We all spend approximately one-third of our lives sleeping. Although some of the reasons we have to sleep that long may still be somewhat of a mystery, we do know that during sleep some vital processes are going on. Our bodies, worn down from hard and stressed-out days, need this critical time to reset, refresh and rejuvenate. During dreamland, our bodily systems make repairs and our immune system is recharged too. The quality of our sleep plays a big role in our overall health and well-being.
If you are looking for the best possible sleep experience, you will want to consider a couple of factors. First, you will want to create a tranquil and peaceful environment in your bedroom. Eliminate clutter, choose soothing colours and consider adding sleep-enhancing aromatherapy oils to the mix. Next, you will want to pick the very best bedding so you can sleep in luxurious comfort all night long. Once you have invested in the best quality bedding, it’s important that you take the time to clean and protect it.
Keep Your Doona Feeling Like New
When you buy quilts online, you will be able to source a high quality 100% Australian wool doona at factory-direct, affordable pricing. You will also be able to choose between machine washable and dry clean only options. If you anticipate that your doona might need more frequent cleaning due to spills or mishaps, go with the machine washable option.
Some products can be spot cleaned using wool wash with water, but they must be dried immediately. You’ll also be able to freshen them using diluted lavender and lemongrass oil, followed by several hours in the sun.
Cleaning and Freshening Your Sheets
There is a fine line when it comes to how often you wash your sheets. While clean sheets feel great and are incredibly welcoming at the end of a long day, overly frequent washing can break down the fibres more quickly.
If you put sheet sets in the closet awaiting the next seasonal switch, you may find that they come out of storage smelling musty. This is especially true if there was any moisture in the sheets at all. Making sure the sheets are totally dry and adding some lavender can help.
Clean and Maintain Your Pillows Too
You can extend the life of your pillows if you add a zippered pillow protector over the pillow and under the pillowcase. This is helpful because it protects your pillows from hair, body oils and allergens.
Pillows should also be washed twice a year, and be sure to wash the pillow protectors once a month.
