Cozy Bedding Basics: Pillow Inserts & Duvet Inserts

Did you know that teens typically need nine hours of sleep each night? Keeping a regular sleep schedule will help you stay focused throughout your school day and will make managing your stress easier. Making sure you get your sleep can help with your mood and even with your complexion! There are a few essential things you need in order to get a good night’s sleep – including a comfortable pillow insert. The right pillow insert should support your head and neck and feel soft and comfortable. Pay attention to the feather blend used when shopping for a new pillow insert and make sure the size and shape of the insert match your favourite pillow case.

Choose from various sizes and shapes.

You can shop for different sizes and shapes of pillow inserts. Why not use more than one pillow? Choose a large and comfortable insert to use as your main pillow and consider getting a body pillow if you want additional support. Get a lounge pillow if you often sit up in bed to study or to watch TV. Think about adding a few decorative pillows to keep on your bed during the day or for a sofa. If you have a chest or a bench at the foot of your bed, you definitely need some fun and colourful pillows to decorate this piece of furniture.

Coordinate your pillows with matching sheet sets.

Your bed is the central point of your bedroom and probably the first thing that people notice when they walk in. The style and colour of your bedding can really set the whole tone for your bedroom. You can easily change sheets to reflect your current mood or create a different atmosphere. At Pottery Barn Teen Canada, we have a large selection of sheet sets and you should consider getting a few sets in classic white and beige tone as well as more colourful options. Shop for dotted or striped sheets or other original patterns or for customized sheets.

Elevate your bed with a cozy duvet insert.

Are you thinking about upgrading your bedding? A new duvet insert is going to transform your bed into a cozy nest. Look at the materials and thread count to find the right insert. A duvet insert should keep you warm and comfortable without being too heavy. And if you want an additional layer of comfort, get a foam topper or an organic mattress pad. This is a great way to upgrade your mattress without replacing it.

Add additional comfort and style with a cute throw blanket.

Duvets are a comfortable option but are not suited for warmer climates. A blanket is a good alternative if you need an additional layer on top of a sheet or simply want something to cover your bed during the day. Take a look at the different throw blankets. Get a classic solid throw if you want to add some colour to your room and want something comfortable to wrap yourself in when you watch TV. A faux-fur throw is a must-have item to decorate your room and to stay warm during the fall!

Tranform your bedding look with a bed skirt.

Do you want a complete makeover for your room? You can transform your bed with a bed skirt. A bed skirt will cover your box spring and the space under your bed. You can use this space for storage or simply use a bed skirt to cover the legs of the box spring. And if you still want to transform your bed, think about getting a canopy. This addition will really create a magical atmosphere for your room, and you are going to love going to sleep with the canopy closed.
