How about transforming your bed into a 5-star bed?

“Where do I start?” you may ask.

Invest in a Quality Mattress

A good mattress can be the difference between a night of good sleep and a sleepless one.

A good mattress will give you support and comfort. Your body’s comfort assures you that you will wake up with no aches and pains.

But where do you begin?

Here are some factors to consider when looking for a quality mattress for your bedroom:

• Firmness

  A mattress shouldn’t be too soft or too firm. Find a balance to ensure your body gets the right support. This will cushion the body against discomfort.

• Padding

  Padding is often a good indicator of quality.  The use of soft fabric padding means your mattress is of good quality. It also indicates that it’s expensive.

• Temperature Regulation

  A good mattress should have cooling technology. It ensures your mattress is made of breathable materials that help proper airflow. No hot air gets trapped inside. Your budget will determine the mattress you can afford.

• Height of the Bed

  The height of your bed should determine the mattress you buy. Choose a bed profile that complements your bed’s height. For children and the elderly, a lower bed is ideal.

Use Several Pillows

What is your sleep position?

This will help you determine the right pillow. A good pillow is essential for good sleep. Proper head support will need the right pillow.

However, to make your bed look and feel like a 5-star bed, adding a few more pillows will do the trick. Add a few pillows; the more, the merrier the room feels.

Here are factors to consider when looking for pillows for your 5-star bedroom.

• Size

  Different sizes add a different feel to your bedroom. Mix the sizes, both big and small, for decorative purposes.

• Colour

  A good colour choice will make your room more appealing. When you want that 5-star bedroom feel, pick a colour that complements your bedding. If you love colour, pick a bold one.

• Pillow Fill

  There are different pillow fills you can choose from. They range from feathers, synthetics, foams, and latex. Pick based on your taste and preference.

• Allergy

  For someone with an allergy, pillow fill is a big factor when transforming your room into a 5-star bedroom. If you are allergic, then you need special pillows for your condition.

Choose White Linens

You can’t go wrong when you pick white. For a 5-star bedroom, white is the way to go. What comes to mind when you see white?

Here are some reasons why you should pick white for a 5-star bedroom:

• It makes the room look larger.
• It is associated with newness and cleanliness.
• It is an energy colour, offering clarity of mind and inner peace
• It gives you a luxury feel.

Pick the Right Duvet

For a fuller, well-made look, you need to get a bigger sized duvet than your bed.

For your bedroom to look like a 5-star hotel bed, pick a duvet that looks and feels good.

The quality of your duvet determines its longevity. Pick a good quality duvet that allows you warmth and comfort as you sleep.

Here is how you pick the right duvet for your 5-star bedroom.

• Tog Rating

  A duvet tog rating is related to its warmth. The higher the rating, the warmer it is. For summer, a 2.0-7.0 is the preferred rating. While for winter, 10.5-13.5 is the ideal rating.

• Bedding Groups

  Bed groupings include synthetic, natural, and specialised synthetics.

Pick a Good Rug

A fluffy rug will compliment your 5-star bedroom. It gives it that sophisticated finish.

Here are some benefits of a good rug:

• It can buffer noise.
• It hides those annoying stains.
• It protects your floor from scratches from your heavy bed.

Light Up Your Bedroom

For you to make your bedroom a 5-star room, you must have proper lighting. At night, you want to create the right ambiance for sleep and relaxation.

In the morning you want a room that is bright enough as you welcome daybreak.

Here are some tips on how to light up your 5-star bedroom at home:

• Use Natural Light

  You can’t go wrong with natural lighting. Allow the natural light in and open the curtains during the day.

• Use Lamps

  Bedside lamps can bring in good light that will illuminate your bedroom.

  Bedside lamps will not disappoint you. You can easily switch them on and off.

  Get a Bedside Table

  Your room isn’t complete without a bedside table.

  You need one or two bedside tables depending on your needs.

  They come in handy, and in different shapes and sizes. They range from simple tables to small cabinets with drawers.

  Here are some factors to consider when looking for a bedside table:

• What’s Your Need?

  If you need a place for your lampstand and alarm, you don't need a big cabinet or table for that. A simple table will be enough.

  But, if you are looking for space to place books, a laptop or your glass of wine, you might consider a bigger cabinet or table.

• Size of Your Bedroom

  Your table should complement your bedroom size.

  If you have a spacious room, take your time and look for a good table or cabinet. If your bedroom is smaller, consider a smaller table to complement your room.

  Pick an elegant piece that will fit into your bedroom.

• Size of your bed

  What is your bed size? That should inform the size of your lampstand table. The bigger the bed, the bigger your table stand should be and vice versa.

Window Covering

When transforming your bedroom, you need to pick the right curtains.

For a zen-like ambiance of total relaxation, you need heavy, thick curtains with lining to blackout your room when needed.

Sheer curtains will welcome in the light. You can pick floral, stripes or colored sheers to add depth to your bedroom.

Here are some benefits of picking the right window covering for your bedroom.

• It gives your bedroom a different look and feel.
• It controls the temperature in your bedroom.
• It controls light in your bedroom.
• It guarantees the privacy of your room.
• It's durable, depending on the quality.
