One of the biggest home projects we did this year was re-doing our room. From painting to new furniture, we were ready for a fresh look. We were in the market for a new mattress as ours ancient, so it felt like a good quarantine project. We replaced our bed frame with a beautiful frame from Wayfair. It was odd purchasing such a large piece of furniture online without seeing in the store, but we ended up loving it. Buying a mattress without laying on it? Well, that was the way of 2020. We did not want to go furniture shopping during covid.
Mattress Update
I researched high and low various mattress in a box options. I came across one on Amazon that was the Ashley Furniture brand. The reviews were great. The product had 4.5 stars at nearly 21,000 reviews. We have had it for about 6 months now and it has been extremely comfortable.
Clean and Crisp
While we we were at it we replaced I was really on an “all white” kick when i put together this new bed. We found a really nice bed set from Walmart. It looks high end, but literally a fraction of the cost. The sheets and pillows were great Amazon finds, again with remarkable reviews. These sheets have over 155,000 reviews!! They are a bang for your buck. Price wise, they are not much more than something you would get at Walmart or Target, yet feel high end. They are soft and have deep pockets for a 12 inch+ mattress. I have since bought a second set for when mine are in the wash I can rotate them.
Cozy and Comfy
When searching for pillows, I wanted the kind you could just sink right into. I love a big plush pillow. If you are looking for a firm pillow, these are not for you. These pillows have been so comfortable to just sink into. My finishing touch was a cozy blanket, of course! I wanted something i could just snuggle up into, a big Sherpa blanket. This blanket is so cozy, I am tempted to buy one for every room in the house.
I’m so happy with how our bedroom turned out. Its amazing what a fresh coat of pain and a new bed did for our room. I’m so happy I was able to find these items, at a budget friendly price without breaking the bank to re-do a room.

We need a mattress upgrade! What did you do with the mattress you got rid of?
We are able to put our mattress to the curb for large garbage day!
I love that blanket! It looks amazingly comfortable. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Love a great makeover. We are currently in the process of renovating our master room then I would like to give the bedding a new facelift. I have been considering a bed in a box for king size mattress. I love the idea and they look so light to carry too lol. I of course need that sherpa blanket, I’m a sucker for comfy cuddle blankets.
Yes! We upgraded to a king and it was much easier to get into our space with being the bed in a box, rather than trying to maneuver a king on our staircase. And yes, I’m a sucker for a good blanket as well! This one is so cozy!
