Sleeping quarter's today are used for far more than sleeping. It is fairly common to find televisions, video game units, exercise equipment, pet furniture, computers, stereo's, and desks in the room. Even with all of this the bed is still the primary focus. The mattresses themselves need to be considered when purchasing sheets and other items. If the mattress is a pillow-top, using a cover pad may result in too soft of a surface for the person sleeping in the bed. It all depends on what a person likes.
Sheets come in a variety of materials. Cotton, flannel, and satin are the most popular choices. Some designers offer organic cottons for shoppers who wish to use environment-friendly products. Silk is also available and can also be found in certain department stores and ordered online. Silks and cotton can be used year-round whereas flannel is warmer proving to be a good option for colder months.

Wall art, lamps, and light fixtures that appeal to the residents all help make a room inviting. When some cannot sleep in their room due to the mattresses or surroundings, a change should be made.
Many things can be done to a bedroom to make it an enjoyable space. The addition of rugs and mirrors, fresh paint, and new curtains or blinds can provide a welcomed lift. If possible the window should not be blocked. The illumination of natural light simply cannot be beat. Beyond this, in case of an emergency such as a fire, the window may be the only way out. Windows can be made to look very nice while being functional at the same time.
Personal rooms, or bedrooms, can be a delight or a cluttered place. Simply keeping a room clean and orderly goes a long way in visual appeal.
