The Art of Staying In: Hibernation Season

While we may not embrace hibernation in the same way as our furry friends do, we humans still need the winter season to slow down, get comfy, and recharge. In our cozy caves, we snuggle up together to keep warm while the cold wind outside sings us to sleep. So stay in, pull on your softest socks, and tuck into hibernation season with us!

The Call of the Cocoon

Nestled under the fluffiest duvet, a pile of blankets, or in a homemade pillow fort, that’s where we long to be this season. Whether your winter sanctuary is on the couch, on your bed, or spread out sleepover-style on the floor, cocooning season is calling, and you should answer.

Must-haves:

• A Canadian-crafted down duvet, made for warmth, breathability, and snuggles
• Oodles of cushy pillows and cushions
• An electric heated blanket for those extra chilly nights

Comfort as a Craft

When we think of winter hibernation, we envision flannel PJs, fluffy socks, and everything dressed down. So why not dress it up this season? You can still be comfy and get gorgeous with it, making your interior inspire joy while the exterior is doing the opposite!

Must-haves:

• A beautiful Canadian-designed duvet cover and matching pillow shams to make your bed a work of art
• Elegant décor accents to elevate your space
• A quilted layer to add a classic touch in a breathable cotton fabric

The Pleasure of Doing Nothing

In every other season, the schedule’s always full with endless events and activities. Winter is the time to relish the stillness, to look inward and take time for yourself. To take up a craft, to read that series you’ve been eyeing, or to just sit and watch the world go by. You’ll be surprised by how rejuvenated you feel after taking a breath and taking a break.

Must-haves:

• Luxury sheets for those glorious mornings where you’re able to just stay in bed
• A cozy bathrobe for Netflix marathons or reading on the couch 
• Silk hair accessories for spa-like pampering in the comfort of your own home

Stay In, Stay Warm

Though it may be tempting to crank the thermostat during long winter nights, keeping your bedroom cool (15 - 20°C) is key to quality sleep this season. The coziest way to go (and the easiest way to adjust) is to keep the air around you cool, and the covers around you warm. 

Must-haves:

• A toasty winter duvet to bring the heat to your bed
• Organic cotton flannel sheets, made for softness and warmth
• Cozily textured throw blankets that add comfort and depth to your space

Winter has arrived, bringing slower days and softer moments. It’s the season to linger a little longer, and to layer warmth and comfort wherever you can. Find everything you need to stay cozy at QE Home: Explore our winter bedding online or visit one of our 70+ stores across Canada.
