Lounge to Life: How to Make Bedding Work In Small Spaces

Duo Bedding Set / Pistachio

Your bed is a lot more than a place to sleep, especially if you’re in a small space like a dorm room or studio apartment. Sometimes, your bed is your couch, desk, and maybe even your dining table (don’t worry, we’ve all been there).


When every square foot counts, your bedding is about more than just looks: it needs to be able to switch from being a space where you can cuddle up with a book to a place you can host your weekly movie nights in split seconds. Your bedding should work as hard as you do. This guide will show you some tips and tricks to making your space go from lounge mode to life mode without skipping a beat.

Choose Comfort-First Designs

When your bed is the spot for hanging out, but also the best place to hit the books, comfort is key. Using soft, breathable fabrics is essential. TENCEL™️ bedding is an excellent choice for multiuse spaces, since it’s soft and gentle on the skin, but still designed to keep you cool. It’s also naturally moisture-wicking, meaning it’ll stay fresh for a long time, even with daily use.

Don’t worry, you can stay comfy without sacrificing cuteness. Using a pastel colored TENCEL™️ bedding set, like the Ever Lasting Isabelle Silky Cottage Ruffled Bedding Set,creates a soft and airy look that opens up your space while maintaining that cool, comforting effect

Make Sustainable Choices

When your bed is the focal point of your room, every choice matters. Opting for sustainable bedding is a smart way to make your room cozy and environmentally conscious. Fabrics like extra-long staple cotton, TENCEL™️ and sustainably dyed yarns, are made with eco-friendly processes to reduce water use and limit harmful chemicals. This makes these materials soft, breathable, and naturally durable, so your bedding will last longer while having a lighter impact on the planet.

Build Multifunctional Layers

When building an outfit, we know layers are everything. Think of your bedding as an outfit for your space—you wouldn’t just wear one bulky jacket, so don’t just use one bulky comforter. Layer your bedding so it can transition between activities as quickly as you do. A soft blanket, like the Ever Lasting Fluffy Plush Throw Blanket can serve as a “sofa cover” when friends are over, while a good quality duvet (we recommend the Ever Lasting Plant Based Duvet Insert for the perfect balance of craftsmanship and coziness) will keep you warm at night.


You can’t spell functional without fun, so give your layers some character by using pieces that speak to you. Throw pillows are a great addition to your multiuse bedding, as they can be used as cushions for seating while still adding a pop of personality. Each piece adds to the unique vibe of your space, so don’t be afraid to get creative.

When you’re in a small space and on a tight schedule, taking care of your bedding can feel like a massive chore. But keeping your bed fresh makes your whole room look picture perfect all day. These low effort maintenance tips will make all the difference in making your bedding look new, no matter how much use you get out of it.

  1. Rotate between two sets so you’re never caught without clean bedding. Sometimes you don’t have the time to wash and dry your sheets before karaoke night, but nobody has to know.

  2. Use mattress toppers and pillow protectors to extend your furniture’s lifespan. Preventing wear and tear makes your bed feel like new.

  3. Spot clean spills right away so stains don’t set. Game night gets intense, we get it—save yourself the future trouble.

  4. Fluff pillows and blankets to maintain shape and maximize comfort. It’s the quickest way to keep your bed looking fresh and feeling cozy.
