The Winter months are a great time to get Cozy. In fact, the best way to stay warm this season is by rethinking you’re bedding and making it more comfortable for yourself. You can do this without spending too much money or making major changes in your home environment. Here are some simple ways to make your bedroom cozy for winter:

Invest in a warm, fluffy comforter

A comforter is the most important factor in keeping warm. Down is the best type of material.  But it’s also expensive and you can find cheaper options if you shop around. It’s worth it to spend a little more for a high-quality down blanket that will last longer than cheaper ones.

Where you can’t add real wood or wallpaper, using wood bedroom furniture or accents can still allow you to create a cozy atmosphere.

A good rule of thumb: If you want your comforter to last as long as possible, go with 100% down or at least 80% goose down (the remaining 20% being synthetic fibers). But don’t worry about spending a lot on this investment, there are plenty of affordable options out there.

Cuddle with some pillows

Pillows are great for snuggling. They’re soft and pliable, which makes them ideal for cuddling up with on the couch or in bed. If you’ve got a pet that’s missing from your life, pillows can also be used as substitutes.

Pillows are also good for reading (if you’re reading this article right now), watching TV shows and movies and sleeping.

Get your sheets and bedding winter-ready

• Wash your sheets and blankets
• Add a dryer sheet to your laundry (or, if you’re feeling fancy, use lavender oil)
• Air out your bedding after washing it, especially if it’s cotton or bamboo fabric
• Use a moisture barrier under the mattress pad if you have one

Keep a hot water bottle ready for chilly toes

If you’re like me, your toes might be chilly. Hot water bottles make a great way to warm up cold feet, hands and stomachs.

• Fill the hot water bottle with hot water the hotter it is, the better. The heat will help keep you warm while also providing comfort on those nights when you just can’t get comfortable.
• Wrap your hot water bottle in a towel or blanket before placing it under your covers. So that it doesn’t crack as soon as you turn off the lights after putting them away for the night (or morning). If there are no towels available at home, use socks instead. They’ll work just as well if not better because they don’t need any special treatment whatsoever.

Put on some slippers

When you’re feeling cold, it’s easy to forget about your feet. But slippers are an important part of staying cozy in the winter months. Slippers can be made from fur or fleece, and they will keep your feet warm without being too heavy. You can buy them at any store that sells clothing. But if you want something more personal and handmade. Try felting wool into slippers.

Keep a throw blanket handy

A throw blanket can be used in so many ways, it’s hard to imagine how you’ll ever use all of them. If you have one, keep it by your bed and use it as a pillow when you’re tired of your comforter. You can also wrap up in one when the temperature drops or even use it as an extra blanket during the winter months. Just make sure not to let anyone sit on top of your back. While they chat with friends over coffee (the last thing anyone needs is another person breathing down on them).

Swap out your candles.

Candles are great for lighting up your bedroom in the winter. But they can be expensive and not all that environmentally friendly. Plus, candles tend to burn down faster than other types of lighting options. If you’re going to spend money on something anyway. Why not get something that will last longer?

If you want your room to feel cozy without spending too much money or worrying about safety issues. Consider swapping out those flickering flames for something more sustainable like LED Light. These bulbs have no flame and use significantly less energy than traditional lights (plus they don’t light up everything else in your home). They also look stylish on their own as well as paired with other decorations like vases filled with fresh flowers or decorative pillows in soft colors like blue or purple tones.

Brush up on your breathing techniques

You can use breathing exercises to relax, fall asleep and stay asleep. Breathing exercises can also help you wake up feeling refreshed, deal with stress and stay positive during the day.

Add some green to your environment

Adding plants to your bedroom can help you sleep better, as well as purify the air. If you don’t have a green thumb, consider adding a succulent or cactus. Or try a few houseplants!

Warm up with a mug of tea or hot chocolate

If you’re looking to warm up in your bedroom, a hot beverage is the way to go. Whether its tea or cocoa for breakfast, or hot chocolate at night, this can be a great way to get cozy and cozy fast. Just remember that if you have caffeine-sensitive children (or even just yourself). It’s important not to overdo the caffeine and don’t leave your drink unattended.

Put on some comfortable clothes

• Put on some comfortable clothes.
• Wear loose-fitting clothes that are warm and cozy, like sweatpants or sweatshirts. You can also wear socks with your pajamas if you’d like to feel extra snug and warm during the night.
• If it’s too cold outside (or if you’re just feeling lazy), have a robe ready at hand in case of an unexpected chill drop.
• Have a blanket handy if needed. You never know when a nap might be called for after getting home from work.

Conclusion
