We're not sad about waving goodbye to summer as it means we get to enjoy lazy autumn weekends, all snuggled up in our wonderful beds. But how can we make them just that bit more cosy? 

Naturally, the summer duvet will be replaced with something more substantial and the electric blanket might even go back on, but there must be lots of other things that we can do to really make our bedroom the cosiest place on earth, right? 

Well, there are! We took a look at what interior designers and home furnishing experts have been doing to make clients' beds that bit more snuggly and comfortable and we've pulled together a lovely list of suggestions for you. 

We're feeling snug as bugs in rugs right now, so why not come and join us?

1. Get in touch with your feminine side and embrace some pastel bedding

2. A mattress topper will make even the comfiest of mattresses feel extra luxurious

3. Flannel sheets are heaven to slip into on a cold day and are so soft on your skin

4. Pick a pillow that's perfect for you and get your partner one especially for them. Really invest as they can last years

5. A fabric headboard will prevent you ever having to be in contact with hard or cold materials

6. Add a valance sheet to your bed for extra gorgeousness

7. A heavy down duvet will cocoon you but, if you're vegetarian or vegan and don't like the idea of down, there are lots of amazing synthetic substitutes

8. Add a soft throw blanket to the bottom of the bed to keep your toes extra toasty

9. Don't be afraid to add a whole host of soft throw pillows. We like faux fur ones for a little extra luxury!

10. Add a rug under your bed so when you do have to get out, you're met with warm softness and not a cold floor!

11. Focused lighting with keep the real world at bay and create a cosy reading vibe

12. Don't make your bed if you don't want to. It's yours, so if you've gotten the sheets just right, leave them that way!

13. Experiment with dark fitted sheets as they naturally seem more cosy

14. A gauze bed canopy is not only romantic, it creates a cosy, contained feeling

15. Natural materials, such as wool and cotton, will always feel more cosy than synthetic ones

16. Play with textures, such as quilted fabrics and bouclé, which feel super snuggly

17. Position your bed so you can see out of the window. By doing this you can feel like you engaged with the outside world while staying wrapped up in bed!
