MY HAPPY PLACE WITH COCOON BY SEALY + A GIVEAWAY
PHOTOGRAPHY BY CRAIG MACKAY
Craig and I made a big move in January. We’ve been in our new place for about 2 and a half months and we’re still very much in the getting settled phase. One thing we hadn’t decided on yet was a new mattress. I find mattress shopping to be like going to the dentist, not enjoyable, so when we got the opportunity to try the new Cocoon by Sealy mattress I jumped at the chance.

Cocoon by Sealy is sold exclusively online at CocoonbySealy.com. It’s a new Tempur Sealy mattress brand that delivers a mattress-in-a-box right to your doorstep. We’ve always had Sealy mattresses so I was definitely intrigued by their new product. Even better, Cocoon by Sealy offers 100% Satisfaction guaranteed, 100 Night Trial, Free Shipping and a 10 year warranty. If you want to return it, there’s no fee, they’ll arrange to pick it up for you and donate it to a local agency.
The delivery process couldn’t have been easier. I knew when to expect it based on the tracking info I received, and the mattress was dropped off at our door. We’re still in the process of deciding where we want out master bedroom to be since we have two bedrooms in our new place. Bear with me since this room is basically empty. Making our bedroom our happy place had to start with finding the right mattress.

The unboxing process is super simple. Once you take the mattress out, you unroll it and within about 30 seconds the mattress takes shape. One thing I really liked was that there was no weird odor. I’ve order mattress toppers before and the smell was almost unbearable. This mattress was ready to be slept on!

I couldn’t believe the quality and comfort of the mattress, I guess that’s what happens when you get a mattress from a company that’s been doing it for over 100 years. We decided to go with a softer King (you can choose from, Twin, Queen, King and California King). Did I mention they range in price from $549-$999, yes nothing over $1000! When deciding between softer or firmer it comes down to if you prefer to sleep “in” your bed (softer) or “on” your bed (firmer). As Craig and I both have back issues we both prefer a slightly softer feel.

We were both pleasantly surprised after the first night on our new mattress. We both woke up with less pain and had a more restful night sleep, less tossing and turning trying to get comfortable. It was soft, but not too soft. We’ve been sleeping on it for about a week now and haven’t looked back! We are so excited to officially start making our bedroom our happy place. Stay tuned to see our finished bedroom makeover in a few weeks. I’m also so happy to be partnering with Cocoon by Sealy to give away a mattress to one lucky winner. You’ll be able to choose a soft or firm mattress in Twin, Queen or King. Enter below and good luck!

Soothing colors and simple design makes my bedroom a happy place
I’ve been trying to clear the clutter from my bedroom so it’s less distracting.
I fill my walls with photos from vacations I’ve taken and decorate in a beachy type of theme so I always feel happy in there…
fuzzy blankets and squishy pillows
I’ve been looking for a new mattress! Your blog post is right on time 🙂
I love certain pictures and I have them placed on dressers. I love the sheets and bedcovering on my bed. It is cozy.
I make our bedroom happy by painting the ceiling gold!!
It’s all about the atmosphere. I make my bedroom a happy place by adding my favorite scents and keeping the lighting relatively low. Sometimes I play soft music when I’m winding down for the day.
I try to decorate using soothing earth tone colors.
I have an afgan knitted by my grandma on the foot of my bed, and my husband with his head on the pillow. Lavender candle filling the air. Happy place indeed.
Three of my four rescued Treeing Walker Coonhounds share my bedroom – and bed. It’s always great to cuddle them and my Kyoko gets all playful and makes the funniest noises. The fourth one, my senior girl, Suki, sleeps on an orthopedic dog bed in my daughter’s room so she doesn’t get disturbed by the others.
Make it my happy place with a special reading nook all for myself away from the family for some alone time. I also ensure that I have good lighting in there and try to have a fresh flower in a vase on my nightstand.
soft sheets!
BTW – I’ll be interested to hear how this mattress is for your back! My husband also has chronic back pain and it leads us to always put off buying a new mattress because we never know what will be good!
I decorate it to make me feel comfort. I really love Disney and Fairies so i decked out my room in these.I also have lots and lots of pillows to make it comfy on the bed. Its my favorite place
I always have a small bouquet of flowers on my bedside table to bring a little something extra to the room. *fingers crossed*
Linen sheets and cozy socks!
I buy the softest sheets and pillowcases. I get comfy blankets and it’s heaven!
My bedroom is my escape; my sanctuary.
It has to be comfortable (good mattress) & cozy (great bedding & tons of pillows)!! I also adore the huge windows in my room that allow me to let nature in…
It’s about the soft blankets and who you share them with. Those are the key to happiness in the bedroom.
Making my bedroom more comfortable and relaxing is on my agenda for the next room in the house. A new mattress would be a great start!
Your blog post is right on time because I’ve been looking for a new mattress!
i make my bed every morning with a heated blanket as the second layer and a big fluffy plush blanket on top. before i get in bed, i turn on the heated blanket and then it’s nice and cozy as i slide in. my current mattress is at least 7 years old, so it would be sooo nice to add a new one to make us even happier 🙂
I’m overdue for a new mattress and this sounds great.
I like to make my bedroom tranquil and my serene getaway
No TV and minimizing electronic use. Makes it a place of tranquility.
I make it very calming and comfortable. The colors and my favorite things…books.
I make my bedroom my happy place by decorating with neutral colors and making is smell pretty. Also a comfy bed is important to me(:
I make it happy with soothing colors throughout the room and extra pillows.

Soft lighting, air-purifying plants, and cozy sheets!
I decorate with a minimalistic casual cool vibe to make it feel like my happy place!
I feel like bedding makes the bedroom! Cool textures and luxurious fabrics that make you smile whenever you climb into bed at the end of the day! My boyfriend and I are currently hunting for a new mattress for our first place together and are trying to find one that balances his preferences and my back issues, sounds like we may have to give this one a try! 🙂
I light a candle, put on fuzzy socks and read a book 🙂
With the plug in air freshener! Nothing better than fresh sheets, and a clean smelling air!
I use black out curtains to ensure I get every minute of sleep I can and dimmers so that it’s not overly bright and it’s a relaxing environment.
Softest sheets ever and good lighting is what makes my bedroom a very happy place to be.
Nice clean cozy sheets and soft pillows and blackout shades to keep out the early morning sun. Sleep is my favorite!
I work overnight so coming home to the perfect mattress to get some good sleep is so important to me!
Tons of pillows and a sound machine!
My bedroom gets all the afternoon sun. It is quite large, and it’s the perfect place to take a nap.I do it every weekend.
i keep a fan running so its always nice and cool and i have faux flowers everywhere 🙂
Lots and lots of pillows. Good sheets and a nice fluffy comforter are important as well. 🙂
No TV and lots of reading material with comfy blankets and pillows make my bedroom my happy “relaxation” place! The perfect mattress would definitely help 🙂
adding personal touches and comfortable bedding and keeping the colors soothing. My daughter has outgrown her bed and has been sleeping with us lately, we would love to have our bed back. *crossing my fingers*
How awesome that you both woke up with less pain- and that looks so stinking comfortable! I have been needing a new mattress for years. I am currently still using my queen from when I was in middle school and I am now 24.. whoops! 😉 I make my room my happy place by adding all of the touches of things that I love. Decor, photos and art.. oh and you can’t forget yummy fragrance!
Soft sheets and big fluffy comforter 🙂
Love your jeans!
Please let us know your thoughts when your 100 days are up. 🙂
Once your 100 days are up please let us know your thoughts on the bed please.. 🙂 Love the blog by the way..
I like decorating with really soft blues and grays to keep it tranquil and making sure evrything is super soft and comfortable. I’ve also learned to use my bed only for sleeping and not reading or watching TV.
calm colors…plants….no clutter…aaahhh.
My hubby and I love soft, oversized fuzzy blankets and lots of pillows!
We’ve made the bedroom our happy place by having a little library in there and not having a tv!
My bedroom feels like a happy place when it is uncluttered and organized.
My bedroom is not currently my happy place, but its getting there! I just ripped up the old carpet last night (there is hardwood underneath!) and am getting ready to start painting the walls (Gray Wisp by Benjamin Moore). I know that once I get a fresh coat of paint on the walls, a cozy area rug, and hopefully a new Cocoon by Sealy mattress, my bedroom will be a much needed oasis.
Organize everything and add candles and clean decor to create a serene environment
We make our bedroom a happy place by having a TV, some books, and most importantly, a lock on the door!!!
Lots of pillows and super soft blankets gets me to my happy place ☺️
I like to have aroma candles and beautiful art on the walls of my room. Always makes me feel relaxed and happy 🙂
lots of comfy linens!
My bedroom is happy place with my favorite photos, bedding and scented candles!
i make my bedroom a happy place by sharing love hugs to my kids and well having candles lit and the smell of comfort around having tv also helps
I love making my bedroom my happy place with family pictures that I love hung on the wall. Lots of beautiful black and white memories.
