As you build a new life with your partner, one thing you want to have on your wedding registry is great bedding. After all, as feng shui<\/a> experts say, the bedroom in many ways is the foundation for a successful marriage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the right bedding\u2014from sheets to pillows to blankets to comforters\u2014might seem simple, but there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind before adding any of these items to your registry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When selecting bedding, registrants should also consider their sleep styles and if they need specific sleep solutions, like coolingmattress pads<\/span> orweighted blankets<\/span>, for example,” explains Jessica Joyce, a wedding registry expert at Bed, Bath & Beyond<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best bedding for your wedding registry: how to choose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To help you make sense of the different bedding items out there and decide what to include on your registry, I tapped Joyce for her expertise. As someone who got married a year and a half ago, I’m also sharing my tips for adding bedding to your registry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select sheets and pillows according to your sleep persona<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“People spend one-third of their lifetime in their bed, and the first step to getting a good night’s sleep is identifying your sleep persona,” says Joyce. “Couples’ sleep personas<\/a> can vary so you want to ensure you’re outfitting your space to accommodate your specific sleep needs.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, my husband is a hot sleeper<\/a> who tends to move around a lot in bed. On the other hand, I’m usually hogging the comforter and snooze on my right side for most of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before adding sheets to my registry, I made a note of the bedding we already had and researched different materials and weaves that suited our needs. I chose cotton and linen sheets<\/span> for my registry because they’re both lightweight and breathable materials that can be easily layered with blankets<\/a> or a comforter during colder months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If you are a hot sleeper, you should strongly consider getting a natural fiber sheet set,” says Joyce. “Cotton is the all-around favorite as a natural fiber.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the cotton category, she likespercale sheets<\/span> for hot sleepers because they have a crisper finish and therefore feel cooler, as opposed to sateen sheets, which feel warmer and cozier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the winter, meanwhile, Joyce says, “cold-weather sleepers might want to invest in some cozy flannel sheets<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joyce also advises that every couple should have at least two sets of bed sheets for every bedroom in the house\u2014one for the bed and one for the laundry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to a comforter, it’s worth adding a high-quality one to your wedding registry. “Don’t shy away from adding a few higher-ticket items to your registry wish list, such as a great down comforter,” Joyce notes. Down is the gold standard of comforter fillings\u2014and a good down comforter should last you up to 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Down isn’t your only option, though. Because my husband tends to run hot at night, I chose a down alternative comforter with eucalyptus for its cooling effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for pillows, Joyce advises couples to find ones that will support their individual sleep positions. “For example, if you’re a side sleeper, make sure that you register for a pillow with a high-firm profile so that it comfortably fills the gap between the outer edge of your shoulder and your ear,” she says. A memory foam pillow<\/span> is a good option for side sleepers<\/a> because it provides excellent pain and pressure relief for your head, neck, and shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re a back sleeper, then add a thinner to medium-thick pillow to your registry. This will help keep your head, neck, and spine properly aligned. Alatex pillow<\/span> is an especially nice choice for back sleepers because it’s buoyant, responsive, and excels at head and neck support. It also sleeps cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stomach sleeper? Opt for a thinner pillow, which will allow you to breathe and minimize the amount of strain on your neck. Because you sleep face-down with your nose right against the pillow, choose one made from a hypoallergenic material, like latex or bamboo, along with a hypoallergenic cover and pillowcase made from a natural material like cotton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond taking your sleep position into account, Joyce suggests hot sleepers get cooling pillows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus: “Always remember, one good-quality pillow can make up for the multiple low-quality pillows, so keep that in mind when doing your research and comparing prices,” she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider pillow and mattress protectors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For allergy sufferers<\/a>, Joyce recommends amattress protector<\/span>and pillow protectors to shield against dust mites and other allergens. My husband and I are both prone to allergies, so I added pillow protectors to our registry. Pillow protectors also work to prevent sweat and drool from seeping into fabrics, making it easier to keep your pillows clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get a mattress topper for additional support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you or your partner wakes up with back or neck pain, Joyce says getting a memory foam mattress topper<\/a> can help provide more support and alleviate the strain. A latex mattress topper<\/a>, on the other hand, is a good option for hot sleepers since latex sleeps cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, amattress topper<\/span>adds another layer of comfort to a firm or extra-firm mattress and can help protect your mattress from stains and sweat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
