When winter weather hits your city with gusting winds, heavy snowfall, and freezing overnight temperatures, there’s nothing more satisfying than being able to retreat to a warm, cozy bedroom for the evening. If your current sleeping space falls short of the comfortable and inviting sanctuary you’ve always envisioned, don’t worry – the solution might be as simple as adding a foam mattress topper! But there are plenty of other elements besides using a memory foam topper that you can take advantage of when it comes to upgrading your space for winter and creating the bedroom of your dreams.
Upgrade Your Bedroom with Cozy Bedding
The first thing we recommend doing is putting flannel sheets on the bed for added warmth when you sleep. Be sure to choose quality flannel sheets that become soft and fluffy over time rather than threadbare and scratchy. Additionally, use an electric blanket or electric throw to keep the bed warm and toasty all night long without having to run the furnace. We also recommend investing in a genuine or synthetic down comforter for the ultimate in warmth retention. Though down comforters tend to be pricey, they will last for many years with the right care, so they’re worth the money.
Invest in a Foam Mattress Topper
Treat yourself to a memory foam topper for contoured, targeted support where your body needs it most. Here at Foam by Mail, we have memory foam mattress toppers available in 3 lb., 4 lb., and 5lb. densities to make it easier to choose the level of support required. Check out our blog for more information on the different types of foam mattress toppers we offer. We have a great post on the differences between memory foam and egg crate foam, and another on reasons to buy a memory foam mattress topper.
Elevate Your Pillow Setup
Consider using support pillows, including wedges, oval bolsters, and full-body pillows, for overnight support under your knees, neck, shoulders, back, and other achy parts.
Take Advantage of Area Rugs
Put area rugs over hardwood floors or layer them on top of carpeting for superior warmth and softness whenever you step out of bed. Seek out rugs with soft, fuzzy textures for the best results.
Upgrade Your Headboard
Try a tufted headboard instead of wood to make sitting upright while watching Netflix or using your laptop a more comfortable experience. Tufted headboards are surprisingly easy to DIY and are much less expensive than wood.
Don’t Forget The Pets
If you have a “no pets on the bed” policy, be sure to put a memory foam dog bed or cat bed somewhere in the room to give your pet a snug place to curl up (and allow for guilt-free enforcement of the rule). We have an impressive selection of foam pet beds to choose from right here at Foam by Mail!
