Struggling to get proper rest in your bed? A poorly made bed could be the culprit. The foundation of a good night's sleep starts with a finely made bed with proper layering and reliable bedding products.
A Hunch.com survey shows that 71% of regular bed-makers reported themselves to be happier than 62% of non-bed-makers.
A perfectly made bed is not mere aesthetics but comfort, improved sleep quality, and eventually a healthy lifestyle. The right layers with quality bedding products and an organized bed-making routine are essential to turn your bed into a sanctuary.
The Primary Layers of a Perfect Bedding
A perfect bed needs perfect layering in the right order. However, choosing the right bedding products is the trick to perfecting your bed-making skills.
Mattress - The Foundation
A soft and supportive mattress is the core of good sleep. Your mattress should have a spine-support feature, a plush touch, and most importantly, a fresh feel.
But even the best quality mattresses need reliable protection to keep your mattress fresh and long-lasting.
For enhanced comfort, plusher feel, and keeping your mattress safe from stubborn spills, we at DZEE Home craft waterproof mattress pads. Crafted with hypoallergenic microfiber fabric, our mattress pads offer outstanding support and durability. They feature a slip-proof, four-corner elastic anchor band for your peaceful night's sleep.
Bedsheets - The Base Layers
A comfortable bed starts with the right and perfectly fitted sheets. Here’s how you can choose, style, and put your bedsheets for the most comfortable yet aesthetic bed.
Fabric :
-
Cotton, for crips feel.
-
Polyester, for durability.
-
Thread count: Look for a 200 thread count or higher for reliable durability and softness.
It’s best to look for 100% cotton sheets or blended bedsheets that are cotton-rich with a blend of polyester. So you sleep on a comfortable, crisp bedsheet that can sustain plenty of wash cycles.
How to Put on Fitted Bedsheets Properly
Putting on a fitted sheet is quite easy once you master the routine.
-
Look for the tag or seam - this usually marks the foot of the bed.
-
Stretch the elastic corner over the top right or left corner of the mattress first.
-
Pull the fitted sheets tightly to the opposite corner, creating tension so it stays put.
-
Attach the other two corners, keeping the sheet tight.
-
Run your hands under the edges and smooth out any wrinkles.
Pro tip: Look for deep-pocket fitted sheets that won’t pop off.
Decorative Bed Scarves
If you want your bed to look aesthetically pleasing and protect your fitted sheets with style, look for 100% colorfast polyester decorative bed scarves.
Pillows - The Support System
Placement and quantity of your pillows are crucial for a properly made bed. Here’s how to choose and set pillows perfectly on your bed.
Sleeping pillows
Get two standard or queen-size pillows. Fluff them out and stand them upright against your headboard.
Euro Shams
Get 2-3 positioned behind sleeping pillows, if using. Fluff them out to fill the width of the bed.
Lumber Pillows
Add one or two lumber pillows in front of the sleeping pillows, slightly tilted.
How To Choose The Right Sleeping Pillow
Choosing the right pillow according to your sleeping style can make or break your sleep pattern.
For Side Sleepers
Side sleepers need soft yet firm pillows. Look for medium support down alternative pillows with a thread count of at least 200. So you can have a comfortable pillow touch with perfect neck support.
For back Sleepers
It’s important to maintain spine support for back sleepers. Our Down Alternative Pillows offer the perfect support and softness with their cluster fiber, adjusting with your movements.
For Stomach Sleepers
For stomach sleepers, a gel fiber pillow is ideal as it prevents your head from being elevated too much, thereby avoiding neck pain.
Bellem Micro Gel Fiber Pillow is designed to provide a cooling, adjustable head level that eliminates any chances of neck pain during your sleep.
