The holidays are just around the corner! Can you feel it — that magic in the air, the craving for hot cocoa, and the deep, deep need to get cozy? We at Bedsure love this season, so we decided to kick it off in the best way imaginable. We packed our coziest items and headed to the beautiful mountain town of Stowe, Vermont, for the annual CBC Holiday House event.
It was an intimate, multi-day retreat where we hosted 19 of the most influential lifestyle and consumer editors in the country. We're talking about the amazing people from magazines and websites like Vogue, Architectural Digest, PEOPLE, and Good Housekeeping. Want to see what happens when top editors meet ultimate comfort? Let's see what went down at the coziest event of the season!
A Cozy Holiday Trivia Night with Bedsure
We wanted to create a moment that was pure holiday magic. So, what did we do? We hosted the ultimate Holiday Trivia Night!
It was exactly as cozy as it sounds. Everyone was gathered together, already changed into their comfy PJs, and completely wrapped up in our softest throw blankets.
To set the mood, we made sure the room was a true comfort overload. We're talking cloud-like pillows piled high, with our plushest fleece and sherpa textures everywhere you looked. And because it's not a holiday party without treats, we set up a full-on hot cocoa bar—yes, with all the marshmallows and whipped cream, of course!—and a table loaded with festive sweet and savory snacks.
Soon, the room was just buzzing with warmth, laughter, and the perfect amount of friendly competition.
It was so nice to see all the editors genuinely relax, connect with each other, and just soak up the holiday spirit. It was the perfect reminder that for us, Bedsure is about so much more than products. We're about helping you create those warm, happy memories that last.
And honestly, what better way is there to do that than with a fun game and a truly great blanket?
Highlighting Key Bedsure Products for the Holidays
Of course, the editors didn't just see our products. They got the full Bedsure experience!
Throughout the trip, their rooms were outfitted with our coziest bedding. They spent their nights wrapped in our sheets and snuggled up with our blankets. It's one thing to talk about comfort, but it's another to live in it.
This hands-on approach let them feel the quality for themselves. Here are some of the holiday-ready favorites, just like the ones our new editor friends enjoyed:
- GentleSoft® Bubble Faux Fur Blanket: This is a dream for winter snuggles! It's an incredibly plush faux fur blanket that feels just as silky-smooth and elegant as the real thing (but 100% cruelty-free). It's perfect for wrapping up in or just making your sofa look extra inviting. And yes, it's machine-washable!
- GentleSoft® Blanket: We call this one pure softness. We spent over 1,000 hours perfecting the fiber blend to make it incredibly smooth and durable. It's even prewashed three times so it arrives at your door feeling silky, lint-free, and ready for a nap. It's a classic blanket for a reason.
- GentleSoft® Sherpa Fleece Blanket: This is a Good Housekeeping award-winner and a true fan-favorite! It's the best of both worlds: one side is velvety fleece, and the other is fluffy, warm sherpa. It's the perfect two-in-one throw blanket for year-round comfort, whether you're on the couch or need an extra layer.
- GentleSoft® Satin Sheet Set: When talking about luxury, these certified sheets feel just as buttery-soft and elegant as expensive silk. They're a secret weapon for "beauty sleep," helping to reduce skin irritation and prevent those morning face creases and hair tangles. It's the perfect way to make your whole bed feel like a treat.
- GentleSoft® Solid Satin Pillowcase: Want to wake up refreshed? This satin pillowcase is the key. Its premium, smooth texture is a total game-changer for your hair and skin, helping to stop breakage and sleep lines. Plus, the beautiful, fade-resistant colors are such an easy way to add a pop of style to your bedroom.
Real Feedback from Influential Editors
But you don't have to take our word for it! Hearing what these professional editors actually thought was the best part of the trip. After sleeping on our bedding and cuddling with our blankets, the feedback was amazing.
✨ Kaitlin Cubria, a Deputy Editor from Bustle, told us, "Sitting around in comfy pjs and blankets while playing trivia with everyone in the house was so fun."
✨ We also loved that the editors knew this was more than just fun, but was a real test. As Emily Weaver, a Contributor for PEOPLE, put it, she "...really appreciated that our beds were fitted with Bedsure sheets and comforters, so we were able to test the products in real time."
So, what was the verdict on that real-time test?
✨ Becca Glasser-Baker, a Contributor at BuzzFeed, kept it short and sweet: "I slept great! This was a perfect opportunity to try out the brand."
✨ When it came to specific products, the editors definitely picked favorites. Jennifer Ferrise, a Special Projects Editor at Forbes Vetted, commented on her bedding, noting, "The waffle duvet cover was extremely comfy and felt really high quality compared to others I've tried."
✨ And of course, the blankets were a huge hit. Madison Yauger, a Shopping Editor at PEOPLE, said, "The blankets were so soft. The faux fur was definitely my favorite to snuggle up with."
✨ We were especially thrilled to hear from Cat Bowen, a Senior Commerce Editor at Best Products, who confirmed what we've always aimed for: "...Unlike other throw blankets, these ones last – and feel good even after washing."
✨ Quinn Fish, another Senior Lifestyle Editor at The Kitchn and Apartment Therapy, summed up everyone's feelings: "Obsessed with the throw blankets. I want my whole apartment to be filled with them."
We're working on it, Quinn!
