20 Products AT Readers Couldn’t Stop Buying in 2023

A TikTok-viral product, this chic office chair features an extra wide seat that makes sitting cross-legged not only possible but comfortable. With a modern design and multiple color options, it's also a pick that will blend perfectly into most spaces. SEO commerce editor Sarah loves hers, writing, "This chair is as comfy as it looks. The seat is made from memory foam that is super supportive for both my hips and spine. And yes, with this chair I can finally sit 'crisscross applesauce' as I do my work."

As you're generally preparing your home for another change of seasons, remember to take a second look at your bedding — you could benefit from upgrading to this all-purpose blanket that is breathable enough for summer and insulating enough for winter. It's made from organic cotton, and shopping style editor Blair says it's one of her most cherished bedding finds. "What makes this comforter so vastly superior to all others I’ve tried is that Parachute has perfected the product to feel equal parts lightweight and cozy," Blair wrote. "That means whether you sleep warm, cool, solo, with a partner, #teamtopsheet or not, you can count on this quilt as a year-round necessity."

Don't let the space under your bathroom sink become a catch-all for junk and unused products. Another product rec from Sarah, this organizer is essentially a two-tiered caddy with a pull-out drawer that goes inside your cabinet. "I fit so much stuff in these organizers I couldn’t believe it," she wrote of her two caddies. "In fact, I was able to take extra items (like the various pieces of cleaning supplies I had lying around my bathroom) and finally fit them under my sink!" Plus, the caddy's minimalist white design looks quite stylish, even if you place it out of view.

Keeping your bathroom clean gets a whole lot easier with the soap-dispensing Scotch-Brite Dishwand that can get into the nooks and crannies that sponges can reach. "I like it because of its simple aesthetic and handy soap dispensing button. The firm yet bendy bristles get in between small tiles and scrub better than the average sponge," wrote contributor Jordan in her review. "Plus, at under $7, it’s inexpensive enough to keep in each bathroom of my home."

The best way to ensure you have all your travel essentials on hand that are by carrying this sleek and fashionable carry-on from Quince. The hard-shell suitcase made AT's MVPs a must-have for Mark, AT's director of commerce, after he took it on two trips. "The suitcase handled the 20-minute walk to Penn Station nicely, gliding smoothly across the bumpy pavement of the sidewalk and streets, and taking knocks from going up and down curbs like a champ," said Mark's review of the Quince suitcase. "Once on board my train, the lightweight luggage easily fit into the overhead compartment and still looked good as new."

It can be hard to find the sofa of your dreams, which is why you might opt for customizing your own. Benchmade Modern is one of our go-to places for that; they make the OG Couch Potato sofa, which boasts wide seats, a relaxed profile, and supportive foam cushions that make it a prime spot for socializing with family and friends. Best List editor Britt detailed the process of customizing and ordering her sofa in her review, and she couldn't be more thrilled with how the process culminated. "The cushions are marshmallowy soft and squeezable while also having ample support and comfort," she wrote of the final product. "You’ll also be happy to know that I’ve been able to keep the dog fur at bay for weeks with a quick swipe of my hand or pet hair roller."

If you like to promote airflow by leaving a door open during the warmer months, this retractable screen is the ideal solution for keeping bugs and pests at bay. All you have to do is snap the track into place and use the included hardware to keep the door firmly in the frame. "And when the weather cools, or you don’t need the screen in place anymore, just slide the door back into the frame and it remains out of the way," wrote contributor Olivia. "No need to uninstall the entire unit." What's more, the retractable screen is available in three colors and three heights, so you'll no doubt find one that fits your door.

The truth is, these vintage-inspired mugs are useful for more than just coffee. Their low, wide design also makes the great for snacks and breakfast meals, such as cereal, chia seed pudding, smoothie bowls, and much more. Contributor Sarah had to have them after seeing them in a handful of TikTok videos. "In addition to being sophisticated vessels for overnight oats, the mugs are flawless cups for iced coffee (swirling ice cubes and cream with the gold spoon is an ASMR trigger!), teas (a slice of lemon fits perfectly!), or cookies or berries," she wrote. "They also double as serving dishes for dips and mixed nuts when hosting guests." She also noted that the set of four mugs, which come with fitted lids and spoons, makes a wonderful gift.

When thinking about travel plans, you can't help but address your luggage situation. This hardcover rolling suitcase earned lots of devoted fans because it's incredibly tough, it has convenient features (such as a built-in lock), and its internal shelving system is top-notch. Best List editor Britt was seriously impressed by its functionality and storage capacity when she took it on a week-long trip. "The shelves expand, making everything inside accessible, so you don’t have to worry about unpacking to ensure that your clothes are neat and organized," Britt wrote. "Along with the shelving system, I found the zipper compartment… to be wonderfully spacious… Best of all, I didn’t have to force it closed!"

One thing Oprah Winfrey and our staffers have in common is our love for Cozy Earth products. Their waffle bath towels, in particular, have also been a mainstay in Blair's linen closet for a while now. "I was honestly still a little blown away by the softness of these waffled wonders in general," she wrote. "Basically, imagine your favorite blanket but in fast-drying towel form… that’s how good they feel. Made from a combination of viscose from bamboo and cotton, they’re the kind of towels that you actually want to wrap up — and stay — in." The towels also look incredibly high-end and come in five beautiful neutral colors.

Truth be told, the Nori press has been an AT editor and reader favorite for far longer than 2023. It's much more convenient to use for de-wrinkling your clothing than a steamer, which requires water and can be fairly bulky. Common irons are even bigger — not ideal travel or small-space companions. “As someone who lives in a studio apartment," Sarah wrote, "I’m precious about my space, so a traditional iron and ironing board setup was out of the picture. Enter the Nori press: Compact and shaped like an oversized hair straightener (a kitschy design I adore), this iron gets the job done with six fabric-specific heat settings and an easy-to-use design that takes all the fuss out of ironing.”

Contributor Quincy's review of this ornament storage box might be fairly new on our site, yet her foolproof organizer rec is already a hit with our readers. The box features five stackable bins and can hold up to 73 ornaments and pieces of decor. That's more than enough space for a standard-sized collection! "On either side of the bins is open storage you can organize into compartments with velcro dividers, which is probably my favorite feature — I’m all about versatility," Quincy wrote. "On the left side, I have two compartments: one for stockings and lights and another for my bulky stocking holders. On the right side is where I like to keep art and other decor like a tray for Santa’s cookies." In other words, you'll never run out of storage space for your ever-expanding Christmas decor collection.

We had a lot of fun testing and discovering Burrow's seating collection this year, though Maddie, AT's former deputy lifestyle editor, had been a fan of the brand's Range sectional even before that. She first came upon it online, but seeing how it fit into her space sealed the deal. "Eventually, I want to try reconfiguring it ... to make it into a super lounge-y loveseat," she wrote of the sofa's modular design. "But most importantly, this bad boy can change shape to fit seamlessly into my next home, no matter the layout of the room." In other words, this simple but sophisticated sectional is a must for those who move frequently or like to experiment with the look of their living space.

We were all about cabinet organizers this year, and this Amazon find just goes to show why. The multi-level shelf system is great at decluttering corners and freeing up counter space, regardless of whether you use it to store spices, coffee gear, or dry pantry goods. You can adjust it to use along straigt walls, too, and it has hooks for hanging smaller tools. Of course, you can always grab an extra corner organizer for the bathroom, too!

It takes a lot for a product to win a spot on our Best List, let alone for it to win the "Best Overall" category, but the Chill mattress managed to do just that thanks to its comfy, medium-firm construction and cooling outer layer. “It’s extremely comfortable, doesn’t move or bounce when your partner gets out of bed/moves around, and is very light/easy to move,” said Marisa, our sales research and consumer insights associate director. The mattress's combination of Perfect Fit memory foam and fabric-encased coils also provides back and hip support and relieves pressure points.

Everyone needs a versatile, year-round throw blanket in their bedding collection, and many readers found that in Muslin Comfort's 365 blanket. "Of all my blankets," wrote Best List editor Britt, "Muslin Comfort’s 365 blanket is the one that never ends up in the linen closet. I love it because it’s light enough to sleep under when it’s warm out and makes for a great extra layer of bedding when the weather cools down." Muslin is lightweight, temperature-regulating, and delicately soft and textured, making this blanket practical no matter the temperature or time of year.

We covered a lot of rug collaborations in 2023, but Emily Henderson's collab with Rugs USA was especially popular among AT readers. We don't blame you; who wouldn't want this "Scandinavian farmhouse" stunner in their foyer or living room? The Merrick rug is awash with subtle yet eye-catching details. Each low-pile stripe, for example, has its own black-and-white pattern as an added textural touch. Made from cotton, polyester, and wool, the rug is perfect for layering under bedroom or living room furniture from both a visual and coziness standpoint.

Just imagine sliding into these luxurious bamboo sheets after a long day. Available in 11 gorgeous hues and seven sizes, this cooling set also has the highest thread count of any bamboo sheet set on the market. "I distinctly remember thinking to myself, 'Wow, these feel softer than my usual set,'" Sarah wrote of the first time she tried them. "As I slid into them, I knew these were different — game changing, in fact. I couldn’t get over how soft they felt on my skin, but even more so, how cool they felt (even the pillowcases)."

If you're dealing with an uncomfortable mattress but don't want to splurge on a new one, a topper is the way to go. Because this topper is made with the same proprietary foam that Tempur-Pedic uses in their award-winning mattresses, it's a great way to get the benefits of a more expensive, high-tech mattress at a fraction of the cost. This model is also better than other mattress toppers on the market because it has a removable cover that you can wash; plus, it's highly breathable, so you stay comfortable while sleeping. It's no wonder the topper helped Britt get a better night's sleep. "It’s great for those who prefer a soft-but-firm feel for their bed and don’t have the extra cash to shell out for a brand new mattress," she wrote.

A comfy robe completes your stay-at-home wardrobe any time of the year, and this robe from Parachute — the makers of some of our editors' favorite bedding — is wonderfully cozy and cooling. It's made from premium cotton and comes in a variety of chic colors. Shopping director Jada calls this "the Goldilocks of robes" for many good reasons. "It’s not too heavy or too light, it’s not too constricting or too loose, it’s not too short or too long — everything about it is just right," she wrote. "I wear it almost daily as I wake up in the morning, wind down at night, and even when I need a little afternoon break. On the weekends, it’s basically on the whole day."
