How to layer and style a bed like a designer is easier than you think! Let’s show you every yummy textured layer and discuss how to make a bed you can’t wait to sink in to.
YOUR MATTRESS: THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR BED
It all starts with a good mattress! We spend 1/3 of our lives in bed, so make sure your body is happy with what it is laying on.
A mattress is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your home, so be sure and protect it! There are all sorts of mattress protectors on the market, and I’ve tried a lot of them.
When it comes to your sheets, you have many choices! Cotton, printed, white, colored, bamboo, knit, woven, thread count, luxury or thrift store (ewe) . . . but I prefer to keep it simple. Linen. Always 100% pure flax, delectable linen.
The flat sheet will go on top of the fitted sheet – which I am sure you are already aware of. But I have been to hotels or airbnb’s that seem to miss this idea, and have left off the flat top sheet.
Place a very thin blanket or quilt on top of the flat sheet. In the warmer months, a top sheet and this thin blanket is likely all you will need. The rest can be pulled back.
