Valerian root is an herb sold in supplements and teas for sleep. Evidence about whether it helps sleep is inconsistent, and it has not been established as an effective treatment for chronic insomnia. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health reports that the American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommended against using it for chronic insomnia in adults.
Ask a healthcare professional before using it, especially if you take medications or other supplements. Avoid combining valerian with alcohol or sedatives.
What the research says
Studies use different valerian preparations, doses and measures, making findings hard to compare. NCCIH describes the evidence for sleep problems as inconsistent and says there is not enough evidence to draw conclusions about anxiety. A historical reputation or an individual testimonial does not establish effectiveness.
Scientists have investigated possible effects on brain signaling, but the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements says there is no scientific agreement on its mechanism of action.
What is valerian root?
Valeriana officinalis is a plant whose root is sold in capsules, extracts and teas. Products can vary in ingredients and concentration, so findings from one preparation should not automatically be applied to another.
What to check on a supplement label
Identify the plant, amount, form and other active ingredients; some products combine several herbs.
Check the manufacturer, batch information and any relevant independent quality testing.
Review warnings and discuss the product with a clinician or pharmacist, particularly if you take medication.
A supplement label or quality seal does not prove that a product will treat insomnia. There is no standard dose established here for treating a sleep disorder.
Other options for persistent insomnia
If difficulty sleeping persists or affects your daytime life, seek an evaluation. The NIH describes cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) as a usual first treatment for long-term insomnia. A clinician can also assess other factors such as sleep apnea, medicines, pain or stress.
Safety and interactions
NCCIH reports that short-term use appears generally safe for most adults, but long-term safety is uncertain. Possible effects include headache, stomach upset, mental dullness, excitability and vivid dreams. Rare liver injury has been reported, often alongside other herbs; causation and long-term effects remain uncertain.
Do not combine valerian with alcohol or sedatives. It may add to sedating effects of some medications or supplements. Bring a complete medication and supplement list to a clinician or pharmacist before use. Safety in pregnancy and breastfeeding is not well established, and use in children requires medical guidance.
If you have used valerian regularly for a long time, ask a clinician about stopping; NCCIH notes that withdrawal symptoms have been reported after abrupt discontinuation following chronic use.
Frequently asked questions
Does valerian root reliably improve sleep?
The evidence is inconsistent. It has not been established as an effective treatment for chronic insomnia.
Is valerian safe with alcohol or sleep medication?
It should not be combined with alcohol or sedatives. Ask a clinician or pharmacist about your specific medicines and supplements.
Is valerian safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Safety is not well established. Seek medical advice before use.
What is recommended for long-term insomnia?
NIH describes CBT-I as a usual first treatment. A healthcare professional can recommend an evaluation and options tailored to you.

BEDGEAR M3 review: its strongest feature is changeable support
The M3 is worth considering for couples who want different support on each side and the option to change that support later. Its modular coil system is the reason to put it on your shortlist. Before paying a premium for that flexibility, check the price and availability of the exact mattress configuration and replacement parts you would use.
The earlier M3 review focused on its modular coil system, separate firmness selections, cooling cover and premium construction. The practical appeal was a mattress whose support could adapt to two sleepers rather than forcing a single firmness compromise.
The original article also highlighted a cool-to-the-touch surface and breathable construction. Those observations explain the design’s appeal; they do not establish measured overnight temperature reduction or guarantee that every sleeper will stay cool.
Archived BEDGEAR M3 product image. Current materials and appearance may differ.
How the M3’s firmness system works
BEDGEAR’s Independent Suspension units replace the coil support on one side of a compatible mattress. A replacement unit is not a complete mattress or a topper. Confirm the size and generation before purchasing.
Module label
Manufacturer’s firmness description
0.0
Firm
1.0
Medium Firm
2.0
Medium Plush
3.0
Plush
These numbers identify BEDGEAR configurations; they are not Yawnder firmness scores on a ten-point scale. A higher number here means a softer option. Changing the coil unit changes underlying support, while the comfort layer above it also affects how the mattress feels.
For couples: select the left and right sides deliberately and confirm how the seller defines each side. Different support modules do not automatically mean two separately moving mattress halves. If you need independent head elevation, ask about the exact split or split-head configuration and base compatibility.
Current construction and care
The current M3 product page describes a removable Ver-Tex cooling cover, perforated Boost foam comfort layer, interchangeable coil units and a ventilated Air-X chassis. This is a foam-and-coil hybrid, with replaceable components forming its central design.
BEDGEAR describes the top cover as washable. Follow the sewn-in care label for your specific version; permission to wash a removable cover does not mean the foam or complete mattress can be washed. Ask which parts are included if purchasing a replacement component.
Our preserved material does not provide a standardized current-model edge-support, motion-isolation or durability score. Evaluate those qualities in your selected setup, especially if you sit at the edge frequently or share the bed with a restless sleeper.
Returns: opened and unopened mattresses have different windows
The direct refund policy describes replacing the Independent Suspension on one side within 30 days of delivery if the M3 is not comfortable. If that change still does not work, the policy describes a refund less a $199 end-of-life fee.
The product page summarizes the opened-M3 return window as 30 days. The 100-day window applies to unopened mattresses, and the refund policy says return shipping is the customer’s responsibility. Contact BEDGEAR promptly to confirm authorization, deadlines and total costs; do not assume a 100-night opened-mattress trial.
Separately purchased modules have their own terms: the component page lists a 20% fee for opened-unit returns within 30 days of purchase and free unopened returns within 100 days. Confirm these terms before ordering extra firmness units.
Warranty: complete mattress vs. separate components
BEDGEAR lists a ten-year limited manufacturer warranty for the complete M3. Its published M3 warranty document distinguishes that from one-year coverage for separately purchased components. Keep the receipt and verify the warranty version supplied with your order. Retail purchases should be handled through the seller’s stated process.
Warranty coverage concerns qualifying defects, rather than a promise of comfort or a predicted service life. If buying through a retailer, obtain that retailer’s return policy as well; the direct website’s offer should not be assumed to apply.
Is the M3 worth considering?
The most persuasive reason is the ability to change each sleeper’s support without automatically replacing the whole mattress. Balance that benefit against the initial price, replacement-part costs and short opened-mattress return window. Confirm your exact size, both firmness selections and availability before checkout.

Hathaspace HSP002: current model and specifications
Hathaspace’s Smart True HEPA Air Purifier 2.0 is identified as HSP002. The manufacturer describes five-stage filtration, automatic and sleep modes and an H13 HEPA filter. The 1,500-sq-ft marketing coverage refers to about one air change per hour, not rapid cleaning of every room of that size.
Particle clean air delivery
Manufacturer manual: approximately 450 cubic meters per hour (PM CADR), under stated conditions
Manufacturer coverage
Up to about 1,500 sq ft for one air change per hour; more frequent air changes require smaller coverage
Filter replacement
Approximately every four months or when the device indicates, depending on actual use
Filter care
Do not wash the disposable main HEPA filter or immerse it in water; use only compatible replacement media
Noise on high
Manufacturer manual lists up to approximately 66 dBA; not independently remeasured by Yawnder
Manufacturer warranty
HSP002 lists a five-year limited warranty, subject to proof of purchase and stated exclusions

Original Yawnder hands-on review
These are the original reviewer’s impressions of the Hathaspace unit supplied at the time. Assembly, filter layout, packaging and subjective room feel are useful evidence of that sample. They are not controlled pollutant-removal measurements or proof the current HSP002 has every historical feature.
I received the Hathaspace Smart True HEPA Air Purifier for review. I liked its simple controls, filter arrangement and automatic mode. These are my observations of the version I used, not independently measured room-wide pollutant-removal results.
Ordering the Hathaspace Smart True Hepa Air Purifier
Mine arrived from Hathaspace in under a week and was packaged well. Delivery time and buying terms can vary by seller and date.
How Much Does it Cost?
At the time of my original review the price was about $399, with a separate filter-subscription offer. Those figures and the old trial are historical; check the current price, replacement-filter cost and seller’s terms.
Overview of the Hathaspace Air Purifier
Here's a video overview of the device. In the video, you can see how easy it is to change and replace the filter and how loud the device can get on its highest setting which will most likely be rarely used.
Construction of the Hathaspace Air Purifier
My Hathaspace Findings
There's really not much to get this setup. There are instructions but the most important is to remove the plastic wrapping from the filter itself before operating.
This is the second 5 stage air purifier I have tried and I am a convert to this technology. I noticed a difference in the room within minutes after turning this on. That was a subjective impression, not an instrumented air-quality test. Here's a look at each filter.
The black grid is the pre-filter, which captures larger particles. This is a washable filter and to clean it you just need to run it under the sink and use a light scrub brush with a little bit of soap and then let air dry before re-attaching.
The blue filter is the polypropylene prefilter which captures bigger particles so the HEPA filter can run more efficiently. Behind this filter is the HEPA filter which blocks smaller particles. There are tabs at the top that make it easy to remove from the device when it comes time to replace it.
There's also a carbon filter inside that traps odors.
The backside of this is the cold carbon filter. This was the final stage of the filtration process; carbon can reduce some gases and odors, depending on the filter and conditions.
I like that the filters are all put together in one container. When it comes time to replace it, you simply take it out and put back one piece. On the version I tried, I cleaned the pre-filter and wiped down the outer container. Follow the current manual: replace the main filter as directed rather than washing it unless the manufacturer specifically permits it.
My Hathaspace Smart True Hepa Air Purifier Recommendation
At the time, I considered the purifier a good value. I did not measure pollutant removal or compare its noise and cleaning performance in a controlled test. It is very intuitive to operate as it has an automatic mode that will detect air quality and adjust the fan as needed. There's even a night mode that will turn off all the display lights if you keep it in your bedroom. The overall design is sleek and modern so it won't look awkward in your living room.
As we are spending more time indoors it's important that we have an optimal environment for health and productivity. Cleaner indoor air can be valuable, but a purifier alone cannot guarantee better health or prevent illness.
A particle filter can capture airborne dust, pollen and other particles passing through it. Activated carbon can reduce some odors and gases, but performance depends on the pollutant and amount of carbon. No purifier removes every pollutant, eliminates every odor or guarantees protection from illness. It does not replace ventilation or remove the carbon dioxide people exhale.
Hathaspace’s HSP002 replacement-filter page lists an H13 filter. Its product page discusses scheduled delivery and replacement roughly every four months. Check current stock, price, subscription cancellation and return terms before ordering; your usage and air conditions may affect replacement needs.
Hathaspace currently lists a five-year limited warranty for HSP002 in its model-specific policy. Check registration, proof of purchase, exclusions and authorized sellers before ordering.
How to compare this purifier with others
Question
What to compare
Room size
Particle CADR for the room and ceiling height, at the fan speed you will use
Filters
Particle filtration, carbon amount, compatible replacements and total annual cost
Bedroom use
Noise and display brightness at your chosen speed
Other technologies
Check the exact model’s filtration method and any ozone or ionizer features
For another design, read our Molekule review. Technology and performance claims are model-specific; we did not perform a controlled head-to-head test for this article.
For bedrooms, compare published smoke/particle CADR at the speed you can tolerate with a correctly sized HEPA unit. Gas and odor performance is separate from particle CADR, and a purifier cannot remove exhaled CO₂ or fix mold-causing moisture.
Its particle filter is designed to capture airborne particles that pass through the device. It cannot remove all settled dust or every allergen in a room.
Does it remove carbon dioxide?
No. A particle filter does not remove exhaled CO₂; ventilation is needed for that.
Can I wash the HEPA filter?
Follow the manual for the exact filter. Do not wash a disposable filter unless the manufacturer says it is washable.
Is 1,500 square feet the right size for every home?
The brand’s figure uses one air change per hour. Compare CADR and the cleaning rate you want for your own space; lower fan speeds move less air.
Is the HSP002 certified in California?
CARB lists HSP002 as a certified mechanical air cleaner; CARB certification does not establish how effectively it removes pollutants.
The older Hathaspace purifier made a positive impression for ease of use and accessible filters, while the current HSP002 offers a different published model with a stated filter replacement schedule and warranty. Shop by model-specific CADR, room size, noise and replacement costs. The historical first-person account is not evidence of tested removal of every pollutant or clinical improvement.

Hi, I’m Ben Trapskin. The right mattress pad depends on the problem you are trying to solve: a little surface cushioning, spills, nighttime warmth or a cooler-feeling bed. A thin quilted pad will not transform a sagging mattress, and a waterproof protector is not automatically a cooling system.
Yawnder’s previous coverage includes hands-on experience with Eight Sleep. Current model details below come from manufacturer listings; our past experience should not be read as a separate test of every current version. Product details checked October 26, 2026. Some links may earn Yawnder a commission.
Choose by the job you need done
A little softer: start with a quilted pad.
Protect against spills: select a product explicitly labeled waterproof and check coverage.
A more noticeable feel change: compare a thicker mattress topper.
Active temperature control: compare a powered water or air system and its ongoing costs.
Winter warmth: a heated pad is an option; follow its model-specific safety and washing instructions.

Active cooling and heating options
Eight Sleep Pod: powered water-based control
The Pod uses a cover and hub to adjust bed temperature. Our earlier Eight Sleep testing informs the value of having active control, particularly when partners have different preferences. The current Pod 6 listing describes individual-side heating and cooling; check the exact model, compatible mattress dimensions, app features, membership cost and maintenance requirements before buying.
Tradeoff: It costs substantially more than a passive fabric pad and needs electricity, space for a hub and care. Performance and sleep outcomes vary; it should not be presented as a guaranteed change to core body temperature.
BedJet uses a bedside unit and hose to move air into the bed, rather than placing water channels in a mattress cover. The manufacturer offers different setups; separate zones and an appropriate sheet can add to the total. A fan may be audible, and the cooling effect depends on room conditions. BedJet states it is not a substitute for air conditioning in very hot bedrooms.
Sleepme lists Chilipad 2.0 in one- and two-sleeper configurations and advertises no subscription fees for the system. Compare its pad, control unit, maintenance and total package price with Eight Sleep. Check fit and the manufacturer’s current trial and warranty terms for your exact purchase.
Perfectly Snug Smart Topper: airflow through a topper
Perfectly Snug’s Smart Topper uses airflow through the sleep surface and is offered in single- and dual-zone configurations. It is a powered topper rather than a thin quilted pad. Compare its added height, fan sound and setup with a water-based system before deciding.
A heated mattress pad can warm a cold bed at a lower upfront cost than an active cooling system, but it does not cool. Compare controls, automatic shutoff, size and care instructions for the exact model. Never assume all heated pads can be washed, folded or used on an adjustable base; follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Quilted comfort pads
Saatva Organic Mattress Pad: cotton cushioning
Saatva describes a diamond-quilted organic-cotton pad with cotton-blend sides and a fit up to 16 inches. It is a light comfort layer for shoppers who prefer a cotton surface, not a thick foam topper or a guaranteed waterproof barrier. The brand lists GOTS certification; verify the current product label and size.
Cozy Earth describes its pad as bamboo-derived viscose with light padding. Its listing says it fits mattresses up to 20 inches, while its size chart gives specific dimensions; check the exact size and measure your mattress. The manufacturer’s care instructions include a rinse cycle without spin and low-heat or hang drying. Confirm whether you need a separate waterproof layer.
Viscose can feel smooth, but a passive fabric cannot actively set bed temperature. Its feel and warmth depend on the complete bedding setup.
Cariloha’s quilted protector combines a padded surface and a waterproof layer.
Cariloha lists a bamboo-viscose top, down-alternative batting and TPU waterproof coating. The brand describes five-sided protection across the top and four sides. That makes it a useful product to compare when you want a little quilting and a stated spill barrier together. Check current sizes, pocket fit and instructions; the bottom is not described as waterproof coverage.
SafeRest describes this fitted protector as waterproof, machine washable and sized for mattresses up to 18 inches deep. Check the particular model and its coverage if you need a fully zippered encasement rather than a fitted protector.
Measure the mattress. Include pillow tops and any topper, then compare the total with the manufacturer’s pocket-depth guidance.
Check the actual protection. “Pad,” “protector” and “topper” overlap. Not all pads or protectors are waterproof, and fitted styles do not fully enclose the mattress.
Consider feel and temperature. Quilt thickness, fill, waterproof backing, sheets and room temperature all affect the experience.
Read the care label. Follow the exact washing and drying instructions; high heat can damage some membranes. Powered systems have their own maintenance rules.
Review return terms. Bedding and toppers may have different policies from mattresses and may be final sale at some sellers.
If you have a split adjustable bed, check whether two Twin XL pads work better than one king and whether the layers can move independently. For spills or kids and pets, verify which sides are covered and whether the protector fits over the full mattress depth.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a pad, protector and topper?
A pad usually adds light cushioning, a protector focuses on guarding the mattress, and a topper usually changes the feel more substantially. Many products combine functions; inspect the actual features.
Do bamboo or cotton pads actively cool?
No. They can affect how a surface feels and breathes, but they do not provide powered temperature control. Experience depends on the rest of the bed and bedroom.
Does a waterproof protector guarantee my mattress warranty?
No. It can help protect against spills, but coverage depends on the product, correct use and the mattress warranty’s written terms.
Can a mattress pad fix a sagging bed?
No. It can change the surface slightly but cannot repair a failing mattress or foundation.
How often should I wash it?
Follow the care label and clean promptly after spills. Frequency depends on use and the product; check special instructions for waterproof or powered systems.

Quick verdict: The original Parachute mattress combined wool and coils without conventional polyurethane comfort foam. It has a more responsive feel than deeply contouring memory foam; compare current specifications before buying.
Yawnder Reviews · Original review material restored September 2026
Original wool-and-coil construction
The Parachute mattress page had lost much of the original natural-material construction discussion.
Foam-free approach
The reviewed Parachute mattress was built without conventional polyurethane comfort foam. It relied on wool and steel coils to create cushioning and support.
Full-size delivery
Unlike many online mattresses, the original model was delivered full-size with white-glove setup rather than compressed into a box.
Coil-based feel
Without thick memory foam, the mattress had a more traditional responsive feel with easier movement and less deep body hug.
Natural upholstery
Wool served as both a comfort material and part of the fire-barrier strategy, making the construction fundamentally different from foam-heavy boxed mattresses.
Why the old article mattered
Parachute entered mattresses from the premium bedding category, and the original review explained how that textile/natural-material emphasis translated into the bed itself.
Original overview image.
Current-shopping note
Parachute has changed or discontinued mattress models over time. Verify current availability and construction; this page preserves the original foam-free mattress context.
No wall color is proven to reliably improve everyone’s sleep. Choose paint for the atmosphere you enjoy and focus on a comfortable, dark and quiet room. Wall color is a design choice; the brightness and timing of light reaching your eyes are separate questions.
Bedroom color is a personal design choice. Research does not establish that a particular wall color reliably improves sleep. Pick a shade you enjoy, and give more attention to the room’s light, noise and temperature. Explore our bedroom plant guide for more ideas.
Here are seven bedroom colors to consider, based on the atmosphere you want.
White
White is the color associated with peace and serenity. A room painted white looks fresh and clean, which is calming and restful to weary eyes and soul. Besides, a white room can also be decorated in endless ways, adding florals and lace, or clean lines and contemporary furnishings for different looks.
Blue
There are several calming things associated with blue — from a clear sky to a waterfront. Many people enjoy blue in a bedroom, but that preference does not prove blue paint improves sleep. Setting up the room to look like a sky or a beach can also amp up the relaxation factor.
Beige
This is a truly neutral color, right after white. When choosing beige as your bedroom paint color, stick to warmer tones such as straw and sand since these shades make the room glow in the lamplight and also reflect the sun to brighten the room.
Sagegreen
The latest rage in paint colors these days is sage green, and it isn’t completely unfounded. Sage green is a color associated with nature – think grass, gardens, trees. And as we all know, nature is calming and soothing more than anything else. Pair sage green with white or honey tones for a nature-inspired look.
Pink
If you thought pink is only for children and women, think again. Pink can create a soft look; whether it feels calming is a matter of preference. When barely-there pink is mixed with other colors like white and silver, it creates a soft look for the room.
Lavender
Another color from the purple family, lavender can be a soft accent or wall color. Evidence does not establish that lavender paint improves sleep or creativity. When paired with white, lavender makes pretty bedroom decor for a softer look.
Gray
The color is usually associated with a gloomy, rainy day when you just want to stay in bed. Gray can be a neutral backdrop; choose the undertone you like and test a sample in your room.
Paint color alone is not a proven sleep intervention. Choose the room you enjoy, then consider your mattress, light and noise for comfort.
What the evidence says about light and sleep
Wall paint and the light reaching your eyes are different questions. There is limited direct evidence that one bedroom paint color improves sleep. Choose colors based on what you find pleasant.
Light exposure has a clearer relationship with the body clock. The CDC explains that blue and blue-containing white light in sensitive evening hours can suppress melatonin and shift circadian timing. Brightness, duration and timing also matter.
For sleep, keep the room as dark as practical. If you need a light to navigate at night, the CDC suggests a dim red nightlight. A relaxing bedtime routine and a comfortable room may help, but changing paint color is not a treatment for insomnia.
How to choose a bedroom color
Paint a sample and view it in daylight and under your evening bulbs. Consider the finish, how much light the room receives, and whether the color feels comfortable to you. White, blue, beige, sage, pink, lavender and gray are all design options rather than proven sleep rankings.

Frequently asked questions
What color is scientifically proven to help everyone sleep?
No single wall color is established as the best sleep color for everyone. Choose a shade you enjoy and test it under your room’s daytime and evening lighting.
Is blue paint the same as blue light?
No. A blue wall and light emitted by a screen or bulb are different things. Light reaching your eyes at night can affect alertness and the body clock; see the CDC’s guidance on light and sleep.
How can I choose a paint color?
Try sample swatches on more than one wall, look at them at different times of day, and compare them with your bedding and flooring before buying a full quantity.
