Have you ever stayed at a luxury hotel or resort and did not want to get out of bed? Chances are the mattress and bedding were holding on to you, keeping you surrounded by comfort. Recreating that feeling at home is not that difficult.
Spend your dollars on a high-quality mattress to support you while you sleep. You should not have to replace it again for 10-20 years depending on the brand. I really love the new memory foam-type mattresses. They are really comfortable and cradle your body in luxury. Next, cover your mattress with a padded cover. It can be easily removed for cleaning and will prolong the life of your mattress.
You may notice when you stay in a hotel that the sheets are probably white. I love crisp, white sheets with at least a 250 or more thread count. If you live in a colder climate, a thick down comforter will keep you warm on the chilly nights. In the summer or if you live in a warmer area, a down blanket will be sufficient. Both are very plush and surround your body with naturally insulating feathers. No matter which you choose, place inside of a duvet cover to provide a decorative touch and keep the comforter or blanket clean.
I prefer a firm pillow for sleeping to support my neck. In addition, I like to make the bed with standing European pillows in the back, my sleeping pillows in the middle and a decorative bolster pillow out front with the comforter or blanket turned down to expose some of the sheets. The next time you need a vacation, invest that money into your bed, close the bedroom door and relax!
