subject: Keys To A Cozy Bedroom [print this page] Since you do spend a fair amount of time in your bedroom, the space should be cozy and inviting. Taking steps to increase the comfort your bedroom offers will pay huge, because you will find that you fall asleep faster and sleep better when you are more comfortable in your space.
One key to a bedroom you love is where you sleep. Your bed is not all about how it looks but also how it feels and how it cradles you as you sleep. If your bed looks great and is dressed with the finest linens but keeps you up at night, then it is pretty much useless. To improve your bed for the long haul, take a look at organic mattresses.
Organic mattresses come in a variety of sizes and material compositions. There is the latex mattress, which is very popular; and also organic mattresses can be made of organic cotton or wool. Oftentimes you will find that a latex mattress is covered with organic cotton or wool. This is good for people who have a latex allergy but would still like a latex mattress for their bedroom. Organic mattresses do cost a bit more than your traditional mattress, but they hold their shape longer and reward you with years of great sleep.
Temperature is a big part of how you feel in and about a room. If your bedroom tends to be too hot or too cold, you will actually find that you avoid spending time in it. To make your room as cozy as possible, consider the temperature you are keeping in there. To cool your room down at night, open some windows for the few hours before you go to bed. If your room tends to be too cool, consider adding a small space heater to give warmth without having to run the whole house heater.
Your bedroom should engage your senses of sight and also sound and touch. Dressing the bed with blankets that are soft and fluffy is a great way to do two of those things at once. When blankets are fluffy and soft, you can see it immediately. And then when you drape them over yourself at night, they envelop you in their softness and lull you to restful sleep. Organic sheets under your blankets also tend to be quite soft and comforting.
If the sounds outside your windows are not relaxing, you need to take measures to drown it out. Dual paned windows may be necessary, depending on just how loud outside noises are. However, most of the time you can bring soothing sounds into your room with the help of a fan or even a sound machine. Sound machines can feature all sorts of natural sounds or even sometimes soft music.
Your room is your own private oasis. To make it a haven you loving retreating to at the end of the day takes just a little time and effort; and the rewards your receive are well worth all of it.
