“Here at The Best Bed Linen in the World, we feel that you really can’t underestimate the power of sleep… And you just can’t get enough advice on how to achieve a truly restorative night’s sleep!

So with all these New Year’s resolutions being made (hopefully they haven’t all gone out of the window just yet!) we thought that it might be time to offer up some more tips to help everyone to understand the importance of creating the ideal sleep environment to help improve sleep patterns… This will significantly improve physical and emotional wellbeing and help to maintain a healthy and happy lifestyle.

Creating a relaxing bedroom ambience is essential to ensure that you get the best night’s sleep;

1. Sleep on a well made mattress.

2. Invest in quality bed linen and duvet.

3. Make sure your curtains block out any light and try to eliminate noise.

4. Buy a top quality pillow, carefully selecting the level of firmness and filling. A good pillow should be supportive and hold the head in alignment with the shoulders and spine – the same position as if standing. The pillow should be tucked into the neck and shoulders to ensure the head is fully supported. There is a wide range of pillows available: goose down, duck, down, feather, microfiber, and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit all personal tastes. Pillows are subjective, so choose one that suits your sleep requirements.

Quality Sleep deserves investment because we are entirely dependent on it. With a good night’s sleep we are able to function effectively, feel less stressed and ultimately become a lot happier.

Getting into freshly laundered sheets was recently ranked in the top 3 happiness boosters. This does not surprise me! This experience is one we should be able to retain; by using high quality bed linen, (100% cotton and optimum thread-count) sheets will feel fresher for longer and deliver a more comfortable night’s sleep.”

We’ve got mail…

Well it’s always nice to start the year on a positive note and how much more positive can you get than this absolutely glowing letter from Ms M in Buckinghamshire…

“I never usually go to the lengths of providing purchase feedback but I was so impressed with the quality and professional service I received from The Best Bed Linen in the World that I felt compelled to write to thank you and to recommend the products.

I’d had enough of waking up with a headache from my 2-year old pillow that had lost its plumpness and I’d recently read an article about the importance of sleep for our health and wellbeing, so I felt it was time to invest in a luxury pillow that would provide support and comfort. As it was Christmas (and I felt I’d been a good girl this year!), I bought two Down Surround Pillows and it turns out to have been the best purchase I made in 2011!

Its beautifully soft filling means I can snuggle down into the pillow, whilst it continues to provide support for my neck so I’m not waking up with a stiff neck and headaches anymore. They really are the best pillows I’ve ever had and are worth every penny! I understand they are the same pillows that the 5-star hotels use too. Oh how the other half live!! It’s clear that you really do get what you pay for though.

I can whole-heartedly recommend these pillows for anyone who is after a super-comfy night’s sleep. I’ve actually already ordered six more Down Surround Pillows; another two for my bed and four to replace the pillows in the guest room!”
