As the new year begins, many of us resolve to embrace healthier habits, improve our well-being, and find more balance in our lives. One of the simplest yet most impactful changes you can make is to improve your sleep quality—and it all starts with how you set up your bed. Your bed is more than just a place to rest; it’s your sanctuary, a cornerstone of rejuvenation and comfort. By creating the perfect sleep environment, you can set the tone for a year of better health, clearer focus, and deeper relaxation. Let’s explore some expert tips to transform your bed into a haven of restful, restorative sleep—because starting the year right begins with waking up refreshed.
INVEST IN TEMPERATURE-REGULATING BEDDINGS
Thermoregulation, i.e., maintaining an ideal temperature during the night, increases the chances of entering into slow-wave sleep, also known as deep sleep. Deep sleep helps improve memory and cognitive functions, regulates hormone production, and supports the immune system. It also boosts mood by reducing stress levels.
Guess what?
You only get 70 to 90 minutes of deep sleep per night. Don’t waste time tossing around endlessly, feeling either too cold or too hot. Use thermoregulating bedding to keep your body at an optimal sleeping temperature.
WOOL BEDDINGS MAKE YOU SLEEP BETTER
Wool does much more than provide you with the warmth you need during winter. Several studies have proven that wool has exceptional temperature-regulating properties. Meaning it can keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. So, yes, wool bedding can be used throughout the year.
Studies have also concluded that wool makes you fall asleep faster and more deeply than cotton and linen.
-
Our all-natural woolen blankets are hypoallergenic and suitable even for sensitive skin.
-
They have moisture-wicking properties. The Merino wool bed blankets are beneficial for those who experience night sweats and hot flashes.
-
Woolen bed blankets quickly absorb the sweat and help create a comfortable ‘microclimate’ within them as you sleep.
-
Unlike synthetic materials, our merino wool blankets are made of 100% virgin wool. They are sourced sustainably, making you feel proud as you wrap them around your body after an exhausting day.

Now that you know why it's essential to buy temperature-regulating bedding, let's understand another important aspect of sleeping peacefully: layering.
LAYER UP TO ENSURE YOUR COMFORT
Layering is not just piling blankets randomly. Strategic layering can help you create a customizable and adaptable sleeping environment for different sleepers. Here are five quick tips for effective layering -
-
Start with our lightweight thermal regulating bed blanket to retain the heat.
-
Top them up with a coverlet for extra warmth & weight.
-
Mix and match blankets and coverlets of various colors and textures to make your bed look inviting enough to promote sleep.
-
When arranging the bed, make sure each layer is visible.
-
While layering is essential, do not overcrowd the bed.
Here are some of our top-selling coverlets you might be interested in.
Once you have layered the bed, it’s time to add some color and depth. The easiest way to do that is using a throw.
USE THROWS TO MAKE THE BED COZY AND ATTRACTIVE
Imagine walking into a room with minimal styling: plain sheet, a drab comforter, and some pillows. The bed is comfortable but lacks personality. Nothing is inviting about it. Now, keep everything the same and just cover them up with our Bellagio - Plush Waffle Wool Throw Blanket. Drape it diagonally across the bed, use it as a bed runner, or try a corner fold. Your bed will now look more comfortable and inviting, and this psychological impact will transform your bedroom into a place of relaxation. You will feel secure and relaxed, the two feelings that promote undisturbed sleep. Throws can also be used for layering during winter.
Here are some of our throws you can use for decorating and layering your bed.
Your bed is ready, but we still need to improve the bedroom environment for a holistic approach that prepares your mind and body for peaceful sleep.
CREATE A SLEEP-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT
Here are the four easiest things you can do to transform your ordinary bedroom into a sleep sanctuary.
Choose bedding colors that promote sleep.
Have you ever wondered why yoga centers and wellness retreats use neutral colors instead of bright and bold ones like red, purple, and orange? That’s because these colors provide calmness and relaxation. Brighter shades like red, yellow, and orange are best suited for high-energy environments like theaters and discos. At Everlayer, we use neutral colors that are gentle on the eyes so you can create a peaceful environment that lets you unwind at the end of the day. Check out our stylish and comfortable neutral-color coverlets, bed blankets, and Christmas throws that can help you drift into a dreamland within no time.
DECLUTTER THE BEDROOM.
Clutter increases stress, which is the last thing you want when going to sleep. Your bedroom promotes calmness, not anxiety. Here’s what you can do to declutter it -
-
Create a minimalist bedroom.
-
Remove everything that reminds you of work or stress.
-
Put away clothes.
-
Use bins, under-bed storage, and baskets to keep things away from your eyesight.
-
Minimize the use of electronic devices in the bedroom. Blue light can significantly affect your ability to sleep.
USE AROMATHERAPY FOR RELAXATION
Use an oil diffuser, pillow sprays, or essential oil rollers to infuse the relaxing scent into your bedroom air. Lavender, chamomile, and vanilla are some of the best options proven to reduce stress and calm down the nervous system, but you can go with any scent you like.
OPTIMIZE ROOM TEMPERATURE
If the temperature is too high or too low, you will spend your night adding or removing layers of bedding, ending up being grumpy in the morning. To get an uninterrupted sleep, you must maintain an optimal bedroom temperature, which is 15°C to 19°C (60-67°F).
WRAP UP
Thermoregulation is the most critical factor for getting a restful night’s sleep. That's why we at Everlayer use sustainably sourced, 100% virgin wool to give you temperature-regulating bedding that you can use throughout the year. It is one of the best investments for your well-being. Order today!
