    35 Cheap Bedroom Upgrades That'll Make You Never Want To Leave Your Room

    Do not disturb us until 2022 please and thank you.

    1. A chair cushion if your room is big enough for one chair and the current one sucks (it me!). Just plop this on top of your desk chair, dining room chair, car seat, etc. and treat your tush to a plush throne.

    2. A string of fairy lights to create a little magic in any dark spaces. Now you have the perfect ambience for a movie night or reading session.

    3. And an ivy garland for interspersing some greenery — which is especially handy as we approach fall and winter. *Cries in seasonal affective disorder*

    4. A rainbow prism suncatcher so your apartment is filled with itty bitty rainbows — no rain needed. So dreamy!

    5. A Shark Tank-approved giant hoodie blanket that'll never leave your body. Who needs friends or contact with the outside world when you're swaddled in its warm embrace?

    6. A memory foam mattress topper because your old mattress is hard as rocks. Add this bad boy on top and instead of feeling lumps and bumps when you turn over, you'll sink into plush memory foam that conforms to your body, as well as temperature-regulating gel beads that help distribute heat so you don't burn up.

    7. A plush double-sided shaggy faux-fur duvet set if your bedroom aesthetic is "snug as a bug in a rug."

    8. A set of two cooling pillows to save you from making hot-headed decisions... like *not* buying them. Inside is a plush gel fiber that provides the ideal level of support to back, stomach, and side sleepers. And they're machine washable as well as stain- and fade-resistant.

    9. A comfy 5.5-foot beanbag floor pillow for times when you just wanna be a slug and lie on the ground.

    10. An essential oil diffuser so your bedroom smells like fresh baked cookies, pumpkin spice, lavender and peppermint, or whatever scent makes you feel coziest.

    11. A huggable Pusheen plushie that'll never leave your bed. I'm a grown woman who definitely slept with at least two stuffed animals on her bed in college and I am 100% OK with that.

    12. A set of breathable, cooling bed sheets because — I kid you not — they have more than 105,000 5-star reviews. Yep, 105 thousand. If your idea of cozy starts and ends with your bed, you need a pair of sheets that won't disappoint you.

    13. A headboard with built-in storage if your room is too small for nightstands or you want to make sure whatever book you're reading is easy to grab. This addition will come in handy, providing space to store your favorite nighttime reads, a diffuser, a reading lamp, and even a small potted plant.

    14. A supportive reading pillow to keep your lower back cushioned while you devour your next novel. You can't start reading if you can't get comfortable.

    15. A soothing hot water bottle for those nights when it's too chilly to even think about leaving your bed. This hot water bottle comes with a knit cozy to protect your skin from any potential burning, plus it doubles as an ice pack.

    16. An artificial eucalyptus wall hanging so your room radiates an aura of calmness, relaxation, peace, and tranquility.

    17. A dual-zone comforter that'll keep the peace in the literal and figurative marital bed. Y'all have been together long enough yet you're still fighting over someone hogging the blankets or turning on the AC overnight even though it's 40 degrees outside? Rookie move!

    18. An aromatherapy candle because you can't go wrong with the classic combo of lavender and sage.

    19. A foldable desk tray if you wanna binge-watch your favorite TV show hands free but you have to prop up your heavy tablet.

    20. A trio of floating shelves to hold your plants (the ones you haven't killed yet), random knickknacks, books, awards, and your favorite photos. Install the triangular brackets in one of three orientations to suit your design style.

    21. A weighted blanket for anyone whose mind races when they're in bed. Using one may increase your serotonin levels because the weight mimics the sensation of being held or hugged. The release of serotonin and oxytocin (often nicknamed the "love hormone") can lower your stress levels and reduce some anxiety, may make it easier for you to drift off. This specific weighted blanket comes with two covers: one that'll keep hot sleepers cool and another that'll retain heat so you're cozy and warm.

    22. A silk eye mask so you can get your beauty sleep no matter how late your roommate has their lamp lit.

    23. A set of blackout curtains that'll 1) block 85% to 99% of light from entering your room, 2) reduce noise, and 3) regulate the temperature so it's cool in the summer and hot in the winter. Prepare for the best sleep of your life!

    24. A pack of light-dimming stickers because bright alarm clocks and flashing electronics shouldn't distract you from sleep.

    The sheets

    25. A set of bed bands if your sheets slip and slide if you even look at them wrong.

    26. A customizable night-light projector with color options and a built-in Bluetooth speaker to bring the chill vibes of a starry sky or ocean waves to your room. If you're struggling to get yourself off your phone and into bed, this just might do the trick.

    27. A memory foam orthopedic knee pillow for help reducing back strain, aligning your spine, promoting better circulation, and alleviating pressure on your knees, especially for side sleepers.

    28. A plush shag rug so your toes won't be met by cold, hard floor when you finally have to abandon your bed for the day.

    29. A lavender-scented linen and pillow mist that'll put your body and mind at ease after a long, stressful day of classes. It doubles as a perfume and body mist, and it's safe to use near animals.

    the spray bottle

    30. A panel of books because they're not actually for reading, but people don't need to know you aren't a bookworm. The books are real, but they're attached to a wood box that can hold the jumble of cords and cables in your bedroom that's a huge vibes-ruining eyesore.

    31. A velvety soft and oh-so snuggly microfiber duvet if your threadbare blankets aren't keeping you warm and cozy enough.

    32. A hanging bed caddy to hold your books, water bottle, phone, glasses, remotes, and whatever else you can fit in it. This will save you many trips up and down the ladder if you're the top bunk.

    33. A three-layer door stopper for blocking out the sounds of annoying roommates while also maintaining the temperature in your room. Installation is easy: simply cut the strip to size and attach it to your door using the built-in adhesive backing.

    34. A humidifier so you can add moisture to the air. This increases hydration to your hair and skin, plus it keeps your nasal passages moist, which has the added benefit of potentially helping prevent congestion. Here's to sleeping through the night *and* being able to breathe.

    35. A super chill pothos that'll add some greenery to your room and is a pretty hardy plant = great for beginners. And it's a vine plant, which means eventually you can hang it in your room and enjoy its leafy green tendrils.
