Steps to warm up your bed in winters
Since winter is on its way, get ready to
take out warm bedding and winter bedsheets out of your lofts.
Amalgamation of both traditional and modern style bedding will make you stay
warm during the cold winter nights. Consider some tips that can make you sleep
like a baby during winters.
A good way to keep your bedding winter
ready is to create a loft and trap air in layers above and around you by adding
layers to your bed. Proper layering is important because it would decide how
warm would you want as the temperature of your room and body keeps changing
throughout the night.
Use
Wool mattress toppers and bed underlays – Use a
wool mattress topper as the first layer of your bed since it’s important to
insulate your body. A good quality winter bed sheets would be a good option.
You can use a high quality linen bed sheet or cotton bed sheet, as due to high
thread count and natural fibres keeps the sweat away from your body and they
can be changed and washed regularly.
Mid
Weight woollen blanket – As per your requirements,
use a mid weight blanket made of cotton or micro fibre. In case you are feeling
cold then add a feather doona or down comforter above the blanket. In case you
start feeling hot during the night then you can remove the comforter to adjust
the body temperature. Another good option would be wear socks while sleeping if
the outside temperature is too cold.
Apart from
that you can also use electric mattress toppers as well to overcome the heating
problems. You can time the electric mattress toppers as per the time required
for heating and then than shut it once you feel the temperature is as per your
desire.

using winter bed sheets and toppers
there are other methods as well through which you can keep the room temperature
warm.

your house also gets cold and by using a thick floor rug in your room, you can
