If you have been following me for a while you know I am very passionate about good bedding for great sleep. I have changed a few key pieces to make my bed even more comfortable. It is now like a 5 star hotel. The key pieces are bamboo sheets and a new pillow. I did a deep dive into research on natural bedding and clothes and bamboo bedding sold me. I have never tried bamboo sheets before but a few things stood out to me.
Thermoregulating properties
Soft and breathable fabrics
Naturally repels odors and allergens
I went with Cariloha Retreat Bamboo Sheets. Did they live up to their promise and did I love them? YES. At times I get hot or cold when sleeping but I have not woken up hot or cold since switching to bamboo bedding. They also feel incredibly light and smooth against your skin, which makes climbing into bed at the end of the day feel extra relaxing. Lastly, they look so good.

I have been struggling to find a good pillow. I had a favorite for years and they quit being made. For two years I have tried lots of pillows. I have finally found one that isn't too soft or too hard. I came across Mellow Sleep. There CloudAlign Pillow is my dream pillow. A few things that I love about it are:
Stays cool all night
Dual heigh on each end so it works for side sleeping or back sleeping
Hypoallergenic and Antibacterial

The next two layers closest to touching your body is a mattress protector on the bottom side and I use a quilt over top the sheets. This is the bamboo mattress protector I use. It has the same properties as the sheet. I love it for the temperature regulation and antibacterial properties.


The quilt layer I prefer is from Amazon. I do have a Boll&Branch one as well. I like it, but the Amazon one is a little lighter and I have been sleeping better with it. It is also 100% cotton.
The last part of the bed is the extra throw pillows and I always have a duvet and blanket at the end of the bed. I rarely use either but it provides a cozy use if needed and looks good. I rotate the duvet cover to provide more color and change up the look. I have a white Amazon one (for 25!) that is good and affordable. I also. have a bright, beautiful blue one, and a light blue linen one. Lastly, I use two duvet inserts to stuff into the duvet cover so it looks extra fluffy and extra cozy.
