Since the Strategist launched, we’ve collectively slept on more than three dozen mattresses and over 20 types of linen sheets.

All of this research has culminated in the Strategist Sleep 100.

Some of sleep writer Amelia Jerden’s favorite entries: the eye mask Frankie Grande uses to block out the lights of Times Square, the inflatable knee pillow Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield always travels with, and the giant Miffy night light senior editor Jen Trolio has in her kids’ bedroom.
