TGIF! This Friday specifically. Friday, August 10th is National Lazy Day: the perfect excuse to kick back, take a load off and…and…zzzzzzzz… Whoops! Sorry, it’s hard not to doze off on a day this lazy! Having a great mattress—like one of our incredible options from Simmons—certainly helps too.
So, if you’ve been working hard and really need a lazy day, we’ve got you covered. From our great mattress options in-store, to these tips on how to stay cozy all day on this special holiday, let us help you get the most out of your lazy day!
Stay in Bed
Staying in bed all day shouldn’t be reserved for getting sick! Sometimes we just need to rest and recharge, and nothing helps reset the body and mind quite like staying horizontal. All. Day. Long. So don’t take off those pajamas—turn around and crawl right back into bed, quick!
Of course, to really enjoy a day in bed without hurting your back, you’ll need a great, supportive mattress. To maximize your Lazy Day, make sure you’re sleeping on a mattress from Simmons. Simmons has been a leader in mattress technology for over a century, and with customizable firmness and precision support for sore muscles, they’re still the name of the game when it comes to bedtime comfort.
Pile on the Pillows
Or thick blankets. Or both! Set aside ideas like “making the bed” and “lying down the right way.” Those have no place here on Lazy Day! Transform your bed into an absolute nest of comfort and disappear into the touchable softness of thick, woven blankets and cushy pillows. That way you can lie any direction you want and still be comfortable.
Don’t forget to throw on a few Simmons pillows to match your mattress! Simmons pillows are the ultimate in relaxation, and some models even have ventilated memory foam, for both cooling action and unbeatable squish.
Grab a Warm Drink
It might not be fall quite yet, but you can still get the feeling of those cozy autumn afternoons with a warm drink and a pile of pillows all around you. Grab your favorite mug and indulge in a generous serving of coffee, tea, hot cocoa, or heck, even mulled wine if you’re feeling ambitious. Which you shouldn’t be—this is your day off, remember? Brew up a big pot of whatever you’re making so you can go for refills anytime!
Stock Up on Snacks
You’ll need to eat at some point, but you don’t want to ruin your Lazy Day with a night of sticky, messy cooking! Instead, stock your room full of snacks and munch throughout the day. Peanut butter and bananas are a tasty and satisfying snack that will hold you over easily until dinner time. Speaking of which, this is also great day for a meal that’s the epitome of laziness—ramen. Delicious and simple, packaged ramen is the perfect meal for your lazy day. You can make it right from bed too, with the help of an electric kettle and a big bowl!
Start a Binge Sesh
Get into a new TV show! Like, really into it. Netflix has some incredible, bingeable shows you can waste a whole day (or even a whole weekend) powering through. For sci-fi thrills and all the 80’s aesthetics you could dream of, binge both seasons of “Stranger Things.” Or, you could follow the downward spiral of everyone’s favorite drug lord, Walter White, with a rewatch of “Breaking Bad.”
If laughs are more your thing, you can’t go wrong with the hilarious Netflix original “Nailed It!,” where amateur bakers fail miserably at recreating incredible desserts. No matter what you choose, a good bingewatch is always a surefire way to zone out and pack in some serious laziness.
So, stock up, settle down, and get ready to recharge this Lazy Day! With your cushy Simmons mattress at the ready and your TV all warmed up, you’re in for a day full of total coziness and complete relaxation. Put away work worries and daily to-dos and just enjoy your day—you deserve it!
