The best bedding spruces up your mattress and gives it new life. Not only that, the right kind of bedding also helps you sleep better, keep you comfy, and make your bedroom look and feel great.

But bedding options are so overwhelming! Contrary to popular belief, bedding isn’t strictly composed of just blankets and sheets. It includes a wide array of options including pillows, pillowcases, coverlets, comforters, duvets, throw blankets, and many more. To add to the dizzying number of bedding choices available, weighted blankets and smart pillows are making huge waves in the bedding industry.

The challenge for you is knowing how to pick and choose the right kind of bedding to fit your needs. You might just need a good bolster pillow because you’re currently co-sleeping with an infant or your mattress may just need a quick makeover and you’re in the market for breathable, cotton sheets and matching pillowcases. Perhaps your physician recommends a good weighted blanket to help overcome anxiety and sleeping problems.
