UNION, N.J. , March 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- While the pandemic has Americans cloistered in their homes, the bedroom has become the retreat of choice for many. According to the recent "The Way We Nest" study conducted by Bed Bath & Beyond (Nasdaq: BBBY), 80% of Americans surveyed say their bed is their happy place and 76% view the bedroom as their sanctuary. Even as we begin to re-emerge this Spring, it's likely our new-found appreciation for our beds will persist. But let's face it, with so many options available on the market, it can be overwhelming to find the perfect linens for your home—especially if you don't want to spend a lot of time and money. Is a higher thread count really better? Should you opt for cotton percale or sateen? The answer just got a little easier. Enter Nestwell™, an assortment of stylish, cozy and affordable bedding and bath products designed to create oasis spaces in your home--available only at Bed Bath & Beyond beginning March 22. Nestwell offers a range of essential sheets, pillows, blankets, duvets, mattress toppers, bath towels and bath accessories that make it easy to bring that comfy, cozy feeling to your everyday routine.

As part of the launch and informed by the "The Way We Nest" study, Bed Bath & Beyond has created the "Nestwell to Rest Well" guide. The guide begins with an online quiz to help you identify your nesting archetype and find products that best suit your sleeping style. It also includes design tips for styling your bed by interior designers at Decorist, as well as advice from renowned sleep wellness expert, Dr. Shelby Harris .

"Nestwell is a solutions-oriented brand that takes the guesswork out of everyday bedding and bath products," said Joe Hartsig , Executive Vice President and Chief Merchandising Officer at Bed Bath & Beyond. "It provides smart solutions built to withstand the demands of day-to-day use and fit perfectly into the everyday home. Nestwell will include a broad range of bedding and bath products that bring that cozy feeling to our customers' routines and make beds easy to make and hard to leave. In the spirit of making it easy for our customers, our 'Nestwell to Rest Well Guide' is a useful tool to help consumers find their perfect sleep solutions."

Solutions and solace are two key words in these pandemic-times. Bed Bath & Beyond's study went on to reveal that 83% of Americans surveyed feel that changing their bedding style during the pandemic has made them feel happier in their personal environment and 80% reported feeling calmer. Of those who changed their bedding style during the pandemic, 76% surveyed say it helped them sleep better. The new Nestwell brand is an ideal gateway to creating that sumptuous sanctuary at home.

Nestwell helps you build a nest perfectly suited to your unique preferences, ultimately leading to a better night's rest. And sleep wellness is a known contributor to a healthy lifestyle.

Nestwell to Rest Well Guide and "The Way We Nest" Study

Bed Bath & Beyond knows comfort goes beyond matching your bedding to the color of your walls; for us, it's all about sleep happy fabrics that provide everyday comfort. As many people struggle to find bedding that best suits their needs, we launched "The Way We Nest" study to better understand American's current nesting habits at home. What we learned is that 71% of Americans surveyed say climbing into bed is their favorite part of their day. Other findings include:

79% of Americans surveyed agree it's more satisfying to crawl into a made bed than an unmade bed
58% of Americans surveyed report making their bed everyday
Half (50%) of daily bed-makers surveyed describe themselves as productive, compared to a quarter (24%) of people who rarely/never make their bed

"Everybody sleeps differently, so creating your perfect nest can be a very personal experience," said Dr. Harris.

From Bed Bath & Beyond's research the "Nestwell to Rest Well Guide" was born, an online quiz that helps customers identify their nesting preference, sleep habits and rituals to inform their nesting archetype and product preferences. The four archetypes are:

The Coziest

Loves sleeping under layers of blankets and pillows.

The Naturalist

Prefers to sleep in organic, natural or hypo-allergenic bedding.

The Trendsetter

Can spend all day in bed with cozy and on-trend layers that change by season.

The Functionalist

Likes to keep it simple, prefers simple layers and an unfussy bed, without decorative throw pillows

Once you've identified your nesting archetype, Bed Bath & Beyond design partner Decorist delivers design tips and product recommendations to rest well and sleep happier. Visit this link to take the quiz: https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/our-brands/nestwell-quiz
