My Dream Science Mattress Pads from Macy's
There’s nothing like a good night’s sleep after a long, hard day.
The focal point of every bedroom is the bed and I always take special care in all my bedrooms to make sure each one is as comfortable and as beautiful as possible. I invest in excellent quality mattresses and I always use the finest bedding. Up at Skylands, my home in Maine, everyone is busy preparing for my annual summer visit - cleaning every room, washing all the dishes and polishing all the silver, and of course, making all the beds for myself and my guests. This year, I decided it was time to change all the mattress pads. A mattress pad helps protect the mattress from spills, stains, and general wear and tear, but it also provides additional padding and comfort. I use my own Dream Science Waterproof Mattress Pads from my collection exclusively at Macy’s - they’re so comfortable and easy to fit onto any twin, queen or king-sized bed.
Here are some photos of my new mattress pads and some tips for making a bed that is comfortable and luxurious. And don't forget, you can find all your bedding needs from my Martha Stewart Collection at Macy's.
-
- All these mattress pads arrived last week at Skylands. While I am busy packing at my Bedford, New York farm, Cheryl and Gretchen are busy getting everything ready up in Maine – there are many, many beds to make for all my summer guests.
-
- I love these mattress pads from Macy’s. These luxe mattress pads from Dream Science are designed with a super-soft cotton cover and quiet waterproof backing.
-
- From above, one can see the high loft framed baffle-box design.
-
- When buying a mattress pad, always look for the best quality materials, These are made with 100-percent cotton with a thread count of 300. And, it has hypoallergenic polyester fiberfill – perfect for those sensitive to allergens.
-
- I also like to fit my beds with lamb’s wool mattress covers. Look closely and the mattress pad fits perfectly over the cover, keeping everything in place.
-
- These pads fit mattresses up to 22-inches deep, which means it will stay on securely and not ride up because it is too short.
-
- And, it fits snug around the bed – it has strong, long-lasting elasticity all the way around the mattress.
-
- These pads also have excellent coverage – the entire top of the bed is protected with the quilted padding.
-
- This is one of many beds at Skylands – a queen-sized bed in my main house. A regular queen-sized mattress measures 60-inches by 80-inches. Some antique queen mattresses measure 57-inches by 76-inches. The mattress pad fits just right.
-
- Here is the bed all made – it’s so inviting. The pad, along with the cover add softness and comfort, especially for anyone with pressure point pain.
-
- This bedroom is above my stable – it also needs a new mattress pad. When choosing any mattress pad or cover, be sure to use the dimensions of the mattress itself – not the bed frame. The majority of good-quality mattresses have a lifespan between seven and 10 years, but it can last beyond that with good care.
-
- Here is the same bed with the new mattress pad in place – it’s a perfect fit.
-
- And here is the bed all dressed in cheerful pink, red and cream bedding.
-
- In the bedroom next door, white sheets are used instead of pink – I always choose bedding that is comfortable and practical.
-
- This bedroom is in what I call the “dorm” in the main house – there are several bedrooms in this area – perfect for my daughter and her children when they are at Skylands.
-
- Cheryl and Gretchen dressed this bed in bright white. When making the bed, do you make hospital corners? Many like the feel of the tightly tucked in sheets. I like a looser corner with only the sides tucked, so it is easy to pull the sheets up if needed.
-
- Here is a queen-sized bed over my garage – now with its new mattress pad. And don’t forget – it is always recommended to rotate your mattress regularly. Rotating and fluffing will keep it in the best condition.
-
- Another clean, fresh bed. All my sheets are ironed after they are washed. It is a time-consuming chore but makes the bed all the more comfortable. I am fortunate to have my bedding at home changed every couple of days. How often do you change your bedding? I am interested to know. Share your comments below.
