It's finally starting to feel like fall, and you know what that means: Cozy season is here. For some, the couch might be the preferred hibernation station, but for me? It's my bed. Of course, even the most committed sofa-philes might see things my way if their beds felt more luxurious, more inviting, more ... hotel-like. And while upgrading one's sleep situation might sound daunting (and costly), it doesn't have to be. According to Bed Stylist Brooke Jacobs, there's one simple trick that can take a snooze surface from drab to fab.
"Adding a coverlet or quilt can give that layered, plush look," she says. "Sometimes, even a second, lighter-filled duvet can help create extra volume." Quilter Christopher Thompson echoes that idea: "Adding a quilt to your bed gives you a designer look without the designer price."
Just as layering clothes can elevate an outfit, layering your linens gives a bed's appearance a sense of ... intentionality. Plus, it allows you to add and remove items depending on how hot or cold you sleep, offering more versatility than one thick blanket. As Stacey Breezeel, co-owner of Shine Interior Design Studio, says, "A light quilt or coverlet is a great alternative to bulky comforters — just enough to keep the chill away on crisp mornings while feeling airy and fresh." In the spirit of converting some of you couch cherishers, I've found a bevy of options worthy of a place on your bed — and they start at just $25.
Topping your bed with this vintage-inspired layer will instantly make it look more inviting. With textured stitching and scalloped edges, it's all about the details, and while it's not the warmest blanket on this list, it's definitely among the prettiest.
Plush and oh-so-popular, this blankie is lightweight but toasty enough for winter. I first felt this supremely soft comforter at my sister's house and immediately told her to send me the product link so I could buy one for myself.
It's Oeko-Tex Standard 100-certified, feels lighter than air but also manages to keep me warm enough on cold nights. It has a box-stitch design to help keep the filling evenly distributed, and I haven't noticed any shifting. Pro tip: Pair it with a luxurious duvet cover, and no one will guess that the comforter inside costs less than $40 (I use this bamboo beauty from Cozy Earth).
Matchy-matchy! Available in many autumnal hues and neutrals, this coverlet comes with two pillow shams to create a cohesive look. A thin layer of microfiber filling keeps things just cozy enough without feeling too stifling, and the clover pattern is a sweet, simple touch.
Look familiar? It doesn't get more hotel-esque than this cover, which is used by hoteliers Courtyard by Marriott, Fairfield and Residence Inn. Made of a cotton blend, it's more airy than thick, making it ideal for pairing with some cozy flannel sheets. The textured fabric gives it a more elevated look than your standard bedspread.
The pretty pattern on this blanket might look embroidered, but it's actually embossed, meaning you won't have to worry about any stitching coming loose in the wash. Designed for year-round use, it can be used as a layer during the cooler months and on its own once summer comes around again. Oh, and you'll get two matching shams to complete the look.
This plush comforter comes in three thicknesses, including "light warmth," should you want to use it as a secondary layer. The shell is made of 100% cotton, while the fill is a combination of goose feather and goose down fibers to up the fluffiness factor.
Made of 100% cotton, this breezy layer features a waffle-weave pattern that feels a bit spa-like — just what the doctor ordered on a chilly morning. Since it's on the lighter side, it would be ideal for pairing with thicker sheets.
Senior Home Editor Jessica Dodell-Feder named this lively linen "best geometric quilt" in her story about the best quilts of 2025. If you appreciate a bold pattern, you can't do much better than this 100% cotton cover, which comes with two shams to keep the print party going.
If the previous pattern is a bit too busy for you, perhaps this more subtle checkered bedspread would appeal. It's also made of 100% cotton and comes in the prettiest neutrals and dusty tones — good luck choosing just one!
