After a long day, there’s nothing better than coming home and sinking into bed after your skincare routine. The bedroom should be your escape from the world. The issue? When you’re finally ready to relax, and yet you find yourself tossing and turning, unable to sleep. If this sounds like a nightly struggle, maybe it’s time to rethink your sleep setup.
A proper snooze-inducing setup goes way beyond just closing your eyes and hoping for the best.

2. Quilted Blanket/Duvets
Price: ₦60,000 – ₦70,000. Where to buy: Shop Esorae
There’s nothing better than wrapping yourself up like a shawarma after a long day, and this king-size Quilted Blanket is perfect for the job. Designed with premium fillings—think down, feather, or hypoallergenic alternatives—it’s all about giving you warmth without the weight. The intricate stitching adds a polished look to the bedroom, and it’s breathable, so this way I’m comfortable without being hot.
3. Throw Blankets
Price: ₦55,000 – ₦60,000. Where to Buy: Shop Vivano.
As much as I love my duvet, there are nights when I just want something lighter, and that’s where this Cotton Throw Blanket comes in. It’s the perfect middle ground—soft, cozy, and just the right weight for those warmer nights when you still want to feel wrapped up. The cotton feels breathable but warm enough to keep you comfortable. Plus, it adds a touch of effortless style to the bed or couch. Whether you're binge-watching a show or winding down after a long day, this throw is the perfect go-to for that extra bit of comfort.
4. Linen Bedsheets
Price: ₦12,000.00 – ₦230,000. Where to Buy: Shop Vivano.
Ever since I started using linen bedsheets, I can’t imagine going back. The Ixora Deluxe Linen Collection is my current favourite—it’s made from 400-thread-count cotton with this sateen finish that gives it a soft, slightly shiny look. They feel so good against your skin, and I love how durable they are—no pilling or fading, even after multiple washes.
I usually go for plain colours, and these have so many good options, like White, Mint, or Steel Grey. The fitted sheet stays snug on my 6” x 6” bed thanks to the deep 15” pockets, and you can even get a full set with a duvet cover and matching pillowcases if you want everything to match. Just a heads-up: use a mild detergent and avoid bleach to keep them looking and feeling amazing. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your bedding, I’d totally recommend these—they’re so worth it!
5. Scented Candles
The finishing touch to a truly relaxing sleep space? The right atmosphere. A softly scented candle can make all the difference, setting a calm, soothing vibe that invites you to unwind. Because let’s be real, the mood matters just as much as the mattress.
I prefer smokeless options, so I use wax melts but my current candle rotation include candles from Rekoja and The Green Wick.
