Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter (full/queen)

This high-quality comforter’s baffle box construction and 700 fill power duck down keep you toasty warm without overheating. Its lightweight design prevents sliding and helps keep its loft, even after it’s been stored.

Other things to know: Down does leak over time, but leaked less overall than most comforters we’ve tested. One-year return policy. Two-year warranty. Deal price is for the all-season weight in full/queen, but code WC27 works for all sizes (remove any existing codes first). The street price has risen recently, so deal prices have risen as well, and we’re unlikely to see lower.

Brooklinen Classic Duvet Cover (full/queen)

Soft, comfortable percale gives this duvet cover a luxurious hotel bedding feel, without the fancy hotel price. It’s one of the least expensive we’ve tried, and offers the most stylish and interesting variety of prints we’ve seen.

Other things to know: Can get a bit wrinkled. After years of long-term testing, we’re still impressed with its overall construction. Street price has risen in the past year. Deal price is for full/queen, but code WC27 works on all sizes (remove any pre-existing codes).

Cultiver Linen Duvet Cover (queen)

By far the softest we’ve tested, this breathable rustic linen duvet cover adds a pleasantly rumpled look to any bed. Its strong, neat stitching holds up in the wash, and we’ve experienced no pilling, thinning, or construction issues.

Other things to know: Swatches are available if you’re unsure of color or texture. Deal price is for the queen size, but all sizes are discounted with code WCMEMDAY. Street price has risen in the past year.

Riley Textured Cotton Coverlet

Featuring a thick cotton top with gauzy backing, this breezy blanket can help hot sleepers stay cool year-round. The ribbed design and wide selection of colors will look great on any bed.

Other things to know: Not as soft as the other cotton blankets we recommend. Deal price is for queen with code WCMDAY45. Not the lowest we’ve ever seen, but matches the best price over the last two years.

The Company Store Company Cotton Voile Quilt (full/queen)

Made of lightweight cotton voile fabric for an airy, bouncy feel, this comforting quilt is cozy and durable enough for year-round use. It’s an incredible value for the quality — by far the best quilt we’ve tested that’s under $200.

Other things to know: Crevices are a lint magnet. Machine washable. 30-day return policy includes washed and used items, with a $3 return shipping fee. Use code WIRECUTTER to get the deal price.

Brooklinen Classic Percale Core Sheet Set (queen)

Hot sleepers rejoice: This cool, breathable percale feels light and crisp against the skin. This set offers a huge variety of colors and a rotating mix of hip prints. The long-staple cotton construction can endure years of washes and wear.

Other things to know: Oeko-Tex certified. Set includes a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases. 365-day return policy. Deal price is for queen, but all sizes are 27% off with code WC27 (remove any existing codes first).

Cultiver Linen Sheet Set (queen)

Linen sheets can be a game-changer for hot sleepers, and our longtime favorite set is durable, breathable, and one of the softest we’ve tested. It includes a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases, but you can also purchase by piece.

Other things to know: Like any linen sheets, these wrinkle very easily. More limited sizes than other brands. No warranty; 30-day return policy. Limited colors. Deal is for queen, but all sizes are discounted with code WCMEMDAY. Street price has risen in the past year

Lilysilk 25 Momme Oxford Envelope Luxury Pillowcase (standard size, set of two)

Our sleep experts consider these a holy grail for curly or potentially frizzy locks — compared with cotton, silk absorbs less product and creates less friction. They’re decadently lustrous and weighty out of the box, but our testers liked them even more after washing.

Other things to know: The 25-momme count indicates a good weight of silk, while the 6A rating indicates a good strand length. Add two standard-size pillowcases to cart and use code WCMEMDAY to get the deal price. Street price has recently risen significantly.

Nest Bedding Easy Breather Pillow (queen)

A long-time favorite of our experts and readers, this pillow’s moldable, customizable shredded-foam filling provides firm, comfortable support for back and side sleepers. There’s no lingering chemical smell like with some similar pillows we’ve tested.

Other things to know: The shredded foam is encased in its own washable inner pouch. Two-year warranty. Use code WCPILLOW25 to get the deal price and free shipping on a queen-size pillow.

Nest Bedding Luxury Weighted Blanket

Weighted blankets can be chic. This cozy and polished version looks at home draped over a bed or couch. Its dual-sided design has smooth polyester jersey on one side and silky bamboo-based rayon on the other, and nearly imperceptible glass microbead filling.

Other things to know: Machine-washable and -dryable. At 18 pounds, may be too lightweight if you like a lot of direct pressure. Not ideal for people who sleep hot. Only one color. 30-day returns if in original packaging. Use code WCBLANKET25 to get the deal on the double size.

Loftie Alarm Clock

Prefer a gentler wake-up call? This smart-ish digital alarm clock is the least-jarring model we tested, with a selection of ambient music and nature sounds. Its thoughtful features include a Bluetooth speaker, Spotify connectivity, and an adjustable night-light at the base.

Other things to know: Expensive for an alarm clock — though this deal helps — and the street price has recently risen $20. The numerical display is legible up close, butslightly dimmer when viewed off-center. Not the brightest, and there’s no option to increase the display size for nearsighted sleepers. Regularly receives updates via Wi-Fi (which doesn’t seem necessary). Use code WC-CLOCK. Not as good as previous deals, but we’re unlikely to see lower soon.
