I know of the under mattress thing (Beddit for example), but I've never heard of headbands for consumers. What companies are offering those?

The two I know of that are still running are Dreem (the one I went with) and Philips SmartSleep.
I chose Dreem at the time because it looked more comfortable (no ear covering) and was more readily available in my part of the world. It looks like Philips also has consumable components, which I'm not a fan of.
I've been using it for months now and I'm happy with it.
It also has a feature to "stimulate" your brain to improve deep sleep and it tells me it's quite effective (comparing with stimulation sleep to without stimulation sleep), though I can't say I've noticed a huge difference.
I have a watch, an under-mattress tracker and a headband with a ton of sensors (including an EEG). Typically, none of these agree with each other (and I trust the headband to actually be accurate).
I'd strongly recommend consulting a sleep specialist.
One thing you haven't mentioned is cognitive behavioural therapy, which is often the first thing people will be recommended.
