The New York Times - Our new favorite bedside lamps
While any table lamp will cover your most basic illumination needs, bedside lamps are expected to do so much more: help you seamlessly settle in for sleep, while also gently illuminating the room when you need to wake up in the middle of the night. A stable base (for all us tossers and turners), a shade that efficiently diffuses light, and dimmability or smart-bulb compatibility are musts. Also: a cord that’s a minimum of five feet long. Keeping all this in mind, we tested more than a dozen models and found a few that produce a Goldilocks amount of light—and look good doing it. We independently review everything we recommend. When you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Learn more ›
Microplastics are everywhere, and while it’s impossible to avoid them entirely, there are small changes you can make to reduce your exposure. This week on The Wirecutter Show, sustainability editor Katie Okamoto gets into some of the simplest ones. For starters? Avoid reheating your leftovers in plastic containers. And opt for a reusable water bottle and quality water filter (the plastic Brita pitcher is fine!) to cut down on bottled water. Listen now on: Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
If this cooler weather has you ready to switch your bedding to something cozier, we recommend this high-quality down comforter. This lofty and durable blanket is one of our top picks, because it’s fluffy, lightweight, and very warm on a chilly night—and won’t cause you to overheat. Right now, all sizes are on sale with promo code WC27. Oh, and these lovely, breathable sheets are on sale right now, too. You can reach the Wirecutter Newsletters team at newsletters@wirecutter.com. We can’t always respond, but we do love to hear from you. Was this email kindly forwarded to you? Sign up here to get this newsletter in your inbox.
