You may have noticed our list skews higher in price, and that's actually for a good reason. I've used faux fur blankets across the price spectrum, and I've learned that cheaper designs are more likely to wind up matting and developing obvious w

We found that wetting the soil or waiting until it’s moist after a rainy day can make installing the stakes much easier. We also found using either our string trimmer or an actual string staked into the ground was helpful for forming the edging in a straight line if nee

One thing in particular to note is that recliners need space for both their upright and reclining positions, so you’ll want to ensure that wherever you position it has room for you to kick up your feet and to comfortably lean back—ideally, without bumping any walls or blocking any walkways. For context, the one in my home goes from 37 inches deep to 65 inches deep when it’s fully recli

Performance : During many of our space heater tests, we used an infrared thermometer (IR thermometer) to measure the base temperature of the room. We then turned the heater on high and measured the temperature at 4 and 8 feet from the heater after 15 and 30 minutes. We also measured the base humidity with a hygrometer and again after 15 and 30 minutes. During our fan tests, we studied the air speed of each fan, noting how many speeds each fan offered, how to control them, and how well each performed. We measured with an anemometer and compared them to the manufacturer's cla

If you like the comforting feel of a heavier or even true weighted blanket over your body, UnHide’s Marshmallow Blanket is the perfect faux fur pick. Made of recycled polyester, UnHide’s inviting blanket is designed to mimic chinchilla fur—a detail you can see in the movement and plushness of the fur fib

If you want an affordable little unit you can easily carry wherever you need it, I love this option from GiveBest. During testing, our team was impressed by its heating abilities, especially given its compact size. Its dual cooling and heating functions make it the perfect addition to any small room (it’s designed for heating spaces up to 200 square feet, about the size of a one-car gara

I’m an experienced gardener who has used various types of edging, including bricks and different styles of plastic borders, such as small fences. I tested this edging out in a small location with a rose bush, hosta, and a hanging basket. I wanted to create a more defined area, and protect it from the mower or weed wacker, and it did the job w

Not to mention, there are dozens of upholstery colors and material options, including performance fabric for households with kids or pets. We are thrilled by how easy it is to remove darker stains, like pasta sauce, with an upholstery cleaner , leaving no trace on our light gray upholst

This edging does require a little digging (I dug down an inch or two) to get it in place, but it wasn’t hard to do at all. It’s 5 inches tall, so even if you dig a trench, it’s still a great height for keeping in a few inches of mulch. I also think the height creates a very defined garden bed, while blending in well with the rest of my landsc

Over time, we like how well this blanket handles everyday wear and tear. It stays fluffy even with plenty of lounging (from both people and pets!), and it washes beautifully. While it’s common for faux fur blankets to shed some of their fuzzy fibers, we’ve experienced far less shedding with this blanket than with the others on our l

Or, choose one of the performance materials available for the BenchMade Modern Skinny Fat Sectional, our best customizable option. It's also an ideal choice for busy households, families with kids, and people with p

Many may associate an affordable sofa with flat, stiff cushions; however, that's not the case with the Ikea Ekholma. This four-seater sectional features puffy, supportive cushions that have retained their shape and color. We didn't even wake up with neck or back pain after a

Don’t try installing landscape edging (or any laborious projects) during a heatwave like I did! It’s best to do it on a day that isn’t too hot and muggy, and preferably when the soil is a little moist, so it’s easier to install the sta

The option to select a temperature is ideal for people who want more granular control over the heat output (our best features pick, the Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool HP07, and our best compact pick, the Dreo Atom One Space Heater, have th

The Mainstay 1500W Ceramic Space Heater is a great portable fan and heater for under $25. We found it perfect for keeping warm (or cool) in our office, and love that it is compact and easy to move aro

We weren't expecting this sofa to be delivered in one large box, so we had to pull out every piece before carrying it into our Home color matching game Furniture|https://Homecolorcraft.com/. Despite this frustrating experience, assembly was rather simple, and we completely forgot our grievances as soon as we experienced this couch's comf
