Spring cleaning season is here, and for Alex Drummond, that means one simple habit is making all the difference: making the bed every morning.

Now that she's almost three months postpartum, Alex is easing back into her routine and trying to feel "like fully functioning human again." And while newborn life can be unpredictable, this one small change is helping. "Feels small, but starts the day on the right note," she explained. "And makes me feel less inclined to crawl back into bed later in the day."

Of course, it helps when your bedding is as dreamy as Alex's. She's still loving the Boll & Branch set she said was the "best decision" buying last fall. "We've had it for over a year and are obsessed with all their bedding," Alex said. "So worth the splurge."

The brand is known for its ultra-soft 100% organic cotton fabric, which gets even softer with every wash. Along with duvet sets, they offer sheet sets, blankets, pillows, and more in a range of colors and textures—including the waffle blanket, which Alex swears by for keeping their bed looking fresh.

"This is why we love the waffle blanket so much," she shared, posting a photo of George happily stretched out on their bed. "Keeps hair and stains off our duvet set and it's so easy to throw in the wash."

If you're in the market for new bedding, now's the time to upgrade. Between the Signature Duvet Set, luxe sheet bundles, and cozy blankets, there are plenty of ways to refresh your bedroom (and feel a little more put together in the process). The Signature Duvet Set that Alex has comes with one duvet cover and two pillow shams, all made with the same organic long-staple cotton that provides excellent durability. Everything is machine washable and comes in sizes twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California king. You can also add a duvet insert (either down or a down alternative) to your order if you don't already have one.

And while the price of a set certainly makes it an investment, the brand does offer a 30-day free trial, free shipping over $100, and complimentary returns if you aren't satisfied.

With that in mind, here's a few more of Boll and Branch's add-ons for you to consider as well.
