Ones to Keep away from
Bearaby Cuddler for $199: Bearaby is finest recognized for its weighted blankets, eye masks, and stuffed animals, nevertheless it makes different sleep merchandise like heated pads and throw blankets, in addition to its physique pillow, the Cuddler.

The Melofoam, an all-natural foam comprised of rubber-tree sap, is in contrast to every other pillow fill I’ve slept on. It is heavier than a stuffed pillow however lighter than reminiscence foam and has a rubbery, bouncy high quality. Its springy fill and thin physique made for a clumsy, if not uncomfortable, facet sleep.
