Even the most sceptical of users have found the £20 product to work from the first use
For those who have spent countless nights staring at the ceiling or endlessly scrolling on their phones into the wee hours, they’ve likely already stumbled upon sleep sprays . These soothing mists pledge to aid users in falling asleep quicker, alleviate anxiety and transform a room into a luxurious spa.
One of the most popular options on the market is the This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray, and for a limited time, the natural sleep aid is discounted to £20 from £25 on Amazon. Made with lavender, camomile and vetiver, this calming blend is designed to relax the mind, alleviate stress and prepare the body for rest.
Users can spray it onto their pillow and around the room before bedtime, and let the tranquil scent do its magic. Our shopping writer Lauren Codling tried the This Works spray for herself, and it’s since earned a permanent spot on her bedside table.
She said: “As someone who tests beauty and wellness products for a living, I’ve tried my fair share of pillow sprays, from luxe blends to budget buys. But one that has earned a permanent spot on my bedside table is This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray – a long-time bestseller that truly does what it says on the bottle.”
When she first tried it, Lauren admitted she was ‘sceptical’, but claimed the ‘soft, spa-like scent instantly calmed me down’. She added: “It’s the kind of aroma you’d expect at a wellness retreat. It’s become part of my bedtime ritual, and I notice the difference when I forget to use it.”

Other pillow sprays that Lauren has used previously include Jo Malone’s Lavender and Moonflower Pillow Mist (£38). She commented: “It’s a luxurious choice but one that I absolutely love. This tranquil fragrance combines English lavender, white musk, and moonflowers, delivering a heavenly scent that feels like a genuine indulgence.”
For another option, there’s Feather and Down’s Sweet Dreams Pillow Spray (£8, Boots). “This reasonably priced mist contains lavender and chamomile essential oils, and is both vegan-friendly and cruelty-free,” said Lauren.
However, The This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray is so well-liked that it’s estimated one sells every 79 seconds. With over 18,500 five-star reviews and a devoted following to match, it’s safe to say this dreamy mist has earned its reputation as the original sleep saviour.
At Amazon, one customer commented: “This lavender sleep spray has completely changed my sleep experience. I used to lie in bed for hours and hours, but I was never able to fall asleep. Now, the second my head touches the pillow, I instantly fall asleep (well, nearly always.) Spraying this spray on my pillow has become my favourite part of my night routine.”
Meanwhile, another enthusiast noted: “This spray is magic. I spray my pillow every night and fall asleep instantly.” Someone else added: “It helps with sleep and smells divine.”
Some praised the scent but didn’t find it aided their slumber, commenting: “I’ve used this spray a few times and bought it again recently. The scent is nice, with a slight peppery lavender note. I can’t say it’s done anything for my sleep, but it is nice to smell before getting into bed.”
However, a different reviewer of the This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray stated: “As someone who has trouble sleeping, I was sceptical that this product would be a sleep aid. It actually worked the first time I used it – thoroughly recommend – I will be a regular purchaser.”
