Bedroom Incense FAQs

What is incense?
You know the smell of incense—but do you know what it’s made of? Incense is created from different types of aromatic materials like barks, seeds, flowers, and other naturally good-smelling plants and organic materials. These are combined with combustible materials like charcoal and wood powders to create incense sticks, incense cones, and other types of fragrant incense. When placed in your incense burner and lit, these materials create a fragrant smoke, much like a burning candle.

What are the different types of incense?
Five Below carries two different types of incense: incense sticks and incense cones. Incense sticks are the classic incense you’re probably familiar with. These long, thin sticks are lit at one end and burn down the length of the stick. They typically burn for 30 to 40 minutes. Oftentimes, these are placed into incense holders to keep the lit end safe from bedding like blankets and pillows and other things that may catch fire. The incense holder also collects any ash and other residue created by the burning incense.
We also offer incense cones, which is a much more compact type of bedroom incense that burns more quickly, somewhere between 15 and 20 minutes. Incense cones’ scents also dissipate faster, making them a great choice for those who find a full incense stick to be too much.

What are the benefits of using incense?
In addition to filling your room with a delicious smell, many feel that incense has positive effects on their minds. Some say that incense helps manage stress, improves mood, and stimulates creativity. Certain types of incense also help keep bugs away.

What is the best incense for sleep?
If you’re looking for the ultimate relaxation, look for bedroom incense in scents like lavender, chamomile, sandalwood, and other calming smells. When paired with an incense burner, mood lighting, and your favorite calming tunes on your Bluetooth speaker, you’ll be relaxed in no time.
