Perfectly Snug Smart Topper Wins Oprah Daily 2026 Sleep Award
We're proud to share that the Perfectly Snug Smart Topper has been named to Oprah Daily's 2026 Sleep Awards — recognized as "Best Smart Topper" in the editors' annual roundup of the best sleep products of the year. You can read the full feature on Oprah Daily here.
It's an honor we don't take lightly. The Oprah Daily Sleep Awards are one of the most trusted product roundups in the industry — Oprah's team tests dozens of products each year and recognizes the few that genuinely change how people sleep. Being on this year's list alongside leading brands like Saatva, Helix, and Sleep Number is a meaningful nod to what we've been building.
About the 2026 Oprah Daily Sleep Awards
Each year, Oprah Daily's editors publish a curated list of standout sleep products — from mattresses and toppers to sound machines and pillows. The 2026 roundup focused on innovation that meets a real need: products that don't just look impressive on a spec sheet but actually deliver better sleep night after night. The roundup spans multiple categories and products, making the Smart Topper's inclusion a competitive achievement in a crowded sleep technology space.
Why the Smart Topper Was Selected for Oprah's 2026 List
Most "cooling" mattress toppers are passive — they use gel infusions, breathable fabrics, or phase-change materials that feel cool when you first lie down but warm up as the night goes on. By 2am, you're sleeping on material that's been absorbing your body heat for hours.
The Smart Topper takes a different approach. Active airflow continuously moves heat away from your body throughout the night — not just for the first 30 minutes. Dual-zone control means you and your partner can sleep at completely different temperatures on the same bed. Smart sensors automatically adjust as your body temperature changes during deep sleep, REM, and the early morning hours. Plus, it has a foot warmer for extra cold sleepers.
That's the difference Oprah Daily's editors highlighted: a topper that actually keeps you cool all night, not just for the first 30 minutes.
How the Smart Topper Works
The Smart Topper is a fully active climate system that installs in under 10 minutes on top of any mattress — foam, hybrid, innerspring, or adjustable base. Two quiet fans per zone (rated to 40,000 hours of operation) move active air through the topper, with 10 cooling levels and 10 heating levels you can fine-tune from the app or directly on the unit; and three customizable phases per night. There's no water to refill, no maintenance schedule, no subscription required.
For couples who run different temperatures — the most common cause of overnight wake-ups in our customer surveys — each side adjusts to the sleeper's body temperature in real time, completely independently.
Who the Oprah-Recommended Smart Topper Is Best For
Hot sleepers who wake up sweating despite "cooling" mattresses, expensive sheets, or low bedroom thermostats. Active cooling is the only category that addresses the underlying problem.
People navigating menopause, perimenopause, or hot flashes. Hormonal temperature swings are one of the most common reasons we hear from new customers. The Smart Topper's burst-mode cooling and dual-zone control are specifically designed for people whose body temperature shifts unpredictably during the night.
Couples who run different temperatures. Dual-zone independence ends the thermostat wars. One side warm, one side cool, both people comfortable.
Anyone affected by medication-related night sweats, chronic chills, or temperature regulation issues from medical conditions.
What People Are Saying
"Best Sleep Ever
I really debated on spending $2k on a mattress topper and looked at many versions but landed on Perfectly Snug since it adapts to your body temp and I was experiencing intense hot flashes. ITs has been a GREAT investment, 100% worth it. My husband wasn't on board with spending that much but now he loves it and tells others it was worth it."

How does the Smart Topper compare to passive cooling toppers and mattresses?
Passive cooling (gel foam, phase-change materials, "cool to the touch" fabrics) works for the first 30–60 minutes, then saturates with your body heat. Active cooling like the Smart Topper continuously moves heat away from your body all night. For people who wake up hot at 2am or 3am, passive cooling generally isn't enough.
