Think about how well you slept last night. Did you wake up feeling refreshed? Achy? Overheated? Even if you ''do'' sleep well every night, the odds are good you could go with some new linens and pillows far too long, be it from stylistic or microbial perspectives. A bedding upgrade may be just what you need to sleep soundly each and every night.
Quilts and Comforters
The most obvious change one can make to their bedding is the top layer, changing up the quilt, bedding sets.
Materials
Down comforters have the advantage of being warm and fluffy. Depending on the fillcomforter'>600 count fill or higher. Down comforters can be found with the following materials as filling.
Seasonal Options
If you've recently moved to a different climate or if you've just never built up a suitable supply of weatherbased bedding.
Bedding Styles and Sets
Though you love them dearly, the day must come when you give up the bed skirts, so you can incorporate different elements; stripes with solids, or matching colors from different sets to better match the colors of your room.
Linens
One should also consider making changes to one's sheets. Since your body is in close contact with the pillow case and sheets, you'll need to seek out materials that are both comfortable and easy to clean. Thread count is typically the foremost consideration when upgrading sheets and pillow cases, as they're an indicator of quality. The higher the thread count, the higher the quality, though it helps to pick a high quality fabric to start with. This can mean the difference between itchy rough cotton and smooth silky paradise .
Pillows
Upgrading your pillows requires a bit more information. While you can pick sheets and blankets based on look, feel, and allergies, with pillows you have to think about a few other things, namely support and fill.
'''Fill'''
Pillow fill is similar to blanket fill in terms of materials, though here we are concerned with loft, or the pillow's ability to expand. Also, depending on the amount of fill, you can get different levels of support, but each type has it's limits.
You should also consider size; upgrading to a king size pillow can feel luxurious, especially if you like to stretch out.
Mattress Pads
A good mattress pad can be like (and sometimes replace) upgrading the mattress itself, adding firmness or softness to your bed and protecting the mattress from various outside liquids and germs. Again fill is a consideration, but since they're largely polyester filled, allergies are less of a concern. You can also look for treated, Bed Linens and Bedding
