First off, I take my sleep very, very, very seriously. Now that I am a mama of two precious (but extremely busy) babies, I find myself looking forward to getting into bed every night. Most days I actually can not wait to crawl into my soft, cozy, comfortable bed. I am normally climbing into bed at midnight (although I am trying to be better about going to bed earlier!) after finishing up work and getting up at 5:30 am to make it to the gym, so it’s safe to say that I want the sleep that I actually do get to be ahhhmazing! I have recently come up with a routine that has helped me get better, more peaceful sleep. I will always shower before bed, do my skincare routine, and brush my teeth. I then turn on my diffuser and use lavender or serenity essential oil to help set a calm and peaceful mood. I get my oils from @jewlhinton (she is awesome and sooo educational, definitely check her out!) I also have been doing guided meditations that I am LOVING. If you haven’t heard of it, google it! It’s amazing. When I took a question to insta story, it was so fun hearing how many of you were also into it! I definitely got some great recommendations and have started using the app Headspace.
Now, your sleep is only going to be as good as your bedding is. Mr. Thompson & I are extremely into quality bedding, pillows, blankets, etc and always have been! (When we were first married and poor college students, we saved and saved and saved for the comforter that we wanted instead of going on date nights or eating out and it was so worth it!) If you have been following me for a while, then you’ve probably seen me tag, talk about, and post about Cariloha before. It’s basically because I am #OBSESSED with their brand. I first got their sheets over a year ago and they are seriously life changing (no, I’m not exaggerating!) They are amazingly soft and comfortable. They are made from bamboo, feel so luxurious, and are sooo much cooler than any other sheets I’ve ever used! They are actually thermal-regulating, meaning that they can keep you cool during the warmer months, and warmer during the cooler months. All of their products are also anti-odor and naturally antibacterial.
Because I am so hooked on their sheets and have been for over a year now, I wanted to try more of their products! (I’m basically their number one fan. Funny story, when I was visiting San Francisco with my mom about a year ago, I was SO stoked I was able to visit their store in person and I took a photo in their store front and sent it to them, haha! I told you, I’m obsessed. See the photo here) I now have the Cariloha pillows, mattress, sheets, and comforter & I’ll tell you why I love each one! A mattress is the most important part of your sleep, in my opinion! I was beyond stoked to get this mattress because I have heard amazing reviews on it. It is seriously sooo comfortable and soft. The mattress adapts to your body shape, alleviating pressure off the body’s main contour points. My husband and I are in love.. if you’ve talked to him in the last couple of months he probably has brought up this mattress because he is so impressed with it! Like the sheets and comforter, the mattress is designed to help you sleep cooler. Seriously read more about the mattress here, because it is SO awesome! Oh, and it comes in a convenient box which makes the whole set up process so easy. We got the pillows as well which are made from bamboo charcoal memory foam. They are beyond comfortable, hypoallergenic, and breathable. The cover is removable and washable, too! On our bed I am sure you have seen that we have this quilt. It is silk, so I am very careful with it. We don’t dare sleep with it! We fold it to the bottom of the bed, and instead sleep with our Cariloha comforter. I’m am not kidding when I say that snuggling into this comforter is my very favorite part. It is perfect for all seasons! Its interior + exterior are made from viscose from bamboo. Have you had a duvet that kind of bunches up or loses it’s fluff in certain spots? This one doesn’t! It keeps its fluffiness and is soooo extremely heavenly comfortable!
If you are interested in some good quality, luxury sleep, then you need some Cariloha in your life! Because I love ya’ll so much I asked Cariloha to provide a discount code for my readers! Use the code ‘DTHOMPSY20’ for 20% off site-wide and thank me later 😉 You will be obsessed!!
*Thank you to Cariloha for partnering on this post! As always, I only share products that I truly love & use!
This bedding looks amazing! I do have a few questions though! Your husband looks like he works out/ lifts weights. My husband does as well but he fells like he sleeps better on harder surfaces, (so seriously after a big work out he will sleep on the floor!) does your husband ever feel like that? If so, does this mattress and bedding help with that?
Hi Amily! My husband likes to lay on the floor as well (so weird, right?! ahah) but he does like this mattress because it is firm. What has made a big difference for him are actually the pillows! He said they have helped him with soreness after workouts so much! Hope this helps! XOXO
You have some very relaxing steps before you go to bed. I think I might take the tip and get some essential oils as well. These sheets seem very cozy! You’re going to make me just like you and be super obsessed with them (haha).
You totally need to try essential oils! They are awesome. And the bedding really is just soooo good! Thanks for the comment, Patty! XO
Being a parent of two little boys I totally feel you! I really need a bed that can provide me good nights sleep. If I don’t have a good night sleep, the next day I usually can’t really enjoy the time with my kids. And another thing I like about Cariloha is they have baaboo products! Love to try it! Thank you!
