With the crisp autumn air reminding us that winter is on the way, now is the perfect time to prep for this chilly season. Using one of nature’s best insulators, down comforters and pillows are some of the warmest and most luxurious ways to snuggle up and stay warm all winter long. Here are the essentials every bed should have:

– Start with a mattress pad or featherbed; this will help keep you both warm and comfortable.

– Every bed should have a down comforter. Whether you live in the brisk northeast, or the sunny California shores, there are different weights for down comforters, so you’ll be sure to find a perfect one.

– Down blankets are the perfect way to keep cozy, and have a lighter weight than comforters. Fold one at the foot of your guest bed for extra warmth, or keep one in the living room for late nights by the fireplace.

– No bed would be complete without the perfect pillows. In a variety of sizes, and three levels of firmness, the right pillow will feel like a custom purchase, and will last you for years to come.
