As the season shifts from winter to spring, we feel inspired to renew our minds and our homes. This year, we have you covered with our favorite tips and tricks to enhance your bedroom.

Deep Clean — Even the Bed

We all have that one chore (or maybe five) that we hesitate to add to our To-Do List. If washing your bedding is your dreaded chore, this spring is the time to break the habit. Throughout the pandemic, we’ve all spent more time at home and discovered the importance of having the comfiest sleep space possible. But what you might not know is the more time you spend in bed, the more opportunity you give bacteria to grow and multiply in the microclimate between your bedding and your mattress. To minimize bacterial growth, wash your sheets, blankets, and pillowcases at least once a week. A weekly wash of your bedding is especially important you’re prone to seasonal allergies, sleep with your four-legged friend, or consider yourself a hot sleeper.

Pro Tip: Add our TEMPUR-Protect Mattress Protector to your bedding to create an extra barrier between you and dust mites, allergens, and bacteria. Our mattress protector is designed specifically to fit Tempur-Pedic® mattresses and is waterproof.

Say Goodbye to Bulky Blankets

Now that winter is over, it’s time to wash, fold, and stash away those heavy blankets and thick sheets. To sleep cooler during warmer months, switch to lighter sheets made of cotton, linen, or rayon from bamboo. Not only will this help keep you cool but will also add a sense of light and freshness to your bedroom space.

If you need new sheets, we recommend our Premium Soft Sheet Set made with 70% rayon from bamboo and a 30% cotton blend — the perfect combination to keep you feeling refreshed throughout the night.

Rearrange & Redecorate

Remember when you were a kid and spent an entire afternoon rearranging the furniture in your bedroom? There was nothing more invigorating than refreshing your bedroom space all on your own. You can still get that same feeling in adulthood by simply changing the direction of your bed to allow the morning light to wake you instead of your alarm. In addition to brightening your mood, studies show waking up to natural light aids our circadian rhythm.* Try moving your bed so that it directly faces a window and will provide the most sunshine when waking up in the morning.

While you’re rearranging your bedroom, consider upgrading your space with fresh designs and décor. From minimalist to maximalist, it’s important to convey your style in your bedroom, so it’s a place of consistent comfort and relaxation. If you are a minimalist, try keeping the colors neutral, purging any unnecessary clutter, and playing up the natural light of your bedroom to really enhance your space and lean into the functionality as much as possible. If you’re a maximalist, you might prefer a bolder flavor when it comes to color and style. In this case, we recommend mixing it up in terms of fabrics and prints. Don’t shy away from using dramatic colors, the brighter the better! We do recommend building your color scheme around one color to create a sense of harmony.

Pillow Talk

This spring, add an extra layer of comfort to your sleep space with curve-cradling pillows. Adding pillows can elevate the look of your bed and make your space more inviting. Treat yourself to cooling comfort so you can feel cooler and stay comfortable with the TEMPUR-Cloud® Breeze Dual Cooling™ Pillow — made with a single piece of medium-feel TEMPUR-Material™. Featuring layers of TEMPUR-Breeze® Gel on both sides of the pillow, it helps you stay cooler and achieve adaptive support all season long. Plus, this pillow is wrapped in a 100% premium cotton knit cover that is removable and machine washable, so it's easy to refresh your pillow as often as you like.

Upgrade to a Cooler Mattress

Did you know 62% of households have at least one person who sleeps hot? Research suggests a cooler sleep environment helps you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer — for more refreshing sleep. Combat the warmer spring nights with TEMPUR-breeze° and wake up refreshed all season long. The first layer features our SmartClimate® Dual Cover System which feels instantly cool and includes a convenient zip-off outer cover that is machine washable. The second layer is PureCool+™ Technology, our innovative Phase-Change Material absorbs excessive heat and enables better airflow. The third layer is TEMPUR-CM+ Material which allows the heat and humidity normally trapped in your covers to be cycled out of the mattress. And, exclusive to the LUXEbreeze°, the fourth layer of ventilated TEMPUR-APR® Material is our most pressure-relieving material ever – enhanced with an ultra-breathable design. Packed with cooling technology and advanced materials, it's no wonder the TEMPUR-LUXEbreeze° is our most-awarded mattress by experts and best-rated by real sleepers — like you.
