There are many ways you can invest—in stocks, a relationship, fine jewelry, a JURA coffee machine you use daily, and bedding you lay in nightly. Creating a dream bedscape is an investment in yourself ten times over, especially when you consider that the average person spends 26 years of their life sleeping. That's practically 9,500 days. For some, that's one-third of their entire life. With numbers like that, you want to stop wasting time and make the investment now.

While there are some controversial opinions and hot takes out there about bedding, one thing is irrefutable. Your linens should be the highest quality possible. (Also, don't get the Over The Moon team started on the optionality of the top sheet. This is non-negotiable!)

That's why we feel like it's a dream come true to partner with Boll & Branch. The luxury linen brand crafts their products from 100 percent GOTS-certified organic cotton and uses 90 percent less water than traditional cotton does. This is also all ethically sourced from farmers in India who are fairly paid. So, naturally, we asked Boll & Branch to share their simple 5-step guide to making your perfect bed.

1. The Sheets

Set the scene for a good night's sleep with a sheet set designed with your bedtime preferences in mind. "We always recommend our uniquely soft Signature Sheets or naturally cooling Percale Sheets for your very first bedding upgrade," the Boll & Branch team shares.

2. The Duvet Insert

Do you like to be warm and toasty or cool and comfortable at night? Boll & Branch's temperature regulating duvet inserts are available in three different weights for your ideal sleep temperature. "Always cold? We recommend our Ultraweight option: it has the most fill and near-weightless warmth," the Boll & Branch team advises. "Run hot? Our Lightweight option is the perfect choice for you. Somewhere in the middle? Our Midweight option is a great all-season alternative." Equipped with a unique baffle box construction, the Down and Down Alternative fills stay in place year after year.

3. The Duvet Cover

Generally speaking, it's what's on the inside that counts. But with a bed, duvet inserts should be paired with an optimal cover that not only looks soft to the touch and breathable but also is. "Choose a duvet cover in the same fabric as your bed sheets, but consider a darker shade or a bold pattern for interest. This will keep your bed looking (and feeling!) cohesive," the Boll & Branch team suggests.

Pro tip: While anyone can lay a duvet cover evenly across the surface of the bed, the Boll & Branch team always proposes you try folding the duvet cover at the foot of your bed every morning. It adds instant loft and fluff to your bedscape you couldn't otherwise get.

4. The Bed Blanket or Quilt

Not only does a bed blanket bring dimension to your bedscape, this extra layer also serves as an aid for transitioning between seasons. "It’s the answer to unexpectedly warm nights by topping the bed instead of your duvet," the Boll & Branch team notes. "And when the temperature drops, it works with your duvet as an extra layer." Plus, you can swiftly remove it from the bed to get extra cozy when watching the newest season of your favorite show on the couch.

5. The Pillows

Available in three densities (Soft, Medium, or Firm) and two fills (Down Chamber or Down Alternative), Boll & Branch pillows are expertly crafted with you in mind. Boll & Branch explains, "They’re made with a three-chamber construction that keeps its structure over time, giving you lasting, superior support season after season."

For this final bedding layer, first begin by getting textural Euro shams at the head of the bed, then layer in standard sleeping pillows next, and finish with a decorative pillow at the very front. Then, voila! You have successfully inputed every key component of your perfect bedscape formula. Now, find your perfect linens and discover the entire Boll & Branch collection on Over The Moon here.
