Look for a Mattress for Sale and Make Your Bed Like a Pro
The way you make your bed says a lot about you and it certainly can add to the elegant character of the room. After finding a mattress for sale that suits your needs, the next step is to find the right linen to go with it. Here are a few tips to steer you in the right direction.
Six Tips to Make the Bed Like a Pro
Instead of only focusing on the appearance when you browse for a mattress for sale, you should consider how relaxing it is, or can be. Your bedroom is your sanctuary and the place you go to unwind. With a bed being the main feature, it’s important to invest in a quality mattress if you want it to be spectacular. Once you have selected one that fits your sleeping requirements, budget and lifestyle, it’s time to look at styling points such as these:
- Choose the pillows carefully.
- Buy different bedding for winter and summer.
- Select the right size in blankets and comforters.
- Consider a headboard or footboard.
- Shop for side tables and lamps to match the bed style.
Aside from the mentioned key points, it’s also important to get sheets. If you do go with fitted sheets, only do so once you’ve selected the mattress, so you can measure the thickness and size properly. If the fitted sheet is too small, it shoots up every chance it gets, forcing you to remake the bed. If it’s too large, it simply fits loosely and becomes all wrinkly. As alternative, select a flat sheet and just make sure it’s large enough to fit around the mattress and can be tucked in.
Ditch the Excess Throw Pillows
Of course, having multiple small squares, round and flat pillows distributed around the top part of the bed can look lovely, but can be a hassle to place daily, not to mention that most of the time these get taken off to make space for sleeping. Rather purchase only the pillows that you will actually use as part of the sleeping arrangement.
We have a few different types of luxury pillows for sale in addition to the range of mattresses we offer for sale. You might be wondering if your bed can still look enticing even without all the extra cushions, and the answer is a resounding yes! You can replace the empty space with your favourite hot water bottle, or the book you plan to read at night. This way you still get to add those decorative touches without having to spend a lot of time placing squares all over.
Size Matters in Mattresses
When you shop our mattresses for sale, make sure about the size of the bed base by measuring it properly. You don’t want to end up with a mattress that hangs over the side or only covers three quarters of the base. Assess whether or not you have enough space in the room for the size bed you plan on buying. It definitely won’t be fun having to squeeze past the sides to move around. Always choose a comforter or duvet that’s slightly larger or one size up from the bed you own. For a single, get a three-quarter, for a double get a queen, and so on. This will ensure that you and your partner don’t have to play tug of war for bedding. It also looks more stylish when the blanket hangs over the side.
Now that you have the basic décor inspiration, it’s time to find a mattress for sale. Use our store locator to find one of our outlets near you, or use the online shopping facility to place an order from the comfort of your home.
