Whether you live alone and enjoy the comfort of a bed all to yourself or whether you share with your significant other, you want to have a cozy and comfortable bed that makes you feel like you’re lying in an oasis of luxury. With that in mind, we’ve come up with some brilliant suggestions that will help you to turn your bed from merely a place to lie down and sleep to a haven of coziness that you’ll never want to leave.
Get The Mattress Right
Your bed is never going to be comfortable if your mattress is old, worn-out and sagging. You should replace your mattress regularly as dust mites gather inside its fibers, causing allergies and causing poor sleep. Choose the right mattress to suit your preferences. Everyone has a different taste from extra firm to extra soft, so trying out a range of different mattresses to find out which you like best is always wise.
Buy The Best
Probably the key thing to take away from this advice is to always invest in the best for your bed. If you pay a bargain basement price for your duvet covers and sheets, you’re not going to get a luxury experience. That’s why paying close attention to the construction of the fabric, the thread count and the material itself when choosing bedding is essential. 100% cotton sheets are a must-have. If you can, try to feel the sheets and duvet covers before you buy. If you buy online you can’t try out the “hand-feel” of the sheets, and that’s the only way you’re going to know for sure if they’re soft enough. Choose either a down or a down alternative comforter for the most luxurious feel. Don’t forget to wash your bedding regularly too for that freshly laundered smell and feel.
Get The Right Number And Type Of Pillows
Just because you have a double bed doesn’t mean you have to stick to just four pillows, with two for each sleeper. Having a lot of pillows on your bed looks very stylish, so you can add more pillows in different shapes and sizes for extra visual appeal. You can always remove them before you go to sleep. Consider adding a couple of extra-large pillows which are perfect for sitting up to read or watch TV and think about getting pillows which are designed specifically to suit the needs of different sleepers. You can now find pillows that have been created to offer the optimal level of comfort for back sleepers, stomach sleepers and side sleepers and these options are more comfortable for the individual than simply using a standard pillow.
Forget Top Sheets
Although top sheets might be standard in hotels, there’s no need for you to have one on your bed at home. Nobody can see it and it just ends up getting tangled in your legs and making a mess for you to sort out in the morning. Simply use a quality duvet cover to protect the comforter and get rid of the sheet. It cuts down on fuss in the mornings and it’s a lot more comfortable during your sleep.
Add A Mattress Topper
Even if you’ve just invested in a new mattress, a mattress topper pad is a perfect way to add an extra layer of softness and luxury to your bed. A memory foam mattress pad conforms to the shape of your body as you sleep, helping to support you and eliminate any aches and pains in your joints so you won’t just sleep better, you’ll feel more refreshed in the morning. Mattress pads also help to make you feel warmer on cold nights for even more coziness. If you’d prefer a down mattress pad, make sure that you choose one that has pockets sewn into it to ensure the down is evenly spread throughout the pad.
Follow these top tips and your bed will become the comfortable haven that you’ve been dreaming of. With the perfect mattress, mattress pad, pillows and bedding, you’ll be lying in an oasis of luxury every night. What could be better?
