Whether you’re here full-time or have a holiday home that you rent out, creating a cosy and comfortable space is essential. At The Bed Centre, we understand the needs of our international community. We are here to help you turn your holiday home into a relaxing retreat.
Choosing the Perfect Mattress
One of the most critical elements of a good night’s sleep is a high-quality mattress. The Costa Blanca has a warm climate. You need a mattress that is both comfortable and breathable.
Material Matters
When it comes to choosing a mattress, the material is paramount. People like memory foam mattresses for their support and contouring. But, perhaps very importantly in the middle of August they can retain heat. Consider choosing hybrid mattresses. They combine memory foam with breathable materials such as latex or gel-infused foam. These options provide great support but they also keep you cool on hot summer nights.
Firmness Level
Finding the right firmness level is crucial for a comfortable night’s sleep. While some people prefer a firm mattress for better back support, others might opt for a softer feel. At The Bed Centre, we offer a range of firmness levels to suit every preference. Visit our mattress section. You can explore our wide selection and find the perfect fit for you.
We have also written extensively on this subject in other blogs – take a look at some of our articles on mattress choice:

Size and Dimensions
Ensure your mattress fits your bed frame. You may say it’s simple, but it’s very important. This is especially true if the frame comes from your home country. Standard sizes in Spain may differ from those in your home country. So, it’s essential to measure your bed frame well. If you’re unsure about the dimensions, our team at The Bed Centre can assist you in finding the right size.
Selecting High-Quality Bed Linens
Your choice of bed linen impacts your sleeping experience. The right sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases can make all the difference. They affect comfort and style.
Fabric Choices
Opt for natural fabrics like cotton, linen, or bamboo. These materials are breathable and moisture-wicking, perfect for the warm Costa Blanca climate. Many people know Egyptian cotton sheets for their softness and durability. They are an excellent choice for a luxurious feel.
Thread count is a measure of softness. But, it’s not the only factor.
Aim for a thread count between 300 and 500 for a balance of softness and durability. Remember that the quality of the cotton is as important as the thread count.
Style and Colour
Choose bed linen that complements your bedroom decor. Light, neutral colours create a calm atmosphere. They can relax you. But, vibrant hues can add personality. At The Bed Centre, we offer a variety of styles to suit every taste. Check out our bed linen collection for inspiration.

Adding Soft Furnishings for a Cosy Touch
Soft furnishings, like cushions, throws, and rugs, can make your bedroom cosy. They also make it stylish.
Cushions and Throws
Layering cushions and throws on your bed adds texture and warmth. Mix and match different fabrics and patterns to create a cosy, inviting space. Choose thin throws in the summer. Choose thick, warm ones for the cooler months.
Rugs
A soft rug underfoot can make your bedroom feel more comfortable and homely. Choose a rug that complements your bed linen and decor. Natural fibre rugs, such as jute or sisal, are durable and add a touch of rustic charm.
Curtains and Blinds
Don’t overlook the importance of window treatments. Blackout curtains are vital. They block out the bright Spanish sun. This ensures a restful night’s sleep. Light, airy curtains can add a touch of elegance while still providing privacy.
Our selection of soft furnishings at The Bed Centre will help you create a space that feels like home.
Preparing Your Home for Renters
