Turn Your Bedroom into the Ultimate Sleeping Room

We all deserve a comfortable space to sleep in. Whether you’re settling down for eight hours or you’re sneaking a quick afternoon nap, your quality of sleep will be improved by being in the perfect sleeping environment. 

It doesn’t matter whether it’s your bedroom, a guest bedroom or your kid’s room – if it’s a room where slumber takes place there are a few things that you can incorporate into the space which will make it much more sleep-inducing. 

From blackout blinds and luxury linens to a snuggly Australian wool underlay fit for a king, it’s the little things that will turn your bedroom into the ultimate sleeping room. 

Choose Luxury Linens

Have you ever climbed into bed and felt the bobbly bits that seem to appear out of nowhere on inferior sheets? If so, it’s time that you swapped your cheap bed linen for something more expensive.

After all, we spend up to eight hours or more in our beds every day, so we deserve to be lying on cool, smooth sheets. Choose linens with a high thread count for the smoothest feel. 

Sink into a Woollen Underlay

We’ve all heard the fairy story about the princess and the pea, but while it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be finding peas in your bed, you may find that you can feel every lump and bump of your mattress. One way to add an extra layer of cosiness and softness to your bed is with a wool mattress topper. 

Whether you need a single woollen underlay or a queen wool underlay, choose one made from Australian wool for the ultimate in natural comfort.

Choose Window Treatments Wisely

The way you cover your windows is one of the most important things to consider in your room, after your bed. Some of us prefer to sleep in totally dark rooms, while others can’t sleep unless they have a breeze coming in through the window. 

While thick dark curtains or blackout blinds may block out any exterior light, they may not be the ideal solution for anyone who prefers to wake early with light streaming through the window. 

Lower the Lighting

Getting the lighting in the bedroom right will help you to ‘go out like a light’. The lighting you choose should promote relaxation, so dimmer switches are an excellent option. 

You may also want to use nightlights for younger children or bedside lights so that you don’t have to switch on the main lighting if you wake during the night. 

Incorporate Texture 

While minimalist bedrooms may be in fashion, adding texture to your room can lift it from functional to fantastic. Use fur, wool, velvets and other textured fabrics to add softness and a tactile feel to your room. 

And don’t forget to lay a cosy rug by the side of the bed, especially if you have wooden floors. 

Create a Room You Love to Spend Time In

Turning your bedroom into the ultimate sleeping space will help to improve the quality of your slumber and create a haven where you’ll enjoy spending time even when you’re not asleep.
