Mark your calendars for March 20, when (finally!) spring begins. As the days grow longer and the weather turns warmer, it's a good time to pack away the flannel sheets, dark colors, and heavy blankets for next winter. In their place? Lightweight linens, softer colors, and your most comfortable bed ever — thanks to Bed Bath & Beyond [1].
Obviously, the store has an enormous selection, so everyone can find something to fit their personal decor style and sleeping needs. And right now, there just so happens to be a huge sale on bedding. During the Your Best Sleep Event, you can save up to 30 percent on pillows, sheet sets, quilts, and even mattresses. So if you've been thinking about getting your bed ready for spring and summer, now's the time.
Read on to see some of our favorite winter-to-spring bedding swaps.
Go For Lighter Colors
Rich, moody colors work well for winter, but when the weather turns warmer, light colors feel so right. This Studio 3B Woven Dash 3-Piece Full/Queen Comforter Set [2] ($160) brightens up a room, plus it's the ideal weight for spring sleeping.
Try Out a Reversible Comforter
A reversible comforter can do double duty, offering two distinct looks. This UGG Devon 3-Piece Reversible Full/Queen Comforter Set [3] ($100) is available in more than two dozen colors and patterns, so there's bound to be one that suits your style.
Change to Lightweight Fabrics
Replacing heavy fabrics with lightweight ones is such a refreshing ritual. The linen/cotton blend of the Nestwell Washed Linen Cotton 3-Piece King Comforter Set [4] ($180) instantly makes any bed look ready for warm weather — and it's just the right weight to carry you well into summer.
Add a Pop of Color
Pastels and tropical colors are just the thing to usher in spring. Style your bed with a throw pillow, and it'll immediately look ready for the season, whether the rest of your linens are dark or light. One to try: this Peri Home Chenille Lattice Fringe Oblong Throw Pillow [5] ($30), which looks more expensive than it is.
Pick a New Pillow
Attention, side and back sleepers: if you're in the market for a new pillow, consider the Therapedic TENCEL 500TC Temperature Perfection Queen/Standard Firm Bed Pillow [6] ($40) your year-round best bet. It's firm, with a moisture-wicking fiber fill that helps you sleep cooler at night. Which is exactly what you'll want to be doing very, very soon.
Upgrade Your Mattress Pad
So soft. So smooth. So deeply sink-into-able. This plush Therapedic TENCEL Temperature Perfection King Mattress Pad [7] ($145) makes any mattress feel refreshed — which means you can have the feel of a new bed for the fraction of the cost.
Freshen Your Mattress
Or maybe your mattress is a million years old and it's time for a new one. This Casper Element 10" Queen Mattress [8] ($695) is on sale, has a layer of perforated foam to keep your body cool, and offers firm support for all sleep positions.
Keep Things Cool
What's better than a weighted blanket — a weighted blanket that keeps you from overheating, that is. This Therapedic 16 lb. Medium Weighted Cooling Blanket [9] ($140) does just that, and the taupe color goes with *everything*.
Get in Touch With Your Inner Child
The colorful stripes of this Marmalade Kali 3-Piece Full/Queen Quilt Set [10] ($70) have a tropical vibe — and that color palette makes any room feel fresh. Psst: this stylish set is hiding out in the kids' section, but it's sized for a queen bed.
Try a Sleep Mask
There's about to be a lot more sunshine flowing into your bedroom. During the day, that's reason to celebrate — but when it's time to sleep in, get more shut-eye with a light blocker such as this Kitsch Satin Sleep Eye Mask [11] ($16).
