Our Top Picks: 9 Black Friday Gifts For Restful Sleep
Everyone on your shopping list needs a good night's rest, so this holiday season, treat them to Black Friday gifts for sleeping. And to keep you from being up all night worrying about the perfect gifts we’ve put together a few great ideas that your family and friends will love.
Nothing says you care more than the gift of deep, restful sleep.
The Perfect Mattress
Leesa Legend Hybrid Mattress, starting at $1,529
You can't settle in for a long winter's nap without the right mattress. Finding a mattress online can be an overwhelming task because there's no right or wrong answer to what kind is best and you may not know exactly what to get. It all comes down to personal preference and sleeping style.
Side sleepers might prefer an all-foam or a spring and foam hybrid. Back sleepers might do best with an all-foam mattress to relieve pressure points, maintain spinal alignment and prevent back pain. Stomach sleepers might be most comfortable on a spring and foam hybrid for pressure relief on the hips.
The best way to get a new mattress online is to buy it and test it out. That's why every Leesa Mattress comes with a 100-night risk-free trial. You don't have to worry if you've chosen the right mattress as a gift. If it doesn't bring restful sleep, you can send it back for a full refund and try a different style.
If a new mattress is outside of your budget, a foam mattress topper is a great solution. Leesa's 2-inch thick high-quality foam topper provides ultimate comfort and support for all types of sleepers, so you can't go wrong with this very affordable option. Plus, it's a lot easier to wrap.
Customizable Comfort
Leesa Adjustable Base Bed, starting at $1,299
There are many benefits to sharing a bed with someone, but bedmates don't always need the exact same sleep setup. When this happens there's always some sort of compromise on the part of one or both partners, but it doesn't have to be that way. Give the gift of comfort and amazing sleep with an adjustable base bed. It's a great solution for a fully customizable bed (and a happier relationship).
With the push of a button on the remote control, the bed frame lifts the top and/or bottom of the mattress for reading, watching TV, working in bed or just plain getting comfortable and ready to sleep. You can purchase a Twin XL, Queen, Cal King, or a Split King setup with your choice of Twin XL mattresses for the ultimate in custom comfort. The possibilities are endless.
Soft and Cuddly Bedding
Leesa Bedding Bundle, starting at $486
No bed is complete without amazing bedding like comforters, sheets, and pillows. Help your gift recipient find hygge in the warmth and comfort of one of Leesa's luxurious bedding options. You can purchase our bedding bundle or customize your gift by choosing an amazingly soft duvet, a breathable 400-thread-count organic cotton sheet set, or one of our pillows to surround them in soothing comfort. Our Premium Foam Pillow is perfect for all types of sleepers and features ventilation channels for cooling comfort. Our Hybrid Pillow is made with chilling fibers and gel that's cool to the touch for the hot sleepers on your list.
Calming Tea
The Calming Box by Asheville Tea Company, $39.00
One of the most comforting substances on earth is a nice cup of tea. Not only is holding the warm mug and smelling the soothing aroma of the tea therapeutic on its own but the act of making it can be a great bedtime ritual in and of itself. Putting the kettle on the stove, pouring hot water into a mug, and waiting for the tea to steep can help us detach from our hectic day by focusing on a simple task.
Making tea can be so centering that the Japanese are known for their tea ceremonies which are deeply rooted in history and full of symbolism. It's practiced as a ritual of intention, quiet reflection, and living in a simple moment. While you don't have to go quite that far, making tea is still a great way to practice being calm and present.
Tea varieties like lavender, chamomile, tulsi, oatstraw, elderflower, hibiscus and mint are known for their relaxing effect. Green tea is another great option, but choose decaf or one with low caffeine so it doesn't interfere with sleep. To create a tea-making gift set, include a beautiful cup or even a heated mug.
LectroFan EVO White Noise Machine
LectroFan EVO White Noise Machine, $49.95
White noise machines are a popular gift choice during the holiday season. They maintain a soft, consistent sound that blankets over the sleeper and masks other sounds in the room. Not only is the sound helpful for getting to sleep, but it also helps to stay asleep by eliminating any changes in sound around us.
White noise is also great for people who don't like silence and need to have some other noise around them. When consistently incorporated into a bedtime routine, the sound of the machine becomes a signal to the body that it's time to rest. While white noise machines offer a variety of different sounds, we like the LectroFan EVO because it offers 22 different sounds to choose from for every type of sleeper and environment.
Weighted Sleep Mask
Nodpod Weighted Sleep Mask, $34.00
The gentle, soothing pressure of this weighted sleep mask feels like a hug for the eyes. Not only does it block out light to aid sleep, but it has a similar effect on the body as a weighted blanket. It works by applying gentle deep touch pressure which creates a sense of calm by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This kind of gentle pressure is great for anyone with anxiety or sleep disorders since it helps slow the heart rate and breathing to help the body calm down for rest.
The nodpod sleep mask can also be placed in the freezer for an extra soothing experience.
Sumptuous Skincare
Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Night Concentrate, $110
Fine lines and wrinkles don't stand a chance against a good nighttime skincare ritual. Beneficial for men and women alike, the simple act of self-care before bed can be a soothing and indulgent experience.
To assemble a delightful facial care set, include makeup remover, a gentle cleanser, toner, and night cream. This idea is easy to customize and can fit any budget. Choose from fantastic drug store brands all the way up to Tatcha’s luxury products for ultimate pre snooze pampering.
Research has shown that taking a hot bath or shower about 90 minutes before bed can help people fall asleep more quickly. Supplement your gift with bath and skincare products from Dr. Teal's that contain relaxing ingredients like melatonin and essential oils.
Aromatherapy Essential Oils
Grove Collaborative Unwind Essential Oil Blend, $14.95
Soothing scents make for sweet dreams. Anyone on your list would be delighted to receive relaxing essential oils and an aromatherapy diffuser. There are many different types of essential oils that are ideal for relaxation.
Lavender: Great for calming the nervous system, lavender essential oil helps with insomnia and promotes restful sleep, leaving you feeling refreshed when you wake up in the morning.
Chamomile: Similar to the effect drinking chamomile tea has on the body, chamomile essential oil can help reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
Clary Sage: A comforting scent, clary sage is known for its antidepressant effect and its ability to help reduce cortisol levels and blood pressure.
Cedarwood: Fresh and woodsy, cedarwood has a sedative effect due to a chemical compound called cedrol.
Bergamot: Bergamot is commonly found as an ingredient in sleep blends rather than alone, but its calming properties are thought to improve mental health and lower blood pressure.
You can purchase essential oils separately to make a custom concoction or buy this blend formulated specifically for sleep.
Super Soft Sleep Socks
Cloud Socks at Brother Vellies, $35.00
Not everyone likes to sleep with socks on, but for the people on your shopping list who always have cold feet, a pair of cozy sleep socks are the answer to their prayers. But did you know that wearing socks to bed actually promotes sleep?
Warm socks help increase blood flow and prevent heat loss through the skin. This lowers the body's core temperature and helps bring on a snooze.
Cloud socks come in every imaginable color and are one-size-fits-all to provide cozy comfort for the whole family. Pair them with some soothing foot cream for a spa-like bedtime routine.
With Black Friday sales just around the corner, this handy list will hopefully soothe some of your shopping stress. You might even want to pick up some of these products for your own use. After all, you deserve a relaxing treat after taking such good care of your loved ones.
