A bed is always the center focus of a bedroom and it is probably where we will be spending most of our night time, sleeping or resting. So it is definitely worth the time to style up and decorate our bed and make it more comfortable, dream-friendly and cozy. These days we don't just make up a bed simply by adding a few sheets and blankets, there are more than just that.
In order to make a nice and comfortable bed, we need work it out layer by layer and that may include all the bedspreads, mattresses, sheets, covers, blankets, pillows and/or duvets. Layers are very practical. You can use more of them or less of them and mix them up in any way to your liking. You can use layers of various colors, fabrics and textures, or colors that complement one another to create a bed of your own style.
The Base
To make a comfortable bed, you should begin with the mattress. If your mattress is old, lumpy and slumps in the middle, you should consider replacing it with a new one before continuing to the next layer. Once you have a firm mattress base, cover it using a mattress protector to keep it clean and to maintain its condition.
After that, you can create a softer sleeping surface by adding a mattress pad or featherbed cover.
The Top
Sheets, blankets and covers are the top layers of a bed and that means they are the closest to your skin. So make sure to choose ultra soft and smooth high cotton sheets with a nice thread count, anywhere between 180 and 500 will do just fine. Experiment with your favorite colors and patterns and pick the ones that can complement your bedroom design.
Accessories
Now that the new bed is near its completion, the last thing that you can do is to add some final touches to it, pillows, pillow shams and decorations. Use throw pillows or cushions to give a cozy and inviting look. Choose colors that coordinate with the sheet and cover.
