Loftie Sleep Alarm Clock
Best for: Anti-phone-in-bedroom users, meditation enthusiasts, minimalists
The premium alarm clock designed to keep your phone OUT of the bedroom — sound machine, guided meditations, and two-phase alarm in one.
Loftie is what happens when you take an alarm clock seriously. Sound machine with 100+ sounds and sleep audio, according to Loftie. Guided meditations, breathwork sessions, and sleep stories. Two-phase alarm (gentle chime, then main alarm) to wake you between sleep cycles. No screen at night, no phone required. The point is to end phone-in-bedroom syndrome, which affects sleep quality more than any single supplement.

How our prices work
We show the price at our recommended retailer and, when Amazon reports one, its list price for comparison. Amazon prices come from Amazon's own product data service and are refreshed twice a day; each one shows the date and time Amazon gave it, and one older than 24 hours is replaced by “Check price”. Other retailers' prices are checked by hand and show the date of that check. Retail prices move constantly, so the price on the retailer's own page at checkout is the one that applies.

Editor's deep dive
Is the Loftie Sleep Alarm worth it?
The short answer
Yes for phone addicts: the Loftie is the rare gadget that removes a device from your bedroom instead of adding one. Its two-phase alarm and built-in sound library genuinely replace the phone-on-the-nightstand habit — but if you want a bright sunrise wake-up, a dedicated light like the Philips HF3520 does that half better.
Who it's for
People whose real sleep problem is the phone: doomscrolling at midnight, checking notifications at 3am, waking to a jarring phone alarm. The Loftie gives every phone-job to a calmer object — alarm, white noise, wind-down audio — so the phone can charge in another room. It's also the pick for design-conscious bedrooms where a plastic gadget would bother you every time you look at it.
Best for you if…
Replaces every bedside phone job — the entire point of the product.
The two-phase alarm (soft cue, then get-up cue) beats any single blaring tone.
The glow is ambient, not a 300-lux dawn — pair with blackout curtains or pick a Philips.
An alarm + speaker is expensive when a JALL and your existing speaker cover the basics.
Bottom line
The Loftie earns its price when the phone is the enemy. As a pure alarm clock it's expensive; as a phone-replacement system it's the best-executed one on paper among those we review.

Frequently asked questions
Loftie vs Hatch Restore 2?
Both premium alarm clocks with sound + meditation. Loftie has better hardware quality; Hatch has larger content library. Loftie's two-phase alarm is unique. Split the difference on price — Loftie is slightly cheaper.
Is Loftie worth it?
Yes if your goal is to eliminate phone-in-bedroom. The full toolkit (sound, meditation, alarm) replaces several phone functions. Skip if you already use just an alarm and don't care about meditation content.
Does Loftie require a subscription?
No — content library is included. New meditations are added occasionally via free updates.
Loftie vs LectroFan for adults?
Different products. LectroFan is a pure sound machine. Loftie is sound + meditation + alarm + speaker. Get LectroFan if you just want white noise; get Loftie if you want the whole bedside redesign.
