From Honeywell, this tower fan is great for medium to large rooms for providing even airflow throughout. It features 8-speed levels of quiet control, an auto shut-off timer (1, 2, 4, 8 hours) and 5 nighttime lighting selections that dim the control panel.

Weighted blankets have so many benefits including helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. But who wants to be under a weighted blanket in summer?
