Sleep & wellness

Not the best purifier for the money and the app is unreliable, but it suits the room and works as a scent diffuser.

He trusts the tech and considers it essential, with new features making his Hästens bed feel limited.

The gold standard of air beds, comfortable and self-inflating.

Firm but supportive, and what he would buy again instead of the Hästens bed.

Pricey for what it is, but very effective against headaches and migraines.

Surprisingly good, quiet and with a decent amount of resistance for its small size.

He thinks it is the greatest massage chair on the planet, with zero gravity, heating and 140 airbags.

Replaced the first diffuser and has been a lot better, and looks good.

Smells great but was too big for the space and its remote was fiddly and not smart, so it was swapped out.

Gives a worse massage than the Xiaomi but he'd still use it more as it fits in his backpack pocket.

As good as pricier massage guns at a quarter of the price with 13 hours of battery, but bulkier than a Theragun Mini.

Very comfy pillow, but its sleep tracking was clearly inaccurate compared with the Apple Watch.

He calls the Gastly humidifier the coolest idea ever, with mist that mimics the Pokémon's own.

Addictively good scents and clever design, though it runs through fragrance quickly; scored a high 8.

It sounds good under a pillow, but a partner can still hear it, so he rates it 4 out of 10.

A beautiful table that quietly purifies air and wirelessly charges, earning a strong 9/10.

An elegant, simple diffuser that works better than a plain candle, and he scored it 9/10.

A properly strong foot massager with washable covers; he would want one at home.

The over-the-top $5,000 massage chair won the comfort contest with a perfect 10 out of 10.

Slick software and good for people without a trainer, though the 'personal trainer replacement' claim is overblown; 8/10.

Smaller than expected but the light highlights the mist nicely; it might overheat.

Despite poor packaging and a farm smell, the most useful product of the haul, genuinely refreshing with iced water.

A multi-function fan, humidifier and purifier that made a big difference in his bedroom with little fuss.

Odd-looking but genuinely comfortable and the most pleasant part of his cursed day.
