T3 Awards 2026: all Home and Style winners announced
T3’s Home and Style award winners, featuring hair tools, mattresses, vacuums and more
The T3 Awards are back for another year! For 2026 – and our 30th anniversary – we’re highlighting the best of the best, of which we have almost too much to choose from.
This week, we’re announcing all the winners of the 2026 T3 Awards, and we’re starting off strong by celebrating the Home and Style award winners, highly commended and nominees.
This category is vast, and includes stair-climbing robot vacuum cleaners, ultra comfortable mattresses, skin-boosting LED face masks and luxury watches – let’s get into it.
Best Vacuum Cleaner
Shark PowerDetect Speed
Kicking off with vacuum cleaners, the latest models are more high tech than ever before, that they might actually make you want to vacuum your home. There were many exciting contenders this year, including the likes of Dyson and Ultenic, but Shark took the win with its PowerDetect Speed cordless vacuum cleaner.
Dubbed the “cordless vacuum to beat in 2026”, the Shark PowerDetect Speed builds on everything the PowerDetect Pet has (which just so happened to be the winner for the same category in last year’s awards) and adds much more. It offers excellent suction power on all floor types, intelligent detection technology and practical accessories and Auto-Empty dock.

Highly Commended: Dyson V16 Piston Animal
Best Vacuum Cleaner Shortlist: Ultenic U20, Morphy Richards MRXStickPro, Beldray Airfinity
Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Dreame Matrix10 Ultra
In the past year, robot vacuum cleaners have almost gotten out of control. The latest models on the market don’t just clean and mop your floors, but some can even climb stairs and have extendable arms which can pick up socks – creepy, right?! That said, this year’s winner proves it doesn’t need these gimmicks to be impressive.
Winning the robot vacuum cleaner category is the Dreame Matrix10 Ultra. One of the most advanced yet easy to use robot vacuums we’ve ever tried, the Dreame Matrix10 Ultra expertly maps each room of your home, and vacuums and mops them within an inch of their lives. Its Multi-Mop technology is what won us over, as it automatically switches between different mop pads designed for specific areas.

Highly Commended: Roborock Saros 20
Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner Shortlist: Dyson Spot + Scrub Ai, Eufy Omni S2, Kärcher RCV 5
Best Home Air Device
Dyson HushJet Purifier
The Best Home Air Device award is always hard to narrow down to one winner, as it covers fans, air purifiers, dehumidifiers and more. However, after extensive heating throughout the year, we settled on the Dyson HushJet Purifier as our winner, and you only have to look at it to see why.
Moving away from its traditional loop-like design, the Dyson HushJet Purifier is inspired by plane’s jet engines – and it acts like one too. With its cylindrical body, outlet nozzle and 360-degree filter, the Dyson HushJet Purifier rapidly purifies air into a smooth, controlled stream which circulates expertly (and quietly) around your home, making the air easier and healthier for you to breathe in.

Highly Commended: Meaco DD8L Pro
Best Home Air Device Shortlist: Vitesy Eteria, Daiken Air Purifier MC55VB, Blueair Signature Air Purifier
Best Mattress
DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress
As someone who loves her sleep, one of my favourite things to test is mattresses. This past year has seen lots of exciting new mattress launches, and it’s been great to see more sustainable materials being introduced to spring, memory foam and hybrid models. This year, another hybrid mattress has taken the crown, and this time, it’s the DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress.
Made of memory foam, a pocket-spring base and quilted cover, the DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress offers a luxurious and comfortable night’s sleep that won’t break the bank. Where it really excels is its motion transfer, so if you share a bed, your partner’s tossing and turning won’t disturb you – no more sleep divorces with this mattress, that’s for sure!

Highly Commended: Origin LumbarCloud mattress
Best Mattress Shortlist: Simba Earth Apex, Silentnight UltraGel Cool-to-Touch 3000 Mirapocket mattress, Bensons for Beds Slumberland Air 9.0
Best Sleep Accessory
Simba Cool Foam Mattress Topper
The T3 Award for Best Sleep Accessory is another tricky one to narrow down. This category covers duvets, pillows, mattress toppers and protectors, so we’re often overloaded with an abundance of accessories designed to improve your sleep (no complaints here). This year’s winner is the Simba Cool Foam Mattress Topper, one of the newer products on this list which has already made an amazing impression.
If you run hot at night, the Simba Cool Foam Mattress Topper is the perfect companion, as it sits atop your mattress and offers a cool layer to keep you comfortable throughout the night. With its medium-firm feel, this topper is responsive, springy and works to relieve any pain points.

Best Sleep Tech
Eight Sleep Pod 5
One of T3’s newer awards, the Best Sleep Tech category covers a plethora of smart innovations for your bedroom. From smart alarm clocks to haptic sleep mats, we’ve tested the latest smart gadgets that are focused on enhancing your sleeping environment and experience.
For the second year in a row, Eight Sleep has won Best Sleep Tech. For 2025, it was the Pod 4 that took the crown, but its newer model, the Pod 5 is our winner for 2026. More advanced than ever before, the Eight Sleep Pod 5 boosts your rest with real-time temperature control and AI-driven insights so you get the best sleep night after night.

Best Office Chair
FlexiSpot C7 Office Chair
Whether you’re an office, hybrid or remote worker, a good office chair is a must. Sitting in the same chair for eight or more hours a day isn’t exactly comfortable, but the FlexiSpot C7 Office Chair makes it so, which is why it’s won our Best Office Chair award.
Comfortable, ergonomic and supportive, the FlexiSpot C7 Office Chair comes with a huge amount of adjustments for the height, arms, lower back, head and neck. Its lower back support really excels and it massively reduced any aches and pains after sitting down all day.

Best Travel Goods
Antler Discovery Wheeled Duffel
Whether you’re off on holiday, a work trip or headed into the office, the Best Travel Goods can take you where you need to go – or come with you, at least. This year, the award goes to an innovative suitcase from Antler – the Antler Discovery Wheeled Duffel.
Antler has always been a reliable brand, but it really excelled with the Antler Discovery Wheeled Duffel. Blending the flexibility of a holdall with the strength of a suitcase, the Antler Discovery Wheeled Duffel has a sturdy design with practical 80-litre storage and smooth wheels – what more could you ask for?

Best Electric Toothbrush
Suri 2.0
Heading into the style section of the ‘Home and Style’ award winners, we’re starting off strong with the Best Electric Toothbrush. Today’s electric toothbrushes have become more and more advanced, so we’ve put them to the test and not only do we have stunning, pearly-white teeth now, but we’ve found our winner for 2026.
The Suri 2.0 takes the win this year. We didn’t think it could possibly get any better than its first version, but Suri proved us wrong with the 2.0 model. Taking everything from the original and enhancing it, the Suri 2.0 comes with a new case, stand and pressure sensor, which makes it one of the best electric toothbrushes we’ve ever tried at T3.

Highly Commended: Quip Ultra Lite

Best Hair Styling Tool
Shark SilkiPro Straight
The world of hair styling has significantly expanded in the past few years – it’s not just dryers and straighteners anymore, folks! Now, you can get wet-to-dry stylers, at-home blowdry devices and all-in-one gadgets that can perm, straight, curl and crimp your hair. However, the styler that surprised us the most this year is the Shark SilkiPro Straight.
In the past year, Shark has been pulling out all the stops with its hair styling range. The Shark SilkiPro Straight is a perfect example of that, and is one of the brand’s most impressive hair tools to date. Great for sleek hair lovers, the Shark SilkiPro Straight takes your hair from wet to dry to sleek, and its smart comb system is fast and easy to use. It’s even packed with heat sensors to protect your hair when styling.

Best Hair Removal Tool
Philips 9900 Beauty Set
If you were to ask us who makes the best hair removal tools on the market, Philips would be the brand that instantly comes to mind. Across beard trimmers, electric shavers and IPL machines, Philips sets the standard for hair removal for both men and women – and the Philips 9900 Beauty Set is our winner for 2026.
A luxury beauty tool – with a luxury price tag – the Philips 9900 Beauty Set is an all-in-one beauty and skincare system.

Best LED Face Mask
Dr Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro
The best LED face masks are no longer reserved for people who can afford to go to a luxury spa. Nowadays, you can buy these terrifying-looking masks to use in the comfort of your home. As LED face masks are all so advanced, it’s been hard to narrow down the winner, but the best of the best has to be the Dr Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro.
Suitable for all skin types, the Dr Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro offers three treatments using a combination of red and blue lights to address a variety of skincare concerns. The mask is also comfortable and lightweight to wear, and we found it to work best at improving fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation.

Highly Commended: Silk'n LED Face Mask Pro

Best Fragrance
Acqua di Parma Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato
One of our newer awards, Best Fragrance was only recently added to the T3 Awards in 2025. Acqua di Parma won it last year, and it’s only gone and done it again this year – and for its 110th anniversary, might I add.
Easily snatching the crown for one of best men’s fragrances you can buy, Acqua di Parma Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato has classic notes of citrus and florals. It’s packed full of ylang ylang which was harvested by the brand in Madagascar in 2024. It’s a spring-summer scent that’s fresh, complex and bound to become a staple in many people’s collections.

Highly Commended: Creed Wild Vetiver
Best Fragrance Shortlist: Tom Ford Taormina Orange, Prada Paradigme
Best Watch
Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Chronographe Mysterieux
2025-2026 might have been one of the best years for watch launches, featuring truly innovative designs and complications from the likes of TAG Heuer, Rolex, Tudor and more. But the watch that caught our eye the most and earned the title of Best Watch at the T3 Awards 2026 is the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Chronographe Mysterieux.
Debuted at Watches and Wonders 2026, the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Chronographe Mysterieux features a chronograph without subdials. The clean yet precise dial is displayed in blue, but it’s the case that hides all the technical details. At 7:30, a monopusher sits and activates the chronograph which reveals a gold pair of hands at 12 o’clock. Push it again and the chronograph stops, and again for the hands to reset to current time. It’s remarkable yet simply displayed which makes it more exciting.

Best Watch Shortlist: Split Watches MC-1, Christopher Ward The Twelve 660, Blancpain Grande Double Sonnerie
