Staycation Season: Get Cozy on a Budget

Who says you need a pricey plane ticket to unwind?

As spring turns to summer and long weekends start calling, it's the perfect time to plan your next escape—without leaving your comfort zone or breaking the bank. 

Your gateway to coziness is just around the corner: Whether you're soaking up the sunshine in your backyard, luxuriating in bedroom comfort, or exploring a nearby nature spot, staycations are the perfect way to connect with the world just outside (or inside) your door. 

So whether you're staying in, exploring the local scene, or glamping under the stars, here’s how to make your staycation unforgettably cozy.

Home Sweet Home

Let’s start with the classic: staying in, and enjoying the ultimate customized vacation in your own personal space.

This is your chance to indulge in the sleepytime luxuries you usually reserve for hotel rooms, and give your bedroom a whole new look while you’re at it! Swap out your everyday bedding for buttery-soft TENCEL™ Modal or cozy bamboo cotton sheets, fluff up the pillows, and layer on a designer duvet cover or cotton quilt set to give your room a quick refresh. 

Turn your bedroom into a mini spa retreat with blackout curtains, a scented diffuser, and a plush bathrobe. Bonus points for breakfast in bed. Treat yourself like the guest of honour  - with affordable luxuries that last much longer than a vacation! 

Pro tip: Add calming colours like sage green, dusty rose, or neutral tones to bring peace and mindfulness to your space.

The Local Escape

Maybe you're craving a little adventure—but not the kind that involves flight delays or luggage fees. A staycation can still mean getting out of the house. Check into a historical hotel, nature-soaked cabin, or a tropical-themed B&B nearby. 

Choose a home-away-from-home that offers something you can’t quite get at your usual dwelling. But bring your own cozy comforts to make it feel like home: a travel-friendly throw, your favourite pillow, or those fitted sheets that help you sleep just right. Or pick up a bedding travel set for complete comfort on the go.

The Rest and Restore Reset

No screens. No schedule. Just rest.

Sometimes the best staycation is a few days of total digital detox. Keep your phone out of sight, out of mind, and turn it into a self-care retreat: slow mornings, journaling, herbal tea, and a soft, quiet place to land. 

This is when healthy, breathable linens, textured throws, and silk sleep accessories really shine. They help create a sensory-rich environment that invites your nervous system to relax—and your body and mind to recover. Giving your bedroom a mindful makeover is one of the easiest and most budget-friendly ways of treating yourself while taking care of your mental health.

Make it Yours

A staycation is more than just time off—it's permission to enjoy being where you are. With the right creature comforts, your home (or nearby escape) glows up to become a sanctuary of calm, and allows you to truly unwind and relax without breaking the bank. 

We hope you’ve been inspired to make your staycation special this year! Enjoy your time off, and try to catch up on some zzz’s while you’re at it.
