January always feels like a deep breath. After the flurry of holidays—the shopping, the hosting, the endless to-do lists—the New Year arrives as a quiet invitation to reset. It’s a moment to look at our surroundings and decide how we want to feel for the next twelve months. And for many of us, the goal is simple: comfort.
There is perhaps no better place to start this process than the bedroom. It’s your sanctuary, the first thing you see when you wake up and the last place you unwind. Yet, during winter, even the coziest room can feel stark if the floors are cold and bare.
Stepping out of a warm bed onto an icy floor is a shock to the system that nobody enjoys. That’s why we are thrilled to announce our New Year Comfort Sale. We’ve curated a collection of our softest, warmest, and most stylish bedroom rugs, all at exclusive prices to help you build a softer landing for the year ahead.
Why Bedroom Rugs Are Essential for a Comfortable New Year
It is easy to overlook flooring when we think about comfort. We pile on blankets and buy fluffy pillows, but the ground beneath our feet plays a massive role in the temperature and atmosphere of a room.
Warmth on Cold Winter Mornings
The most immediate benefit of a bedroom rug is insulation. Hardwood and tile floors are beautiful, but they don’t hold heat. A quality rug acts as a barrier, trapping warmth and preventing drafts from rising through the floorboards. That first step out of bed sets the tone for your morning—making it soft and warm can make those early January starts much more bearable.
Improved Comfort and Relaxation
Beyond temperature, texture matters. There is a psychological shift that happens when a room feels soft. A plush rug adds a layer of tactile comfort that encourages relaxation. It dampens sound, reducing the echo in the room and creating a quieter, more peaceful environment where you can truly rest.
Creates a Calm, Clutter-Free Space
Visual noise is just as stressful as auditory noise. A well-chosen rug anchors the room, pulling together furniture and decor into a cohesive look. It defines the sleeping area, making the room feel grounded and intentional rather than cluttered or disjointed.
Supports Better Rest and Well-being
Your environment directly impacts your sleep hygiene. A room that feels cold or uninviting can make it harder to wind down. By increasing the “cozy factor” with a rug, you are signaling to your brain that this space is safe, warm, and ready for sleep.
Best Bedroom Rugs to Shop in the New Year Comfort Sale
Not all rugs are created equal, especially when it comes to the bedroom. During our sale, we are highlighting textures and materials specifically chosen for their ability to comfort and soothe.
Plush & Soft Rugs for Ultimate Comfort
If your priority is luxury, look for high-pile or shag rugs. These offer a “sink-in” feeling that is unbeatable on chilly mornings. Synthetic blends often provide incredible softness and durability, making them a practical yet indulgent choice for the side of the bed.
Wool Rugs for Natural Warmth
Wool is nature’s insulator. A wool rug is an investment in long-term comfort because the fibers naturally regulate temperature—keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. They are also incredibly resilient, springing back even after years of foot traffic.
Neutral & Minimal Rugs for a Fresh Start
The New Year often brings a desire for a clean slate. Neutral rugs in shades of cream, grey, or beige can brighten a room and make it feel larger. They provide a calm foundation that allows you to easily swap out bedding or wall art as the seasons change, without clashing with your floor covering.
How to Style Bedroom Rugs for the New Year
Once you’ve chosen the perfect rug from the sale, placement is key to maximizing both style and comfort.
Placement Under the Bed
The most popular layout creates a frame around your sleeping area. Place a large rug horizontally under the bed. Ideally, the rug should extend 18 to 24 inches on the sides and the foot of the bed. This ensures that no matter where you step off, you land on fabric.
Runners Beside the Bed
If you have a smaller room or don’t want to lift a heavy mattress, runners are a fantastic alternative. Placing a runner on each side of the bed gives you that warm landing spot without the commitment of a large area rug.
Layering Rugs for Extra Warmth
For a trendy, bohemian look that offers double the warmth, try layering. Start with a large, flat-weave natural fiber rug (like jute) as a base, and layer a smaller, plush sheepskin or faux fur rug on top. This adds depth, texture, and serious coziness.
Coordinating Rug Colors with Bedding
You don’t need to match perfectly, but your rug and bedding should speak the same language. If your duvet has a busy pattern, opt for a solid-colored rug from our sale to balance the room. Conversely, if your bedding is solid white or grey, a rug with a subtle pattern can add necessary interest and warmth.

- The Perfect Upgrade: Before work routines and school schedules ramp back up to full speed, take this opportunity to finish your home projects.
Choosing the Right Rug Size for Your Bedroom
One of the most common mistakes people make is buying a rug that is too small for their space. A “postage stamp” rug can make a room look disjointed and smaller than it actually is.
- King Bed: You will generally need an 8×10 or 9×12 rug to properly frame a King-sized bed.
- Queen Bed: An 8×10 rug is usually perfect, though a 6×9 can work in smaller rooms if you position it closer to the foot of the bed.
- Twin/Full Bed: A 5×8 rug fits well, or you can utilize runners on the sides.
Layout Tip: In a large bedroom, leave at least 8 inches of visible floor space between the rug and the walls. In a smaller room, you can go closer to the wall, but try to avoid the “wall-to-wall” carpet look unless that is your specific goal.
Care Tips to Keep Bedroom Rugs Fresh All Year
To ensure your fresh start lasts all year, a little maintenance goes a long way.
- Vacuum Regularly: Even in the bedroom, dust accumulates. Regular vacuuming prevents dirt from getting ground into the fibers.
- Rotate Often: To avoid uneven wear patterns from where you step out of bed every day, rotate your rug 180 degrees every six months.
- Spot Clean Immediately: Accidents happen—morning coffee spills or pet mishaps. Blot (don’t rub!) spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent staining.
Begin the Year with Comfort & Style
As we settle into the New Year, small changes can make a significant impact on our daily happiness. Upgrading your bedroom with a soft, warm rug is a simple act of self-care that pays dividends every single morning and night.
