Sherpa Body Pillow

I’d be lost without my body pillow. Whether or not you have this product can make or break your bed. Body pillows are super long and super comfy. There are many different ways to sleep with this extra-large pillow. If your bed is along a wall, you can line the pillow up against the wall. For extra support when you sleep, keep your body pillow propped up behind your normal pillows, or if you like to cuddle, lay the body pillow vertically down next to you and snuggle it! Everybody pillow needs a case, which is sold separately from the pillow itself. I recommend this sherpa pillowcase which can be bought from Wayfair for $25.

Quilt

I love having multiple blankets on my bed. Comforters, throw blankets, sheets and of course, a quilt. Quilts aren’t that common anymore, but they’re one of the best parts of a comfy bed. I like to keep a big, heavy quilt folded at the end of my bed. They look great for decoration and give your bed a finished look when it’s made. Pulling a quilt on top of your comforter and sheets at night keeps you warm and toasty all night long.
