Bedding - Pillows, Duvets and Fitted Sheets

We spend a third of our day in bed, and while it may not seem like a big deal, your bed is a major factor in the quality of your sleep. Bedding is an easy way to improve your sleep, and choosing the right bedding is an important first step. But there are a lot of choices out there, what do you need to know to make the right decision? Here are a few things I learned about choosing bedding.

What to consider when choosing bedding

Comfort matters, but your mattress can affect your comfort significantly. So is your mattress: Warm? Cold? The size of the mattress matters. Too soft and you won't be able to roll over easily, too firm and it may hurt your back. Don't settle for any mattress, but be aware that all mattresses will lose their firmness and shrink over time. Too soft and it's just uncomfortable. Too firm and it may keep you from rolling over easily. Comfortable and soft with great support is ideal, and even a few deep breaths before getting in can help you fall asleep. Keep in mind that some pillows can make or break the comfort level on your bed.

What are the different types of bedding?

There are a few different types of bedding, here is an overview of some of them. Protectors come in the form of both mattress protectors and pillow protectors and their purpose is to protect the contents of the product. Ideal for those looking to increase the lifespan of a product. It should be noted that protectors are often a requirement of validating warranty options against mattresses. After protectors, there's toppers. a Topper can be used to soften a mattress and add an extra degree of bounce and comfort. Finally you have the likes of pillows, sheets and duvets which all sit on top of the mattress to warm and support you. We've picked out some of our best ones below.
