I’m often asked how I make my bed look so fluffy and cozy… and to be honest, I have a few tricks that I use to help achieve this comforting look! I’ve gathered my go-to tactics and products to share, so you too can have a fluffy bed to jump into at the end of the day!
Bed Frame | Quilt & Shams | Throw Blanket | Vase | Throw Pillow | Wall Art | Sheets | Mattress Pad
Sheets, sheets, sheets- something I am VERY picky about! It’s taken some time to hunt down my favorite sheets, and I’ve discovered that the Brooklinen Classic Percale Core Sheet Set is the one for me! They are on the pricier side, but I tried them one time and I knew those were the only sheets I would use from now on!
On a side note, never underestimate the importance of a mattress protector. Mattresses are a pricey investment and having the proper protection is essential for them to last longer. Personally, I love the ComfortCloud Mattress Pad and want to put one in every bedroom of the house.

The key components for a fluffy bed are: a duvet, quilt, and throw blanket. This may seem like a lot of layers (especially if you sleep hot like me), but I love the soft coziness of a duvet. The duvet insert I like the most and recommend is the Classic Down Insert from Pottery Barn. It’s lightweight enough to use in the summer, but still keeps you warm and snug in winter. The “cherry on top” of the bed is adding a quilt, although this is more for looks because I can’t sleep with all those layers.

For sleeping pillows, I use two standard pillows for a full or queen bed, and three standard or two king pillows for a king-size bed. After layering your sleeping pillows in the back, I love adding three euro pillows to a king-sized bed and then layering two king-sized pillow shams. To top it all off, I use a lumbar pillow or two 22×22 pillows in front.
Decorative Boxes | Candle | Linen Duvet
Another way you can get that really fluffy bed is to use two duvet inserts instead of only one. To protect your duvet inserts, I recommend using a linen duvet cover. I love linen because it never has to be ironed or steamed. Your duvet cover can be switched throughout the year to match the season or new color palette of your space. I love the comfy casual look that they provide, and (an added plus) linen duvets keep getting softer and softer with age!
For the final fluffy touch, I add a knitted throw or blanket loosely at the foot of the bed. It finishes off the bed and ties everything together for that extra cozy feel. I typically use a full or queen-size blanket for my king-size bed.
Decorative Boxes | Candle | Book | Nightstand | Similar Lamp | Pitcher Vase | Floral Stems
No bedroom is complete without a styled nightstand! The small décor pieces used on your nightstand (florals, greenery, candles, etc.) can easily be switched to coordinate with the current season. The star of the nightstand show is the lamp, it may take some time to find the perfect piece, but when you do it is SO worth it! I also like to use stylish boxes if your nightstand has a bottom shelf because they’re a decorative way to store any small items, like your phone or laptop charger!
