10 Easy Tips for A More Cozy and Comfortable Bed (and Better Sleep!)

A comfortable bed is essential for a good night’s sleep. So it can be frustrating to wake up with body pain the next day. However, if you find that your mattress isn’t as comfortable as it used to be, there are multiple things you can do to make your bed comfier. 

Think of buying new pillows or sheets, adding an extra layer to your mattress pad, or even changing the type of pillow you use. This blog post will show some ways that will help you get a better night’s sleep!

10 Tips to a More Comfortable Bed and Better Sleep

Consider trying a few of these ideas on for size. You have nothing to lose except those sleepless nights!

african design1 – Use a mattress pad to protect your bed from spills and stains: 

Start by putting a mattress pad under your fitted sheet. This will protect your bed’s surface from any spills or stains that may happen, and it’ll also add an extra layer for comfort! You can buy a new one if you have trouble finding one in a color you like at home stores, but most people don’t bother. When washing them, always use a gentle detergent to keep their quality high and avoid shrinkage during drying cycles.

2 – Use comfortable pillows: 

This is another way to make yourself more comfortable while sleeping on top of your sheets. Typically when we think about comfy pillowcases, we imagine ones with some amount of padding inside – this isn’t necessary, though; fluffier pillows are just as effective. You’ll want to pick up some that are the right size for your bed.

3 – Add a mattress pad:

Mattress pads are usually made of cotton or wool, and they’re designed to increase the comfort level for people who sleep on their mattresses directly without any sheets (think that’s gross? Don’t worry, it doesn’t happen too often!) They help provide extra cushioning support, which can be especially helpful if you’re sleeping on an old worn-out mattress. It’ll also keep your sheets in place, so there’s no need to spend time tucking them in every morning!

4 – Add a memory foam mattress topper for more comfort: 

If you’re not quite ready to have a new mattress just yet (or if it’s simply out of your budget), adding a memory foam mattress topper can be another great way to make your bed more comfortable. Memory foam mattresses are designed specifically for people who tend to toss and turn when they sleep, so this is perfect for the restless sleeper! You can check the California king mattress topper as it is the best option to go for.

5 – Mix up your pillows:

If you’re one of those people who needs several different types of pillows to get a good night’s sleep, it may be time for an upgrade! Changing the type and number of pillows on your bed could make all the difference in how comfortable you feel while sleeping. Try using more firm or softer pillows depending on what position you usually sleep in – if you like to lie flat but find yourself rolling around at night, try switching out some of your cushier feather-filled pillows with firmer foam ones.

6 – Cozy blankets:

If you find that using multiple layers of sheets or turning down the heat doesn’t seem like enough, consider bringing some coziness into your bedroom by grabbing an extra blanket from around the house. The weightier coverings will help keep you warm while also providing additional comfort since there won’t be much space between them and your body. It’ll also give you peace of mind knowing that you won’t have to go digging for an extra comforter when you head out of the house in a hurry. This is especially important if you live in a colder climate.

Designer bedding is another great way to treat yourself to better sleep. Here’s how to choose it!

7 – Get rid of the bed skirt for a more spacious feel:

If you just can’t stand how cluttered the space under your mattress feels, consider getting a new bed skirt. This will make it feel like there is more floor to walk on and help create an illusion of having less clutter in your bedroom. Alternatively, if you’re really into decorating and want something with a little more style than what is offered by most retailers, get creative and sew one yourself! 

8 – Put down a comfy rug on top of flooring: 

This will make it feel like you’re sleeping on something plush and soft. It will also offer you the added benefit of not having to worry as much about slipping on your floor when you rise from the bed. Apart from the safety, it will also add a stylish touch to your bedroom.

9 – If you feel too hot at night, try using a cooling mattress pad:

If AC is scarce in your home or apartment and the temperature outside rises during the summer months, adding an extra layer might help keep you cool while sleeping. You can find these pads online, and they are very affordable!

10 – Keep away any items that might be distracting before going to sleep:

It can be challenging to relax and unwind when children or pets are running around the house. To prepare for a restful sleep, you should make sure that your bedroom is free from any distractions before going to bed at night. You should also put away things like your cellphone, tv remote, or laptop that might be a distraction.

Things to consider while making a more comfortable bed:

  • Keep an eye on your budget: It can be tempting to buy new items for your bedrooms, such as a mattress pad or bed sheets. But before you do so, make sure that you set aside enough money to purchase these items without going into debt!
  • If it’s possible, try out the item before buying: You may think that some of the tips on ways to make your bed more comfortable are worth trying, and others aren’t. Before making any purchases, though, see if there is an opportunity for you to test them first by renting or borrowing from a friend instead of purchasing expensive items like mattresses just because they seem appealing online.
  • Keep in mind how often changes will need to be made: It might sound great at first when someone tells you about ways to make your bed more comfortable, but some ways might not be as practical long-term. For example, if you find that the mattress pad or pillow is too heavy and causes you to sweat during sleep, it may not work well for you in the future, depending on how often changes will need to be made.

Try implementing a few of their ideas. It might take a little bit of trial and error. But in the long run, these tips will assist you in finding ways to make your bed more comfortable, get better sleep, and feel great in the morning!  Happy zzzzz’s!
