How To Winterize A Bed with Rajiv Surendra

[@dori9024]

If I was your guest you would have take legal action to have me remove. You are such an considerate, kind man with a warm luminous soul that would make it hard to leave your presence and home. You are the definition of home 🏡

[@pansyflowerboy]

As fellow cold person who struggles to get warm in bed, I highly recommend an antique stoneware bed warmer. It's essentially a ceramic water bottle that goes at the foot of the bed. It stays warm for hours, even longer if you knit a cozy for it. They aren't incredibly common but I have found them at estate sales. A life changing discovery for me!

[@justmejo9008]

I use those magic bags/microwave heat bags as a foot warmer.. much easier to find and quick to use 🤗 cold hands and feet are no longer a painful sleepless night issue

[@sjain8111]

How do you get the stoneware hot in oven without burning yourself?

[@pansyflowerboy]

@@sjain8111 It doesn't go in the oven, you fill it with hot water like a hot water bottle. It does get quite hot, though, that's why I made a cozy for it.

I’m 73 years old, and putting the fitted sheet on my bed has been a “chore” for many years! I NEVER knew to put a sheet on from opposite corners! I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m going to. Also I would like to store my sheets just as neat as when they come out if the package. I can do pretty good, but it is an effort.I only have a full size or double bed……and have a hard time…..what do King size bed owners do? Great video! Thank our!

[@nlbhaduri]

Love the analogy of the ultra warm duvet and the arms of a big warm man! Yea, I have to use my cat as a bed warmer! LOL!! What a gorgeous combination of flannel sheets and cashmere throw! I already have the summer linen sheet set….now I must have the winter cozy sheets! Portugal makes the BEST flannel IMO! Cozy fan tutti!!! You are the best!!

I love you Rajiv and I'm so happy to hear you talk about gentlemen suitors. Who ever captures your heart is gonna be one lucky gentlemen.

[@enoms7873]

As someone who grew up in denmark and france, the sheet americans have between the duvet and the bedsheet always amused me (or enraged me when they did not have a duvet over ?? Sleeping without duvet ? Criminal) In denmark we switch out the duvets seasonally, to suit the changing climate - as it gets so so very cold here (-)_(-) In france we keep bags of lavender dried flowers between sheets and in sock drawers ❤ A great tip for a winter bead from my mother - sew up a cotton bag and fill with grains (wheat or rice both work) , before bed you put it in the microwave or low oven to heat, and then put it in the bed between the sheet and duvet. When you get in bed your sheets are pre warmed, so comforting!

[@elissalombard7021]

On the one hand I want him to have all the privacy he wants, but wouldn’t it be so cute to have him create videos with his big warm man one day

[@markhedger6378]

For guests that suffer from the cold, I also like to put a pure woollen Whitney blanket under the flat sheet , it really keeps them toasty. (and for my mum a cashmere beany hat and matching socks on the pillow for her) wool definitely has the ultimate cosy factor.Great video and great tips ,thank you.

[@Slivings911]

It’s beautiful and so inviting looking. If there’s a gap between the top of the mattress and the sofa back, you can fill it with the sofa’s seat cushions, which will make a padded headboard. Nice for reading in bed, or watching movies with your buddies. 😊

I have a wool mattress topper, two down duvets (one with an allergy proof cover which is very tightly woven so retains warmth), a wool blanket and if needed a hot water bottle too! The heating goes off at night and I'm never cold.

[@treemerryweather]

60 years ago I had a sleepover at a new friend's house. It was my first cold winter since moving to D.C. from Key West. their guest rooms were in their finished basement and I slept in a twin bed with down mattress topper and a down comforter...it was like sleeping in a very warm, dense cloud.

[@jennifergriffiths3941]

Tucking in with a hot water bottle (or two- one for feet & one for torso) is my best go to when just too cold to be able to relax & go to sleep … much more comfy & cozy than an electric blanket for me … water heat is MUCH MORE healthy than electric heat … hospitals use water heat too as the benefits are obvious to the medical community are proven… Glad to see you emphasize the need for bed winterization techniques🥰

[@glynysthomas8578]

Always good tips and lovely aesthetic. Really appreciate the kitty-corner approach to fitted sheets! Who knew!? For older people, it is also advised to not tuck in the bottom of the top sheet which can cramp older feet. Interestingly, I believe that Europeans do not use a top sheet when using a duvet and cover. Americans tend to use both sheets with a quilt, the top sheet protecting the quilt so that it requires only periodic washing.

[@ElAlimoche]

I’ve started doing that now too. It also gives you the option of throwing off the duvet if you get too hot!

[@freedomyogini255]

I had no idea I needed to learn how to winterize a bed. So many great tips ! I never imagined I would need a flat sheet with my covered duvet... and the blanket under the fitted sheet ? That’s genius. Not all mattresses have a winter side. Thank you for reminding me of the bar of soap trick. I use lavender filled cloth bags but bars of soap can make it extra special as you can choose different scents according to the pattern of your sheets or to the person you’re making the bed for, cause yeah, some of my guest beddings are designated to special someones. Also, I buy one extra pillow case to put the folded sheets and cover and cases in so they are protected from dust and be put away nicely without fear of misplacing a piece.

May I suggest that you cover the mattress with a bed bug cover that will enclose the mattress and keep it pristine. Another precaution can be to put a spill resistant cover over the top, I never regretting putting those protections. I had a sofa bed and the metal bars can poke your guest in the middle back, I wonder if something could be put underneath the mattress to shield from these metal bars. Whenever I would sleep at someone's place, the artificial smells from detergent would bother me so much, I couldn't sleep, if you add a soap, make it a natural smell, live lavender or camomille.

Rajiv, I really appreciate how, although your tastes and habits are refined and beautiful, and you delight in finding/making new (carefully selected) objects, you don't hesitate to re-wear outfits regularly, and you're comfortable allowing your home to stay largely the same over time (meaning no major redecorating, "hauls" of constantly accumulating stuff, etc.). You focus on quality *living* instead, with integrity and joy. What a welcome relief! Although you certainly inspire others to try new things, your tone and themes elevate us, rather than feeding into the discontent that so often manifests after seeing other "lifestyle" vloggers. Also, I deeply appreciate your example as a self-confident, kind, creative and generous-spirited *man.* Again, your pieces are oases in the midst of so much hyper-macho "hustle and grind" content. You welcome and share, rather than compete and bluster. Thank you.
