For sleep, should you heat the bed or the bedroom?

A timer, automatic shut-off and a flat, undamaged blanket matter more than extra heat settings. Choose room heating when the bedroom itself is cold, damp or shared by people with different needs.

Your pillow should fit your posture, not feel fluffy

Side sleepers need height, stomach sleepers barely any, back sleepers something in between. Materials decide how long that support lasts. Day-one fluffiness says nothing about night 300.
