Because you and your body deserve to chill out for a bit.

I've spent the last three years as a Shopping Writer at BuzzFeed covering a wide range of topics, including but not limited to must-have Amazon products, personal care, home and organization, and more.

Please note that these aren't medical recommendations. Be sure to check with your doctor before starting any kind of treatment.

If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use and read more about cervical traction at Cleveland Clinic.

For this, instead of like a regular pillow, you're supposed to lay on it in 10-minute intervals; the seller suggests working your way up to it by starting yourself off at five minutes at a time, with a one- to three-day adjustment period before regular use.

Promising review: "This neck relaxer is so easy to use! It took a few times to get used to, but it is not uncomfortable and is very much helpful with my chronic neck pain and shoulder tension. I felt pain relief after the first use! I have even been able to cut back on my chiropractor appointments because of this product. So thankful for this amazing find, as I am only 41 and have been struggling with neck pain for several years now." —Mary Beth

Read more about how an Epsom salt soak can help relieve muscle pain, stress, and inflammation at the Cleveland Clinic.

It's also available as a set with the salt soak *and* the foaming bath!

Promising review: "I saw this in the store today and wasn’t sure if I’d like the scent, but I’m soaking in a bath right now, and I am so glad I bought this! This does not smell overly sweet or fake or like kid stuff. It’s fun and fruity, but for grown-ups! I think this would be so nice for summertime, but I’m certainly enjoying it now too! It says 'limited edition' on the bag, so I’m going back to grab some more." —Soma

Get it from Amazon for $5.87 (also available as a two-pack) or Target for $5.89. 

You'll also get two 8-inch extension straps and a 28-inch strap for creating a unique-to-you fit!

Promising review: "The cordless knee massager with heat provided excellent relief prior to my total knee replacement. Since my TKR, I’ve been enjoying the comfort of the massage feature as my knee heals from surgery. This product stays charged for a long time and is portable, so it can be used while traveling or working. My only regret is not finding this product sooner. It's great and works well." —Donna

Get a pair from Amazon for $59.99 (also available individually).

Patellar tendon straps like this one can reduce strain on the tendon connecting your kneecap and tibia during physical activity. While this can help reduce pain, talk to your doctor about recurring pain so you can address any underlying issues. Learn more about patellar tendon straps at Cleveland Clinic, and chat with your doctor to see if this is right for your knee pain.

Promising review: "This brace works like magic. I purchased it to help with knee pain from cycling, and I just make sure it's on tight and just underneath my patella and I have zero pain or discomfort now. Would definitely recommend. Comes with two braces!" —Amazon Customer

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says: "I'm a long-ish distance runner and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and after a few minutes feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!"

Promising review: "Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" —KS2018

Basic Vigor is a US-based small business specializing in all-natural migraine relief products. 

Promising review: "I’ve had migraines all my life — I’m 31 now. I’ve been on all kinds of prescriptions that work, but make me so sleepy... I’ve been using this stick for one week now, and it’s amazing! I rubbed it on at the first hint of a headache/migraine and it takes care of it fast. I haven’t taken a prescription migraine since I started using it." —Amanda Braswell

Y'ALL! I've been a chronic migraine sufferer for years, so I was skeptical that this ice pack would be any better than others I've tried. Thankfully, I was wrong. It's not flimsy at all and has some good weight to it while still being super soft and flexible. In addition to 360-degree cold (or heat!) therapy, it also provides *gentle* compression that's wonderfully soothing when a headache hits. You can pull it all the way down to cover your eyes (🎶 hello darkness, my old friend 🎶) or push it slightly upward to sit on your forehead, which means you'll still be able to see and do things if needed. I also LOVE not having to balance an ice pack on my forehead while trying to get some relief. The included freezer bag keeps it nicely contained, so it doesn't come out smelling like all the frozen foods it's stored with.

Promising review: "I heard about it on TikTok, and I was skeptical. I put it in the freezer as soon as I got it in the mail. Then, out of nowhere, I felt a headache coming on. I pulled it out of the freezer, slipped it on, and I passed out. When I woke up, my migraine was gone. I now go to bed with it on almost every night. I love that it's a blackout mask. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!" —TheWalkFam

Psst — parents really love this as a "calm down" moment for their kiddos! 

Promising review: "This little cloud guy is adorable and squishy! His face is very sweet, and the color morphing is great. I really like it’s calming, and even if you don’t use it for meditation, it’s a cute night light." —RgHound

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other styles). 

Hanni is a small business that specializes in personal care products. 

Promising review: "Love love love! Holy grail shower product. This saves me money on soap because the lather it produces takes just a couple of pumps for my whole body. The exfoliation is epic, and I can finally reach my entire back. Also dries very quickly and is such a cute pattern! I will definitely be purchasing them as gifts." —Tirza Sosah

Get it from Amazon for $18 (also available as a two-pack). 

Promising review: "I’ve had these amazing pillows for 6+ months now, and they are still just as plump and amazing as the day I received them. I’ve spent $50+ on pillows for them to lose shape and support within months, so the fact that these are still so plump and supportive is amazing to me. I am both a side, back, and stomach sleeper, and I can sleep comfortably in all positions with these pillows! A MUST-HAVE!" —Jennifer Cook

Coop Sleep Goods is a small business specializing in pillows, pillowcases, and sleep products. 

Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews, but I have to for this. I saw this pillow on TikTok, and it got me curious, so I immediately came to Amazon. OMG, it’s such a game changer. I’m a side sleeper, and this pillow is heaven. It’s some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much, I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." —MT

Get it from Amazon for $89+ (available in queen and king sizes and in three shapes). 

Some reviewers recommend ordering one cup size up for correct coverage.

Promising review: "I wear a 38DDD and finding a bra to keep them supported and dry has been a never-ending battle. I typed in 'minimize bras' and I took a chance on this one. I’m so, so thankful I did! This bra does not disappoint! It’s true to size. It keeps my chest lifted without straps digging in. It's super soft on my skin and keeps me dry! I have bought five more and got rid of all my old bras. You will not be disappointed with these bras!" —Brynn Trimaldi

Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes 34B–46DDD and 15 colors).

Promising reviews: "FINALLY, COMFY PANTIES! As a 30-year-old woman, I’ve been on the search for comfy underwear and I finally found them. They’re soft and have the perfect amount of stretch." —Amazon Customer

"So freaking comfy. I need my undies to cradle under my butt cheeks the way a loving mother tenderly cradles her newborn’s face. I was worried these would creep up the cheeks into wedgie territory, but no. Blissful cheek hugging all day long. Can’t feel them even if I tried. No weird pinching or odd areas. Perfect chef’s kiss. I typically wear Aerie boy brief–style undies — these are a close match in fit and comfort, and equivocal in size." —Ali Morey

Get a set of five from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and in 11 color combos). 

Promising review: "I bought these almost a year ago. I was working retail and I would wake up in the middle of the night with foot and leg pain. A model at the store I worked for suggested I get these. They are perfect for relieving pain in my feet. They hurt a little bit when I put them on, but it's a good stretch. I would recommend these to anyone that works on their feet. They were a lifesaver for me. I love them." —Sb

Read more about how to choose a weight and what these blankets help with and how from Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "I'm a hot sleeper, so it's hard to find a weighted blanket that doesn't make me sweaty and gross. I spent SO long looking at them on here; they were all either too expensive or too hot. I even tried out three of them and had to return them all. So I am very surprised with this one, I didn't expect much since it's so cheap. It doesn't make me hot at all, and I like the weight distribution. Definitely try this one." —Cat88

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in three weights and two sizes). 

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says: "I have a similar cooling blanket because the fabric of my couch is gorgeous, but...gets VERY hot in the summer — they can make all the difference!"

Promising reviews: "Sorcery! I don't know what makes this blanket work, and I don't care. The fact is that IT DOES!!! I overheat at night a lot because I live in Arizona. I got this blanket at the exact right time, and I'm THRILLED!!!" —Amanda Julia Hess

"Pretty sure there’s magic in this blanket. I am a VERY hot sleeper and also am super frugal and hate cranking the AC in the south. This blanket has kept me cool night after night so that I sleep comfortably through the night and don’t wake up in a puddle of my own sweat." —S

Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief.

Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. 

Promising review: "I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." —Angela Leonard

Read more about how chair cushions can help at Cleveland Clinic.

Comfilife is a small business that specializes in comfort-based personal care products. 

Promising review: "ABSOLUTELY best support cushion I've used! We have so many aids/cushions/creams/new beds every three years, and an endless amount of physical therapy devices I've purchased online or even online with a prescription, and nothing I've got has ever just 'WORKED!' right out of the box. It wasn't a cushion that sat awkwardly in the chair, I didn't feel like I was 40-something going on 90, and it didn't feel like 'it will probably keep my tailbone part from not feeling as bad' — NOPE, THIS CUSHION INSTANTLY CRADLED MY BODY IN A WAY THAT SUPPORTED FAR MORE THAN MY TAILBONE!! I always have to get up so carefully to lean forward and release my coccyx pressure first, before I can even get up. THIS PILLOW TRULY KEEPS ALL PRESSURE OFF MY COCCYX AND SPINE. I plan on getting a few more to have several places." —J-licious

It even comes with an adjustable strap if you're someone who tosses and turns in their sleep (or if you're using it to recover from an injury that may lead to limited mobility). Psst — a lot of pregnant reviewers and reviewers with arthritis pain and cartilage pain swore by this, too!

Promising review: "I'm 49 and a lifelong athlete and fitness trainer. I train a lot, and I also spend a great deal of time driving. I am struggling with piriformis syndrome in my right leg, plus I have an old knee injury in my left leg. I also sleep only on my side at night. Sleeping with a pillow above my knees has worked okay and has helped, but it is hard to keep it in place. I bought this to try, and it's awesome! It stays in place, is very comfortable, and has helped my issues in reducing stress in my legs enormously. It was a little thicker than I expected it to be and took a little getting used to, but now it's great. Having the strap has been really helpful because it stays in place when I switch from sleeping on my one side to my other side during the night." —Christine T. Mitchell

Promising review: "I received this as a gift, I loved it so much I just bought my mom one too. The music is relaxing and just perfect. The pressure and heat are perfect. I swear, I feel like it’s a treatment you would receive in an upscale spa. Go ahead and treat yourself! You won’t regret it!" —Jennifer L. Hair

Promising review: "This eye mask has been such an asset during my dry eye journey. If I’m going through a particularly painful time, I use one of these masks for 30 or more minutes and my eyes feel relaxed and my vision is better for a period of time. There’s no preparation; you just open the pouch and follow directions. They offer such a soothing experience." —Mary Worth

Kate McLeod is a former bakery owner and pastry chef who turned her attention to creating "skin food." For two years, she developed her body stones right in her kitchen, mixing pantry-sourced ingredients like cocoa butter and avocado oil.

Promising review: "AMAZING!!!!!!! Melts into the skin so incredibly. Never have I received this much moisture in my skin from lotions. My skin, in a few uses, is more moisturized and plumped up... I am hooked!!!!!" —Kristin

Get it from Kate McLeod for $14+ (available in two sizes and with a muslin travel bag or reusable bamboo canister).

Promising review: "These are simply awesome! Such a small thing can make such a big difference. At night, when I opened my eyes, I was flooded by little dots of light intruding into my space from all my electronics: the TV and cable receiver, the modem, the routers, the electric blanket control switch, the microwave, the smoke alarms, cell phones, etc. And it doesn’t take much to interfere with a good night's sleep. These will mute and soften those bright lights so they don’t bother you anymore. Thanks for a great 'little size, big results' product!" —Ziapetlady

Other cool features include a quiet motor and the ability to be charged up on the go, thanks to a USB-type charger that works with a power bank, phone adapter, and 5V/2A adapter.

Promising review: "This massage gun has been really fun for our family. My wife has struggled with pain in her hips and gluteal area for years. We have used this in the evenings frequently and definitely noticed pain relief. I have used it after a good, hard workout and also noticed that I am not as sore. Also, we have been very impressed with the battery life. We can both use it quite a bit and not have to charge it for days." —Brent

In addition to functioning as a sunrise alarm clock, Hatch Restore 3 lets you personalize a "bedtime routine" for each night to train your brain to recognize sleep cues and get a better night's rest. Options include changing the light settings to more amber tones to help produce melatonin for sleep, soothing noise options, and sleep meditations and sleep stories you can get in the Hatch app.

Promising review: "I’ve been using the Hatch 3 for a few weeks now, and I must say, it has completely transformed my mornings. The customizable sounds and soothing noise options create such a calming, peaceful atmosphere that makes waking up feel like a pleasant experience rather than a jarring event. I’ve found myself waking up feeling more relaxed, with the gradual transition from soft sounds to more lively tones gently guiding me out of sleep. The app is another great bonus. It allows for full customization of the wake-up and wind-down routines, so I can set the tone of my day from the moment I wake up to when I’m getting ready for bed. The soft, warm light feature is also fantastic. It mimics the sunrise, gradually brightening the room and helping to regulate my circadian rhythm. Overall, the Hatch 3 is not just a smart alarm clock; it’s an experience." —Nate

Promising review: "I had neck and shoulder pain for about a month, that’s why I bought this, and after using this massager just 4–5 times, my pain went away!! I was afraid it would be painful, as I can be sensitive when getting a massage, but it was not at all painful. The cord is nice and long, you can put it on your neck, back, feet, everywhere! And it feels so good. If I get a kink in my neck or my feet hurt I take this out! Best purchase ever!" —Sarah E.

Promising reviews: "Love it!! What a great massager. I use it every day!!! It feels so good while using it and even afterward. My feet continue to feel the effects. Totally recommend this." —Irene B. 

"This is an incredible machine for foot pain. It ranges in pressure from 'firm, relaxing massage' to deep kneading. I have issues with my feet and a lot of pain as a result, so I use the medium setting with heat for 15 minutes and then the high setting with heat for 15 minutes. Best 30 minutes of my day. The pressure can be intense at times on the high setting; however, it is exactly what my feet need. Very impressed." —veber

Promising review: "I like to poop. It's literally the first thing I do in the morning. This makes it even more enjoyable. I bought this about a month ago for my wife and I. We are pretty healthy people and have no 'problems' when it comes to #2. But with this, you just sit down, put your feet up, and bombs away! It feels like a straight pipe coming from your colon. Remember those difficult-to-push-out BMs? No more! With just a slight push, you are done. Gravity takes over, and out it comes. This is how the human body was designed to poop. We literally pooped like this for thousands of years! I recommend this to all my friends, who laugh at me until they try it. Stop making it hard on yourself when you poop. This is by far the best bathroom accessory you can buy!" —jjl1911

Promising review: "This product is a true gem.

I started applying this at night, and he says he doesn’t hear a peep out of me! If you have trouble sleeping or snoring, this is something you need." —Raevyn
