How To Layer Your Bed Like a Designer This Summer – And Why It’s Actually the Simple Secret to a Cooler Night’s Sleep

Bedroom with a black metal four-poster bed, lilac linen bedding and a neutral lumbar pillow, four framed prints on the wall in black frames, and black nightstands on either side with table lamps.

It’s a lovely ritual of shifting out of the winter months and into lighter, longer, warmer days. But there’s one space in your home that could benefit from the same attention: your bed.
