Filter Writers Test 5 Niche Sleep Products, From $35.99 Speakers to $498 BedJet
3 articles · Updated · The Guardian · Aug 19
Summary
Five sleep gadgets made Filter’s latest roundup, spanning blackout tents, Bluetooth sleep masks, slim pillows, climate-control bedding and a neurotech headband aimed at improving rest.
zDen’s $99 pop-up blackout tent anchors the list after photo editor Tracy Allison folded it into her nightly routine in 2025, using it when blackout curtains were not enough.
Manta’s $143.10 SOUND mask won a comparison of four models for combining light blocking with white noise, while Bluewave’s $39.95 slim gel pillow suited Allison’s preference for a low head position.
At the higher end, BedJet 3 costs $498 to blow temperature-controlled air between sheets, and Elemind’s $399 headband uses acoustic stimulation synced to brainwaves; a $35.99 under-pillow speaker offers a cheaper audio option.
The roundup fits Filter’s weekly service-journalism format, which highlights practical products and invites readers to submit their own sleep tips for a future newsletter.
