A bedroom is supposed to be a sanctuary inside the house. It should be a place where you can unwind after a hard day at work (or home). The place should decompress you at the end of the day, and make you feel rejuvenated when you wake up in the morning.
However, you don't need to invest thousands to make your bedroom feel cozy and comfortable. Here are some simple tricks that can make your bedroom a relaxing and comfortable escapade at home.

1. Focus on the Pillows

One of the first things that you should focus to make the bedroom feel more relaxing is the pillow. The type of pillow you use will greatly affect the quality of your sleep. How you sleep will also determine the type of pillow you should buy.
Experts at RD.com suggested the following tips when it comes to choosing a pillow.

• Buy a medium pillow if you tend to sleep on your back
• Select a firm pillow if you sleep on your stomach (although sleeping in this way is not recommended due to health reasons)
• Choose a soft pillow if you sleep on the side

Consider buying a U-shaped pillow such as the Magasin Memory Foam that will mold to the shape of your neck. This type of pillow offers optimum comfort when sleeping. TheU-shaped pillow is especially recommended for pregnant women and individuals who have recovered from surgery.

2. Buy a Cozy Mattress

The type of mattress you buy is just as important as the pillow in determining the comfort level. Consider buying a mattress with memory or latex foams as they offer the best comfort. These foams are more comfortable as compared to the traditional coil based mattresses.

Another great thing about latex and memory foam mattresses such as the iComfort Mattress from Serta that are hypoallergenic. The special construction of the foam prevents dust mites and bacteria to form on the mattress. As a result, you are less likely to find yourself waking up with an irritated sinus in the morning.

3. Select the Right Paint

You should paint your bedroom neutral, or use a light color such as light brown, beige, and white. Blue is also a relaxing color for the bedroom. Light colors make the room look larger and more relaxing.

4. Place Comfy Rugs

Placing rugs next to the bed can also increase the comfort level of the bedroom. Feeling the soft feel of the rug as you go to bed and get up in the forming is relaxing. It also gives you an opportunity to be creative and add more color and life to your bedroom.

5. Go for Dark Lighting

A dark lighting is important in the bedroom to create a relaxing atmosphere. This is especially helpful for light sleepers. If possible, consider hanging curtains on the window to block out light from outside.

The above tips can make the bedroom more relaxing and comfortable. Remember, that it's the small things that matter most. This is true in life as well as in the bedroom.
