I love a lie-in, especially in the depths of winter. There's something so satisfying about getting all snug in bed, safe from the cold, crisp air outside. Like many of us, I switch out my bedding seasonally, and I like to use the opportunity to decorate my bedroom for the holidays.

You might like to decorate in reds and greens to add a bright burst of color for the holidays. I tend to prefer subtle seasonal accents that blend with the rest of my bedroom decor. I turn to Pottery Barn to bring my holiday bedding ideas to life at a price I can actually afford.

As H&G's resident Sleep Editor, I've been lucky enough to snuggle under some of the world's best comforters and dress the bed with the best bed sheets. I like a blanket as a finishing touch and I've been known to decorate with one, two, or five throw pillows. I'd say that Pottery Barn is one of the best places to buy bedding that looks as good as it feels: the colorways are wide and there are always new patterns and prints in the mix.

I can't resist a quick look at the new-ins section, but it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of options. So, to save you time and money, I've spent hours shopping to bring you 12 cozy buys to upgrade your bedroom for the holidays.


If you're keen to upgrade your bed on a budget, I suggest you shop the bedding sales. I spend hours every day monitoring prices across the Internet, from Cozy Earth comforters to Sijo sheet sets, and I've spotted deep discounts in the pre-Christmas sales.
