It goes without saying that our bedrooms ought to be a safe haven. After all, it’s where we retreat to after a hard day’s work and also where we spend a third of our lives snoozing. And if you share this sacred space with a partner, sprucing it up every now and then is definitely a wise idea. The good news is that even the simplest of changes can make a world of difference.
Read on for five easy upgrades that can enhance the comfort or aesthetic appeal of your bedroom and consequently, make co-living more enjoyable!
#1 Illuminate your space with ambient lighting

Transform your bedroom into a tranquil oasis with the help of ambient lighting. Soft, warm light can create a cosy and relaxing atmosphere — perfect for winding down with your partner after a long day. You could install dimmers or wall sconces. Alternatively, get bedside lamps or a lighting system that allows you to adjust the brightness according to your mood.
#2 Luxuriate in luxe linens

Enhance your sleep with high-quality bed linens, from soft and breathable Egyptian cotton to durable organic bamboo. Be sure to pick colours and patterns that reflect your design philosophy too. For easy elegance, go for light neutrals that will easily complement your house plants, wooden furniture, and ceramic accents.
#3 Guarantee your comfort with a dual-firmness mattress

The firmness of your mattress plays a crucial role in shaping your sleep experience. If you and your partner happen to have differing preferences, the solution is surprisingly simple — opt for a dual-firmness mattress! This way, neither of you has to compromise and everyone gets the rest that they deserve.

The standout option on our radar? Definitely the Sloth Mattress by design-led furniture store Grey & Sanders. That’s because all you have to do to customise your shared mattress is to pick a different firmness level for the left and right sides of your bed. The three levels available are firm, medium, and plush.

Since staying cool throughout the night is no easy feat in Singapore’s hot and humid climate (especially if you don’t sleep with air-conditioning), effective heat moderation also stands out as a key feature in the design of the multi-layered Sloth mattress.

With a combination of the Tencel silk topper and a moisture-wicking base, it ensures excellent ventilation, contributing to a cooler and more comfortable night's sleep.

The individually pocketed springs also ensure that your sleep remains undisturbed, even if your partner tends to toss and turn at night. The best part about purchasing the Sloth mattress? It comes with a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty that will guarantee your peace of mind.
#4 Sleep like royalty with a king-sized bed

If there is sufficient space in your bedroom, consider upgrading to a king-sized bed. A larger bed not only provides more room to spread out but also minimises disturbances caused by movement during the night. Psst, the king-sized version of the Sloth Mattress only costs an additional $200!
#5 Boost your mood with aromatherapy

Create a tranquil atmosphere in your bedroom by harnessing the power of scents. You can even explore various options such as essential oil diffusers, scented candles, or linen sprays. From calming lavender to mood-boosting citrus, let these fragrances breathe new life into your shared space.
