We spend so much time grinding at work, pushing ourselves with passion projects, and pursuing hobbies that all we want to do when we do finally get some time off is rest. Admit it! There’s nothing better than waking up on Saturday morning with nothing on the to-do list. You can catch up on the shows you’ve been missing, play video games, nap, transform your bathroom into a day spa — the world is your oyster! But then, in comes the chores list — or worse yet, plans — to bring us down. Sigh.

When you’re dedicated to having an uninterrupted day of R&R, these are the products you need to have on hand. From cozy sherpa hoodies and spa pillows, to back massagers and slow cookers, these are some of Amazon’s best reviewed products for a lazy day. These couch potato-approved finds are budget friendly, multipurpose, time-saving, and will help you keep your home environment low maintenance.
