There Are Still Some Very Good (And Exclusive) Deals Ahead of The Holidays
Smooth, thick, and super silky sateen sheets
We’ve tested these silky, soft sheets against $1,000-plus luxury Italian sets, and some of our testers couldn’t tell the difference. Luxe and thick, they come in many beautiful colors and two mattress depths, and wrinkle less than other picks. Our test sets have looked good for years.
Other things to know: Cuddledown offers an unconditional guarantee — you can return the sheets at any time. Oeko-Tex–certified, though not free of chemical finishes. Deep-fitted set is available for $8 more. Listed deal price is for queen, but our exclusive promo code WIRECUTTER works on all sizes.

A super cozy duvet cover that barely wrinkles
When it’s cold, our longtime bedding expert reaches for this luxurious and warm duvet cover that’s silky and liquid-smooth. It’s one of the softest covers we recommend, barely wrinkles, and comes in a rainbow of colors. Our test cover from 2018 is still in excellent shape.
Other things to know: The fabric is a bit slippery, so comforters tend to shift around inside; depending on your insert’s dimensions, you may want to size down (for example, a queen-size cover for a king-size comforter). Has interior duvet ties and hidden button closure. Listed deal price is for the queen size, but our exclusive code WIRECUTTER works on all sizes.

A gauzy, breathable blanket ideal for layering
Pairing a denser cotton top and a gauzy cotton backing, this airy coverlet can help hot sleepers stay cool year-round. It’s a fantastic mix of laid-back style, durability, and breathability, and the wide selection of colors will look great on any bed.
Other things to know: Best for the summer months, but can be layered in cold weather. Not the softest blanket we recommend, but its gauze back is pleasant on skin. OEKO-TEX–certified. Use our exclusive promo code WIRECUTTER3.

A mattress topper that can revamp your sleep
Not quite ready to buy a whole new mattress? A durable topper can improve the quality of your sleep. This soft, springy, all-around-excellent option provides good support and pressure-point relief. It’s also ideal for hot sleepers.
Other things to know: Squishy, jiggly feel can be polarizing. Latex odor takes a little while to dissipate. Lacks corner straps, and may shift. Like all latex bedding, it’s pricey. Three-year warranty. Street price has risen, and so have deal prices. Get the deal on the queen size with code WIRECUTTER53.

A cloud-like yet supportive hybrid mattress
A crowd-favorite in our most recent tests, this cloud-like, supportive mattress garnered the most positive feedback of all. It’s sturdy without being too firm, and its plush pillow top makes it comfortable, but it still supports the body’s pressure points.
Other things to know: We tested the medium with the cloud pillow top, which we think felt medium-firm. Lifetime warranty and 120-night trial. You must sleep on it for at least 30 days before starting a return, and there’s a $99 return fee. We don’t recommend it for people over 200 pounds. Deal is available in all sizes; use our exclusive promo code WIRECUTTER35.

A cotton throw perfect for couch naps
When it’s too warm or you sleep too hot for a thicker throw, this breezy cotton blanket does the trick. It’s one of the lightest throws we recommend, with a pleasant, gauzy texture that feels cool on skin. It’s airy yet substantial, even surviving a spirited bout of tug-of-war with our dog tester.
Other things to know: We found the fabric was a bit fuzzier yet also bouncier after washing. Listed size is 70 by 50 inches, but our test sample measured at 78 by 58½ inches out of the package. Use code WIRECUTTER1. Code FREESHIP may be required for free shipping.

Unfussy — and good-looking — terry towels
Hotel-style towels can be bulky and cumbersome, especially around laundry time, but this thinner terry towel is chic and modern. The loosely woven loops offer texture that feels more like silky exfoliation than a scratchy towel.
Other things to know: Expensive. Lost a lot of its initial, out-of-the-package softness after a few years, but still feels plush. We’ve noted some reports of delayed shipping and spotty customer service, but the issues seem to have peaked in 2021. Use codes WIRECUTTER2.

Removable wallpaper with a nice woven finish
This lightweight, fabric-based removable wallpaper is easy to install and restick, and offers the most textile-like feel of those we tested. It comes in a well-curated range of styles and palettes, all with crisp print quality and a matte-look finish.
Other things to know: Material is quite thin, so it can get floppy, and light colors may appear more muted on dark walls. The adhesive is quite sticky. Inks are Greenguard-certified. Use codes WIRECUTTER20 and FREESHIP to get 20% off plus free shipping. Listed example deal price is for the Cleo Stripe Vertical wallpaper (2 x 12 feet, peel and stick).

A low-slung sofa that’s designed for socializing
Made with repairability and longevity in mind, this low-profile sofa has a sleek silhouette that invites lounging and socializing. The seat cushions are firm but have enough give to be comfortable, while the back cushions are dense and plush.
Other things to know: The armrests are very firm. 16-inch seat height is on the lower end of the spectrum. Limited style options. With only one showroom, the sofas are hard to see in person. One year warranty. Use our exclusive promo code WIRECUTTER. Matches the lowest price we saw earlier this year, and beats the sales we saw during Black Friday.

A shallower sofa with a mid-century modern silhouette
If you want a sustainable, easy-to-maintain mid-century-style sofa, look no further: This couch is both comfortable to sit on and incredibly easy to clean (one staffer says hers still has no visible stains despite her kids spilling food and milk on it).
Other things to know: A former “worth considering” option in our sofa guide. Low back and firm cushions may not be the comfiest for lounging; it’s a sofa you sit up in, not one you can sink into. Deal price reflects sample configuration; use our exclusive promo code WIRECUTTER. Made to order and ships in two to four weeks.
