The bedroom is (supposed to be) the dreamiest spot in your home. But when you lay your weary head to rest, only to toss and turn the night away, it can feel like a bad dream. If this nightly scenario plays on repeat in your space, it might be time to re-evaluate your sleep-scape.

Because without a snooze-inducing setup, you’ll need more than counting sheep to encourage a blissful drift. Sure, you can stream the dulcet sounds of the rolling tide or raindrops to help you unwind, but to really make your experience more soothing, you need to think about the whole scene. In addition to a quality mattress, accoutrements like a featherbed topper, a weighted blanket and soft flannel sheets can set the right tone. Here, we’ve rounded up the coziest essentials from Saatva to ensure your sanctuary becomes a true comfort zone.

Crown your mattress in a glorious puff of comfort that all but guarantees sleeping like a queen. The beauty of this rest accessory is that it’s filled with a hypoallergenic down alternative that feels heavenly, yet stays grounded to give your body support.

Saatva Weighted Blanket

Crafted from velvety cotton and filled with glass beads, this is the next best thing to a giant hug. In fact, this kind of heft is a science-backed phenomenon known as “deep pressure stimulation,” which keeps you super snug. So tuck in and let the weight of the world lift as you stay put — just know that now, you may never want to get out of bed.

Saatva Waffle Knit Duvet Cover Set

Duvets and shams can sometimes seem standoffish — anything but a warm welcome to bed, especially if their fabric is precious. But not this set. The plush yet lightweight waffle weave is super-soft to the touch, so you can literally cozy up in it (and probably fall asleep) without even getting underneath the sheets. It retains heat for extra coziness, but still circulates air for easy breathability in every season.

If you ever dreamed of sleeping on a cloud, now is your chance IRL. Piles of quilted poufs beckon you to bed and keep you snug as a bug thanks to a faux-down fill. While the plushness is winter-approved, naturally moisture-wicking lyocell fill stays breathable in warmer months, so you won’t have to swap out your bedding for something more lightweight.

Saatva Luxury Flannel Sheet Set

Go ahead and get close for comfort in the bed-size version of your favorite flannel pj’s. Crafted with a brushed finish, flannel is designed to be toastier than high-thread-count sheets — but it’s anything but scratchy to the skin. The long-staple cotton fibers feel velvety-soft and have even been known to induce cuddling on contact.
