Last month, Forbes Vetted readers stocked up on a variety of spring favorites, just in time to greet the season. Some prepared for warmer weather with our top cooling mattress and bamboo PJs; others invested in a nourishing filtered showerhead and an LED face mask to start showing off glowing skin for the sunny seasons ahead.

And make sure to check back here next month to see what Forbes Vetted readers loved in April.
A perennial Forbes Vetted favorite (including our pick for best mattress overall and the best mattress for shoulder pain), the Helix Midnight Luxe tested well with a variety of sleepers across just about every category to deliver 'the perfect mix of support and comfort.'
Our top pick for mattresses for back pain is optimized for your lumbar region, featuring a 3-inch Euro pillow top for cushioning and a dual-coil system to keep you stable. After our rigorous review, the Saatva Classic also stood out for its edge support: Our testers reported minimal to no buckling while lying or sitting on its edge.
This pick from Brooklyn Bedding thoroughly impressed during the best cooling mattress testing. It contains active cooling features in every layer, including top cover fibers that redirect heat away from the body. According to senior mattress and sleep editor Bridget Chapman, the Aurora Luxe keeps you from overheating and has a plush feel that's reminiscent of a luxury hotel bed.
For our roundup of the most comfortable heels, deputy editor and fashion expert Kari Molvar tested these pumps on a variety of surfaces before awarding them our best overall spot. Molvar cited their pillowy-soft lining, top-notch shock absorption and breathable, rounded toe—perfect for wearers who are blister-prone.
Compact size? Check. Spacious interiors? Check. Buttery leather? Absolutely. This bag from Quince met all our fashion team's criteria for a stylish yet functional crossbody option, earning its spot as our favorite crossbody bag overall. After wearing it for more than three months, Molvar was impressed by how its canvas lining held up over time.
As spring rolls around, our readers are swapping out their cozy PJs for more cooling options, like our top pick for the best cooling pajamas for women. This set from Cozy Earth is expertly crafted from temperature-regulating bamboo viscose to ease the discomfort of hot sleepers. The set is also stain-resistant and comes in 13 colors and patterns for customizability.
Swiss running shoe brand On pulled out all the stops when it comes to the comfort of this popular sneaker, which we deemed the best walking shoe for men overall. Its unique cushioning and mesh air flow make every stride more breathable, and its removable arch insole adds a tailored feel to the design. 'I really enjoy its breathability, and the mesh airflow helps keep my feet cool after a long walk,' says our panelist.
With its breathable mesh upper and balanced cushioning, this cult-favorite sneaker provides just enough stability and comfort to earn the top spot in our roundup of the best shoes for standing all day. Gear editor Cam Vigliotta also cites it as his go-to travel shoe: 'I know it'll keep my feet happy no matter how long I'm standing,' he says.
Molvar named the Brooks Glycerin Max the most comfortable walking shoe for women after falling for its lightweight feel and sturdy rocker design. In testing, its forward-propelling motion added a notable bounce to her step, making walks and everyday errands more enjoyable.
Our dermatologist-approved pick for the best filtered shower head for hair and skin uses a robust, three-stage filtration system to remove common irritants like chlorine and mercury. The model also has three spray settings and an essential oil diffuser for a soothing aromatherapy shower.
In our best self-cleaning litter boxes story, executive strategy editor Lindsay Boyers sang the praises of this model's odor-fighting properties, laser-sensing system and helpful smart features (including its connectivity to an app that monitors litter and waste levels). For all this and more, the Litter-Robot continues to top our best list, even after more than two years of testing.
If you're a fan of extra thick towels, this option from Brooklinen stands out for its luxurious fluff. During our laundering tests, it held up notably well, maintaining 'the same post-first-wash feel after subsequent washes,' says one panel tester.
As far as luxury luggage goes, this suitcase is our favorite aluminum design due to its high-end anodized craftsmanship and striking durability (which is backed by a lifetime guarantee). Senior travel editor Astrid Taran recently vacationed with this suitcase and loved its smooth-spinning wheels and heavy-duty compression system: 'I was able to fit so much more into this suitcase than many of my other carry-on bags,' she says.
For under-$150, this Samsonite spinner offers many high-quality features that rival that of most luxury options. Its built-in TSA lock keeps your belongings secure, and its 1-inch expandability helps stow heavier loads. 'As a chronic over-packer, I love that it's expandable and has organizational pockets to help separate my clothes and essentials,' says one of our carry-on luggage testers.
Perfect for jet-setting families gearing up for summer, this three-piece July luggage set includes all of the brand's essentials (a.k.a. its Carry-On, Checked and Checked Plus suitcases). Each piece features July's signature smooth wheels and retractable handles, and conveniently nest inside one another for easy storage.
'The noise canceling of these earbuds is unparalleled,' says tech and electronics editor Rebecca Isaacs, who was blown away by how they muted her surroundings on the New York City subway. Although pricey, their equalizer adjustment controls and excellent sound quality helped them secure the top spot in our guide to the best wireless earbuds.
We named these Samsung Buds the best wireless earbuds for Android users thanks to their seamless combination of ANC and high audio quality. Isaacs wore them comfortably for hours at a time and loved experimenting with their audio presets. Their battery life is also substantial, offering seven hours of extended listening time.
When it came to reviewing the best gaming headsets, the HyperX Cloud Alpha ultimately won Isaacs over with its generous battery life, which allows up to 300 hours of playtime. 'I charged them around once a month—but really, I could have gone much longer,' she says. Its other notable perks include clear spatial audio and adjustable EQ settings.
An acne-targeting tool worth its salt, our tester found this LED face mask to be a useful addition to her skincare routine. Its red-light function tackles signs of aging, like fine lines, while its blue light minimizes acne. Read our full guide to the best LED face masks for more info on this top pick.
Our favorite teeth-whitening kit's handy pre-filled trays make it an excellent option for beginners. It's easy to use, and employs ingredients like xylitol and potassium nitrate to reduce decay and desensitize teeth. (You'll see the best results after wearing them for 15 to 30 minutes daily.)
This Crest teeth-whitening kit works fast: 'Within 10 to 12 days, I already see a slight difference in terms of shade, ' says our tester. Using hydrogen peroxide as a key ingredient, its strips can lighten teeth up to 20 shades whiter in less than a month—an incredibly short period compared to competitors. The set is also wallet-friendly, so you can stock up.
The TickTalk 5 offers basic GPS, texting and calling, as well as a slew of kid-friendly features, like a 5MP camera, unique GIFs and animated e-greeting cards. We named it the most fun kids' smartwatch due to its cute interface and quirky, monster-themed charger.
Our pick for the best split-screen non-Wi-Fi baby monitor is compatible with up to four cameras, allowing you to monitor more than one child in different rooms. It also has a customizable nightlight, two-way talk and the ability to play white noise or a selection of lullabies.
In our coverage of the best travel cribs, kids and baby gear editor Margaret Badore praised our top pick's backpack-style case and lightweight frame (it clocks in at just around 15 pounds).'Of the travel cribs I tested, it's among the fastest to set up,' she notes. Its side zipper also clips securely to prevent any toddler breaches.
