How to cozy up your sleep sanctuary

Let’s quickly flip your hot, stuffy, sleepless bedroom into the sleep sanctuary of your dreams with just a few affordable solutions! Here are some tips from IKEA designers to help give your bedroom a stylish makeover so you can get a better, comfier night’s sleep.

Maximize your comfort zone

The moment you walk into the bedroom, you should feel comfy and stay that way until the alarm goes off. Who knows, maybe you’ll even be so cozy you’ll hit snooze a few times!

Starting with your bed, try an upholstered headboard for extra softness and layer your pillows and bedding. This creates aesthetically soothing textures as well as provides multiple options so you can sleep comfortably no matter how the temperature changes. Layer in a thin duvet for staying cool, a thicker duvet for warmth and maybe a soft throw for cat naps.

For extra cozy feels, how about crafting your own sleep cocoon? You can easily make a canopy above your bed using drapes. It’ll feel like a warm, cozy hug every time you lay down!

An air purifier is another way to increase comfort while you sleep. It’ll eliminate allergens and pollutants so you can breathe easier, which can lead to better sleep.

Manage lights and sound for sounder sleep

Too much daylight can outshine your beauty sleep, so controlling the light in your room is a must. Try using multiple solutions and layers. You can use blinds to block the sunlight, sheers to filter light and a curtain to provide even more texture and relief from the sun. Layering your window treatments will also elevate the style and vibe in your room.

Rugs are an easy way to create comfort and absorb noise. Curtains can also help. But sometimes certain sounds, especially white noise, may help you sleep.

Our SYMFONISK speaker lamp, which can be controlled with a remote when you’re too cozy to stand, is a great option that will bring serious style to your bedroom and play music or whatever other soothing sounds may help you slumber. Sweet dreams!
