The Best Sleep Essentials 2025
Ashley Abramson
Building a healthy sleep routine is the most important step toward consistently restful nights — and your environment plays a big role in supporting said routine. That’s where thoughtful sleep essentials come in. The right mattress and pillow can make your space more comfortable, so you’re more likely to stick with your routine.
When your surroundings work with you, it’s easier to follow through on your routine night after night, turning better sleep from a goal into a lasting lifestyle. Below, learn more about the best sleep essentials to help you get better rest — including Hatch Restore.
Best White Noise Machine and Smart Alarm Clock
Hatch Restore doesn’t just address one part of sleep — instead, it supports the entire sleep experience, setting the tone for you to wind down at night and wake up gently in the morning. Along with white noise and nightlights, Restore helps you create a personalized bedtime routine with a full library of soothing sounds and calming light that cue your body to unwind. Restore’s sunrise alarm eases you into the day by simulating natural morning light, making waking up less jarring.
Unlike separate gadgets or apps that only do one job — and often require your phone, which can make it hard to fall and stay asleep — Restore blends multiple science-backed, sleep-supporting tools into one sleek device.
