cooling

Made of two layers of gel memory foam, Tempur-Pedic’s Tempur-Cloud Breeze Dual Cooling Pillow is the most expensive pillow we’ve tested. It’s top-notch when it comes to side-sleeper support, but only middling for back-sleeper support. In our resilience test, this pillow successfully maintained its shape. Despite having “breeze” in its name, the pillow doesn’t allow for much airflow, so you may get sweaty sleeping on it. Only the cover is machine-washable.

Why it’s a good deal: This is an impressive new low price, considering these pillows cost over $150 just a couple weeks ago.

Brooklyn Bedding Talalay Latex High Loft

The Talalay latex pillows from Brooklyn Bedding may be a good choice for side sleepers because they got above-average scores on that test. They’re a bit subpar for back sleepers, though. But these pillows got top marks for breathability, so they should help with temperature control while you sleep.

Why it’s a good deal: This is the standard discount for this pillow.

HIMOON Bed Pillows

This set of two microfiber pillows offers very good support for side sleepers, but it earns just middling scores in our back support tests. And its resilience is just so-so. But if you sleep on the warmer side, you can find comfort in knowing that this pillow has maximum breathability.

Why it’s a good deal: Pillows can be expensive, but this is a lower-cost option, especially with such a big discount.

Mellanni Brushed Microfiber 1800

Brushed microfiber isn’t as breathable as cotton, but if synthetic fibers aren’t a hang-up, this Mellanni sheet set is a top-notch pick. It offers a softer feel than most cotton options, it’s pretty resistant to wrinkling, and you can expect a great fit even after a year of laundering. You can also look forward to having this set in rotation for a while because it does pretty well in our strength test. The one area where these bedsheets miss the mark a bit is in our fit test. Though the packaging claims “deep pockets,” this set is best suited for mattresses with a depth of 10 inches or less.

Why it’s a good deal: With the on-page coupon, these sheets are just a few dollars more than they were during Prime Day. (Different colors and sizes may have varying prices, but most options are on sale.)

Brooklinen Luxe Core

This Brooklinen set will fit a 14-inch mattress (or shorter). Our testers note that these sheets don’t shrink as much as some other cotton sheets we tested. They earn above-average scores for both fit and shrinkage, which means that they do tend to get smaller during washes, but they don’t deform all that much over time. Luxe Core sheets are on the softer side, based on our sensory test. Labels along each side that read “short side” and “long side” make clear which way to make the bed.

Why it’s a good deal: While these sheets were $20 cheaper during last week’s sales, this is still a nice discount. If you can wait until Labor Day, however, you may be able to save even more.

Casper Comfy Mattress Topper

Our lab tests found that this Casper topper doesn’t allow users to sink in as deeply as you would with others. The dual-layer cushion combines a layer of softer foam over a firmer base-layer foam. At 20 pounds and 3 inches thick, this mattress topper isn’t easy to move around, but its machine-washable zip-off cover (made of polyester, cotton, rayon, and spandex) is easy to clean. However, this topper cannot be flipped. Casper offers a 30-night risk-free trial, and its toppers are backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

Why it’s a good deal: Casper products don’t go on sale often, and a 25 percent discount is laudable.

Luna Weighted Blanket

The cover of the Luna weighted blanket is cotton, and it’s filled with glass beads. It doesn’t come with a duvet cover, but you have several colors and materials to choose from if you’d like to buy one separately. Luna says you can wash the blanket in cold water on the gentle setting and hang it to dry or tumble-dry on low heat. A staffer who tried the Luna weighted blanket found it to be a solid choice for a budget-friendly price, but the material didn’t look and feel as smooth and sleek as the pricier options that were tried.

Why it’s a good deal: With the on-page coupon, you’re saving even more than the listed sale price.

Magicteam Sound Machines White Noise Machine

This small plug-and-play sound machine from Magicteam is sized just right—like a deck of cards if cards were square. It delivers good sound quality and variety, packing in 20 sounds, including nature sounds and even a freight train. The controls, just five buttons, are intuitive to use, although one evaluator said they were quite small and a bit difficult to see in low light. And it has a timer in case you don’t want it playing all night.

Why it’s a good deal: With the on-page coupon, this is within $2 of the best price we’ve seen.

JALL Sunrise Alarm Clock

The JALL Wake Up Light Sunrise Alarm Clock came out on top in our evaluations from an ease-of-use standpoint. It has two independent alarms (so you can set them for different times depending on your routine), seven alarm tones (including “wind bells” and birds chirping), an FM radio, and a fall-asleep mode that simulates a sunset (though no white-noise option). It was relatively easy to set up and use. According to the manufacturer, it emits a maximum light intensity of 240 lux. Tapping the snooze button will temporarily shut off both the light and the sound. (The advantage: You’re more likely to fall back asleep in the dark. The disadvantage? You’re more likely to fall back asleep in the dark.)

Why it’s a good deal: With the on-page coupon, it’s the best deal we’ve seen, beating the previous low by $1.

PureGuardian H3200WAR

The ultrasonic cool-mist PureGuardian H3200WAR is among the top-rated humidifiers for medium-sized rooms (300 to 400 square feet), hitting high notes for nearly every performance category we rate: output, convenience, noise, efficiency, and operation using hard water. But it loses points because it doesn’t have a humidistat to measure relative humidity. Online, though, you can buy a hygrometer that does that for less than $10.

Why it’s a good deal: Wayfair’s price is the best we’ve seen for this humidifier.

Blueair Blue Pure 211i Max

The portable Blue Pure 211i Max features an indicator light to alert you when you need to change or clean the filter. It also has a dirt sensor and four speeds. On its higher setting, it’s terrific at removing dust, pollen, and smoke, but expect a bit of noise. Try it on low and you’ll have more quiet while still experiencing top-notch results. This model is designed for use in a large space of 350 to 650 square feet and costs about $109 a year to maintain—just more than half that of the Pure 211+. It also weighs just 17 pounds, making it easy to move around. CR members found Blueair air purifiers highly reliable and were quite satisfied with their purchase.

Why it’s a good deal: This is close to the best price we’ve seen for this model.

Blueair Blue Pure 411i Max

The kid sister to the 211i Max, Blueair’s 411i Max has a similar design, but for a smaller space—CR recommends a medium room or smaller. The portable air purifier is primarily filter-based and has three speeds, a filter indicator, and a dirt sensor. On its higher speed it delivers pretty average results, and as with many air purifiers, it’s less effective on its lower speed. The model is easy to use and has a relatively low annual operating cost. Blueair came out on top for predicted reliability and owner satisfaction during CR’s first member survey.

Why it’s a good deal: This 15 percent discount is the best we’ve seen since Prime Day, when it sold for about $120.

Levoit PlasmaPro 600S

The Levoit PlasmaPro 600S is a solid performer all-around, clearing the air of dust, pollen, and smoke at both higher and lower settings with great results. It’s noisy while running at a high speed, but it’s relatively quiet at low speeds. That makes it an ideal choice for an office or bedroom. And you don’t have to worry about keeping track of filter changes: An indicator light alerts you when it’s time. This machine also has a dust sensor and programmable timer.

Why it’s a good deal: The on-page coupon translates to a 10 percent discount. It’s not the best we’ve seen (it went for about $210 during Prime Day), but if you need an air purifier now, you’ll at least save a little bit.

Airdog X5

Loud but effective at removing dust, pollen, and smoke when running at its highest speed, this Airdog portable air purifier misses the mark in a key area: Its air purifying performance at low speed is only fair, CR’s tests found. Note that at about 25 pounds, it’s also relatively heavy.

Why it’s a good deal: Thanks to the on-page coupon, you can get this for just under $600. Just note that the Prime Day price was closer to $520, so it may be worth waiting until Labor Day to see if the price dips further unless you need something now.

Heat Storm Mojave

With a name like Heat Storm, you expect a lot, and both the Heat Storm Mojave and the Sahara (not currently on sale) hit our spot-heating test out of the park. The Mojave also earns above-average ratings for room heating, hot surface, noise, and ease of use. It weighs 9.5 pounds and comes with a fan and a remote control.

Why it’s a good deal: The current sale price is just $7 more than it was during last week’s big sales.

Brooklinen Super-Plush Bath Towels

The Brooklinen Super-Plush bath towels are perfect for anyone who likes a towel as big as a blanket after their shower. These oversized towels are a whopping 53 inches long and 28 inches wide. They were also the most absorbent in our evaluation but took the longest time to dry. There are lots of color options to choose from as well.

Why it’s a good deal: You can save 10 percent right now, but note that this set was $8 cheaper last week and may fall in price again closer to Labor Day.

Gaiam Performance Yoga Mat

This Gaiam performance yoga mat dries very quickly. It offers excellent grip on the floor and on hands and feet, but only a fair amount of cushioning.

Why it’s a good deal: While it was $5 cheaper last week, this is still a nice discount compared with the original price.
