What’s The Best Way to Refresh My Bedding for a New Season?

As the seasons change and the year goes on, the decor in some areas of your home may change.

Florals and pastels in the spring. Plaids and warm tones in the fall. You know what I’m talking about.

But when it comes to bedroom seasonal shifts, things can often be overlooked. Maybe you add a duvet for colder nights, but not much more beyond that.

When you think about it, bedding can be the easiest – and most impactful – seasonal refresh in your home! From comfort to cleanliness to a simple visual change, a bedding refresh can be an easy box to check off when it comes to seasonal changes in your home.

In this blog, we’ll talk all about the best ways to refresh your bedding for the new season and why a seasonal bedding refresh matters!

Why Seasonal Bedding Refreshes Matter

As the seasons change, so do your sleep needs. It’s not just about updating the look of your bed. (although that is part of it, and it’s super fun!) It's about creating a space that supports better sleep.

Here are some things that are impacted by changes in the season:

Sleep temperature: It’s hard to have a good night’s sleep if you’re sweating under flannel sheets or shivering in cool cotton. While everyone has a different temperature that they prefer to sleep in, there is always such a thing as too hot and too cold!
Allergens and dust: each season brings its own set of allergens, and bedding can be impacted by that. Whether it’s giving your bedding a good deep clean or pulling out a fresh set of bedding, this is something you’ll want to keep in mind when looking at the seasonality of your bedding.
Daily routines: For some, a change in the season means a change in routine. Maybe your schedule gets busier, maybe you’re getting to bed earlier. Whatever the change may be, updating your bedding can help the space feel more in sync with the pace of your lifestyle.
An emotional reset: When the seasons change, we often find ourselves looking forward to the newness of it all. This is true for bedding refreshes as well! They can serve as an emotional reset as you enter a new season.

Start with a Deep Clean

When a new season arrives and you find it’s time for your bedding upgrade, there are a few housekeeping items you’ll want to start with, the first being a good bedding deep clean!

A regular wash will keep things fresh, but a deep clean is what helps to take care of built-up sweat, allergens, and dust that may have accumulated. These are things that can have a negative impact on your sleep quality, so the beginning of a new season is a great time to get them taken care of!

When you’re deep cleaning your bedding, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind:

When it’s safe for the fabric, wash your bedding with warm or hot water to kill the bacteria
Dry your bedding on low to medium heat to prevent shrinkage
Make sure everything is completely dry before it goes back on the bed

This is also a good time to clean elements of your bedding that aren’t regularly maintained. This includes:

Washing your pillows: check the tag on your pillow, most can be washed in the washing machine
Washing your mattress protector: whether it’s wiped clean or put in the wash, now’s a good time for it
Washing your mattress: vacuum the surface, sprinkle baking soda and let it sit for 15-30 minutes, then sprinkle again. Rotate or flip your mattress when applicable. Alternatively, you can opt for a Beddy’s ZipClean Mattress for easy machine washable mattress cleaning

While it may not be as exciting as browsing for new bedding or finding the perfect accessories for your bedroom, these are very necessary seasonal to-do’s that are going to make a big difference when it comes to your overall sleep quality!

Swap Out Your Bedding

Now it’s time for the fun part! Time to find the perfect bedding that can be swapped out and styled seasonally and that fits your style.

For the warmer seasons, you want something breathable and lightweight. During the cooler months, you probably want something with cozy layers to keep you warm without overheating.

Lucky for you, Beddy’s has dreamed up the perfect all-weather bedding that can be easily swapped out according to the season!

The Dual Comfort ZipBase Beddy’s set comes with two sheet options to choose from: cotton and minky. This sheet zips directly onto your comforter, so when the warmer months come, all you need to do is zip on the cotton sheet and you’re set! Then when things cool down, swap out the cotton for minky and you’re ready.

This means no more extensive sheet swaps, lifting your mattress to get an entirely new set of bedding on. Your fitted portion stays on, the top comforter stays zipped to it, all you have to do is swap out the lining and viola, your year-round bedding is set.
