I've stayed at a good number of Four Seasons properties around the world at this point, and the beds are always the first thing I notice, genuinely comfortable, great pillows, every single time. So I was excited to find out their beds are now available to buy online, for the first time ever, meaning you can actually have one at home. You spend a third of your life in bed, might as well make it a good one.

These also make genuinely good gifts, housewarming, a host gift, newlyweds setting up a home together, or just marking something new. You can browse the full collection here.

The Signature Four Seasons Mattress comes in five sizes with a choice of three foundation heights, plus optional toppers and bed frames. Bedding includes 100% Supima cotton sateen linens, duvets, and pillows, sold as a set or individually. Here's what we actually have: the Signature Mattress (Queen, 5.5" foundation), Sheet Set, Duvet Cover Set, Euro Sham Set, All Seasons Duvet, Down & Feather Pillows (Queen), and Down & Feather Euro Pillows.

Beyond just sleeping well, here are a few other ways to actually unwind.

Light a cleansing herb, palo santo, or candle

I picked up a few cleansing herbs at a local shop with some friends recently, and I love both the smoky scent and the ritual itself, clearing out the home after a long week. Palo santo specifically reminds me of savasana at the end of a good yoga session. Lighting a scented candle is its own thing I reach for whenever I need to feel calmer.

A few favorites: Dada and Salta from Cire Trudon, Woods and Carousel from Byredo, Gardener and Cedar Stack from Boy Smells, Feu de Bois from Diptyque, Palo Santo 14 and Santal 26 from Le Labo, and Neroli and Stem from Malin + Goetz.

Sit down with a good book

I buy books constantly, a great review, a friend's recommendation, whatever gets me, and the stack in queue has gotten genuinely out of control at this point. But there's nothing quite like an afternoon fully absorbed in a good storyline. I keep my reading list on Goodreads.

Indulge in some snacks

Snacking is a real weakness of mine, and my husband's too. It actually helps me concentrate sometimes, and I especially love crunching on popcorn, specifically Korean popcorn snacks.

Relax with a cup of tea

Coffee and/or matcha handle my mornings, but tea runs through the rest of the day, every day. Green is my go-to, though for evenings when I want less caffeine, herbal tea, pumpkin, or soba-cha work well. I usually get tea from Japanese supermarkets like Sunrise Mart, or stock up on Osulloc whenever I'm in Korea, though you can also get it on Amazon now. Outside of those, Aveda Comforting Tea is a real favorite, and it lives up to its name.

Play music, or an instrument

Playing music around the apartment, iTunes Radio, whatever, especially on weekends, genuinely makes me happy. But this time I went the traditional route and pulled out my flute for old time's sake. I grew up playing music seriously, so it's a real, personal connection for me, not just background noise.

Browse the explore page

Beyond just scrolling my own feed on Instagram, I like going through the explore page too, it's a good way to stumble onto new content and fresh inspiration.

Catch up on zzz’s with an afternoon nap

Sometimes you need a vacation from your vacation, a rest from resting. I'm not really a nap person, but every so often you just have to let your body sleep when it's actually asking for it.

Find balance, literally and figuratively

Meditation is genuinely hard for me, my mind stays full and wanders constantly, but I still think it matters to give yourself a few minutes to clear your head. I got an Apple Watch recently, and the Breathe app has been good about reminding me to actually stop and breathe throughout the day. Yoga has helped a lot too, I've learned the Ujjayi breath, which calms the mind and warms the body: fill your lungs completely, then breathe out through your nose. Just paying attention to your breath like that does more than you'd expect.

Rest actually matters, mentally, physically, all of it, and slowing down enough to remember that is worth celebrating on its own.
