Hotel beds are the best. Right?? Nice hotels, that is. They’re just so cozy and inviting. Here are a few tips as to how you can make your bed cozy on a budget.

The Basics

Layers. Probably the most important piece to all of this. The more layers you add, the cozier the bed feels and looks. Of course, who doesn’t want that?

First off, material matters. If nothing else, remember this. Cotton, linen, down… those are all safe, good quality choices. When you start branching into polyester, microfiber, etc, it can quickly lose the appeal.

While I was collecting my current bedding, cotton (or linen) was a major priority. I ended up settling on a thick blanket over a quilt, simply to get the nicer fabric inside of my budget. Maybe this doesn’t bother you, I just prefer pure fabric, over synthetic, in all areas of my life.

I also LOVE duvet covers, mostly because they’re easily washed or replaced, and the down insert adds so much cozy.

  • Duvet
  • Waffle Knit Blanket
  • Olive Green Throw Pillows
  • Euro Shams

If you don’t have these already… make sure to also get these inserts.

While they might seem expensive, they are actually such a good investment, because they’ll last you forever. However, when you’re ready to mix things up, you’ll just replace the duvet cover, keep the comforter.

  • 26×26 Inserts (down)

Watch it all come together

Piecing it all together

Once you have all of the pieces, it’s time to make your bed. I know I said this earlier, but layers are key.

Start with your sheets and pillows, then quilt/blanket. From there, add your euros, shams, and throw pillows. Add your duvet and voila! All done.

I hope you found this super simple and helpful.

The goal is always to provide simple and affordable ideas and options for you guys.
