Tips for Creating a Cozy Bedroom this Fall
Fall is the season of comfort. That means it’s time to indulge in everything from hot drinks to soft blankets, and most importantly, restful sleep in a cozy bedroom! As temperatures drop, there’s nothing better than coming home to a warm, inviting space.
Are you thinking of trading in summer sheets for fuzzy flannels or even giving your whole bedroom a refresh? Our tips for creating a cozy bedroom this fall will help you build a sleeping environment that promotes better rest all season long!
1. Start with the Right Mattress
Your bed is the centerpiece of your bedroom, and your mattress is the foundation. If your current mattress is sagging, lumpy, or more than 8–10 years old, it may be time to upgrade. At The Mattress Hub, we have a vast selection of mattresses in which you can find your perfect fit.
With a great mattress, you’re well on your way to a comfy bedroom where you can relax, drink hot cocoa, and watch a spooky movie this fall!
2. Layer Up with Seasonal Bedding
One of the simplest swaps you can make each season is your bedding. We recommend adding layers and switching out lightweight summer sheets and blankets with warm (but still breathable) options such as:
- Flannel sheets
- Quilted duvets
- Weighted blankets
- Chunky knit throws
In addition to adding visual texture, layering allows you to adjust your warmth level as temperatures fluctuate throughout the night.
3. Add Warm Lighting & Autumn Scents
When it comes to making a cozy space, lighting and scents change everything. Create a calming ambiance with:
- Soft bedside lamps or string lights
- Warm-toned LED bulbs
- Fall-scented candles or essential oils (think cinnamon, vanilla, and cedarwood)
This is a subtle yet powerful way to make your bedroom feel like a fall retreat.
4. Embrace Cozy Colors & Textures
Autumn is the time to incorporate warm, rich colors into your decor, such as:
- Rust orange
- Deep burgundy
- True red
- Mustard yellow
- Forest green
You can add texture with:
- Velvet throw pillows
- Woven rugs
- Faux fur accents
These elements make your space feel layered, lived-in, and fall-inspired because they perfectly mirror nature’s autumnal tones and textures.
5. Prepare for Colder Nights
Temperatures are starting to fall (pun intended), especially at night. When it gets chilly in your area, you can try the following:
- Reverse your ceiling fan direction to clockwise (this helps push warm air down)
- Seal drafty windows
- Consider a heated blanket or an extra comforter for cold nights
Temperature plays a big role in sleep quality, and these small tweaks can help you stay comfortable all season long.
6. Create a Sleep-Friendly Environment
The cozier your room, the better your sleep. Fall is a great time to tidy up and reset your bedroom for optimal rest. Here are a few things you can do:
- Declutter your nightstand(s)
- Invest in blackout curtains
- Add a white noise machine or play soft, calming music
