OTO’s Sleep Pillow Mist Reviewed: A Calming Addition to Any Night Routine

Writer’s note: Even though this product was gifted to me, all the thoughts and opinions shared here are completely my own. My reviews are based on my personal experience with the products, aiming to give you an honest and unbiased perspective.

What I Tried

I was offered the chance to try any of OTO’s products. I chose to go for one of their non-CBD products because I recently started a new prescription medication and didn’t want to add CBD into the mix and not be able to tell what was doing what.

I tried the OTO Sleep Pillow Mist, drawn in by its luxurious feel and calming blend of essential oils. I often struggle to quiet my mind at night, so I was curious to see if this gentle, non-CBD formula could help me relax and ease into sleep more naturally.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

  • Lavender: A classic for good reason, lavender is well-loved for its calming, sedative qualities. It’s especially helpful in easing anxiety and promoting deeper, more restful sleep.

  • Chamomile: Known for its ancient use in calming rituals, this gentle essential oil is prized for supporting better sleep and easing restlessness.

  • Ylang Ylang: With its sweet, floral scent, ylang ylang can help slow your heart rate and lower blood pressure, creating the perfect conditions for a peaceful night’s rest.

  • Mandarin: Often described as softly hypnotic, mandarin oil soothes the nervous system and encourages relaxation, making it easier to unwind.

How to Use It

Spray the mist 2-3 times onto your pillow and bedding before sleep. The blend of essential oils is designed to promote relaxation and help you drift off naturally. Use it as a part of your nightly wind-down routine for best results.

My Experience & Results

Soft, calming, and beautifully balanced, the fragrance is lavender-forward with warm, earthy notes of vetiver and a gentle touch of chamomile, ylang ylang, and mandarin. The scent is noticeable without being overwhelming, and lingers just long enough to be comforting as you drift off.

As someone with ADHD, winding down at night can be a real challenge - my brain doesn’t exactly have an off switch, especially when it’s quiet. I often find myself overstimulated or lying in bed with thoughts racing, even when I’m physically exhausted. Since using the mist, I’ve noticed that I feel more anchored and calm within about 10-15 minutes. It hasn’t magically fixed my sleep (because… ADHD), but it has helped shift my mindset from scattered to sleepy, which is a big win.

About the Brand

OTO is a luxury wellbeing brand rooted in the UK, best known for its innovative use of science-backed ingredients and thoughtfully crafted rituals designed to bring moments of calm into daily life. Their core ethos centres around helping people feel their best - whether that’s through better sleep, improved focus, or deeper relaxation. While OTO made its name with high-performance CBD products, they’ve since expanded to include a non-CBD range for those who prefer a more classic approach. The Sleep Pillow Mist is part of this collection - ideal for anyone looking to harness the calming power of aromatherapy without the use of CBD.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking to add a gentle but meaningful touch to your bedtime routine, OTO’s Sleep Pillow Mist is a lovely place to start. The blend of natural essential oils feels thoughtfully balanced - calming without being cloying - and it’s clear a lot of care has gone into crafting a product that supports rest in a way that feels luxurious but still grounded.

For me, it hasn’t been a magic cure for sleep (because, let’s be honest, ADHD brains are rarely that simple), but it has made a noticeable difference. It’s helped me ease into the idea of bedtime, which is often half the battle. 

It’s not the cheapest option out there, but if scent plays a role in how you wind down - and you're looking for a bit of sensory calm that fits into a shared or solo nighttime ritual - it’s absolutely worth trying. Small moment, big impact.
