Introduction
Making your bed is an art. You can’t just throw a bunch of blankets on there and hope for the best. If you want to wow your guests with your bed, it needs to be well-designed, cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and full of softness. The key to a great bed is layers! Today we’ll go over how to create five different layers on your bed that will make it feel like you’re sleeping with clouds all year long. At first it might seem overwhelming, but once you get into the swing of things and discover what works best for you, you’ll be able to layer like a pro!
First, start with your sheets.
The first layer of your bed is the most important: sheets. You should always start with a good set of sheets. The right set will be soft and breathable, fit your mattress well, be easy to clean and maintain, and last indefinitely. There are many different types of material that can be used for making sheets, but cotton is one of the most common choices because it is so versatile. Cotton has properties that not only keep you cool in summer but also warm in winter (by absorbing moisture from sweat). While some people prefer wool or fleece because they think those materials will keep them warmer at night during colder months, others simply don’t enjoy their scratchy feel next to their skin! Some people may find cotton uncomfortable too since it doesn’t have much elasticity—meaning there isn’t much give during movement throughout sleep cycles.
For those reasons I personally recommend jersey sheet sets made out of 100% cotton jersey fabric instead; these are soft enough not too make you feel like you’re sleeping on rocks while still being durable enough not feel flimsy when stretched across mattress corners where they’ll inevitably face friction over time due to repeated use while sleeping peacefully every night through all four seasons throughout our lives’ journeys together here on earth!
Second, add a mattress cover.

A mattress cover is the layer immediately below your mattress, and it plays an important role in how comfortable your bed is. A good one will add another layer of softness, while a bad one could make you feel like you’re sleeping on a rock.
What is a mattress pad?
A mattress pad is a comforter that goes over your existing mattress to protect it from stains and wear-and-tear. It can also add extra warmth at night if you live in colder climates—or just if you like things nice and snuggly! This can be especially useful if there are children or pets in the house who might soil or tear up the bottom of their mattresses with regular use (though hopefully not).
Why do I need one?
Basically every time someone sits down on their sofa or couch, they’re going to get oils from their skin transferred onto its fabric; these oils will eventually stain those fabrics unless they’re cleaned regularly, which means they should probably be cleaned professionally once every six months or so when possible (this costs money). But what about beds? Well… beds get used differently than sofas do: people tend not only sleep on them but also sit upon them when getting dressed/undressed; both activities require putting some kind of pressure on that surface which means more oils being transferred over time – meaning eventually those mattresses will become stained unless something prevents this from happening.”
Third, pick a mattress pad.
Choose a mattress pad that is made of breathable fabric and has a high thread count. You should also look for a hypoallergenic and anti-microbial mattress pad, as this will help to keep allergens from getting stuck in the material. If you can, buy two or three different sizes of pads to see which one fits best on your bed.
A good mattress pad will have an elastic border all around it so it won’t slip off easily when you move around during sleep. It should also be easy to clean—you don’t want something that takes forever! Finally, consider how much protection you need: do you want extra padding underneath your sheets? What about warmth? Make sure whatever type of pad works best with those needs before making your choice!
Fourth, add a blanket.
Once you’ve added the foam and sheets, it’s time to add a blanket. Blankets are warm, cozy and provide another layer of protection against cold air. You might also want to use a blanket if you’re concerned about dust mites in your mattress or bedding—blankets can help keep them away!
Blankets are also useful as decorative pieces—they come in all kinds of colors and designs, so they’re great ways to add some color and texture to your room. Plus, blankets can be used for warmth or aesthetics (or both). For example:
- A light-colored cotton blanket is perfect for springtime warmth; it’ll keep those spring breezes at bay without making you too hot during summer months.
- A woolen blanket will keep you nice and warm during winter months; its texture adds some character to any bedroom design scheme as well.*If there’s one thing I’d advise when choosing an aesthetic piece like this one: don’t overthink what kind of style best fits your space! Just choose something that suits both yourself as well as who lives with/visits often.*
Fifth, finish it off with a comforter and/or duvet cover.

If you have a duvet, use a duvet cover as well. Otherwise, just finish the bed off with another comforter or quilt on top of your mattress pad and sheets. You can also add some pillows if you want to make things extra cozy!
Once everything is in place on top of your mattress pad and sheets (including the pillows), zip up any zippers that are connected to these items so that they don’t get caught under your pillowcases or other pieces of fabric when someone is lying down on them later on during their sleep cycle(s).

There are many factors to consider when choosing bedding. You want something soft and comfortable, easy to clean, durable and also easy to store.
Bed sheets can cost upwards of $100 but the quality of the fabric is worth paying for. It should feel good against your skin and last a long time without looking worn out.
Duvet covers should be made from a breathable material like cotton which allows air flow through the cover so that it doesn’t trap heat inside the duvet cover like synthetic fabrics would do.
Conclusion
There are many ways to achieve the right balance of warmth and comfort in your bed, and some people might be happier with a different approach than this one. But our goal here is to help you figure out how to make the best bed possible, so good luck! With these tips, your mind can rest easy knowing that you’ve found the best way to keep yourself comfortable as well as stylish.
