Country Linens Decor

As winter approaches, we need to check that we have everything we need for a cozy warm bed. This checklist will help make the freezing cold nights comfortable.

Down Or Alternative Comforters

Down comforters are very fluffy and luxurious and comfortable. If you don’t have one consider buying one as it is essential for a good night slept. The good down comforter can be expensive. There are affordable prices out there that are well worth the comfort and warmth.

Down is the coating that protects the birds from the cold outside elements. This is what is used for warm comforters and pillows. The higher the fill, the warmer the comforter. 600 or more is considered warm enough for fall and winter nights.

People with allergies might prefer down alternative comforters made from polyester fibers provides insulation that is good as down.

Flannel and Bamboo Sheets

Flannel sheets in the winter months give people a feeling of snugness and safety during freezing winter nights. Flannel sheets are made from a blend of wool and cotton.

Bamboo sheets are more recent and offer an eco-friendly alternative to flannel and traditional sheets. Bamboo is very smooth with a natural sheen to the surface and feels like silk or cashmere. Bamboo fabric adjusts to the temperature of our bodies and is more absorbent than cotton.

Down or Down Alternative Pillows

 For that cozy, warm winter night sleep our last choice is a comfortable down pillow. Pillows like comforters are also available in alternative down pillows for those with allergies or just looking for less expensive options.  Down filling molds to your head and neck providing support where needed. A down pillow will provide the right support for any body shape. The filling breathes easily and will last for many years with the correct care.

Hope you have  warm cozy winter nights after checking out my  winter bedding checklist.
