The Ultimate Guide to Holiday Bedding: Comfort Meets Celebration
When the holidays roll around, we all expect to decorate our living rooms or dens. But if you're really looking to hone in on the festive feeling, using holiday bedding is a great way to bring in the magic. In this guide, we'll help you balance the comfort with celebration to truly embrace the magic of holiday bedding.
Start with a Cozy Foundation:
Before you layer the festive touches onto your holiday bedding, make sure your base layers are soft and comfortable. Here are some materials we love:
- The Ever Lasting Plant Based Duvet insert is warm, but still lightweight and breathable, making a perfect choice for restful sleep in winter. Plus, it comes in 3 different sizes to fit any bed, and 3 different levels of thickness to fit your family's specific needs.
- Cotton bedsheets are breathable, allowing you to layer other materials on top with over heating. Plus, they're hypoallergenic, so they're gentle on your skin.
-
Tencel sheets feel incredibly smooth, creating a good base for winter. They also regulate temperature well, ensuring you won't overheat with all the other layers.

Layer on Festive Textures and Colors
With our sweaters, decorations, and even your holiday bedding, the season is all about layering. Adding in seasonal color palletes and mixing and matching textures is a great way to creat a luxurious yet festive and inviting feeling. Some of our favorite holiday bedding textures include silk, fluffy fur, and ruffles, but you can play around with any fabrics that speak to you.
To stick with a more traditional color scheme, tie in red, green, and gold for the classic holiday bedding palette that evokes the timeless charm of the season.
If you're into more modern holiday bedding, silver, white and blue tie in the more sleek, winter wonderland inspired look that blends beautifully with more contemporary furnture pieces.
Prefer a rustic look? Use a base of tan and brown and tie in earthy toned reds and green to create a cozy cabin holiday bedding aesthetic.

Play with Patterns and Prints:
When it comes to holiday bedding patterns, everyone has different tastes. Some of us love the over the top, on the nose festive prints, like gift boxes and ornaments. Other may prefer more subtle patterns and simple motifs, like plaid and snowflakes. No matter where you land on the spectrum, patterns are a great way to add a bit of seasonal personality into your holiday bedding.
Here are some of our favorite holiday bedding with patterns and prints, from subtly seasonal to flamboyantly festive.

Finishing Touches That Spark Joy — Beyond Holiday Bedding
Keep things Festive and Functional
No one wants to purchase new holiday bedding every year. Choose high quality and sustainable fabrics that will last you for many years, ensuring you have one less thing to cross off your shopping list. Once the snow melts, clean your holiday bedding properly and store in breathable bags to keep it fresh for the next year.
