Kyra Sedgwick’s Breast Pillow, and What Other Famous People Can’t Sleep Without

Sheetsandblankets

Ariana DeBose
“They’re exactly how I want to feel when I lie in bed. I like to feel the strands of my sheets — to a point. But I really love this specific blend of percale. I have three sets that I alternate between, and they’ve held up really well in the wash. They let go of stains pretty easily, which I really like. And they last. There’s no fraying. They still hold that fresh quality even a couple years in.” —March 2026

Jean Smart
“I didn’t realize how comfortable linen sheets are, especially after you’ve used them for a while and they’ve been washed several times. They can be a little delicate, so you’ve got to be careful. I just find them very luxurious, and it’s very nice to sleep in them in the nude.” —February 2026

Jake Shane
“They’re very stretchy and cooling and comfortable. I get hot very easily, and I never feel stuffy or hot with these. They feel so soft and silky — it feels like you’re sliding around the bed. I’ve had them for a little over a year, and they’ve held up great.” —September 2025

Nikki Glaser
“I don’t really allow a lot of luxury in my life because I’m a self-loathing comedian, but this always makes me feel really rich and just the way I should be treating myself — the way everyone should treat themselves is to have things like Cozy Earth sheets. They feel buttery and cooling and just elite.”—May 2024

Melissa King
“I’m a total princess when it comes to bedding. I need to feel good when I get in my bed, and it’s something I’ve splurged on my whole life. Even when I was a broke line cook, I always made sure to have a comfortable bed to come home to. Everything on my bed, from the pillows to the hypoallergenic duvet, is from Parachute. It’s middle ground as far as affordability yet great quality. But the one thing I have to have is the sateen sheet set.”—September 2025

Dominique Ansel
“I don’t sleep much, but when I sleep, I like to sleep well. It was only after I’d been in the U.S. ten, 15 years that I started to appreciate bedsheets. I remember going to a very nice hotel once and slept so well, then looking at the bedsheets and they were these. They’re smooth, soft, and high quality.”—January 2022

Rachel Antonoff
“Sheets are one of those products you’re tricked into thinking are better the more expensive they are. These sheets are certainly not cheap, but after having slept on Frette sheets, I think these are just as soft and lovely. I’ve been using them for about five years now.”—December 2023

Claire Saffitz
“When I was a kid, my aunt gave my sisters and me all satin pillowcases, and since then I’ve loved sleeping on a cold pillow. As an adult, I got a silk one because it’s supposed to be great for your skin and hair. I do feel like my hair dries out less when I’m sleeping on this, and if I sleep on a cotton pillowcase, I’ll wake up with creases in my skin. But I love it just as much for the texture and feel as for the skin and hair benefits. I can’t sleep without it now.” —November 2022

Avantika Vandanapu
“I prefer sleeping in the heat and turning on my ceiling fan. I am very brown in that way. So, I love a weighted blanket for that reason. It keeps me warm. I also find if I lay in bed with a regular blanket, I end up scrolling on my phone for hours and hours. With the weighted blanket, my body shuts down and I have to sleep.” —December 2024

Mattressesandpillows

Beverly Johnson
“Full disclosure: They sent us one to try out. But oh boy, I would buy this mattress over and over again. When it arrived, it came in a box and I was complaining the whole time: ‘This is ridiculous, there’s no way a comfortable mattress could fit in a box this size.’ But we get the best sleep ever. It’s fabulous.” —December 2020

Courteney Cox
“Because this is technically a travel pillow, it’s kind of small. I take it whenever I go see my partner, Johnny, or stay in a hotel. I never use the pillows they give you. But I also sleep with it every night. I just don’t enjoy a big pillow. I have two on my bed and two for travel. I really like the feel of goose-down pillows. Latex or foam just doesn’t feel the same.” —March 2022

Erin Andrews
“I can’t do hotel pillows. I don’t feel like they have enough support. I usually get a neck ache or headache and I can’t sleep. These have a divot for your head, and they’re so supportive. They hold your neck and head properly and you feel like you get a great night’s sleep. You can roll it up and put it into a little cylinder holder, like a travel pouch.” —February 2023

Kyra Sedgwick
“I’ve heard Sharon Stone says the reason she has no wrinkles is that she sleeps on her back. I have tried and tried, but there’s some little baby thing that makes me want to be curled into my body with my hands under my chin. The cleavage pillow is something I’ve put on every night for the past 15 years or so. It basically creates a separation for your boobs so when you wake up in the morning, you don’t have big, deep creases between your boobs and your décolleté. It’s the most important secret of all. Young people: Start early.” —August 2024

Sleepmasks

May Hong
“I can’t seem to sleep in without an eye mask anymore. While I absolutely need the eye wells for comfort, I hate the ones that look like a bra for your head. This is a perfect balance of a cute classic eye mask with the crucial eyeball space.” —October 2025

Emma Chamberlain
“The mask makes sure no light keeps me up. It’s also the best mask for my sensitive skin; I’ve found that when you sleep for 12 hours on a plane, certain materials will dig into your face and leave nasty marks or irritate the skin. This one is so soft, which makes it relaxing, too. It’s breathable and I don’t break out after.” —November 2020

Rebecca Black
“This sleep mask is the most obnoxious, giant sleep mask I’ve ever seen. It’s like a giant pillow for your eyes. It completely blacks everything out without squeezing your head. I also really like it because I have bangs, and the mask lifts my bangs off of my face while I’m sleeping and keeps them from getting a little greasy.” —February 2025

Kathryn Hahn
“I never knew there were specific pillows and masks for side sleepers. A regular eye mask just has an elastic band around your head, but this one is cushioned all the way around, so it’s super-comfortable when I’m lying on my side. It feels like heaven or like I’m in one of those sensory-deprivation tanks. And if I put earplugs in, forget it — it’s like I’m in outer space.” —April 2021

Natasha Rothwell
“I wasn’t always a sleep-mask girlie. I actually got gifted one of these; I subsequently bought ten. I take them everywhere when I travel. It’s just the softest thing to put against your face. The silk goes all the way around, so it doesn’t mess up my hair. It doesn’t have the harsh edges of other eye masks. You get the full coverage.” —January 2025

Abby Elliott
“I had a period where I was wearing another eye mask that was too tight and got ocular headaches from it. This one’s really comfortable, adjustable, and blocks out all light.” —June 2023

Frankie Grande
“I live in Times Square. It’s a very bright environment and light comes in 24 hours a day. This really helps me fall asleep at night because it’s comfortable and 100 percent blackout. It has little scoops where it covers my eyes, so my lashes and eye makeup don’t get screwed up and makeup doesn’t transfer on the mask too terribly.” —January 2024

Pajamasandothersleepclothes

Diane von Furstenberg
“I sleep in these, and they’re very soft. You feel very clean in them. They’re thin, and they’re embroidered, and they’re very pretty. The kurta is the most common thing in India. Men wear it, women wear it. I own hundreds, hundreds. Those are things I have in every one of my houses.” —January 2026

[Editor’s note: Lal Behari Tandon lists all prices in rupees; we’ve made an approximate conversion to U.S. dollars.]

Isabelle Huppert
“I have cold feet, so I need very warm socks, especially to sleep. They’re almost like slippers, actually. They’re not fully socks to wear with shoes, but you can walk in houses with them, and they keep your feet really warm during winter, wherever you find yourself.” —November 2024

[Editor’s note: Huppert’s bought a striped pair that’s currently unavailable, so we linked to a similar pair.]

Earplugs,earbuds,andnoise-cancellingheadphones

Gabrielle Hamilton
“Sleep is very important, but I’ve been bad at it pretty much my whole life. It took me forever to figure this out, but putting in these noise-canceling earbuds and playing my bedtime audiobook helps me sleep six full hours for the first time in my adult life. I can’t hear the dog, I can’t hear the door opening and closing, I can’t hear anyone getting up to use the bathroom. They’re soft and comfortable in my ears, and they stay in all night.” —January 2026

Susan Orlean
“These are just for sleeping. I like to listen to true-crime podcasts to fall asleep, which I know suggests I’m a psychopath, but I’m not. I find them weirdly kind of soothing, and it really is just a voice talking in a rhythmic way. But sleeping, that’s a whole challenge. How do you fall asleep? If you’re sleeping with someone, you can’t just leave your phone on. Also, I’d rather have the sensation of someone whispering in my ear rather than turning my phone up. I tried a bunch of different versions of this, and these are the only ones I’ve ever found that are very comfortable. You can sleep with them. They last all night and they actually have very good sound.” —October 2025

Ray Chen
“Everyone’s ear shape is different, and I learned that my ear holes, especially the one on my right, is slightly larger. Normal earplugs would always fall out. These are just a lot bigger. When I was at the beginning of my tours, I was staying in very low-cost hotels where the walls were thin, and you could hear people in the hallways all the time. They became almost like a security blanket for my ears. Even in my own bed, I still have them now, and if one falls out in the middle of the night for some reason, I get a little anxiety.” —July 2025

Margaret Cho
“These earplugs are the best. They’re kind of sticky, like silicone, and they really conform to the inside of your ear and really block out sound.” —March 2025

Lisa Loeb
“These earplugs are a way for me to control my surroundings and actually sleep when I need to, whether I’m on the road, sleeping in a hotel, sleeping on a tour bus, or even sleeping in my own house with different people on different bedtimes and wake-up times or naps. They block out enough sound where you really can’t hear what’s going on around you, but say, when my kids were babies, if they were to cry or if somebody were to say, ‘Mom,’ or the alarm went off in the house, or if there’s anything you need to hear, you will wake up.” —December 2024

Jenny Lewis
“I dated someone who was a real snorer, so in order to have a healthy relationship, you need to put those earplugs in or you’re going to be real mad.” —June 2023

Sleepgadgetsandaccessories

Ashley Park
“I was scared of getting an Oura ring for a long time because I was like,If I didn’t get good sleep, am I going to think I’m sick or get in my head about it?But it’s been very helpful, especially when I’m traveling or on different time zones — I get excited about getting a good sleeping score.” —May 2025

Robin Arzón
“I recently got my Oura ring and I’m totally obsessed with it. I’m a classic Virgo, A student, and I think my trepidation initially was I didn’t wanna get bad scores when I lead a very physically demanding life. So I was thinking,Oh gosh, if my HRV is trash or if it says I didn’t sleep well, what am I gonna do? Like not teach a Peloton class or not parent my kids?But I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to not only train with it but also use the data points selectively. And a side note to the Oura ring: Logan Hollowell is a jeweler. She sells fine jewelry that goes over the Oura ring, and Iordered myself one. It’s like a full-on golden diamond ring that goes over the Oura ring.” —February 2026

Santigold
“I really haven’t been sleeping well for the last four years, since I had my twins. Somebody told me to get the Oura to see why I then had chronic exhaustion. It shows you how much and what kind of sleep you’re getting; I realized I was getting less than five hours a night for extended periods. I’m someone who tends to override their body when I’m pushing it beyond its limit. So this ring is my partner in helping me not do that.” —September 2022

Jake Shane
“My Eight Sleep mattress topper; it’s like an Oura ring for your body. It tracks your sleep and it changes temperature, so it puts me to bed cold and wakes me up warm. If you have a partner, each side of the bed can be different temperatures. You can also set a body alarm so the entire thing wakes you up with vibrations. It’s been a game changer for me. I get a sleep-fitness score every morning.” —September 2025

Savannah James
“I was already looking into mouth taping for the potential benefits of helping your immune system and being good for your teeth and helping you breathe more easily while you sleep. I went with Say Less because it’s so cute. It’s in a lip shape and it comes in different skin tones, which I think is a really cool concept. I’m one of those crazy people who tracks how much REM sleep I’m getting, how much deep sleep I’m getting. I’ve been using it for about a year or so now, and I really do feel like there has been a difference in my sleep quality.” —August 2025

Ego Nwodim
“When I get in bed, I put this on, and I’m in heaven. It’s one of my nighttime rituals that helps me go to sleep. I travel with it, and it’s not travel size. It’s regular size, so I find room in my suitcase to squeeze it in. My last one broke, so I immediately bought another one. It’s my version of an adult teddy bear.” —June 2025

Julianne Nicholson
“I have no trouble actually falling asleep, but I often wake up through the night. When that happens, I push the buttons and this starts vibrating. The vibrations are supposed to help calm the nervous system. I don’t know whether it’s the actual vibrations or just the belief in it, but it helps me fall back asleep better than other sleep aids I’ve tried. It’s heaven sent.” —June 2024

Joey Fatone
“It’s almost like a little AC unit that cools your bed. You can even travel with it. I mean, you would need a bigger suitcase, but it’s doable. It goes in between the sheets, so it kind of puffs up when you’re lying in bed. The cool thing is that it has a dual sheet, so if your spouse or whoever you’re sleeping next to you wants to be warm and you want it cold, it can adjust the airflow and temperature on each side.” —April 2024

Eva Mendes
“One of the things somebody told me about when I had our first baby was “Oh, you have to get a white-noise machine.” It helped because you can have a conversation in the other room and you won’t wake up the baby. There’s something really soothing about it. I used it for both my babies to get them through those really tough, first four months. Then I realized it was really helping me as well. So I take two everywhere I go.” —February 2023

Emma Roberts
“I originally got this for my son. Then I got so used to hearing it that I would go into my bedroom to sleep and be like,It’s so quiet in here. That’s how I first got into it. I was on location a couple months later and could hear traffic outside, so I got into it even more, because it would drown that out. Now my son and I can’t sleep without it. We both have our own sound machine and love it. It’s so soothing and lulls me to sleep. And it’s easy. You just plug it in and turn it on.” —June 2022

Addison Rae
“I use my diffuser every night — I feel like it’s more natural than a candle, and there’s no smoke residue. To go to sleep, I like to use it with lavender or tea-tree oil. This diffuser has a timer so I can set it to stay on pretty much throughout the night.” —August 2020

Supplementsandothersleepremedies

Flynn McGarry
“In my industry, a huge problem is that you finish work at midnight and you have so much adrenaline. I started to take these baths because it was the only way to wind down — other than going out or adding to your night. I think of it as half-sleeping. I can’t go to sleep even though I need to go to sleep, but I can take an Epsom-salt bath at the end of my day and it can bring me down to a place where then I can go to sleep.” —October 2025

Chelsea Handler
“With these patches, there’s ones for energy, for focus, for sleep, for peace, for calm, and for waking up. You put them on the inside of your wrist. I’ll use them if I need an extra boost or if I need extra help sleeping. If I’m pretty wired from the day, I’ll put a sleep one on at night, too.” —March 2025

Juliette Lewis
“I didn’t want to bombard this feature with all the vitamins I take, so I chose one. L-tryptophan is an amino acid. It’s what you find in turkey when people feel tired after eating a lot of it during Thanksgiving. It’s a natural sleep aid and natural muscle relaxer, so it helps in the evening when you want to relax and fall asleep.” —May 2024

Abby Elliott
“I’m 36 weeks pregnant right now, and I discovered these gummies during this pregnancy. I was looking for something that would help me sleep and saw these on Amazon. I was drinking a fizzy powder magnesium before, but these do the trick and are much easier. And they taste great. I just pop two of them and I’m able to sleep.” —June 2023

Annie Murphy
“I don’t love taking melatonin a ton, and I don’t like sleeping pills. I can get groggy from it, so I love a good cup of tea before bed. This is a sleepy-time tea, but then there’s something else in it. It’s the mysterious ‘extra’ in the title. I don’t know what it is, but it really doubles down on the sleepy.” —April 2023

Rob Lowe
“I travel with these and I take one about 20 minutes before I go to sleep. It just takes a little bit of the edge off and shuts my mind down just a smidge, and off I go. I don’t know what they’ve figured out to put in it, but I feel like I get better results than just taking a melatonin pill. There’s no hangover; there’s no weirdness. I don’t feel like it’s a sleep aid whatsoever.” —February 2023

Sean Paul
“A decade or so ago, I was on tour in Lebanon, couldn’t sleep, and found some chamomile tea. I drank two cups and I was knocked out. I was like, ‘Hey, that was pretty cool.’ Now I drink a cup every night. It helps me relax and not think about all of the issues that are running around in my head. ”—August 2021
