Reading Time: 3 minutes

Have you ever gazed longingly at those Pinterest-perfect beds and wondered how on earth people get their beds to look so dreamy? Get ready to turn your bedroom into a sanctuary of style and comfort! Imagine impressing yourself and your family with a bed that looks straight out of a luxury magazine. And don’t worry—this isn’t rocket science. Whether you’re a DIY newbie or a seasoned decorator, we’ve got you covered.

Step 1: Start with a Good Mattress

The foundation of any well-layered bed is a good mattress. Ensure your mattress suits your comfort preferences and provides adequate support for a good night's sleep.

Step 2: Add a Mattress Topper

Enhance your comfort by adding a mattress topper. Our Cotton TENCEL™ Down Alternative Mattress Topper is perfect for providing an extra layer of plushness and support. It combines the softness of cotton with the moisture-wicking properties of TENCEL™ to ensure a cool, comfortable sleep.

Step 3: Use a Fitted Sheet and a Flat Sheet

Choose a fitted sheet that fits snugly over your mattress and mattress topper. Our Cotton TENCEL™ Percale Sheet Set is ideal for a crisp, cool feel, while our Cotton TENCEL™ Sateen Sheet Set offers a silky, luxurious touch. Ensure your sheets are smooth and wrinkle-free for a polished look. Place a flat sheet over the fitted sheet.

Step 4: Layer with Quilt, Duvet, or Comforter

Add a lightweight Matelasse Wave Coverlet Set or Pinch Pleated Cotton Comforter for summer months, or opt for the warmth of our Cotton TENCEL™ Duvet Cover Sets for cooler months. Drape these over the sides of the bed for a casual, cozy look.

Step 5: Fold the Top Layer

Fold the top quarter of the duvet or comforter down to expose the flat sheet underneath. This adds depth and texture to your bedding.

Step 6: Arrange Pillows

Start with your sleeping pillows, placing them against the headboard. Then, let your creativity shine by layering in decorative pillows or shams of varying sizes and shapes. For an extra touch of sophistication, include our Cotton TENCEL™ Scalloped Pillowcases and Cotton TENCEL™ Scalloped Euro Sham.

Step 7: Add Throw Pillows

Mix and match textures, colors, and patterns to enhance the overall look. Consider our Cotton Scalloped Throw Pillow Cover for a playful look, Tufted Cotton Wave Throw Pillow Cover for added textures, and Tufted Checkered Cotton Throw Pillow Cover for a classic look. Typically, three to five throw pillows create a balanced appearance, adding depth and personality to your bed.

Step 8: Finish with a Throw Blanket

Drape a throw blanket at the foot of the bed or across the middle for an extra layer of warmth and style. Choose the Intarsia Knit Throw Blanket for its modern design or the Alpaca-Wool Plaid Throw Blanket for its cozy touch. Select a throw that complements your bedding, adding a pop of color or texture to complete the look and enhance the overall ambiance.
