Making healthy choices extends beyond what you eat. There are many ways to enhance other aspects of your life if you are striving to lead a healthier life. The most obvious would be to invest in your physical health with a new treadmill or rowing machine for your home gym, or even a smartwatch. But you can also create a healthier home environment. Using an air purifier to remove dust and pollen from the air can be a good start. A humidifier may help you breathe better during the dry winter months, especially while you sleep. And when it comes to food, it’s not just what you put in your body, but how you prepare it. So investing in cookware that can help you avoid PFAS would also be helpful.
If you don’t already have these items, or the ones you do are getting old, you may want to consider investing in some of them. And because many of us are cost-conscious amid tariffs and inflation, I’ve rounded up the best deals on everything you might need for a healthier home and life. I don’t just look at the price tag, either. I weigh the discounts against the quality of each product, based on how it has performed in our lab tests and at-home evaluations, to help you spend more wisely and avoid buying something that doesn’t work as well as you want.
And right now, if you’re a CR Digital or All-Access member, you can take advantage of some exclusive offers in these categories and more. As our way of saying thank you, this week is Member Appreciation Week, running through March 17. Below you’ll see the details of member-only savings—make sure you’re logged in. There are 14 offers in total, including a few not mentioned here.

Air Purifiers
The HoMedics AP-T200 has impressive performance and an attractive design, similar to the AP-C500. It performs impressively on both high and low speeds and is easy to use. Just expect a fair amount of noise while it’s running. The major difference—this model is designed for midsized rooms of 150 to 350 square feet, so it’s smaller in size and has a smaller price tag. It originally sold for $300 and is often available for $250, making Amazon’s price a rather impressive discount.
If you’re looking for an air purifier for a small room, the Blueair Mini Restful might fit the bill. It’s on sale for the general public, and CR members can save even more. The Mini Restful earns the CR Recommended designation because it performed very well in our tests. Running at high speed, it aced the dust, pollen, and smoke removal tests, and did nearly as well operating at low speed. It gets a middling score for noise output at high speed, which is common across every model, but it’s actually pretty quiet at low speed, making it a great option for all-day use in, say, a home office.
During CR’s Member Appreciation Week, this model is 40 percent off for members, 10 percent better than the public offer. Just use the code CR40 at checkout.
The Blue Signature is one of our top-rated air purifiers for extra-large rooms. It didn’t ace any of our tests, but it earned high marks for particle removal at high speed and noise levels at low speed. But if you’ve got a room that’s 650 square feet or more, odds are that noise levels won’t be too much of an issue. It’s currently 33 percent off for the general public, and members can save just a bit more.
The CR discount is only 2 percent better than the public offer, but if you’re thinking about buying it, a little extra savings is never a bad thing. Enter the code CR35 at checkout.
The Blue Pure 311i+ Max is not on sale for the general public, but members can still save. This air purifier is terrific at removing dust, pollen, and smoke, but expect a bit of noise. It’s easy to use and is designed for use in a large space, 350 to 650 square feet. CR members find Blueair air purifiers highly reliable, and they’re very satisfied with their purchases. The Blue Signature does well, too, though it doesn’t score quite as well as the 311i+ Max. However, this model is rated for even larger spaces. And if you have a small room that needs an air purifier, the Mini Restful model is a great choice.
To get the 30 percent discount, enter the code CR30 at checkout.
The Blueair Blue Pure 311i Max Air Purifier features an indicator light to alert you when you need to change or clean the filter. It also has a dirt sensor and four speeds. On its higher setting, it’s terrific at removing dust, pollen, and smoke, but expect a bit of noise. It’s easy to use, and is designed for use in a large space of 350 to 650 square feet. CR members find Blueair air purifiers to be highly reliable, and they’re very satisfied with their purchases.
The portable Blue Pure 211i Max does a terrific job removing dust, pollen, and smoke on its higher setting, but expect a bit of noise. Try it on low, and you’ll have more quiet while still experiencing top-notch results. This model is designed for use in a large space of 350 to 650 square feet and costs about $109 a year to maintain. It also weighs just 17 pounds, making it easy to move around. While we’ve seen this model selling for less in recent months, it’s still a nice discount.
At 50 pounds, the Coway Airmega ProX air purifier is quite heavy, but it also delivers high-quality performance. On both higher and lower speeds, this model excels at clearing rooms of dust, pollen, and smoke. And it scores well when it comes to noise. It accommodates indoor spaces up to a whopping 2,126 square feet. But the ProX’s top-tier performance comes at a hefty price (even on sale), plus about $247 annually, according to our estimates. The ProX features three speeds, a filter indicator, and a dirt sensor. In our surveys, CR members say they’re highly satisfied with their Coway air purifiers. The brand earns top marks for predicted reliability, too.
It’s worth noting that the list price for this model in July 2025 was $799, and it was on sale for $640. It doesn’t seem likely that the price will drop that low again anytime soon, however.
Humidifiers
The low-priced, ultrasonic Levoit Classic 300S can humidify a room of up to 505 square feet, which earns it a solid rating in our output test. It aces other evaluations too. It has a variety of features, including automatic shutoff, a more accurate digital humidity display than most competitors have, and the option to diffuse aromas. And now it’s back down to the lowest price we saw in 2025.
This humidifier, rated for small rooms, is a fantastic balance of quality and price. It’s a top-rated model; it handled every one of our tests with ease, and it has an indicator when the water level is low, so it’s easy to know when you need to add more (and it shuts off automatically if you don’t get there in time). With perfect scores across the board and a price under $50, it’s a no-brainer.
Exercise Equipment
The 7.0 AT foldable treadmill is one of the best we’ve tested, and it’s on sale right now for a good discount—plus, CR members can take advantage of additional savings. This model features Bluetooth connectivity, built-in speakers, and a responsive motor that stays in sync with fitness apps and trackers.
The 7.4 AT, which qualifies for this offer as well, comes very close to this model’s scores, and it is 2 inches wider and includes three additional built-in training courses. The 7.8 AT model is also part of this offer. This one is very similar to the 7.4, but the max weight is 25 pounds higher, at 375 pounds. All three models are eligible for the member offer.
Members can use the code CRDEAL to take an additional $120 off the sale price of any of these models through March 17.
The Heybike Cityrun performed well in our range, acceleration, braking, hill climb, and unassisted cruising tests. It’s at a decent discount right now, including free front basket and large basket attachments—plus CR members can save even more (see below for details). Even without battery power, it still managed to perform capably when climbing a hill at the lowest gear setting. It also has hydraulic disc brakes and a hub-drive motor, as well as front LED lights and a seven-speed Shimano shifter. The Cityrun is available in three colors: black, green, and orange. At 64 pounds, it’s a bit heavier than some other models, which can make it more difficult to move if you need to put it away or load it into a car.
CR members can save an additional $100 on the existing sale price with the code HBCR100. This offer is available through June 30.
The high-end Hydrow Rower uses a quiet electromagnetic resistance system and tracks all standard metrics that rowers use to measure progress—from stroke rate to split time. This machine earns top marks across all CR’s tests. It also has a 22-inch high-definition screen that can be used to access Hydrow’s live and on-demand fitness classes. As with other high-end machines, those are subscription-based—$44 per month—and include access to many types of workouts, not just rowing. It’s $100 more than the sale price at the beginning of the month, so it’s not the best deal we’ve seen. But if you’re in the market, a $300 discount is still decent.
This highly rated Horizon 7.0 lC is on sale, and members can save even more. It earned great marks in our tests for adjustability, noise, and capacity, and its warranty. While it doesn’t offer built-in connectivity, it does offer Bluetooth capabilities that allow you to pair the bike to your tablet or smartphone and sync with workouts provided by third-party exercise subscription services such as Peloton.
Members can use the code CRDEAL to take an additional $120 off the sale price through March 17.
If you want a way to do cardio at home, exercising on an elliptical gets you an aerobic workout without the impact that comes with running. The Air Glide 14i is at a decent discount right now, and it’s CR Recommended for its above-average performance in our lab tests. This model got exemplary scores in our tests for construction, ease of use, and user safety. It’s also above average when it comes to ergonomics. It did fall short in terms of heart rate accuracy, but you can always wear a smartwatch or fitness tracker for more accurate readings if you want to track that.
Personal Massagers
Toloco EM26 Massage Gun
This massage gun is pretty much always this price. It rarely goes on sale for less and almost never costs more, but it’s a great value, so I keep it on this list for those looking for a low-cost massage gun (I own one and it’s perfect for an occasional user). It offers a weaker massage than other devices we evaluated, though it may still be enough for some users—and it’s pretty quiet as a result. The interface on this device can be cumbersome. While it comes with 10 attachments and a case, the attachments often get jumbled up inside the case, making it annoying to fit the massage gun in. This device charges via a USB-C cable.
Smartwatches and Fitness Trackers
The Amazfit Active is a solid fitness tracker, especially at this price. It’s easy to use, with a claimed battery life of around 16 hours. Even better, it excels at counting steps and tracking fitness activities, which is, after all, one of the main goals of a fitness tracker.
The Amazfit Balance 2 smartwatch sits near the top of our Smartwatch and Fitness tracker ratings, and with good cause: It earns strong marks across the board in our lab tests, including excellent scores for ease of use and step-count performance. The Balance 2 features sleep-tracking capability and a longer battery life than most at 18.6 days.
This rugged-looking (and high-performing) Samsung smartwatch is aimed at outdoors enthusiasts—and anyone who wants the latest premium health- and fitness-tracking features. Just note that Galaxy Watches work only with Android devices. The price has been falling steadily since the summer.
Cookware
CR’s scientists have found that even nonstick pans labeled as being “PFOA free” may still contain some of that compound and other PFAS, which are linked to health risks. But there are plenty of nonstick alternatives that are more likely to be free of worrisome forever chemicals, including stainless steel, ceramic-coated, and enamel-coated pots and pans.
The Caraway Ceramic-Coated Cookware Set is almost always available at this discounted price, but CR members can save even more. It comes with 14 pieces, but only half are pots or lids. The rest are various racks, hooks, and other things you might not want or have space for. That said, this set excels in all four of our key cooking tests: cooking evenness, simmering, nonstick food release, and speed of heating. It also shows very good performance in our nonstick durability tests, though some other sets did better.
Members can save on this set, and sitewide, so you can get exactly what you need for less. Use the code CR10OFF at checkout, and a 10 percent discount will be applied to your entire order, now through June 30, 2026.
Anyday The io Collection
Whether you’re a meal prepper or you just prefer quick and easy cooking, the microwave can play a big role in your kitchen. Anyday makes cookware specially designed for use in the microwave, and we have an exclusive offer on their cookware for our members that’s even better than the general sale. We’re not just talking reheating, but fully cooking meals.
In her review of the plastic-free io Collection, a collaboration between Anyday and Chef David Chang, CR reporter Pang-Chieh Ho found that it actually works really well. Ho cooked a variety of foods in her microwave, from rice to scrambled eggs to bacon, and even chicken and fish. Everything but the rice took under 15 minutes.
To save 25 percent on the io Collection (and sitewide), use the code CRMAW26 at checkout now through March 17.
The budget-friendly GreenPan Reserve Ceramic Nonstick is a 10-piece set with two frying pans, two saucepans, a sauté pan, a stockpot, and four lids. It receives top scores for all our major cooking tasks, including an excellent rating for speed of heating. Its handles are sturdy and stay fairly cool to the touch. The nonstick coating is durable, although some other nonstick pans we tested did better in that assessment.
Depending on the color, you can score a nice discount on this set at Amazon right now (only the white version is at its full price).
Air Fryers
Dash may not have the same name recognition as Ninja or Cuisinart, but the 2.6-quart Dash Tasti-Crisp Ceramic DCAF26CM air fryer earns solid scores in CR’s tests and comes at a sale price that’s better than we’ve seen so far for this model. With food contact surfaces made of nonstick ceramic, it earns top marks for ease of cleaning even though it’s not dishwasher safe. We found it runs more quietly than many other air fryer models to boot. The DCAF26CM has a small footprint, making it a smart choice for a dorm room or for those with limited counter space.
The Chefman RJ38-2T not only earns our recommendation but also carries CR’s Green Choice designation, meaning it has less of an environmental impact than other air fryers, based on its design, energy usage, and other factors. This air fryer receives top scores for its ease of cleaning and noise, and a very good score for ease of use, which reflects how easy it is to set your desired time and temperature.
Pillows and Sheets
The Sleep Number ComfortFit Ultimate is made of a blend of memory foam pieces and down alternative fibers. It’s $20 off right now, and members can save even more. Inside the pillow casing are three layers that can be added or removed to tailor the pillow’s comfort to your individual needs. It earns top support ratings for both side and back sleepers, and our testers find it to be very breathable. It’s not as resilient as other options on this list, though, and might not hold its shape over time.
During Member Appreciation Week, CR members can get an additional 10 percent off now through March 17. Just click the Sleep Number Shop button above to get your unique discount code.
This adjustable-fill pillow from Layla marries polyurethane foam with kapok—the featherlike fiber made from the seed pods of the kapok tree, popular for being a vegan alternative to down. It’s on sale for the general public, and CR members can access additional exclusive savings. Our tests find that the model lives up to the material’s reputation, offering top-notch breathability in a soft and rather resilient package. Despite not having cooling properties as its name suggests, the pillow does not retain warmth. And while it offers stellar support for side sleepers, back sleepers are also well served by this pick.
Members can save 20 percent on top of the existing discount using the code CRMEMBERS until March 17.
If you prefer synthetic sheets, this Mellanni sheet set is a top-notch low-cost pick, especially for members, thanks to an exclusive offer. It offers a softer feel than most cotton options and is pretty resistant to wrinkling, and you can expect a great fit even after a year of laundering. You can also expect this set to be in rotation for a while because it performs well in our strength test. The one area where these bedsheets miss the mark a bit is in our fit test. Though the packaging claims “deep pockets,” this set is best suited for mattresses 10 inches or less in depth.
Just use the Shop button above to navigate to Amazon, add the sheets to your cart, and enter code CRMAWK26 at checkout anytime between now and March 17.
Mattress Toppers
Viscosoft’s gel-infused memory foam topper, now on sale for the general public and with an exclusive members-only offer, is reasonably plush but still has a medium to medium-firm feel, based on my experience lying on it. It earns first-rate marks for support and convenience. But this topper envelops the body more than a few of the other models we tested, scoring on the warmer side for heat retention. Our lab data suggests that those who sleep hot are likely to feel that difference. Additional features include corner straps to help keep it in place and a removable machine-washable rayon cover. The topper can also be flipped and rotated, though it weighs 27 pounds (among the heaviest of those we tested), so you might need a helper.
CR members can save 30 percent at either retailer listed above. To get the exclusive discount, enter the code CRVS2630 at checkout, whether you’re shopping at Amazon or buying directly from Viscosoft. The offer is available now through March 17.
Mattresses
The Casper Snow is not currently on sale for the general public, but CR members can save. This is one of the least heat-retaining mattresses we’ve tested, making it great for those who sleep hot. It’s also $100 less than it was for January’s sales. Combining pocketed coils with layers of foam, this hybrid mattress is particularly supportive of back sleepers of all sizes and is also well-suited for petite to large side sleepers. With a firmness rating of 4 out of 10, the Casper Snow is on the softer side. Its excellent stability rating (an improvement from its previous iteration) means you should not feel vibrations from your partner’s movements.
When you’re logged in as a Digital or All Access member, you can save 30 percent on this mattress. Just click the Get Offer button above, and the discount will automatically be applied when you add the mattress to your cart. This offer also applies to the Casper Snow Max, Dream, and Dream Max mattresses.
Back sleepers who want an adjustable air mattress will find excellent support in the Sleep Number p6 smart bed, whether you’re petite or large and tall. It’s 30 percent off for the general public and members can save even more. In our survey, CR members reported that the Sleep Number brand delivered excellent comfort and very good owner satisfaction. The model is fairly durable, with little sagging or softening over time, and testers found it to be very stable: One sleeper’s tossing shouldn’t bother a partner overnight.
CR members will get an additional 10 percent off the current sale price. Just click the Get Offer button above for your unique discount code. You can also save on the i10 and ClimateCool mattresses, as well as the ComfortFit Ultimate Pillow, which all do well in our tests too.
The Solaire mattress by Saatva is $300 off for the general public, and members can save even more. It’s made with certified organic materials and is an all-around crowd-pleaser, with above-average results in just about every area, including nice support for all sleep positions and sizes, as well as good stabilization. It also excels when it comes to durability. As a brand, Saatva keeps its users quite content in terms of both comfort and owner satisfaction.
And right now, members can get the well-rated Solaire mattress for a better price than the general public. The exclusive 20 percent discount applies to full-size and larger Solaire mattresses. To get the 20 percent discount, click Get Offer below. This offer will be available until March 17, and the discount will be applied when you check out.
The Layla Essential foam mattress, which is 9 inches thick, is a great lower-cost option if you’re in the market for a firm mattress. The queen mattress is currently $150 off, and it’s an even better price for CR members. It earns CR’s top ratings for petite and average back sleepers and near-perfect scores for large back sleepers and petite side sleepers. Average and large side sleepers would find better support elsewhere, though. The mattress receives a firmness rating of 7 out of 10 in our tests. You may feel some vibrations from a fellow sleeper’s shifts; the model earns only a middling stability score. It also doesn’t retain heat. In our member surveys, Layla mattresses earn solid scores for comfort and owner satisfaction.
Logged-in CR members can click the Get Offer button above to save an extra 20 percent on top of the current sale price. This deal also covers Layla’s Hybrid Mattress, which has strong scores in our tests.
Indoor Motion-Sensing Lights
Lightbiz Cabinet Rechargeable Puck Light with Remote
A healthy home is a safe home, and motion-sensing lights can make it easier to move through your halls in the middle of the night or on those extra-early mornings. These lights cover the basics, offering manual override and adjustable brightness. But the smooth dimmer button and lower-contrast text make it slightly less ideal for low-vision users.
Home Security Systems
SimpliSafe Home Security System
In our survey-based owner satisfaction ratings of home security systems, SimpliSafe scores well both as a professionally monitored system and a self-monitored system. Our members report that SimpliSafe provides good value for the money, transparent prices, and great tech support.
This system recently dropped another $20, making it a full $100 off and a steal of a deal.
