Good Gear editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.

I’ll be honest, I’m a bit of a skeptic when it comes to fancy wellness tech and “smart” products that promise to enhance my life. After working as a commerce editor for the past decade, though, I’ve gotten pretty good at sifting through the hype. There are a lot of wellness products out there, and most of them aren’t things I’d want taking up space in my home. The ones that stick around are the ones that genuinely make a difference—the products I find myself reaching for again and again, or the ones my husband and I swear by so much that we end up passing them around to friends. (Our Normatec boots are a good example. I’m honestly not even sure which one of our friends has them right now.)

I still follow the less-is-more rule when it comes to wellness. I’d much rather invest in a few really good products that we’ll use regularly and keep for years than constantly buy the next gadget promising to optimize my sleep, recovery, or health. In our house, that looks like a cooling mattress, the depuffing wand I’ve started using regularly as a new mom, my smart ring, and our cold plunge that lives in the garage (yes, we are those people). These are the kinds of products that have actually earned their place in our routines.

Below, I’ve rounded up the wellness products that our editors have found actually worth the investment, with help from the rest of our team, who each have their own tried-and-true favorites they’ve personally vetted and keep coming back to. We update this list regularly as we test new products and find things worth recommending, so bookmark it for the next time you’re in the market for a new wellness device.

Note: Many of these brands offer payment plans, discounts for first responders/health workers, and regular sales throughout the year. And most are eligible for HSA or FSA spending, so make sure you check before buying!
