When I first started working from home, I had good intentions about having an office area that felt put together, but that idea quickly went by the wayside in favor of just one key concept: comfort. It turns out the cozier I feel, the more productive I am. Hence, the idea behind digging up these genius things under $35 that make you more comfortable.

Personally, I love nothing more than wrapping up in something like this wearable blanket that feels a lot like an oversized sweatshirt. You can lounge on the couch with it, and then — when you're ready for a snack — you can just get up and walk to the kitchen while still wearing it. And as far as foot comfort, goes, these moccasins take the cake: They have memory foam insoles that cradle your feet with every step, and the durable rubber outsoles are hardy enough for outdoor use, so you can take your coffee on the back porch.

And let me just point out one last thing: this T-shirt that's custom-made to your measurements (really) for an everyday piece of clothing that feels like luxury, but at an affordable price. Can you say "Add to Cart"? Settle in and enjoy all these picks designed for comfort.
