Snuggle up under comforting, cold-weather bedding from Silk & Snow, Brooklinen, Kotn, and more.

When the sun stays asleep long after your alarm clocks start blaring and sets before the work day lets out, there’s a coast-to-coast siren song that beckons Canadians back under the covers for a season of coziness. It’s the time of year when it is socially acceptable to snack, work, and snooze from the comfort of your bed at any time of day, unburdened by the guilt of making any plans outside of catching up on TV shows or plowing through your reading list.

It’s hard to hibernate in peace when you can’t shake the chill of the outdoors or your blankets are too scratchy to snuggle into, and investing in an upgraded set of bed linens can be the difference between surviving and thriving this winter. Whether you need a luxuriously plushy throw, heavy-duty electric blanket or a set of warm but breathable sheets, these picks will turn your bed into a sleepy sanctuary all season long.
