The 15 best Christmas gifts for better sleep
1. Hug Sleep Pod Move: from $59.99 at Amazon
Best for: Easing sleep anxiety and stress
The first of its kind, Hug Sleep’s Sleep Pod Move is a swaddling blanket for kids, teens and adults — so your friends can literally sleep like babies. It’s available in six sizes and three colours, can be machine-washed for an easy clean, and it even comes with a 30-night sleep trial. This stretchy blanket is a crowd-pleasing gift as it’s perfect for all sleeping positions, heights and frames. Its lightweight breathable design will also keep hot sleepers cool and comfortable.
2. DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress: from $839 $449 at DreamCloud
Best for: Sharing a bed without disturbing each other
Bring luxury hotel comfort to your home with the DreamCloud Hybrid mattress in a box. The hybrid design is suitable for all sleeping positions, but there is a memory foam version if your loved one prefers that “hugging” feel. Dream Cloud’s 40% off sale is live right now, so you can grab a queen size mattress for just $799 before Christmas. There’s also some generous extras, including free shipping and returns, year-long sleep trial, and a lifetime warranty. In our DreamCloud Mattress review, this mattress was a hit with all of our testers, so we have no doubt that you and your loved ones will love it, too.
3. Tempur-Adapt Mattress Topper: from $319 $191.40 at Tempur-Pedic
Best for: Easing hip and back pain during sleep
If you or your loved one suffers from back pain, this is the best mattress topper for easing pains that disturb your sleep. The Tempur-Adapt Topper will provide the trademark pain-reducing cushioning of a Tempur-Pedic mattress for less. Thanks to the topper’s use of NASA-developed Tempur Material, our Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt Topper review awarded it high marks for pressure relief and deemed it one of best toppers for side sleepers. Tempur-Pedic’s 40% off sale has also made a comeback for a limited time only, meaning you can save up to $281 when you choose this ultra-plush topper.
4. Coop Home Goods Adjustable Pillow: from $72 at Amazon
Best for: People who can never find the right pillow
Suits all sleep styles? Yes? Hypo-allergenic. Yes. Cruelty-free? Yes. It’s no wonder this adjustable, memory foam pillow is the No.1 entry on our best pillow guide and would make a perfect Christmas gift. Customisable to fit your loved one’s sleep needs, it also comes with a 5-year warranty and a 100-night trial. Our Coop Home Good Original Pillow review – while overall positive – did point out that it had a tendency to trap heat, so hot sleepers may want something cooler.

6. Saatva Lightweight Down Alternative Comforter: from $205 at Saatva
Best for: Keeping cozy yet cool through the night

Like the original, it’s also hypoallergenic and machine washable for a clean sleep. There’s also a 45-night sleep trial, free shipping, and a 1-year warranty. Downside? There is a return fee.
7. Lumie Bodyclock Rise 100: $99 at Amazon
Best for: Waking up easier on dark mornings
Used by athletes to help wake them up for training on dark mornings, the Rise 100 alarm clock is the latest model from SAD light therapy brand Lumie. It optimizes sleep schedules by mimicking a sunset during bedtime and a sunrise during wake-up time. This model is perfect for early risers who need some help getting out of bed when it’s still pitch black outside, so give this to someone who isn’t a morning person — but needs to be. Plus, there’s currently a ‘buy one, get one half price’ sale at Lumie if you fancied one for yourself too.
8. Gravity Weighted Blanket: was $250 $162 at Amazon
Best for: Reducing anxiety, stress and restless legs
Bring some calm into a loved one’s life with the Gravity Weighted Blanket. This uber-comfortable blanket has a uniform weight distribution and comes in multiple colour, size and weight options.

That's why it's one of the best weighted blankets around.
9. QuietOn 3.1 Sleep Earbuds: from $289 at QuietOn
Best for: Drowning out noisy neighbours at night
These noise-cancelling earbuds will make a great present for anyone whose sleep may be affected by a city’s noise pollution or a snoring partner.

10. ThisWorks Deep Sleep Pillow Spray: from $20 at Amazon
Best for: Lulling your brain into a relaxed state for sleep
The soothing taste of camomile, the comforting feel of a plush mattress, the sight of a light-therapy alarm clock mimicking a sunset, and sound-cancelling earphones — is there something missing? Sometimes, you have to bring in all of your senses to create the optimum sleep environment, so spray a fine mist of Deep Sleep Pillow Spray over your bedding and pyjamas for the relaxing, sleep-inducing smell of lavender.
11. Calm app: from $69.99 at Calm
