The Storm Room, at home

People ask what's in the scenes. Most of it is light and weather we make ourselves, but a few real things do the same work in a real room: a fire, a heavy blanket, soft air, a steady sound floor. These are the ones we'd actually buy.

The hearth

duraflame 3D infrared electric fireplace stove

The fire in almost every Storm Room. A real flame effect you can run with or without heat, so the room looks like the scene even in July.

The weight

20 lb weighted blanket

Steady pressure does for the body what steady sound does for the ears. Twenty pounds suits most adults; go lighter if you run warm.

The throw

Bedsure sherpa fleece throw

The blanket on the back of the sofa in the cabin scenes. Cheap, washable, and the first thing people reach for when the thunder starts.

The air

Levoit top-fill bedroom humidifier

Storms make the air feel soft. A quiet humidifier gets a dry bedroom part of the way there, and it's easier to sleep in.

The floor

Magicteam white noise sound machine

For nights you'd rather not leave a screen on. It won't replace a Storm Room, but it holds the noise floor steady until morning.

The crackle

WoodWick Fireside crackling-wick candle

A wooden wick that actually crackles. Light it when the scene starts and the room stops being a room with a TV in it.

Something to fall asleep to

A story instead of a storm

Some nights you want a voice, not weather. Audible's free trial comes with an audiobook credit, and a slow, familiar book at low volume pairs well with any of the rain scenes.
