My favorite comforter is 5-star luxury at a Motel 6 price: It's just $24 (over 50% off)
Can I let you all in on a little secret? I make a living writing about all things home, but I've been embarrassingly slow to update so many things in my own home, like my bedding. So, after years of sleeping under a mediocre blanket, I decided to invest in a new comforter. And not just any comforter — the wildly popular Bedsure Comforter, which came highly recommended by my sister. Seeing as she's the real-life version of the Princess and the Pea (aka the fussiest sleeper I've ever met), I ordered it. The low price didn't hurt, either — and it's back on sale for just $24 (down from $50) at Amazon. Why is it a good deal? 💰 This queen-size comforter in classic white is over 50% off, bringing it down to $24 (just $3 more than its lowest price of 2025). That's essentially the price of a Sweetgreen salad these days. Plus, it has tens of thousands of five-star ratings to back it up (in addition to mine), so if you're thinking about giving it a shot, now would be a smart time. Trust me, it feels like a much higher-end blanket than its low price would imply. Why do I need this? 🤔 Before I get into my own thoughts on the Bedsure Comforter, let's chat about the basics. It's designed to be an all-season blanket and has a soft poly microfiber shell with down alternative filling. It smartly features box-stitch construction, which helps keep the filling evenly distributed. You want that cloud-like feeling all around! Because it comes with loops attached to its sides, you can use it as a duvet insert. And to make things really convenient, it's machine-washable and dryer-friendly. I purchased the queen size in white, but it's available in many other colors and sizes, twin through Alaskan king. (Prices vary.) Putting it to the test 🛌 Upon unboxing the Bedsure Comforter, I saw that it was somewhat compressed (as expected). I followed the instructions, which said to fluff it up by hand and let it expand for a day or two. By nighttime, it had puffed up nicely and felt super-soft to the touch. So far, so good! I'd recently gotten a new duvet cover, so I decided to place it in there to start. Aside from the usual annoyances that come with setting up all duvets, I was happy with the result; the loops aligned with the snaps in the cover, and I didn't notice any bunching once everything was inside. Once that was done, it was time for the sleep test. I got into bed, pulled the blanket over me and immediately felt a level of comfort I've never felt while sleeping at home. While it's definitely not as heavy as a weighted blanket, I did feel a similar "hugging" sensation that put me at ease and made me want to doze right off — which I did. I tend to sleep hot, and it's not unusual for me to wake up in the middle of the night wanting to kick all sheets and blankets off my body. Thankfully, the Bedsure kept me cozy without overheating. I've been using it for over a year now, and I can't believe the difference it's made in my sleep. I feel like I'm getting tucked into a hotel bed every night, and even after washing the comforter, it's maintained its marshmallow-like feel. Once the weather started warming up, I took it out of the duvet cover and used it on its own. It does have a big blue label on one of its corners, which I don't love from an aesthetic standpoint. (I'm sure it's easy enough to remove.) Another note: According to the cleaning instructions, you should use a front-loading washer and dryer. My washing machine is a top-loader, and I took a chance. I'm happy to report that there have been no issues, but do this at your own risk. What reviewers say 💬 I'm not alone in my obsession with the Bedsure Comforter. More than 58,000 Amazon customers have given it a perfect five-star rating. Pros 👍 "Best sleep in a long time," wrote this Goldilocks. "Not too thick, not too light. Didn't wake up feeling too hot, either. I slept so well, I slept through my alarm and ended up late for my class. ... Kept the fluffiness after the first wash too, like a cloud! 10/10 would be late for class again." "Love this duvet," raved another smitten sleeper. "It is so soft and has a nice weight to it. Feels just like the expensive bedding you find at high-class hotels. ... The dog loves it too!" "I am 100% satisfied with this comforter," said a third fan. "It is so soft to the touch, as well as cool to your skin until you are under it. It locks in the warmth without being so heavy you can't move around. My dog's claws don't sink into the threads, ripping them out, either." Cons 👎 "I am happily surprised by the comfort and quality of this duvet for the price," shared a generally satisfied snoozer. "In my opinion, it has the perfect weight to it and makes our bed feel extra comfortable. The only con is that pet hair clings to it, but if you used a cover as intended, I am sure that would help." "I'm loving the luxurious feel to this bedcover!" exclaimed a final buyer. "The only thing I wish it had was a tag to say side/top or bottom. That would make it easier to make the bed!" Another Amazon bedding find I adore? These popular pillows: If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem.

16 Products To Help You Save Money And Cut Energy Usage
A power consumption meter to help you track down the energy vampires in your home. You know, the TVs, computers, small kitchen appliances, and other electronics that leach energy even when they're turned off or in standby mode. A Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan if you loveeee walking through the misters at Disney and want to bring the experience home. This bb — which can be configured as a pedestal or tabletop fan — uses way less electricity than an AC, but still lowers temperatures by up to 12 degrees. And you can even pop some ice cubes in the tank for extra chill factor! A set of Bedsure cooling sheets so you can turn off your AC and still comfortably sleep through the night without flipping and flopping around like a hot dog on a damn grill. And Rest's Evercool Cooling Comforter with temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking fabric so you don't have to rip apart your bed in an attempt to get quality sleep. The brand's proprietary fabric has a "feel temperature" (aka a Qmax Score) much lower than cotton, bamboo, silk, and lyocell! Some magnetic air vent deflectors so you can redirect airflow toward the center of your room because right now it's seemingly going right through the wall??? Some transparent weather stripping tape to seal up gaps between your AC unit and window. If your AC has made quite a few moves or you have wonky window frames, you know how tough it can be to get the right fit. And a roll of thick foam tape weatherstripping you can install around every door frame while you're at it. A set of smart LED bulbs that'll be wayyy more efficient than those incandescent ones you've been using. Not only do LEDs use up to 90% less energy and last up to 25 times longer, but they don't give off any heat, which can truly make a difference! A set of blackout thermal curtains that not only block out light, noise, and heat, but prevent cool air from escaping because that is just money straight down the drain. Or a set of motorized shades which offer a different look, but will work much the same. Plus, they can block out light with the push of a button or a simple Alexa voice request. A Dyson dual air purifier and fan that'll not only blast you with icy cold air, but also capture 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns in size, including pollen, bacteria, and pet dander. While it's an investment upfront, it'll certainly pay off as seasonal allergies + wildfire smoke + 90-degree days are no match for this baby. A two-pack of affordable draft blockers because you'll be damned if you pay even a penny for any cool air that Houdinis its way out of the house. An attic stairway insulation cover that creates a seal so none of the air you paid for escapes up into the attic for your mice and squirrel friends to enjoy instead... A therapeutic cold cap tons of reviewers swear by not only for alleviating intense headache, sinus, and eye pain, but also for deeper sleep on hot summer nights. Pop this in the freezer, throw it on before you go to bed, and you might just be able to get away without your AC running through the night. A set of Japanese-engineered cooling pillowcases with fibers designed to absorb your body heat as you sleep. How cool is that?! Or an affordable silk pillowcase that will prevent you from flipping and re-flipping your pillow in a desperate bid to chase the cool side. When your fan is going, your cold cap is fresh out of the freezer, and you've slipped under some silky sheets: Reviews in this post have been edited for length and/or clarity.

I Review Sleep Gear For a Living—My Favorite Cooling Sheets Are Less Than $100 on Amazon
I've met many supposedly 'cooling' sheets in my time as a mattress and bedding tester, and I have been disappointed more often than not. A cooling mattress can't do all the heavy lifting with temperature regulation, and I'll forever emphasize that your choice of bedding matters just as much—which is why I'm an unapologetic sheet snob. Which brings me to Bedsure, a brand I stumbled across on Amazon in a last-ditch effort to find some decent sheets when mine bit the dust (rather, my dogs bit holes into them). I was keen on sticking with bamboo, which is an uber-breathable and soft material. Bedsure quickly popped up on my radar with its GentleSoft cooling sheets—they claim to be cooling and soft. At first, I was like, 'Sure, Jan. The name is very generic, but it's an established, woman-owned brand (we love to see it) that was founded in 1979. Bedsure has won plaudits from most of the other major review sites with its line of affordable bamboo rayon sheets, duvet inserts, and down alternative comforters. I'm convinced that these are some of the best sheets out there, especially at their price point. The Soft Stuff Photograph: Julia Forbes Bamboo used for textiles usually falls into one of two categories: rayon and viscose. Viscose is technically an offshoot of rayon, but pertains to a separate finished product with its own traits. These particular sheets from Bedsure are made from bamboo rayon, which is woven to be breathable and feel silkier than your standard cotton percale or textured linen. I like bamboo best because it gives what I call 'the baby dolphin effect,' where the silkiness is just glorious to roll around in. But if you are keen on cotton flannel, percale, or even satin, Bedsure has those kinds of sheets too. I also want my sheets to have some weight to them, and not mimic tissue paper, and Bedsure's GentleSoft sheets accomplish that as well. Like cotton, growing and processing bamboo can use lots of chemicals to turn a natural woody plant into an ultra-soft fabric. This is where certifications are important, especially if you're someone who tries to stay away from potentially harmful chemicals and compounds that could be used for things like fire retardants. Bedsure GentleSoft sheets are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, so we know that these sheets passed third-party safety tests. What Bedsure has done to set these 'GentleSoft' sheets apart from other bamboo bedding is refine the manufacturing process of the bamboo fibers themselves. This includes the use of certified softeners (like organosilicon) and brushing with high-grit sandpaper to make the fibers smooth, cool, and durable. It also uses denser fibers in a twill weave pattern to give it substance. It's a long process, and Bedsure details all the steps. I am not an observer in the factory to verify all these steps are actively applied to any particular set of sheets, but I'm happy to share the next best thing—my testing experience. Sleep Experience Photograph: Julia Forbes I have a cooling mattress, the Nolah Evolution Hybrid, and I keep my AC cranked and fan running. All of that is not enough for me, and my cooling sheets need to hold their own too. My mattress is 15 inches tall, and these sheets are deep-pocketed enough to fit mattresses up to 16 inches. I've been sleeping on these sheets for well over a year at this point, and if I've set up my bedroom atmosphere correctly, I actually feel a bit chilly when I fall asleep, which is why I go with sheets that aren't as thin as spiderwebs. It's no weighted blanket, but it does create a perceivable cocoon around me that isn't stifling. My husband is not as big a fan of this effect, preferring a crispier percale over anything else. Having been pressed on this, he retreated, agreeing that it's personal preference and the Bedsure sheets are very nice—especially since they're so affordable with a price tag below $100. I'm not usually one on the hunt for certain colors or patterns, as a standard white or gray is just fine by me. But in this particular case, I decided to mix things up and get a deep blue set. It has an ever-so-slight sheen to it, which, coupled with the heftier weave and threads used, makes them feel expensive .
