How to create a cosy bed and make dreams come true

To dream, you need to sleep. To sleep you need a cosy bed. The comfort, support and temperature all need to be perfect, not only in general terms, but perfect for you. Do you prefer your bed firm and cool, or do you want it to feel like a cloud? The good thing is that it’s very simple to choose: Just follow your cosy bed dream!

Can you improve your sleep in one swift move? Yes.

Let’s face it, a lot of people complain about their sleep, but tend to accept the poor sleeping quality since it feels difficult to change. Well, we don’t believe in “difficult”. Sometimes a new pillow is all you need to take the quality of your sleep to a completely new level! The whole idea of a cosy bed can be split up into different components, and sometimes changing just one of them will make your dreams come true.

 

  • Layers – the smartest way to make a bed.
  • Sheets – they are what’s closest to your skin.
  • Duvets – and the different temperatures they offer.
  • Pillows – there’s one to fit every sleep position.
  • Mattress – the base on which good sleep lays.
  • Mattress pads – control the temperature, prolong the life of the mattress.
  • Atmosphere – what’s going on around you?

Improve your sleep layer by layer

Bedding in layers looks great, but it also works like a control over the temperature, comfort and weight of the bedding. A control so simple you can operate it while sleeping!

Do you want to stay cool or warm up?

Different quilts and pillows can help you achieve that perfect sleep temperature. Should you have a partner with preferences that doesn’t match yours, think about getting two one-person mattresses and/or duvets. And always choose your own pillow. This way, you can both get comfortable.

Who cares if you sleep on your back or on your side?

We do. Depending on your sleep position, your head, neck and back needs different kinds of support to stay relaxed and comfortable all night. That’s the primary reason we offer so many kinds of pillows. The other reason is that the pillows can help you stay cool or keep warm, depending on your preferences. So make sure to use your head when choosing the right pillow!

A perfect match

Not unlike a really good sandwich, a bed is made up of layers. We like to call it the sleep sandwich. Since every layer of your bed is affected by the other parts, it’s the combination that makes magic. If you don’t feel that your bed has that magic, it could be just one part that needs to be changed or added! Perhaps it is the mattress pad? That added layer not only prolongs the lifespan of the mattress below, but also helps you customize both the comfort and temperature in the bed.

There are more to a cosy bed than the actual bed

Comfort, light, temperature, sound, air quality and declutter all effect the quality of your sleep, and luckily they are very easy to improve. An air-purifyer does wonders in a bedroom, a rug beside the bed adds comfort, blinds keep the light out and, speaking of light, how about SYMFONISK speaker lamp? Doesn’t that sound like music to your ears?
