A comfortable bed makes a difference when getting a good night’s rest. But if you're tossing and turning at night, it might be time to assess your bedding and see what you can improve. You might ask yourself, “How can I make my bed cozier?” If so, you've come to the right place. This blog will offer valuable insights on how to make your bed more comfortable. You'll discover how small changes can help you create a cozy, supportive, and restful bed setup that enhances sleep quality and relaxation, without spending a fortune.
One simple way to make your bed cozier is with Yumerest’s cloud-like fluffy duvets. These soft, breathable comforters are designed for optimal support and temperature regulation, helping you stay comfortable and relaxed all night long.
How to Make Your Bed More Comfortable With Simple, Affordable Tweaks
Enhancing bed comfort starts with the right duvet and pillows. To choose the perfect duvet, consider your unique sleep style. Opt for a down or feather-filled duvet with a lofty, luxurious feel. If you want something lightweight and hypoallergenic, a synthetic duvet may be better suited for your needs.
Select a duvet with the right tog rating for the season. This will ensure you’re not too hot or cold throughout the year.

This premium Canadian duvet stands apart from competitors like Happy Fluffy Cloud and Hush through its ethically sourced northern down that perfectly regulates temperature year-round, never too hot, just perfectly cozy.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Crafted by expert artisans with techniques perfected since 1946, our duvets combine traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation for an unparalleled sleeping experience.
The PureFlow bundle, featuring our heavenly duvet, elegant cover, and calming sleep mist, creates a complete sleep sanctuary that helps busy professionals and parents finally achieve the rejuvenating rest they deserve. Get deep sleep every night with our cloud-like soft, fluffy duvets.
Change Your Duvet Tog Seasonally
Tog stands for thermal overall grade, a unit of measurement used to determine the insulation of soft furnishings. The higher the tog rating, the warmer the product! Seeing as the climate is ever-changing, it makes sense to have bedding for every season.
The scale ranges from one to 15 togs, with anything above 13 being the best option for autumn and winter. If you don't have the budget or space for multiple bedding sets, a 10.5 tog duvet is a good compromise for all-year-round use.
Find the Right Mattress for Better Sleep
Your mattress plays a pivotal role in your bed’s comfort level. The wrong mattress can cause discomfort and difficulty sleeping, while the right mattress can offer several benefits, including improved support and more restorative sleep. The best mattress choice varies based on several factors, including:
-
Body weight
-
Sleeping position
-
Personal comfort preferences
Key Factors
Some people may like a firmer or softer bed, or prefer the feel of a specific type of material. If you’re thinking about making your bed more comfortable by getting a new mattress, consider:
-
Mattress type
-
Firmness level
-
Sleeping position
-
Body type
These factors can help narrow your options and improve your optimal mattress.
Try a Mattress Topper for Added Comfort
A mattress topper is a two to four-inch layer of material, such as memory foam, latex, or wool, that you can add to a mattress to extend its lifespan. Mattress toppers can change the feel of your mattress, making it firmer or softer and modifying its performance to suit your needs. Like when choosing a mattress, you want to consider how well a topper matches your:
-
Body weight
-
Sleeping position
-
Budget
Other factors to consider include heat retention and whether your fitted sheets will fit over the combined:
-
Height of your mattress
-
A topper
Upgrade Your Sheets for a Cool, Comfortable Sleep
Sheets play an essential role in providing a healthy night’s sleep because they can:
-
Regulate body temperature
-
Create a relaxing sleep surface
Upgrading your sheets can keep your bed inviting and fresh while boosting comfort.
Choose Cozy Bedding to Make Your Bed More Inviting
Beyond swapping your sheets, surrounding yourself with cozy, high-quality bedding can turn your bed into an inviting resting place. Comforters involve large exterior material filled with:
-
Cotton
-
Down
-
Wool
-
Down alternative
Duvets are warm bed covers consisting of two pieces of fabric typically filled with down, wool, or synthetic fibers and stitched together. Quilts are thin blankets commonly made of three layers: a decoratively stitched top layer, a batting layer, and a plain fabric bottom layer. Weighted blankets are purposely made to feel heavy and are thought to help promote a feeling of calm.

Heated Blankets
Heated blankets contain electrical wires that heat up to warm the blanket. They can make a bed feel cozy, especially during the winter, and may also be used to ease:
-
Aches
-
Discomfort
Not every manufacturer uses these terms. You should look closely at each product’s:
-
Design
-
Materials
Quality and Warmth
Once you know what type of bedding you want, look for a brand and model that offers high-quality materials and an overall performance that generates the level of warmth that is ideal for your sleep setup.
Use the Right Foundation for Your Mattress
To get the most out of your mattress, you want a foundation that suits your mattress type and gives you the highest level of support. Box springs consist of a wooden or metal frame filled with coils. They are sturdy and supportive, allowing them to work with many mattresses. Box springs can also supplement the bounce from:
-
Innerspring
-
Hybrid mattresses
A platform bed is typically made of wood or metal and provides a solid surface for a mattress. Some platform beds may include slats and have a high or low profile. A platform bed base is often suitable for:
-
Memory foam
-
Hybrid or latex mattresses
Bed Foundations
Slatted foundations are made of wood or metal. The mattress sits on slats with gaps typically less than four inches apart. Because they provide even support, slats can work well with most mattress types. An adjustable bed frame allows sleepers to incline the upper part of the mattress or raise the part under the legs.
Because all-foam mattresses can often bend and bounce back to their standard shape, they pair well with this type of foundation. A bunkie board is made of plywood or particleboard and can be added to an existing bed base for:
-
Additional support
-
Firmness
Warranty Compliance
Bunkie boards generally work best with all-foam mattresses. Some mattress warranties require the use of a specific foundation. If purchasing a new mattress, look closely at the manufacturer's documentation for directions about what foundation to use.
Add Layers for a Luxurious Look
A well-layered bed looks stylish and feels incredibly cozy, especially in the winter months. The layering technique is essential when making a bed more comfortable. Start with a high-quality fitted sheet, and add a flat sheet for an extra layer of softness (if you already have a mattress protector, you can skip this step).
Follow this up with your preferred choice of duvet and don’t forget to layer a stylish throw or two for those extra chilly nights. Not only does this add warmth. It also allows you to inject tones and textures into your bedding ensemble for a more gorgeous look.
Rotate or Flip Your Mattress for Even Wear
Spending so much time resting our weary heads leads to mattresses sagging. Flipping your mattress to distribute weight evenly and increase lifespan is a straightforward solution. Some designs only have supportive layers on one side, with foam or metal springs on the other. Check the label before attempting any maneuvers.
If flipping isn't possible, simply rotate your mattress to smooth out lumps and bumps from concentrated pressure.
Replace or Remove Worn-Out Box Springs
Box springs are part of the cloth-covered wooden frame that supports your mattress, and they're susceptible to damage over time. When they're nearing the end of their life, you might notice an annoying creaking sound that gets louder as you move.
It's easy to replace tired box springs yourself, and they usually last for ten years. If you have a metal or slatted platform bed frame, you can remove it entirely for improved comfort.
Install a New Headboard for Support and Style
Sleeping isn't the only activity in bed. Reading or watching Netflix is far more enjoyable when you install a sturdy headboard to support your neck. Relaxation aside, headboards also shield both you and your walls from knocks. Avid DIYers can craft personalized headboards from old bits of plywood or unused pallets.
Once sanded and secured, you'll have a Scandi-inspired bolster oozing rustic charm. For convenience, you can buy a ready-made one.
Finish With Cozy Cushions and Plush Pillows
The final step in making your bed extra comfy is adding finishing touches that make your bed not only a joy to sleep in, but also look at. Cushions and decorative pillows:
-
Provide the final layer of comfort
-
Allow you to bring some unique style to your bedroom
Mix and match textures, sizes, and colours to create a bed that feels as inviting as it looks.
