"The more I learn about sleep, its health benefits, and the connection between the gut, [the more] I prioritize it," Dr. Raj says. "Anything I can do to make my bedroom a sleep haven and a better environment for sleep, I think is a worthy investment." After a relaxing staycation at a Ritz hotel, she fell in love with the mattress they had. In fact, she had fallen asleep for 14 hours, so she researched the exact mattress she slept on and got one for herself.
As a side sleeper, she notes the firmness of the Ritz Carlton Mattress ($3,096, originally $3,440) is just right for her needs. "Because I got like the pillow top version, you just feel like you're floating on cushions and just stepping into this relaxing part of your day," she says.
Pro Tip: Dr. Raj also recommends investing in a heated mattress pad. "It's a whole other level of coziness," she says. "I put it on like an hour before I'm going to go to bed, especially in the winter."
