A bad night of sleep is straight up horrible. Aside from spending the endless night's hours tossing and turning, you've set yourself up for a day of failure. And then the grogginess trickles into the next night and day, creating an entire week of a yawn-filled daze. You think you've tried everything: A cooling mattress topper, deluxe bamboo sheets, maybe even some melatonin. But there's one more thing for you to try: Weighted products.

You are probably most familiar with the weighted blanket—which we love—but there are also pillows, stuffed animals, masks, and more to help you sleep soundly. We chatted to Mikey Goldman, CEO and Founder of Quiet Mind, who says that his company's weighted pillow "leverages the same science of deep pressure stimulation that promotes relaxation. The compact, huggable format makes it easy to use on your lap while working, rest it on your body when you need to unwind, or use like a stress ball for your body to help quiet your mind." It seems counterintuitive—putting a heavy item on top of yourself to help regulate your body temperature—but weighted products actually works. Using deep pressure stimulation, it attempts to stimulate the production of serotonin, which can help reduce the stress hormone, lower anxiety, and increase your natural melatonin levels—some studies suggest.

Ready to try it for yourself? At this point you've got nothing to lose. We've got our 8 favorites to help you slumber soundly all night long.
