This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray (75ml) is currently 43% off on Amazon, reduced to £14.35 from £25, saving shoppers £10.65. The bestselling bedtime mist is available at full price at John Lewis, Boots and Lookfantastic.
The pillow spray is designed to help users unwind before bed, using a blend of lavender, camomile and vetiver. The aromatherapeutic combination creates a calming scent intended to support an evening wind-down routine.
How to Use and Popularity
To use, spritz a fine mist over pillows and bed linen before climbing into bed. The brand recommends one to three spritzes, working out at roughly 12p to 16p per night. The product has sold 12 million bottles and is loved by Millie Bobby Brown.
What the Research Says
According to research commissioned by the brand, in a study involving 100 participants and 100 former prescription sleep-aid users, compared with using no product, 89% said they fell asleep faster and 97% reported sleeping better. Meanwhile, 98% said they felt more refreshed in the morning.
Individual results will vary, and a pillow spray is not a guaranteed solution to sleepless nights. While a relaxing bedtime ritual may help users switch off, anyone experiencing persistent sleep difficulties or symptoms of insomnia should speak to their GP rather than relying on over-the-counter products.
Shopper Reviews and Alternatives
According to Amazon shoppers, the spray lives up to its award-winning reputation. One person shared: "Amazing product. I use it most nights, except when I run out, and that's when I really notice the difference. With it, I fall into a deeper sleep and wake up feeling significantly more refreshed, not groggy. The fragrance is calming, doesn't irritate sensitive skin or sinuses, and leaves zero marks or sticky residue on white pillowcases. 100% recommend."
Another said: "I bought this with a lot of scepticism because how can a lavender mist actually knock you out? But it really does work. I spray two mists over my pillow about 5–10 minutes before getting into bed, and within minutes my mind stops racing. For someone who usually takes an hour of tossing and turning to settle, this has cut that down to virtually nothing. Now on my third bottle."
However, one mixed review reads: "I genuinely love the smell - it's a soothing, high-end blend of lavender and chamomile that immediately makes getting into bed feel calming and luxurious. It definitely helps put me in the right mindset to wind down. My only slight complaint is that the fragrance dissipates quite quickly (around 15 to 20 minutes), so if I don't drift off straight away, the effect wears off, and I find myself needing an extra spritz."
On a brighter note, another fan said: "I received this originally as a gift and was surprised by how long a 75ml bottle lasts - easily three to four months with a couple of sprays per night. It doesn't feel overpowering, just a gentle, soothing layer that lingers long enough to drift off. It has become an essential part of my sleep routine."
Alternatives include NEOM Wellbeing's Perfect Night's Sleep Pillow Mist (£26, Boots), which uses a blend of 14 essential oils including lavender, chamomile and patchouli, and Aromatherapy Associates' Deep Relax Sleep Mist (£38), a premium option made up of vetiver, chamomile and sandalwood.
