What’s your definition of cozy? Snuggly blankets and a roaring fire? Wrapped up in an oversized towel on the beach? My idea of cozy is anything that makes you — or your space — feel better … to you. What that means is, no definition of “cozy” is wrong if it’s something that you love. More blankets, fewer blankets, no blankets, the choice is entirely yours. Multiply that by rugs, lights … you get the idea.
For me, “cozy” means a comfortable bed (maybe a mattress topper or silky-smooth sheets), an organized space (storage cubes), or a luxurious bath (cue the bath pillow!). I also like small touches like candles, greenery, or flowers, all of which add warmth to a space that nothing else can achieve. This list is all about cozy comfort, from the bedroom to the bath to the kitchen. (Yes, even the kitchen can be cozy!) Which one (or three) of these would cozy-fy your space? (I trademarked “cozy-fy” so don’t steal it.)
You Top And You Don’t Stop
You know what? You don’t need a new mattress; you just need a new mattress topper. This one offers two different firmness levels and two extra support levels infused with bamboo, charcoal, and green tea. (Yes, you read that right — infused.) An elastic band around the mattress helps ensure a snug fit and keeps the topper securely in place.
A Total Du-Vet
If you’re looking for a real home “do,” look no further than this duvet cover set. Featuring a 100 percent cotton woven design on the surface and 100 percent cotton percale on its reverse, this cover is equal parts soft and snuggly. It has eight ties plus hidden-button closures to keep the duvet in the right place at all times.
Cut A Rug
Nothing makes a room cozier faster than adding an area rug. This one features faux fur, a great vegan option if you’re after the luxury of fuzzy rugs without worrying about their origin. Thoughtfully designed with non-slip points, this rug comes in three sizes and the same number of color options: cream, gray, and pink. The manufacturer recommends spot cleaning as necessary.
Deep And Wide Twin Sheets
It can be tricky to find luxury-level sheet sets meant for twin mattresses. Do they think people who sleep on a twin mattress don’t like nice sheets? Sigh. Anyway, these extra-deep-pocket sheet sets have a brushed fabric for extra softness and deep pockets so they don’t slide off on you in the middle of the night. These sets are available in eight colors and, of course, have options for full, queen, and king beds.
Take A Back Sheet
While we’re on a roll with sheets, let’s keep it going with this 1800-thread count microfiber bed set. Built for year-round relaxation, these sheets are moisture-resistant and designed to keep you warm in the winter and act as cooling sheets in the warmer months. This set comes complete with both flat and fitted sheets and four, count ’em, four, pillowcases.
On A Roll
When you see a roll pillow, you probably don’t see a lot of comfort or versatility but you couldn’t be more wrong. This pillow is not too firm but not too soft and provides support that can help ease neck, spine, knee, or back discomfort. This bolster pillow is also perfect for travel since it’ll fit neatly into a suitcase.
Lay Your Head On These Pillows
I’m a total pillow snob. I’ve tried a lot and I’ve liked very few. These luxury gel pillows are appealing, though, thanks to the breathability of the silky cover and the down-like fill inside. These are great for back, side, and stomach sleepers, which is especially cool because it can be hard to find one pillow to fit all these preferences. I mean, who stays in one position all night long anyway?
Skirt The Question
You’re upgrading your bedding so why not add a tailored bed skirt? A bed skirt really can make all the difference in how your room looks, giving it a polished and finished presentation that adds to its coziness overall. This one features a fitted look that’s both wrinkle and fade-resistant. With a 14-inch drop, it will cover even the thickest mattresses and box springs.
A Bath Upgrade
I’m for anything that makes my bath feel more luxurious and yes, I said bath. I’ll take a shower if I’m in a hurry, but if I’m treating myself, it’s a hot bath every time. This bath pillow is so much more than its competitors because it’s a full-body mat with a cushioned headrest and the whole thing is like lying on a cloud.
We’ve All Bean There
I like products that look like one thing but do multiple things. This bean bag chair is not only a comfy place to sit, but it also doubles as storage for pillows, plushies, or blankets. When full, the extra-large Stuff ‘n Sit measures 38 inches in diameter and holds about 90 plush toys, so your children never have to say goodbye to their stuffed animal friends (but you don’t have to look at them all the time).
That’s The Case
Your pillows are only as good as the pillowcases you put on them. These silky soft, 1800-thread count pillowcases are wrinkle-, fade- and stain-resistant and are cooling for all of you hot heads. You can buy these in a set of two or four to match your bedding needs. They come with a lifetime promise so if you’re not happy with them, you can return them — no questions asked.
Let’s Shelve That Talk
There’s always room for another shelf. This five-tier corner shelf can go anywhere (kitchen, bath, bedroom, office) to display photos or knickknacks. A shelf like this is especially useful when your space is limited — maybe in a small studio apartment or dorm room. This shelf comes in eight different colors and finishes so there are no worries about it not matching your decor.
This Decor Does Not Succ
I always think a place looks cozier with a bit of greenery around. These artificial succulents add some warmth to your space without becoming a burden that you have to tend to. (Believe me, you can kill succulents because I’ve done it — more than once.) These come in rose gold tin pots and include 20 reusable stickers so you can serve yourself a little motivation along the way.
Mat’s All, Folks
If I have one pet peeve at home, it’s wet bathroom floors. (You should see the grimace on my face right now.) This memory foam bath mat solves the wet floor problem in a cozy, absorbent package. Made of velvet-feel microfiber, these bath mats earn high praise from reviewers for keeping feet warm and cozy and their elegant appearance.
All Wrapped Up
Weighted blankets are one of my favorite inventions of the past few years. I’ve purchased one for myself and I’ve gifted a few. This one comes in weights from five to 15 pounds, has a removable cover, and offers various colors and patterns. Weighted blankets have been known to help many fall asleep, stay asleep or even just relax and wind down.
Nothing But Net
O.K., nothing — and I mean, nothing — makes a bedroom as dreamy as a mosquito net bed canopy. I mean, would you look at that photo? Honestly, I’m not even sure why they call it a mosquito net because there better not be any mosquitoes in my bedroom — ever. This size fits up to a queen-sized bed and is super simple to install.
Set It Up
Sometimes I like sheets with a little bit of a pattern, but nothing too crazy. This sweet sheet set is appropriately called “Make A Wish” and is embellished with fuzzy dandelions. Made from ultra-soft microfiber, this set includes flat and fitted sheets and two pillowcases for beds from twin to king. These sheets also come in other darling patterns like blossoms, vines, and paisley.
Taper Off
Candles add ambiance unlike anything else. These taper candles are perfect for any place from your dining room table to a luxurious bubble bath in your bathroom. These tall, 10-in. candles are hand-poured, dripless, and unscented so they won’t bother people who are sensitive to smells. Cotton core wicks keep the candles burning clean and smoke-free. Grab them in gray, white, pink, or yellow.
Come Out On Top
You can change the entire complexity of your night of sleep with the right mattress topper. This one is stitched with a double-needle baffle box to keep fill balanced and in place, with a special blend of soft microfiber and natural rayon derived from bamboo that helps regulate body temperature. The best news is that it’s completely machine washable and, at $74-84 is a lot cheaper than buying a new mattress.
Storage Wars
“Cozy” to me means “a place for everything and everything in its place.” Seriously, I can’t get completely comfortable unless everything is tidy. These woven storage cubes are great for organizing everything from spirits to toiletries to baby gear in a chic and clean way. This set is designed to nest together when not in use or spread out for various sized storage solutions.
Uh-Oh, Shaggy
If the picture of this bed doesn’t make you want to crawl in it for the most snuggly nap ever, we can’t be friends. This shaggy duvet cover set includes a faux fur duvet cover and two matching pillow shams. I would pop this out for the fall and winter months and then pack it away and dream about it for the next six months.
Field Some Lavender
Lavender has long been used for treating anxiety, insomnia, depression, and restlessness and, besides that, it’s just pretty to look at. This artificial lavender plant doesn’t emit the flower’s famous smell, but it looks lovely just the same. Each sprig in this four-piece bundle measures between 14.5 and 16.5 inches. They work wonderfully as table centerpieces or to add a splash of color to your office decor, bathroom shelf, or entryway table.
Stand Up For This Mat
If there’s one place I want to be comfortable, it’s working at a computer because I do it so. many. hours. of each week. This anti-fatigue mat is appropriate for a standing desk or anywhere you spend a lot of time standing like in front of the kitchen sink or the washing machine. This mat also features built-in acupressure points to help relieve tension and reduce exhaustion.
Cue The Cushion
While we’re talking about working, let’s talk about comfort for your booty. This chair cushion makes any seated surface cozier, embracing your back, butt, and legs in a way that will make prolonged periods of sitting more comfortable. This cushion is made of memory foam and I like the portability of it so you could use it at home, at work, or in your car.
Smooth As Silk
This silk pillowcase is the secret ingredient in my beauty routine and the one that people ask me about the most. I think they’re shocked to discover that it’s not a hair smoothing serum or a particular moisturizing cream that keeps my hair and skin looking good; it’s simply a pillowcase. Silk pillowcases are great to keep your skin from creasing and wrinkling and your hair from getting dry, frizzy, and knotted.
Up For Disposal
Nothing says warm, cozy atmosphere like a hostess who has considered the needs of his or her guest. These disposable guest towels are great for a powder room because A. They keep everyone from handling the same towels and B. They add an elegant touch to a shared space. This set includes 50 towels with a linen-like feel and they are super soft and absorbent.
All Covered Up
I love me some kitchen gadgets, but I don’t love looking at them lined up on my kitchen counters. (Yeah, I’m weird like that.) A dust cover is a perfect solution to warm up your space while hiding unsightly kitchen appliances. This one is designed for a KitchenAid mixer with five to eight quarts bowls, guarding it against dirt, scratches, and household dust.
Luxury, But Make It Plastic
You want to have a dinner party, but you’re already dreading all the handwashing of dishes, pots, and pans you’re going to have to do. I don’t have a solution for the pots and pans, but this set of plastic dinnerware has an authentic china look (including the gold trim) that can be tossed into the trash when you’re finished using them. Set a cozy table; no clean-up required.
Fight The Fatigue
Kitchen mats are both functional and a great way to make a space have a bit more personality. These mats are three-quarters of an inch thick to help reduce fatigue from time spent on your feet and also look great, complete with a non-slip bottom and an anti-curl edge. You can snag this in multiple solid colors or a chic blue diamond print.
Racks On Racks
I have always loved the look of a wall-mounted pot and pan rail. Something about it makes a kitchen feel homier to me. This one features 15 S-style hooks for hanging pots and utensils and is made of thick durable hand-welded powder-coated iron metal that can support weight up to 22 pounds. Consider it for other uses, too, like coffee mugs, belts, or medals.
Enjoy A Cool Mist
Nothing on this list is going to make your home feel cozier than a cool-mist humidifier, especially as we enter these dry, cold months ahead. This one has a 1.6-gallon tank that works in rooms up to 500 square feet for up to 50 hours. Whisper quiet and filterless, this humidifier also includes an essential oil tray that circulates fragrant oils, giving you a pure and fresh smelling aroma throughout your home.
Too Much Of A Good String
We all know that mood lighting is what sets, well, the mood. This twinkle window curtain gives you a wall of lights (300, to be exact) that illuminate in various ways: waves, sequential, slogs, chasing/flash, slow fade, twinkle/flash, and steady on. Use them indoors to add some magic to a bedroom or outdoors for a beautiful glow on a balcony or porch.
Snug As A Rug
I love the idea of this plush fuzzy rug for a nursery or child’s playroom. Made with a super soft shaggy surface and a non-slip plastic spots bottom, this rug is the perfect addition to a cozy reading nook or a quiet spot for playtime. These come in four different sizes and a dozen fun color options from bright orange to lime green.
Basket Case
You know what makes a spot extra cozy? Blankets. You know what you need to store them in? This woven storage basket. Available in five neutral options, these baskets have handles for easy moving and perfectly complement any decor. Honestly, I purchased one of these and it was the piece I had been missing for that corner. Now everything feels complete.
All Fired Up
There are few things that make a day feel as cozy as warmth, specifically the warmth from a fireplace like this freestanding stove heater. The size of this fireplace makes it an option for just about any space and it boasts overheating safety protection to keep you from accidentally burning down your house. Create a charming fireside environment without the mess and smoke of a real fire.
Take A Seat
If you’re going to spend eight to 10 hours a day in a chair, it better be a comfortable one. This padded office desk chair from Amazon Basics gets high marks for being soft, sturdy, and comfortable — the trifecta of office chairs. One reviewer said, “The chair looks and feels like something you’d have in a professional office.” Except cozier, of course.
Cover Up
My entire definition of “cozy” can be summed up in one word: Pillows. I know, I know, a lot of people don’t get it. There’s even a commercial that proclaims if you have nowhere to sit, you have too many. I resoundingly disagree and offer these corduroy pillow covers as one last “shhh” to the haters. Available in various sizes and colors, you’ll need pillow inserts to pull this look completely together.
