1. Replace the cover with one made of denser materials
In winter, the lightweight or very thin covers used in summer can let in the cold and make you feel less comfortable. Opt for thicker organic cotton covers or washed linen covers, which provide softness, warmth, and breathability.
These natural materials regulate moisture and prevent the “cold bed” effect when in contact with the skin. Natural fibers are soft, breathable, and durable, contributing to healthy, restful sleep.

2. Change your comforter or make it thicker
A mid-season comforter is suitable through the fall, but starting in November, true thermal comfort becomes essential. You have two options:
- Moderate-weight comforter, rating 4 or 5, ideal for cool bedrooms
- 4-season comforter, adjustable using clips or a double layer
Natural comforters, made from wood fibers and organic cotton, provide warmth, lightness, and breathability, ensuring a restful and deep sleep throughout the night.

3. Add a mattress topper for insulation
Although often overlooked, a mattress topper plays a key role in reducing the feeling of cold coming from the mattress. It also adds softness and improves support, without the need to replace the mattress.
Kipli's natural mattress toppers, made of 100% natural latex or down, combine insulation and breathability, ensuring optimal thermal comfort for winter.
At Kipli, we offer:
A mattress topper enhances insulation and softness without replacing the mattress, while also extending its lifespan.
4. Check the pillow and protect it
In winter, the neck and back of the neck are more sensitive to the cold. A pillow that’s too thin or too cold can cause discomfort and disrupt sleep. Choose a breathable pillow with a washable pillowcase to stay warm and dry.

Natural latex pillows regulate temperature and maintain their support even under a thick pillowcase, ensuring optimal comfort throughout the night.
