HIBERNATE IN THE PERFECT BED THIS WINTER

As the days get shorter and the nights grow colder, your bed becomes more than just a place to sleep — it becomes your winter sanctuary. Whether you’re curling up with a book, sipping something warm, or drifting off into a deep, restorative sleep, the right bed makes all the difference. Here are a few tips on what to look for in a new bed this winter:

Pillow-Top Mattresses
When winter rolls in and the nights get colder, a pillow-top bed can feel like the ultimate cosy retreat. With its extra layer of plush padding sewn right on top, it offers that warm, sink-in comfort we all crave during chilly months. Whether it's memory foam or soft fiberfill, this added cushion helps relieve pressure points while wrapping you in softness — like a warm hug at the end of a long day. House & Home has the perfect range for you.

Spring Systems
It’s also a good idea to understand the different types of spring systems. Bonnell springs, for example, provide sturdy, uniform support, making them ideal if you prefer a firmer sleep surface. Pocket springs, on the other hand, move independently for targeted support — perfect if you're sharing the bed. For that extra touch of winter comfort, many people lean toward pocket springs. They contour more closely to your body and work especially well with plush top layers, giving you that wrapped-in-warmth feeling without compromising on support.

Temperature Regulation
A cool mattress in summer is great — but in winter, temperature-balancing beds that retain gentle warmth (without overheating) will help you stay asleep longer and more deeply. Look for mattresses with breathable materials or built-in cooling technologies that balance warmth and airflow. Natural fibres like wool or bamboo in mattress covers can also help regulate body temperature by wicking away moisture while still providing insulation. The goal is to stay cosy without feeling stuffy — so your winter bed keeps you warm, not sweaty.

Layering the bed
Don’t overlook the importance of layering when creating your perfect winter bed. A quality mattress is the foundation, but adding the right layers — like a plush mattress topper, flannel sheets, and a warm duvet — can enhance both comfort and warmth. These layers not only help trap heat more effectively but also give you the flexibility to adjust your bed’s feel as the temperature changes throughout the season. Think of it as building your own sleep sanctuary, one cosy layer at a time.
