Getting Your Bedroom Ready For Summer & 5 Tips To Consider!
Invest In A Down Cooling Comforter & Bedding
The first step is to invest in high-quality sheets, pillow cases, and a down cooling comforter to help keep you cool as you sleep. The comforter I love is the Puredown Ultra Lightweight Cooling Down Comforter.
This Cooling Down Comforter is easily one of the best cooling comforters I have reviewed. I received the gray color, and right away, I loved how soft, airy, and lightweight it felt.
Some cooling comforters can still feel a little too heavy, but this one has that light, airy, feathery feel that is so nice, especially if you are a hot sleeper like me!
The material feels really really cool against my skin, but still cozy enough to make the bed feel comfortable and inviting! It is made with 75% white duck down and 25% white duck feather, with RDS certified down, and the quality is definitely noticeable.
The down cooling comforter has dual mesh panels to help with airflow and moisture-wicking (they are the white lines you see going down the comforter in the picture below), which helps keep me cooler on those warmer nights.
I also like the little details, like the corner tabs for attaching it to a duvet cover and the double-needle stitching that helps keep everything in place. It comes in white, gray, mint, and sky blue, and is available in twin, full/queen, and king sizes!
Overall, this comforter is soft, cooling, lightweight, and beautifully made. It gives you that cozy down comforter feeling without making you feel buried under a heavy blanket.
I mean, your skin will be in contact with your bedding for over 8 hours each night! The right bedding will make you feel cooler, and help you get a more comfortable night’s sleep. This cooling down comforter is a MUST-HAVE for summer (and hot sleepers!).

Swap Those Curtains For These Instead!
Throughout the winter months, there is nothing we want more than longer, warmer days. However, as the hours of sunlight extend in spring, many people struggle to adapt and regain balance. But you can easily avoid sleep deprivation and rebalance your Circadian rhythm with the right blackout curtains and/or shutters.
Consider swapping lighter curtains for black-out models that allow you to sleep in the darkness – even if you love going to bed early. And, don’t forget to add the right lighting fixtures to create an even cozier bedroom!
Upgrade Your Whole Entire Bed!
Swapping your mattress or simply investing in adjustable bed frames are good steps to take when looking to improve your sleep quality during the warm summer months. According to experts, you should upgrade your mattress every six to eight years, and your bed frames every 10 years (heavens, we don’t even have a bed frame, sigh...).
Just do your research on which mattress to buy and make sure it is the right one for you. You should buy a high-quality mattress that is comfortable, and one that will last you for years to come (because, who has the money to upgrade a mattress that often???).
Declutter & Donate!
A cluttered closet and a messy bedroom filled with things you don’t even use anymore, can negatively affect you and in time, will affect your sleep, trust me, I know! Clutter is known to be associated with higher stress and anxiety levels, which can prevent you from relaxing at night.
Now that the days are getting longer, it is the perfect time to declutter your closet, chest of drawers, and that lone chair that sits in your room with at least 456 shirts on it that you ‘might‘ wear…sigh.
If you can reuse last year’s summer outfits, and get rid of what you no longer use or grew out of, that would help take care of a lot of that clutter!
Also, go through your other things just sitting on your wall shelves, that you no longer even look at. Why hold onto it all?? We like donating our old clothes to a local women’s shelter, but you can also donate your clothes and other things, to the local thrift store.
And, if you need new summer clothes, or room decor items, save that money and just shop second-hand! We do it all the time! You’ll be doing something amazing for both your bedroom and others in need 😉
Decorate With Natural Elements
Nothing relaxes our body and mind like nature, right? Even if you live in the city, there are so many ways you can feel closer to nature. For example, consider decorating your bedroom with plants, wooden elements, and beautiful healing stones and crystals!
We love crystals! Plus, crystals and natural things from our earth, are so good for you anyway! Add in a grounding mat, a rife machine, and a few singing bowls, and an essential oil diffuser, and you have a nature retreat in your bedroom! Yay!
Getting your bedroom ready for summer is kinda fun, and doesn’t need to be complicated (or expensive!). A few simple swaps, like a down cooling comforter, blackout curtains, natural earthy decor, and a little decluttering, can make your room feel calmer, cooler, and just all around peaceful.
