Everyone likes a 7 layer cake; imagine a bed that too has 6 layers.

Ever heard of a layered bed? Everyone likes a seven layer cake, imagine a bed that too has six layers and gives you all the comfort, cleanliness and attractiveness you desire. A bed that gives you the luxury and sleep that you crave. Now the question is, “How can you create such kind of beds for your home?” Are these the divan beds? No, Metal beds? No, Any other customized beds? No


Here is the answer….. :)


The first layer is of protection
Always keep your mattresses clean by putting a thin waterproof mattress protector to prevent moisture or dirt staining. It is best to buy a plastic mattress cover to keep your bed in pristine condition. The vinyl envelope type cover would be more convenient. It will keep you away from allergies and virtually block all the dust reaching the mattress.


Second layer is of luxury foam.
It is recommended to add a foam pad on the top of your mattress protector. Memory foam can be a good choice as it gives a cushiony effect and remembers the shape that your body took last time and hugs you in giving an ultimate luxury feeling. Moreover, if the foam gets worn out or is stained, it can be replaced at any time.


Next layer is a mattress cover.

Put a clean thick mattress cover over the foam pad .To keep the foam in place and intact with the mattress you would require a mattress cover because the foam is more comfortable with a mattress cover over it.


The fourth layer is the right fabric bed sheet.

I would prefer 100% cotton bed sheets as cotton fabric is known to be the most comfortable, cool and crisp material for making sheets and covers.


Complete your bed with a luxury pillow.
Nobody can think of a luxury bed without a luxury pillow. Make sure to buy the kind of pillow you like no matter what the cost. Buy a feather one or a foam rubber one according to you comfort. Put pillow covers made of cotton (as I would prefer it to be cotton only) over your pillows.


The last step is the layer of your coverings.
Cleanly place a matelasse coverlet over the sheets and then set your comforters accordingly. It’s better to put a cover on your comforters too so that you keep them clean and fresh changing only the covers when required.


A tip that’s worth any amount of effort is to keep your sheets, covers clean and to make your beds everyday. A bed that’s made every day is always inviting. As far as beds are concerned make sure to buy beds that are big enough to provide you with enough space to roll over. A bed that’s easy to clean and maintain also like divan beds Hope this all helps you to enjoy better rest than you had in years.
