Making Your Bed For The Season - Fall/Winter

Your bed is your sanctuary. It’s the place where the monsters can’t get you and the cold shouldn’t be able to reach you, but it can only serve all of those purposes if it’s made perfectly, and what it means for a bed to be “made perfectly” changes from season to season.

The key to making your bed for Fall and Winter is to make the bed comfortable and warm without making it too hot. My tip is to pick either the base or the covering as your main area to tackle. If you’re going to start from the base, I am a strong believer in the heated mattress pad. The mattress pad that I have has ten heat settings, so you can either put it on low heat just to warm up the bed before you jump in, or you can blast it and make that your only source of heat.

Your choice of sheets will absolutely be based on whether or not you use the heated mattress pad. If you don’t, you may want to get jersey sheets. However, it’s important to note that jersey sheets can be deceptive. They don’t seem that hot, but they heat up quickly. If you go with these, you may not end up needing much else. If you decide to tackle the covering first, you’ll want to get a thick and warm comforter. The most controversial piece is the blanket. Some people believe that if you have the perfect comforter and sheets, you don’t need a blanket at all, but when the weather gets cool, I’m all about bringing a blanket back into the mix.

All of these choices are personal preference, and it’s all about trial and error. My suggestion is to get all of the pieces you need and then swap certain items in or out based on the temperature at night.
