A great way to warm up a bedroom is to invite your pet kitty or doggy to join you in bed.

Have you seen those LED lit candles? They are fantastic - usually scented and take 2 AA batteries. Perfect for the bedroom because you don't have to worry about blowing them out but you still get the ambiance...and a little scent!
flannel sheets I am loving them and as always my best dog in the world.
Ooo, what is that rug made of? Looks like maybe felt or leather?
I do a combination of all tips mentioned above plus one SO and two kitties added for extra cozyness.
Fannel sheets are great as flannel pjs are. There are some wearable designs out there, that keep you warm in winter. Some of my friends do also wear bed socks.

It was cozy. And immobile.
My dogs and boyfriend, plus flannel sheets. Also a portable space heater.
Running your ceiling fan in reverse in your apartment/bedroom can keep you more comfortable in winter weather. Since hot air rises, your ceiling fan can push that warmer air back down onto you. (If it’s in reverse, you’ll see the blades going counterclockwise when you look up at it.)
