If you’ve spent any time on Instagram lately, there’s a good chance you came across a reel for the popular Cloud Bed Recipe. Created by lifestyle blogger and professional shopper, Anni Vanderbeek, the recipe purports to offer tips for crafting a bed guaranteed to support good sleep. Best of all, the recipe includes just six components, so it’s easy for individuals to replicate it in their own homes. At Latest Bedding, we’re passionate about helping shoppers get the rest they need to boost productivity and performance throughout the day. After all, you spend approximately a third of your life asleep – you might as well enjoy the process. Here are some tips for creating LB’s own version of the viral Cloud Bed.
Mattress Topper
It’s no secret that a mattress is crucial to back and neck support. However, shelling out for a new bed may not be in the budget this year. If you want comfort for a price, consider investing in a mattress topper. The Cloud Bed Recipe calls for a plush pillow-top mattress topper. We’re big fans of the 3” Gel Memory Foam with 3M Cover White Mattress Topper. Created by Sleep Philosophy, this bedding product is crafted from 2.5-pound density temperature control memory foam. Along with adapting to a sleeper’s body temperature, the topper helps alleviate pressure points and ease sore muscles. Choose from sizes full, queen, and king.
Luxury Sheets
Sheets might not get as much attention as mattresses. However, as the bedding item that comes into the most prolonged contact with skin, good sheets are essential to both sleep and wellness. Recognizing that 100 percent Egyptian cotton can’t be beat, Latest Bedding suggests checking out the Ultra Percale Sheet Set from Pure Parima by clicking it here. Part of the brand’s prestigious Hotel Collection, the sheets feature a cooling matte percale weave that’s reminiscent of the bedding found in five-star hotels. If you love the feel of fresh, crisp sheets against your body, Egyptian cotton percale is an unbeatable option. The Ultra Percale Set is available in trending neutrals such as Bone and Carbon and includes a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, and two matching pillowcases. And because it’s machine washable, customers don’t have to worry about trips to the dry cleaner. The creator of the Cloud Bed Recipe recommends tucking the top sheet into the mattress for the coziest night’s rest.
Extra Blanket
With temperatures getting cooler of late, many of us find ourselves reaching for an extra blanket at night. The Cloud Bed Recipe anticipates this issue by recommending that shoppers pick up an extra blanket to layer over their top sheet. There’s no one right choice when it comes to this component, with some buyers preferring a quilt and others opting for a fleecy throw or coverlet. We’re big fans of the Townsend Quilt Set from J Queen New York. Warm and elegant, this piece is crafted from plush velvet and boasts a modern channel pattern. Shoppers can select from a range of hues, including Ivory, Gold, Terracotta, and Indigo. The set comes complete with matching pillow shams featuring hidden zippers. However, additional items including accent pillows, Euro shams, and even dog beds are available from the brand for an extra cost. We also recommend picking up a spare blanket for your guest room, so visitors won’t have to hunt around for bedding on cold nights.
Duvet Insert… and Cover
Vanderbeek offers a key piece of advice when it comes to choosing a duvet insert for the Cloud Bed – size up. Doing this ensures that the duvet will drape beautifully over the sides of the bed rather than exposing the mattress or underside. While duvet options are varied and extensive, the creator of the Cloud Bed Recipe suggests shoppers can’t do better than down. For an ultra-luxurious night’s rest, consider the Royalty 233 White Down Medium Weight Comforter by J Queen. Featuring responsibly sourced RDS down that’s both clean and allergy-free, the product boasts a 100 percent cotton fabric construction. With a fill power of 550, it’s a great option for chilly winter months.
Of course, no down insert is complete without a duvet cover to go over it. Those who appreciate the feel of silk but long for the benefits of cotton will likely be satisfied by our Triple Luxe Sateen Duvet Cover Set. Another Pure Parima offering, the duvet cover is made from extra-long staple, hand-harvested Egyptian cotton and is both environmentally sustainable and renewable. The cover is white, but customers can choose from an array of accent stripe shades, such as Teal, Arctic, and Gold.
Fluffy Pillows
No Cloud-like bed is complete without a cozy place to lay your head at night. Vanderbeek recommends topping off your luxurious creation with two fluffy pillows. If you’re looking for comfort and neck support in one, it’s hard to beat the Mantra Down Alternative Pillow Insert. Designed by Pine Cone Hill, these pillows are ideal for allergy sufferers and animal lovers alike. And with a silky soft cotton shell, they’re sure to keep your head cool all night long. Choose from sizes standard, queen, king, and Euro.
Sleep Easy on a Bed of Clouds
Searching for a more comfortable bed? If so, you’re not alone. According to a Slumber Cloud Study, a majority of people don’t like their own beds. The good news is you don’t have to suffer bad sleep or back pain any longer. Designed to offer affordable designer bedding for all, Latest Bedding offers a wide selection of luxury comforter sets, sheets, and accessories like throw pillows, bedskirts, and window valances. Shop an array of products from Bebejan, J Queen New York, Pom Pom at Home, Rose Tree, and more. We look forward to helping you build your dream bed on a budget.
