Blackout Shades

Breathable Linens
The fabric of your bedding is more important that the color or pattern. find something that's soft and will allow you to sleep comfortably at night. Cotton is the go-to fabric as it's breathable, soft, easy to wash and comes in so many styles and colors.
Research has shown that people sleep better with weighted blankets. If you're looking for something that will look good at the end of your bed, try finding a handmade knitted weighted blanket. They tend to be the most breathable too!
Wall Color
