Sleep is usually the first thing we throw out the window in our everyday routines. We’ll splurge on a 10-step skincare routine, obsess over the perfect morning coffee combo, and deep-dive into every self-help book out there—but when it comes to the one thing that actually keeps us functioning? We just make do.

Fun fact (or slightly alarming one): We spend a third of our lives sleeping. Yet, 1 in 3 people aren’t getting enough of it. And yeah… I was one of them. For way too long.

Until Quince showed up in my bedroom, and completely changed the game.

You Snooze, You Win

Today is World Sleep Day, and while that might not be everyone’s go-to holiday, it’s a great reminder of why quality rest matters. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), sleep is essential for brain function, emotional balance, and overall well-being. 

Here’s why prioritizing sleep hygiene should be on your radar:

  • Sharpens Brain Function – Sleep strengthens memory, enhances learning, and improves decision-making by allowing your brain to form and reinforce neural pathways.
  • Regulates Mood & Stress – Consistent, quality sleep helps maintain emotional stability, reducing stress, anxiety, and irritability while improving resilience to daily challenges.
  • Supports Long-Term Health – Proper rest is crucial for immune function, heart health, and overall physical and mental wellness, reducing the risk of chronic conditions.

And I know sleep hygiene can feel like the last thing you want to add to your plate before the lights turn off, but as it turns out, upgrading your sleep setup is one of the easiest ways to improve sleep hygiene and get those full 8 hours back in line. No fancy red lights, no pre-bed sleepy girl mocktail (thank you Tik Tok) — just some clean, quality bedding that actually makes a difference.

Because let’s be real, the right bedding isn’t just about better sleep—it’s about creating a space that feels good to wake up in. It’s as much about aesthetics as it is about comfort, and Quince nails both. Who’s to say comfort has to be sacrificed for chic-ness? Not Quince. If anything, their bedding has transformed my sleep routine (and my bedroom aesthetic) into something that feels downright intentional.

With their many options, I probably wanted to test out more bedding combos than Goldilocks and the Three Bears combined—except this time, everything felt just right. Whether it was organic cotton, bamboo viscose, or European linen, Quince had bedding fabric for every kind of sleeper. And yes, I spent more time than I’d like to admit debating over which colors to choose (because, let’s be honest, I wanted them all). But in the end, I built two sets: one catering to practicality (read: my boyfriend who overheats at night) and the other indulging my personal taste for earthy neutrals with a little more soul.

It was time. The flimsy Amazon comforter and navy sheets had to go (the girlies who know, know). I wanted something that felt refined but still boy-friendly—elevated without feeling too frilly. Plus, my boyfriend sweats at night…even in the dead of winter. So I had the fun additional challenge of selecting a  fabric that wouldn’t turn my personal human heater into a full-blown furnace.

Ladies and gents, I found the one.

The European Linen Dream Quilt Set in Willowleaf was the perfect choice—light enough for someone who runs warm but substantial enough to feel luxe. Paired with the European Linen Sheet Set in Dusty Blue, it gives off that effortlessly cool, relaxed feel without looking mismatched. And for the final touch, the Cotton Fisherman Throw in Olive—which my boyfriend has now claimed as his own. Can’t blame him, though. The texture is peak cozy, and it somehow maintains its shape with every wash. That being said, if you’re anti-crease, have an iron handy because it is linen after all.

And now for the verdict: My boyfriend, who truly could never be bothered to comment on things like this, called me to say he’s been sleeping better. Not just because his sheets are new and crisp, but because the material nails that perfect balance—lightweight enough that he doesn’t overheat, but not so light that you wake up freezing.

Linen can sometimes have that rough, scratchy feel (which is why it’s usually more of a “look” than a go-to for comfort), but this? This is different. It’s breathable without being stiff, soft without feeling overly delicate, and (most importantly) something we both actually agree on.

For a couple that’s spent far too many nights in a mid-sleep tug-of-war—him kicking the covers off, me pulling them right back on—it’s safe to say we’ve finally found our peace treaty.

Now this second set is all me: the warm terracotta, lightly weighted layers, and just the right amount of contrast to keep me from falling into the millennial beige trap. 

The European Linen Double Embroidered Edge Duvet Cover Set in Sand with Terracotta is soft and elevated, while the Terracotta/White Stripe Linen Sheet Set feels like something straight out of Luca Guadagnino’s “Call Me By Your Name.It’s the kind of summer chic that will have you peeling back your curtains, opening those windows, and listening to Cleo Sol on repeat. But what makes this specific color combo different from the standard neutral is the rich terracotta lining that not only twins with my clay plant pots, but adds an element of coziness. 

Maybe it’s all my Capricorn placements, but I need earthy tones to ground me, and this combo does exactly that. The finishing touch? The Chunky Hand Knit Wool Throw in Neutral, which adds just the right amount of texture to make the whole setup feel like a quiet luxury moment.

For those wondering about quality and upkeep, similar to my boyfriend's set, this combo is wrinkle-prone. But again, it's just the nature of linen. I find that running a quick steam or iron over them straight out of the dryer is the best way to be efficient while making sure they’re straight and pristine for bedtime. Ideally, I could hang dry everything, but I’m a cozy girl and that’s just not my reality.

So, here’s a few tried and true care tips to keep them looking their best:

  • Use a tap cold setting with low-medium spin when washing.
  • Set the dryer to low tumble to avoid excess shrinkage or stiffness.
  • If you want that crisp, hotel-like finish, a quick steam or iron straight out of the dryer does the trick.
  • Oh, and for those of us who are notorious for makeup stains, this is a colorway you’ll definitely want to remember to take your makeup off for.

Linen might take a little extra care, but Quince’s effortless finish makes the not-too-tricky process well worth it.

Moral of the story: Quince has completely changed the game for my sleep setup.

I’ll never take a good night’s rest for granted again. Plus, now that my boyfriend has finally upgraded his sheets and we’ve found quality bedding bundles that feel true to our personalities, it’s safe to say, I’ll definitely be repurchasing from Quince Home. 

And with that, I’ll be celebrating World Sleep Day the only way that makes sense—wrapped in linen layers, “The White Lotus on, and in absolutely no rush to leave my bed.
