Tucking yourself in like a smothered baked potato is the newest way to get a great night\u2019s sleep<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A TikTok trend called the “potato bed” has gone viral as a comfy way of rearranging sheets and pillows to be surrounded and snuggled.<\/p>\n

The first step is to lay out a fitted bedsheet upside down and stuff the perimeter with thick pillows and blankets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

WHAT IS \u2018TOASTED SKIN SYNDROME\u2019? HEATING PADS AND BLANKETS CAN CAUSE SKIN DAMAGE, EXPERTS WARN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Once there\u2019s a solid foundation of fluffy walls, the middle of the nest gets filled with blankets, comforters and any other objects to get cozy. A laptop playing a movie or a good book is recommended.<\/p>\n

TikTok creators have been attempting the trend themselves. One user named Alice (@alicekateea) wrote in the caption of her video that she “had the best night\u2019s sleep ever.”<\/p>\n

“So just an adult-sized baby nest?” one user commented. “No wonder you slept good!”<\/p>\n

Another user wrote, “I\u2019m already a couch potato, now I\u2019m going to be a bed potato too.”<\/p>\n

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Dr. William Lu, medical director of Dreem Health, commented that the potato bed is a “fun, cozy take” on the concept of “cocooning” or creating a nest-like sleep environment.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not surprised it\u2019s catching on,” said the California-based expert. “People are craving comfort, calm and security right now, and the potato bed taps right into that. While it looks playful, it\u2019s really about recreating that snug, safe feeling we associate with deep rest<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

The sensation of being “gently surrounded by pillows and blankets” can mimic the effects of a weighted blanket or being cuddled, according to the sleep expert.<\/p>\n

“That light, even pressure can help lower stress hormones<\/a> like cortisol while boosting serotonin and oxytocin \u2013 chemicals that make you feel relaxed and sleepy,” said Lu.<\/p>\n

“When your body feels secure and your mind feels safe, it\u2019s easier to drift off and stay asleep.”<\/p>\n

Lu did caution that too much warmth may cause disruption to sleep, since the best sleep occurs when the core body temperature drops slightly. Piling on too many layers can “trap heat,” making it harder for the body to cool down, he noted.<\/p>\n

“Also, if you\u2019re surrounding yourself with soft pillows, you might lose proper spinal alignment,” Lu added. “Over time, that can lead to neck or back pain<\/a>. If you wake up feeling sore or sweaty, that\u2019s your sign to scale it back.”<\/p>\n

Lu recommended thinking of the potato bed as a “cozy relaxation ritual” rather than a permanent sleep setup.<\/p>\n

Building a potato bed for a short nap, a wind-down before bed or a warm respite during the colder months are the best options, he said.<\/p>\n

The sleep expert also suggested keeping one lightweight duvet and fewer layers to ensure that the mattress and primary pillow are still providing plenty of support.<\/p>\n

“The goal isn\u2019t to bury yourself in fluff \u2014 it\u2019s to create a comfortable, calming space that helps your body and mind relax before sleep,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
