So for the love of all things comfy-cozy, weve commited to creating our snuggliest, dreamiest bed ever. Here, 10 genius tips to make your own. Grade Over Thread Count Listen up, people: Your softest, silkiest sheets are not just a matter of thread count. Theyre a matter of cotton quality. Look for 100 percent pure organic or Egyptian cotton for your absolute coziest linens. Bonus tip: Tuck It All In Wanna know whats not cozy? Chilly bare feet sticking off the end of the bed. To make your bedding a cocoon of warmth, tuck the top sheet and your base blanket in on both sides of the bed as well as at the foot. Bonus tip Watch this video to see how the pros do itGet Down To achieve the ultimate comfy bed look and feel, a fluffy down comforter is an absolute must. Its like wrapping yourself in marshmallow fluff.Bonus tip Watch this video for the easiest way to stuff a duvet.Leave Something Imperfect Theres a fine line between a perfect bed and one that looks, well, sterile. After all, you want your bed to say Hop in! not Dont touch. The easiest way to avoid the latter? Leave one detail slightly mussed or rumpled. An artfully tossed throw, for example, just begs to be curled up in. Buy Your Bed a Knit Speaking of throws, what could possibly be cozier than a bed-sized sweater? Put one of the luxurious, massive wool knits currently breaking Pinterest on your wish list.Layer Up You heard our spiel about cool weather outfit layering. Same rules apply here (layers add visual and physical warmth). Our favorite blanket-layering combo is a top sheet followed by a light blanket, a big ole comforter and throw to finish.Know Your Pillow Types... Mass amounts of pillows are key ingredients for a mega-cozy bed. So why, pray tell, would you toss a few lumpy standard pillows on the mattress and call it a day? Check out the adjacent picture to familiarize yourself with some different types....And Load Up On Em! The more pillows the merrier, people. For a look thats lush while still refined, try layering back to front. First, place two pillows in pillowcases, followed by two euro shams and finally two front-facing pillows. Accent with a lumbar or bolster pillow for extra flourish.Top Off Your Mattress Mattress covers didnt sound particularly exciting until we discovered that they come in thick, fluffy goose down and even über-cuddly shearling...and then experienced the total bliss that came with adding them to our bed. Give Your Bed a Scent Maybe its a beloved detergent; maybe its a favorite candle on your bedside table. Whatever your olfactory preference may be, having a signature scent associated with your bed is the ultimate comfort.
