Whether you’re in the market for new bedding options or just looking to zhuzh up your space a bit, we firmly believe that self-care = investing in stuff for your bedroom that sparks joy. And since spring cleaning is the name of the game right now, we rounded up some items to help ya refresh your bedroom and give it a good old-fashioned upgrade. We’ve got everything from cooling sheets that are great for hot sleepers to accessories that’ll make your space feel extra special and cozy.

Sometimes you just gotta restock your basics. And no one does reliable bedding like Brooklinen does. This classic sheet set — you’ll get a flat and fitted sheet, and two pillowcases — is a go-to (ahem, it’s got more than 14K customer reviews) for a reason. It’s made from 100% long-staple cotton that mimics the feel of hotel-style sheets. Think: super crisp with a soft matte finish. They’ll get softer with every use and wash. Plus, they have “long” and “short” sides labeled on the inside so it’s easy to make the bed after you wash ’em. ($109+, Brooklinen)

If you prefer a neutral bedroom with just a hint of personality, these are calling your name. They add the perfect pop of color and will make ya happy every time you see ’em. They’re 100% organic cotton, machine washable, and can fit a standard pillow size. Love it. ($34/set of 2, Baggu)

ICYMI: Linen’s great for hot sleepers but not always budget-friendly. Enter: This 100% natural French linen sheet set that packs the quality but doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. They’re sourced from Normandy and are stone-washed (as compared to chemically washed), so they’ll be super soft to the touch. The sheets are hypoallergenic, moisture-wicking, and breathable too — aka less tossing and turning when your room gets hot. Other features we love? They have deep pockets and rip-resistant elastic so they won’t slip off your mattress and move around every time you hop into bed. Win. ($145+, Amazon)

If you’ve got Earth Day on your mind every day, you might wanna scoop up this 100% organic cotton comforter. It’s grown and woven in India, GOTS-certified, and comes in a reusable organic cloth bag instead of plastic packaging. Depending on your needs it can act as a standalone comforter or as a duvet insert (it has corner loops, which make it easy for anchoring). Plus, it’s machine washable which makes caring for it NBD. Do it. ($298+, Coyuchi)

It’s made with a combination of bamboo, rayon, and foam that’s free of harmful chemicals. Customers who’ve had problems with down-filled pillows aggravating their allergies say they slept better on this one. It’s also customizable for different types of sleepers. Take some foam out, put some back in, and you’ll find the firmness that’s perfect for you. ($69.99+, Amazon)

PS: We rounded up everything you’ll need for allergy season. Check it out.

Out with heavy, winter duvets, in with something light and airy. This 100% organic cotton throw is made from a soft, drapey waffle weave and will add the perfect hint of texture to any space. Choose from three neutral colors, drape it around yourself while you take an afternoon nap or throw it on your bed for use at night. Sweet dreams. ($89, Casper)

Just because it’s eco-friendly doesn’t mean it has to look like it. These 100% bamboo sheets are silky-soft and ultra breathable thanks to their weave’s cooling effects. So if you’re someone who’s constantly tossing and turning at night, you might wanna think about investing in these. Oh, and making the bed is easy thanks to the deep pockets and inside labels that tell which side it belongs on. According to the brand, their silk is comparable to a 1,000-cotton thread count. Plus, the sheet sets (you’ll get a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and pillowcases) reportedly use 500x less water and produce 52% less CO2 than traditional cotton. Do good, feel good, sleep good. The magic trifecta. ($169+, Ettitude)

Because the last time you changed yours out was…never. So it’s probably time to think about replacing the one you have. This stain-resistant pad lets you protect your mattress without skimping on the comfort. The diamond-quilted top has a hypoallergenic down-alternative fill to provide some extra softness. And its elastic skirt fits snugly around the mattress so you won’t have to worry about it slipping off. Phew. ($25.99+, Wayfair)

Think: the clothes you want to wear for your big night out, your fave bag you wanna display, and everything in between. This leaning ladder doesn’t require any wall mounting and is made of steel and wood. It comes with silicone padding on both ends so you don’t have to worry about damage to your floors and walls. Choose white or black and get ready to post a pic to your Insta feed. Say cheese. ($66, Brooklinen)

Fact: You can never have a bad day if dumplings are involved. So why not give yourself the gift of this absolutely adorable dumpling light? It’s petite enough to fit into the palm of your hand, easy to clean, and battery-operated — so you won’t have to worry about rearranging your entire outlet situation to use it. Triple win. ($22, Urban Outfitters)

Treat your plant the way you want to be treated…that’s the saying, right? There’s nothing better than filling your space up with lots of greenery. But with that comes the need for some pots. Enter: this patterned one that’s aesthetically pleasing and functional. It’s pretty small and weighs in at juuust over a pound. Choose from one of the three fun colors and presto, you’re golden. ($20, Urban Outfitters)

Once you try a Ruggable you’ll never go back. Trust. Ruggable is famous for its two-piece system that makes cleaning up super easy. Each one comes with two parts — a cover and a pad (you can opt for a cushioned one if you prefer). When you’re ready to clean it, you can peel off the cover and throw it in the washing machine. It’s great for anyone who tends to spill their wine, has pets who leave their marks, or kiddos who can’t keep anything clean. This Jonathan Adler optical one comes in a ton of different sizes and shapes, from runners and 2x3s to round options and big area rugs. Go for it. ($109+, Ruggable)

April showers bring…a floral mirror, of course. Choose from black, lavender or cream for some instant added joy while getting your skincare routine on. It has room to hold a few belongings in the tray area too — so you can use it as a safe space for your go-to MVPs. ($49, Urban Outfitters)

Comforting vibes shouldn’t only be reserved for winter. With this decorative set you’ll get five natural-looking faux vines to hang from your ceiling. And you can instantly turn a plain space into a zen heaven — no maintenance required. Ahhh. ($12, Urban Outfitters)

Loftie does it all. And with a two-phase alarm, you won't dread waking up in the morning. The first alarm gently stirs you, while the second is designed to get you out of bed.
