Layer Your Bedding: Pile on an extra blanket or duvet for cozy warmth.
Use a Hot Water Bottle: A classic way to keep your feet warm.
Add Rugs: Warm up your floor with a soft rug underfoot.
Deep Clean: Fresh bedding and clean surfaces make a room more inviting.
Hang a Robe Near Your Bed: Keep warmth nearby for cold winter mornings.
Wear Slippers: They keep your feet warm and your floors clean.
Clean Your Windows: Streak-free natural light lifts your mood in the morning.
Insulate Your Windows: Drafty windows chill your room and waste energy.
Add Scent: Herbal scents like lavender and chamomile can improve your sleep.
Light Candles: Flickering light adds warmth and romance to the bedroom. Just remember to snuff candles out before you go to bed, or use rechargeable LED candles for safety.

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!

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.

I think I have four blankets on my bed.
I used to live in a colder area, and only had a twin bed. There I had four doubled over quilts, and two blankets, for a total of ten layers.
It was cozy. And immobile.
