Blackout Curtain Panels
If morning sun, streetlights, or light from outside is making your bedroom brighter than you’d like, blackout curtains are one of the easiest ways to darken the whole room. Marlee and Leah like these because the heavy triple-weave fabric blocks light while still looking like regular bedroom curtains — no temporary panels or elaborate setup required. They’re a good everyday option for bedrooms, nurseries, or anyone who needs to sleep during daylight hours.

Light
Portable Blackout Window Cover
If light is sneaking in around your curtains or blinds, this is a simple way to make the room properly dark. Marlee and Leah like this option because it attaches directly around the window with hook-and-loop strips, helping block the gaps where light usually gets through. It’s also portable, so it’s especially handy for travel, rentals, nurseries, shift workers, or anywhere you need a darker room without installing permanent blackout curtains. The listing is for a 100 × 58-inch temporary blackout window cover.

3-Piece Positioning Wedge Pillow Set
Sometimes getting comfortable in bed is less about finding one magical pillow and more about having support exactly where your body needs it. Marlee and Leah like this three-piece wedge set because the different shapes can be combined to support your back, knees, legs, or side-sleeping position. It’s especially handy for chronic pain, during pregnancy, after surgery, or anytime lying in your usual position just isn’t comfortable.

Bedding
Memory Foam Wedge Pillow
If lying completely flat is uncomfortable because of acid reflux or heartburn, a wedge pillow can make bedtime a lot more comfortable. Marlee and Leah like this one because it gently elevates your upper body while still feeling like part of your bed rather than a piece of medical equipment. It has a memory foam top layer and a removable jacquard cover, making it a practical option for anyone who sleeps more comfortably on an incline.

Bedding
Adjustable Full Body Pillow
If you’re a side sleeper, pregnant, or just someone who likes having a pillow to hug, a full body pillow can make your bed feel a whole lot more comfortable. Marlee and Leah like this one because the shredded memory foam filling is adjustable, so you can add or remove filling depending on how firm and supportive you want it to feel. It’s 20 × 54 inches, with a breathable cooling cover, making it a nice option for extra support without taking over the entire bed.

Say Good Night to Insomnia by Gregg D. Jacobs
If you want to better understand why insomnia sticks around — and what actually helps change it — this is a great place to start. Marlee and Leah like this book because it takes a CBT-I approach, looking at the thoughts and behaviours that can keep insomnia going rather than just piling on more sleep tips. It includes a structured six-week, drug-free program developed from Gregg Jacobs’ work at Harvard Medical School, so it’s especially useful for anyone who wants to learn more about the same evidence-based principles behind CBT-I.

Adjustable Shredded Memory Foam Pillow
Pillow comfort is very personal, which is why Marlee and Leah like an adjustable option instead of pretending there’s one “perfect” pillow for everyone. This one uses shredded memory foam that you can add or remove to change the height and firmness, so you can make it work better for your body and your preferred sleep position. It also has a breathable, washable cover, which is a nice bonus if you tend to sleep warm.

Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker
If you’re the kind of person who likes knowing the why behind what your body does, this is a fascinating deep dive into the science of sleep. Marlee and Leah like it because Matthew Walker takes a complicated topic and makes it approachable, covering what happens while we sleep, why sleep matters, and how it connects to our physical and mental health. It’s a great read for anyone who wants to nerd out about sleep as much as we do.

Dimmable Red Night Light
If you need to get up during the night, turning on a bright overhead light can be pretty jarring. Marlee and Leah like a dim red night light because it gives you enough light to see where you’re going without flooding the room with brightness. This one has adjustable brightness, so you can keep it as low as possible while still being able to safely make your way to the bathroom, check on the kids, or move around without fully lighting up the room.

Soft Foam Earplugs — 60 Pairs
If outside noise, a snoring partner, or an early-rising household keeps pulling your attention at night, a simple pair of earplugs can make your sleep environment a whole lot quieter. Marlee and Leah like soft foam earplugs because they’re inexpensive, easy to use, and mould to your ears as they slowly expand. This pack comes with 60 pairs plus a small travel case, so it’s an easy option to keep at home, in your suitcase, or anywhere you regularly sleep.

Cooling Weighted Blanket for Adults
If you like the calming, tucked-in feeling of a weighted blanket but tend to sleep warm, this is a better fit than the plush Sherpa options. Marlee and Leah like this style because it gives you that gentle, even pressure without piling on a lot of extra warmth. It’s a simple option for anyone who finds a little weight comforting at night but still wants their bed to feel breathable and cool.

Bedding
Sherpa Weighted Blanket
If you like feeling extra cosy and tucked in at night, this is the weighted blanket version of that. Marlee and Leah like this one for colder sleepers because it combines the gentle pressure of a weighted blanket with a soft, fluffy Sherpa finish. It’s warm and substantial, so it’s a better fit for someone who loves a heavier, cosier bed than someone who tends to sleep hot. The blanket uses a layered construction with weighted beads designed to stay distributed throughout the blanket.

Bedding
Weighted Blanket for Adults
Some people simply feel more settled with a little extra weight on them at night. A weighted blanket can create that cosy, tucked-in feeling without adding another complicated step to your bedtime routine. Marlee and Leah like them for people who enjoy gentle pressure and find regular blankets a little too light — especially if you want something breathable that still feels substantial.

Large Bright Light Therapy Lamp
Getting bright light early in the day helps anchor your body clock and reinforce when it’s time to be awake.

It delivers up to 10,000 lux and has an adjustable stand, so it’s a good option if you want something that feels more like a dedicated light box than a small desk lamp.

Wearable Bright Light Therapy Glasses
Getting enough bright light at the right time of day helps your body clock know when it’s time to be awake and when it’s time to sleep. Marlee and Leah like these wearable light therapy glasses because you can get your morning light while you’re making coffee, getting ready, working, or moving around instead of sitting in front of a traditional light box. The Luminette 3 uses blue-enriched white light and is designed to be worn during normal daily activities, making bright light therapy much easier to fit into a morning routine.

Orange Light-Blocking Glasses
Bright light in the evening can make it harder for your body to recognize that nighttime is approaching.

Marlee and Leah recommend wearing them for the last couple of hours before bed, especially while watching TV, using screens, gaming, or spending time under bright indoor lighting. This pair has a simple round frame, so they feel a little more like regular glasses than some of the bulkier light-blocking options.
