Introduction

People really like to ask about my bedding setup. I’ve gotten a lot of people into my bed (stop thinking dirty). Let’s break it down.

Core

Mattress

I have the Nectar Memory Foam Mattress which is supposed to be better for side sleepers compared to the Purple mattress. Since I ordered during Black Friday, I also got the combo that comes with the mattress protector.

Sheets

While most sheets are often cotton based and have a thread count, my go-to material is always 100% viscose bamboo which is the core of the entire bedding ensemble. It’s extremely sleek, cool to the touch, and moisture-wicking for the hot sleepers, and is also the most gentle on my skin as someone with severe atopic dermatitis.

For this, I always recommend these sheets, which I’m now on my 4th set of over the years. They’ve surpassed any other sheets I’ve tried, including miracle brand which is advertised as anti-bacterial and better for your skin.

Pillows

Head Pillow

The Nectar mattress came with memory foam pillows but I’ve recently been looking to get pillow cubes as well as a side sleeper.

Body Pillow

To coincide with the rest of the memory foam in my bedding, I opted for this memory foam body pillow. It’s important to pay attention to the size of the pillow if you intend to get a body pillow cover or dakimakura.

Body Pillow Cover

Since body pillows are often not made of bamboo on the surface, I opted for a bamboo body pillow cover to have the same cool-to-the-touch sensation.
