The Best Gadgets For Better Sleep In 2023

Best Gadgets For Better Sleep

Catching more sleep is the best thing you can do to stay healthy, but only some find falling and staying asleep easy. The latest statistics show as many as 16 million UK adults (23% of the population) have sleepless nights.

Thankfully, there’s a gadget to solve many sleep problems, especially noise, temperature, and comfort-related problems. 

This article reveals the best gadgets for better sleep in 2023.

Let’s jump in!

Eight Sleep Pod 3 Cover

The Pod 3 is a mattress cover that tracks heart rate, respiratory rate, movements, sleep stages, and sleep time. It then continually and automatically adjusts the temperature of the sleep surface in response to these data metrics.

Other features include a GentleRise Alarm with vibration, and Temperature AutoPilot, which learns your sleep routine to set ideal temperatures.

The best feature is the dual mode, which sets individual temperatures for each side, so you and your partner get a comfortable night’s sleep.

Priced at over £2,000 for a double, king, or super king, the Pod 3 isn’t cheap, but if you can afford it, no other mattress cover offers so many features.

Heated mattress topper

Heated mattress toppers are the most efficient way to stay warm in bed because it’s cheaper to heat your bed than the room. They cost less than £100 for a double – significantly less than the smart Pod 3.

Most heated mattress toppers also consume 90 watts of electricity per hour, equating to a running cost of around 50p per week for two hours per night.

However, on a low heat mode, you will draw around half the wattage so that you can run it for four hours every night for 50p per week.

Air purifier

Did you know that air pollution is linked to chronic snoring? Although most people think snoring is trivial, it can ruin sleep quality.

Electrical appliances, cleaning products, and heating and cooling systems have emissions that can trigger allergies. People are also more likely to develop sleep apnoea living in high pollution, whether it has an outdoor or indoor source.

The best way to purify the air is with an air purifier – a plug-in device that sucks in dirty air and vents clean, filtered air.

A complete air purifier needs an activated carbon filter and a HEPA filter because they do different jobs. HEPA filters remove dust and airborne allergens, while carbon filters remove smoke, fumes, vapours, and gases.

The Medify MA-14 (£85, Amazon) is a good option, filtering spaces up to 18 sq m, while the Medify MA-40 (£229, Amazon) is for up to 78 sq m.

Wutan earplugs

Silicone is the best material for ear plugs because it becomes super-flexible with body heat, conforming to your ear canal for maximum comfort.

There are plenty of silicone and foam earbuds, but Wutan earplugs are highly recommended. Priced at £17.99 on Amazon, they reduce low-level noise across multiple frequencies to help you sleep.

The downside to silicone and foam earplugs is they do not eradicate noise, so you will probably still hear loud vehicles and snoring.

You can also try noise-cancelling electronic earbuds, but the complex electronics can irritate your ear canal and cause discomfort in bed.

Lumie Glow 150 (smart alarm clock)

If you use your smartphone or smartwatch for a morning alarm, you are missing a trick by not using a smart alarm clock. Smart alarm clocks use light and sound to wake you naturally, mimicking the light patterns that fall when the sun rises.

The best smart alarm clock is the Lumie Glow 150. Priced at £79.99 on Amazon, it doesn’t need a subscription and lets you choose between a 25, 30, or 45-minute sunrise. It has a 3-year warranty and works brilliantly as a gentle alarm.
