A Sneak Peek Into Our Editors' Homes: These Are 33 Products We Actually Own

"If you're the type of person who always needs to flip to the cool side of the pillow, then you'll love the Casper Hyperlite Sheets ($177-$262, originally $208-$308) — they are magnificent. My bedroom gets unseasonably hot in the middle of the night, and I normally wake up feeling as though I've slept in the Sahara. These sheets are kind of a game changer in that they really help keep me cool, but the material still feels cozy and inviting, which was important to me. Also, as a serious minimalist, I was worried about the design on the white sheets, but I've found it to be unobtrusive and even inviting. Plus, they're soft! Going into the summer months, trust me when I say these are the sheets worth buying." — India Yaffe, associate editor, Shop

"I bought the Castlery Todd Side Chaise Sofa ($1,439, originally $1,599) because it looks cool, but it goes beyond that too. It has a sleek and modern vibe that totally completes my living room and fits into my style. Plus, I love that the armrest is soft and actually acts as a pillow that I can lay my head on. I've had it for about four months now, and it's held up great. There's no stretching or creases in the fabric, and it still looks brand new. All in all, I'm blown away by the quality." — KJ

"I tried the Casper Wave Ergonomic Mattress ($1,356-$2,631, originally $1,595-$3,095), and I swear to you, I feel like an entirely new person. I have more energy every day, all because I changed what I'm sleeping on. Oh, and those back aches? They're entirely gone. I look forward to climbing into bed, and I rarely ever wake up in the middle of the night anymore. It feels like laying on a cloud. If you're a hot sleeper, have back pain, or just need to upgrade your mattress, I can't stress enough that this is the best addition ever made to my bedroom. It has changed my life (and my mood)." — Macy Cate Williams, senior editor, Shop

"It took me a year (and long nights of contemplation) to buy a new couch, but as soon I experienced West Elm Modern Chesterfield Leather Sofa ($2,399-$3,199), I knew it would be a great addition to our reading nook. Our prized possession came wrapped in protective fabric, and it was assembled in 15 minutes via white-glove service. As soon as the two men left, I proceeded to sit, work, and lie on it, which is something I now do daily. The Chesterfield sofa adds sophistication to the room while making the apartment feel more welcoming. The leather upholstery and button tufting are polished, and the earthy hue perfectly complements my plant garden." — Shelcy Joseph, assistant editor, Shop

"I'm a fan of the brand's popular Hemp Sheets, but the Buffy Breeze Comforter ($179-$259) topped it off. After two nights sleeping underneath it, I already felt an improvement. It's almost like my body was "adjusting" to the cool, new atmosphere underneath the blanket. My silly future husband even joked about just how nice it was under the Breeze: "Ooh, I'm freezing!" he'd laugh each night, pretending to shiver as we hopped into bed. But this comforter really was lowering my body heat during the night, because I was no longer waking up with sweat beads trickling down the sides of my face." — Sarah Wasilak, editor, Fashion

"I am not exaggerating when I tell you that the Caraway Cookware Set ($495, originally $595) has totally changed my daily routine for the better. I have been cooking meals with it every day. The first thing I made was a fried egg, and I couldn't believe how easily it slid right off the pan. I have used this cookware for over a month now, and I haven't had to scrape a single item off its surface. No sticking means something even more important: easy cleaning. I don't have to spend ages standing over my sink, trying to get surfaces clean. Rinsing this set is a breeze. Nothing is ever piled up in the sink anymore, because I don't feel like I have a challenge I'm avoiding. I'm telling you, Caraway's products are absolutely worth the investment." — MCW

"What makes the Pluto Personalized Pillow ($95) special is that each one is unique to its owner. The brand has you take a test of preferences and dislikes about pillows, and then they create a custom one just for you. My pillow was made just right — clearly they saw my needs and were able to design what I wanted. Not only did it ship super fast, but the brand's cute design and packaging also sold me." — KJ

"Venus et Fleur Nue Tuberose Votive ($39 for the 2.4 oz. votive, $129 for the 11 oz.), is a small joy that's on my mind this week. I love a candle that quietly doubles as an air freshener when it isn't burning, and this one definitely pulls its weight off-hours. I keep it on my bedside, and it makes my room smell faintly like roses. (It's actually a mix of orange blossom, bergamot, freesia, and lotus, so it just smells nice.)" — Chris Roney, copyeditor

"After just one use, I knew the Our Place Always Pan ($145) was worth it. The multifunctional pan is worth the hype for a reason. The nontoxic and nonstick pan features a smart design that is well thought out and covers all your bases. The deep bottom makes it perfect for cooking food like rice, burgers, eggs, stews, and, well . . . anything. It comes with a spatula and a dedicated place to rest it. Included in the price, it also comes with a stainless-steel steamer, which is perfect for broccoli, dumplings, and more. I use it every day and couldn't be happier with its easy and useful design." — KJ

"I live in a small apartment and am very picky about decorating and keeping it as minimal as possible. Adding an eyesore of a desk wasn't high on my priority list. Then I found my match, the stylish Floyd x Fully Standing Desk ($790-$820, originally $865-$895)."

"This isn't my first piece of Floyd furniture. I'm a long-time fan of the brand's cool aesthetic and functional designs, which is what made this such an easy choice. It feels comfortable to sit at, and the OLED touch handset is easy to move up and down, plus it has four presets, making it simple to adjust. Floyd's signature birchwood block is what truly makes it chic. The beautiful finish and curved edges feel modern and versatile. I can easily say it's one of the best pieces in my home." — KJ

"My partner and I fell for our Leesa Memory Foam Mattress ($699-$1,099, originally $799-$1,299) on the very first sleep. We'd tested at least five foam mattresses in-store — some with different "sleep numbers" — and watched at least a dozen YouTube reviews of direct-to-consumer mattresses before we decided to try the Leesa. And boy, am I glad we did. The foam mattress pitches a balance of firm (for him) and soft (for me) and adapts to your body. There's a 100-day trial period, but we didn't need it. We immediately agreed we were having some of the best sleep of our lives." — Angelica Marden, president, Editorial

"I tried the Pillow Cube Classic ($70), named such because it is, quite literally, a sturdy block of memory foam. At five inches thick, it lifts and holds my head at just the right distance from the bed, and my shoulders don't get all scrunched and smooshed while I sleep. The charcoal bamboo memory foam ensures that my head never gets too hot. (There is no "cool side" of the pillow because it just doesn't get too warm in the first place.) The pillowcase that comes with the cube is also quite soft! As someone who has been attached to the squishiest of pillows all my life, I'm actually shocked that I now prefer the firmness of the Pillow Cube." — Maggie Panos, senior editor, Voices

"When mattress shopping, I ordered a Nectar Memory Foam Mattress ($499-$1,199, originally $798-$1,598) and hoped for the best. On a scale of one to 10, the Nectar mattress is probably a seven in terms of firmness. While I'm a side sleeper who typically prefers an ultraplush pillow-top mattress, I was impressed by how supported I felt. If you prefer a firmer mattress and are looking for a good one at an affordable price, then Nectar is the way to go." — Marisa Hillman, contributor

"I'm a sweaty sleeper, even when the weather is cold. I just love bundling up in my sheets and blankets, and well . . . it makes me sweat. I recently tried Brooklinen's new and improved Down Comforter in Lightweight ($135-$305, originally $159-$359), and loved it. It's available in three different thicknesses, depending on what you need, ranging from lightweight to all-season to ultra-warm. I opted for the lightweight one, and it's totally blown me away. Every night I feel warm, but I don't wake up in a pool of sweat the next morning. Made from a 100 percent cotton sateen shell, it's a breathable choice that also feels super fluffy to the touch." — KJ

"The Our Place Fully Prepped Bundle ($230, originally $265) consists of a set of three knives: an everyday chef's knife, a serrated slicing knife, and a paring knife. Made from premium German steel, these cut precisely and are made to last. My favorite thing about them is the soft grip with special grooves that feel comfortable and almost show you exactly how to hold the knives.

"Next up, the walnut cutting board. You may think a cutting board is a cutting board, but this is the one you'll want, trust me. The design is well thought out, and so much more than that. The built-in juice trench on one side makes it easy to catch and drain liquids. It features a side that's completely flat, so it can even double as a serving tray, too. I can tell you from my own experience, these are something I'd buy again, but I likely won't have to since the quality is grade A and long-lasting." — KJ

"This Casper Down Pillow ($110-$144, originally $129-$169) is incredibly soft and comfortable if you want something that is plush and not too puffed up and big. This is a great option for someone who likes flatter but also plush pillows. It's not too big, so it works well for back and side-sleeping while still giving you a cozy sink-in feel." — KJ

"Sleeping was never an issue for me, but that changed this past year. I've been sleeping much less and in more uncomfortable positions, causing new neck and back pains. I recently got the chance to try the Yana Premium Body Pillow ($199), and after reading about it, I was excited to give it a shot and don't regret it. I used to find myself tossing and turning during the night, searching for the perfect position to fall asleep, and most of them ended up hurting my back. Resting in the pillow's unique silhouette gives my body a cozy sensation that doesn't tempt me to move around as much. As a result, it helps prevent me from getting stuck in uncomfortable positions, and I sleep so much more sound night after night." — KJ

"The Parachute Linen Venice Set ($359-$459) are my current favorite sheets. The number-one thing that has me sold on this set is that it just feels like luxury. Every night I feel like I'm slipping into a cozy bed in a five-star hotel. The soft texture is cooling and comfy, and it has that crisp linen feel that just can't be beat. The material is crafted in Portugal with 100 percent European flax, which offers a breathable soft-to-the-touch feel that just gets softer over time. While I usually opt for cotton bedding, this linen set has blown me away. It's great for summer and helps keep me cool, because I'm a sweaty sleeper. Plus, it comes in a number of chic colors that'll fit perfectly into your space." — KJ

"I love my Helix Dusk Medium Feel Mattress With Extra Support ($599-$1,299). I am a side sleeper and my husband is a stomach sleeper, and it offers great support and comfort for both of us. I have had the mattress for several years, and it actually came with two different toppers that zipped directly to the top of the mattress. I have now religiously swapped back and forth between the two toppers depending on the season. It has been a game changer, as I am a hot sleeper but love a lot of covers. It looks like they are still offering the cooling topper but have swapped it for a regular pad ($100-$175)." — Lauren Hendrickson, head of Shop and Affiliate Growth

"My office chair was uncomfortable, so rather than hitting the market for a new chair, I was recommended to invest in a seat cushion. I gave the Purple Double Seat Cushion ($99) a try, and I'm so glad I did. The brand describes it as an office chair upgrade, and I can confirm this is 100 percent true.

"The cushion it made with the brand's popular gel grid that does wonders for body support. The grid works by comfortably cradling your tailbone and giving it a soft surface to rest. Plus, the air channels are designed to keep the area cool, so you don't get hot and sweaty. All in all, this cushion is a winner for me. It feels soft and cozy, while also giving me the support I need. Within weeks, I felt so much less back fatigue, and this is a purchase I would recommended to anyone who spends most of their day in a chair." — KJ

"Full disclosure: I was first turned on to Hotel Collection Ultimate Micro Cotton Towels ($22, originally $36) through a PR pitch and had meager expectations, until I actually gave the free towel samples a try. Whoa. From the first wash cycle to the first time I used them, I immediately noticed how much softer, fluffier, and more absorbent they were than any of the other towels I owned." — Angela Elias, content director

"As soon as I moved into my new loft, I immediately bought these Cost Plus World Market Marble Mugs ($21 for three) from Cost Plus World Market. I have to say, they are now my most used items from the kitchen. Even over Zoom meetings and FaceTimes, I get compliments on them! Who knew I could be so passionate about some dish ware?" — MW

"I've always dreamed of owning a fluffy white rug, but I held back on investing in one thinking it would be a pain to keep clean. Then I discovered the Ruggable Polar White Shag Rug ($139-$249). The brand makes an array of stylish designs that come in two pieces, so you can wash the top layer in your washing machine. My rug arrived in two pieces, including a nonslip rug pad for the bottom and then the fluffy top. All I had to do was roll out the pad and then roll out the top layer. It was so easy to set up and fit perfectly into the style of my room. Plus, it's incredibly soft." — KJ

"I love almost everything about my apartment, with one notable exception, the closet space. I've yet to meet a person who truly feels like they have enough room for their clothes, but the biggest issue I have, without question, is storing winter coats. I have the Clewiltess Wooden Tree Coat Rack ($30) that sits perfectly in an awkward corner between my living room and kitchen, and it might just be the best thing I've bought for my apartment. This thing is small but mighty — it stores seven of my winter coats without a problem. It hasn't tipped over or broken, despite the weight of down and shearling. If you're living in a small space, I cannot recommend this enough." — IY

"I've been disappointed by box mattress purchases in the past, and I had almost decided to give up on them altogether. Then my boyfriend decided we should try Tuft & Needle Original Mattress ($405-$765, originally $450-$850) after hearing great things from a friend, and I'm so glad we did. It's been over two years, and we're still in love with our mattress. We even purchased a second one for our guest bedroom!" — Renee Rodriguez, contributing editor

"I can't stop raving about the Brabantia Soft Touch Trash Can ($220-$240). Brabantia has a number of modern-looking bins to choose from depending on what size, color, material, and function you're looking for, but the one I selected fit the following requirements: it's on the small side (we take out our trash once a week); it has two removable buckets, so we can separate our recycling; it opens with the press of a finger; and it has legs, so we don't have to bend down. We've had it for a few months now, and while it is a bit of a splurge for a trash can, I'm so happy we went with this one." — Tara Block, deputy editor

"Recently, I've been on a mission to redecorate my bedroom, and these Parachute Washed Linen Curtains ($169-$189) were the perfect finishing touch to my space. Not only do they provide more privacy for my room, but they give it a cozier feel. Hands down, the best thing about them is the quality. The new curtains are made with 100 percent linen and 100 percent cotton lining. They come pre-washed and ready to use, but I know I can wash them throughout the years and they won't wear. The versatile design will look beautiful no matter the style of your home, and can be used on its own or layered with more pieces." — KJ

"My apartment now constantly bursts with the calming notes of a Homesick candle. Since discovering the brand two months ago, I have ordered a few of their themed options, but one of my favorites as of late is the Book Club Candle ($34). It's partly because it conjures up images of me wrapped in a blanket with my favorite book and partly because it makes my space feel personal and lived-in.

"I especially like to use it on rainy days. With a blend of orange, nutmeg, cinnamon, sandalwood, vanilla, balsam, and amber, it instantly sets the mood for a cozy time at home. I'm drawn to the warm glow of the flame. It burns slowly and can last for up to 80 hours. I also appreciate that it's nontoxic and free of harmful chemicals, which you can immediately notice in the light quality of the scent." — SJ

"As the saying goes, you don't know what you're missing until it's gone . . . but what about something you've actually missed that you didn't even know because it hadn't arrived? That's how I feel about my Tushy Spa 3.0 Bidet Toilet-Seat Attachment ($119, originally $149), aka my favorite thing in my entire bathroom now.

"Now, I'm not particularly handy, but I'm not not handy either. I'm very good at following instructions, and have just enough tools to get most jobs done around my house. Truly, it couldn't have been easier, as all I did was unscrew the toilet seat, add the Tushy, and reattach the toilet seat. Then, when it came to the water, it was as simple as screwing the hose to my toilet tank. The whole process, including reading the instructions, took less than 10 minutes. Even if you aren't sure a bidet is for you, don't knock it until you've tried it, because I'm personally never going to poo-poo this concept ever again." — Morgan Ashley Parker, contributing editor

"Made from matrix powder steel, this lightweight Hast Kitchen Utility Knife ($89) is perfect for everything. The Japanese-style blade is sharp and easy to maneuver, and it has a sleek silhouette. I have it in gold, which is fun, but it also comes in a few other finishes. Hands down, though, the lightweight design is what really sold me. It feels durable and sharp, yet it has this weightless quality that truly makes me feel like I'm using something much more expensive." — KJ

"The Bearaby Cotton Napper ($249) has a knitted design that not only looks cool, but it's actually cooling. Some other options are heavy in fuzzy materials or faux velvet, which sound amazing but can get really hot. This one is made from 95 percent organic cotton, making it a breathable and soft choice. I also like that there isn't an inner layer of beads or sand that makes it weigh a lot. Each one is hand-knit and made with no artificial fillers, and the thick knit is where its weight comes from. Another big selling point for me is that it is machine washable, making owning it hassle-free. Not only does it make me comforted, relaxed, and less stressed, but I also love the way it looks in my living room." — KJ

"Made with the brand's signature 360-degree purple grid, the Purple Best Latex Pillow ($159) has over 1,500 open air channels that promote air flow. It's covered by a moisture-wicking cooling cover that is great for sweaty sleepers. The pillow's materials and design give it a cool-to-the-touch feeling that's hard to be beat. The squishy and durable pillow is one that you can tell has long-lasting support that won't fall flat after a few months of use. It's a great choice for a hot-sleeper who loves a ton of neck support. The cooling pillow keeps your head from getting hot, while keeping it in a supported place." — KJ

"I discovered a brand that's finally changed my mind about cat furniture, Tuft and Paw. The site carries an array of impressively chic pieces and accessories that I can assure you, you won't hate seeing in your home. After browsing the site and trying to settle on just one thing, I got the Tuft and Paw Vista Cat Perch ($199). This is a great choice for my cat Leo, because he loves being high up. He will sit on top of my doors (yes, really), bookshelves, and even my fridge. Having this little perch I'm sure has been a delight for him. I hung it in my living room in a spot that catches afternoon sun, and he even has a view out the front window overlooking my busy street. He spends most of his day here now." — KJ
