It’s easy enough for newbies to use, yet provides all the advanced features and security the more technically inclined will appreciate. Goodbye, “password123.”

Our experts have been rigorously testing Brooklinen’s products for years, and many of them consistently beat out their competition, thanks to their thoughtful designs and good quality. If you’re anti-Amazon but still in the market for deals this week, we think Brooklinen’s sitewide sale is worth a peruse.

Using the promo code WCPRIME25 will get you 25% off anything, but if you want a few recs: This classic duvet cover has been a favorite of ours since 2016, because it’s soft, comfortable and comes in stylish prints. (We especially like it for anyone moving into a dorm this summer, because it’s durable enough to easily last through college.) We love this waffle robe for hot-weather lounging. And our experts say this soft velour and sand-shedding terry weave towel is the very best for the beach.
