Alternatives to headphones for white noise while sleeping

Seeking Advice
1

I want to listen to white noise all night while I sleep. I want the sound to be immersive. Headphones would be great sound-wise but I can’t wear them all night. Any other ideas besides a single Bluetooth speaker on my nightstand (which I’m thinking wouldn’t be immersive)?

Air purifier.

Big box fan. I’ve been using fans for over 20 years

Couldn’t you just get two speakers for each side? I know they make headphones in headband form that you can wear while sleeping, though that doesn’t seem much better to me. But hey, if people can get used to CPAPs then maybe this could be adjusted to as well.

Thanks for the idea about the headbands. I’ll look into those.

I love falling asleep with my Oculus 3 on my head - playing spatial rain noises. I do wish I could find similar open headsets. I’m looking at Sony Link Buds

Do you have a surround sound system? You can play the sounds from the TV. I use mine to watch movies, and sometimes I feel like I’m part of it.
