Australian Bedroom Trends

 When we think of our house or apartment, it seems that we often spend a lot of time focusing on the décor in our living areas. We want the place we relax and entertain to be welcoming, and to reflect the latest trends. Yet this focus on the living area often leads us to overlook one of the most important rooms in our house. Our bedrooms are vitally important to our well-being, and the quality of our sleep has powerful effects on our overall health and longevity.

Being able to get a great night’s sleep is even more important given the state of our modern world. After all of the demands of the day, we need to be able to enter a place of luxury and comfort and leave the cares of the world behind. We need to shed the anxiety and stress of the day, let go of the emails and social media feeds and let our minds and body feel peace and tranquility. When our bedroom is a sanctuary, we will be able to get a wonderful night’s sleep and we’ll be well rested and ready to face the next day.

Upgrade Your Bedding to a 5 Star Experience

One of the best ways to transform your bedroom from ordinary to extraordinary is to upgrade your bedding to a 5-star hotel-like experience. A top quality, 100% Australian washable wool quilt will bring a touch of luxury to your nighttime sleeping experience.

When you shop for your washable wool quilt online, you’ll be able to save lots of money by buying direct from the manufacturer. With factory direct pricing, you’ll be able to experience luxury bedding at an affordable price. You’ll also get a generous 45-day moneyback guarantee and a five-year warranty too.

Dress Up Your Bedroom with Vibrant Colours

Often times we’ve been told to we should only use muted colours and patterns when decorating a bedroom. One of the hot new trends, though, is to jazz up your bedroom with vibrant colours and bold patterns.

You can make a colour statement with a rug, artwork or other design elements. Let your bedroom reflect your bright, personal style. If you have a smaller bedroom, though, you will want to be sure that the patterns or colours don’t overwhelm the smaller space.

Bespoke Bed Frame

Instead of a standard bed frame that does nothing to dress up the room, why not make an artistic statement and invest in a bespoke bed frame. The bed is the centerpiece of the room, so shop for a sculpted bed frame, or an upholstered headboard or even a true one-of-a-kind, artistic piece.

If you opt for a bespoke bed frame centerpiece, you’ll want to keep the cover of the quilt and other bedding accessories more neutral.

Tips for Buying the Best Bedding

With all of the hard work we do, we deserve pampering and a touch of luxury. Every day, we wake up to the blaring sound of an alarm, startled out of sleep and summoned to start our hectic day. There's no leisurely breakfast during the week, as we have to scramble to get the kids off to school and then hustle off to work. During our work day, we get stressed by endless projects, a deluge of emails and our non-understanding boss.

At quitting time, you'd think we would get a break. But there are errands to run, kids to pick up and dinner to get on the table. The evening might be time for relaxation, but with after dinner dishes and questions about the kid's homework there's no rest either way. Late in the evening, when it's time to turn in for the night, we finally have a chance to take a breath and relax. It's time for a beautiful night's sleep, and the comfort that comes from being surrounded by beautiful high-end bedding.

Buy Luxury Bedding at an Affordable Price

If you've ever stayed in a luxury hotel, you'll remember the feeling of a taking a shower or bath and then slipping into one of those wonderful, fluffy white hotel robes. Those same 5 star hotels provide luxurious bedding so you have a spa-like experience when you are sleeping too.

You can create your own nightly luxury experience when you source the best bedding. By buying direct from the manufacturer, you can get a top of the line wool queen size doona at an affordable price.

Select All Natural Hypoallergenic Bedding

A third of your life will be spent sleeping, so it's important to surround yourself with all natural hypoallergenic bedding. When you choose a new wool queen size doona with a Woolmark certification, you'll be sure your getting the natural quality you desire.

Wool contains lanolin, which is a natural dust mite repellent. Eliminating dust mites is a real plus since they are a prime trigger for allergies and asthma sufferers.

Choose a Company That Stands Behind Their Products

When you are buying top quality bedding, you'll want to make sure that you are purchasing from a company that believes in and stands behind their products. The first thing you'll want to look for is if they offer a 100% money back guarantee, covering 30 or 45 days.

It's also a good idea to see if their products are covered by an extended warranty. A 5 year warranty will show you that they offer quality products designed to last.

 

Feeling Uncomfortable During the Night? Invest in Wool

Do you struggle with your sleep? Do you find it hard to get comfortable and find yourself tossing and turning throughout the night? If so, you are not alone, and you do not have to suffer.

While many of us can underestimate the importance of putting time and effort into choosing your choice of bedding, it can make all the difference to you getting a comfortable and restful night’s sleep.

A wool quilt can change the way you sleep. If you want to find out more, keep reading.

Regulate your temperature

One of the reasons for poor sleep could be that you find yourself getting too hot or cold during the night. On a cold winter’s night, there is nothing better than getting into a warm and cosy bed.

However, if your bedding is made from synthetic fibres, it can cause you to overheat, which may result in you sweating and feeling uncomfortable. Halcyon Dreams has the answer: wool.

Wool is temperature regulating, which means that it keeps you at the right temperature. Should you sweat, the wool will wick away any additional moisture, keeping you cool and comfortable. Did you know wool can retain up to 30% of its body weight in moisture and only releases it when the conditions are dry enough?

Of course, it also works the other way around. Should you often feel the cold, wool will keep you warm and cosy, so that is one more thing off your mind.

It keeps allergies at bay

For those who suffer from allergies, the type of bedding you choose is imperative to how you sleep at night. Wool quilts are naturally resistant to dust mites, which can help to keep your allergies at bay. You can look forward to a peaceful night’s sleep without any sneezing or sniffling. Your partner will thank you for that as well!

Wool is natural

As a natural material, wool is gentle next to your skin. If environmental factors are important to you, it is good to know that you are choosing a sustainable option.

Wool is durable, and you can expect to enjoy your wool quilt for many years to come. When it does eventually reach the end of its life, it can naturally be broken down by the earth in a way that synthetic fibres cannot.

Find your wool bedding at Halcyon Dreams

If you want to have better sleep, choose wool for your bedding, and you will not look back. At Halcyon Dreams, we can supply all your wool bedding, and as our wool is 100% Australian, you can be sure of its quality.

You can also feel good knowing that you are supporting the local economy and Australian farmers. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Love Wool? Choose Australian Wool for Your Quilt

 

Wool is one of those natural fibres that we keep coming back to time and time again. Whether you love to wear wool or snuggle up in a cosy bed with your wool bedding, wool can provide you with the ultimate answer to your comfort.

Here at Halcyon Dreams, our wool products are 100% Australian, so if you are looking for a new wool quilt, pillow or underlay, you can shop with us with complete confidence.

Buying an Australian wool underlay or other bedding also means that your products do not have to travel across the world to get to you. With less transportation needed, it is better news for the environment.

Why do we think wool is wonderful?

Imagine having a product that you know is going to last and will not cause further harm to the environment? Wool is the answer.

You can look forward to your wool doona lasting you for years. Even when it does reach the end of its life, it does not have to spend hundreds of years in a landfill, clogging up the earth and causing pollution. As wool is a natural material, it is broken down by the earth, so you can feel good knowing that your purchase is not going to contribute to your carbon footprint.

Nowadays, there is also a huge emphasis on buying sustainably and buying less so that we can all do our part to protect the environment. Investing in quality bedding helps you to achieve this.

5 Simple Ways to Get Your Bedroom Spring Ready

 

Spring has heralded its arrival and we can’t wait to get back outdoors again but spare a thought for your home. It’s been the place of safety and comfort, especially as we’ve all been spending more time there over the last few months due to the Pandemic. So now it’s time to give it a bit of special attention and a traditional spring clean. If you’re not ready to tackle the whole house, let’s start with the bedroom! We show you five simple ways to get your bedroom spring-ready without breaking the bank.

Spruce up the Walls

An easy way to make your bedroom feel brighter and lighter is with a fresh coat of paint, particularly on the woodwork. If your budget doesn’t run to paint, simply clean the woodwork and walls with a damp cloth paying particular attention to dirty or marked areas. While you’re at it, clean the windows and light fittings too so that they let in the maximum amount of light.

Deep Clean the Carpet

If you have a carpeted bedroom now’s the time for a deep clean. Make sure you give the carpet a thorough vacuum and then use a carpet cleaner to remove stains and refresh the carpet fibres. Throw open the windows to dry out the carpet after cleaning and let some fresh air into your room too.  If you have wooden flooring, give it an extra deep clean and polish or treat the floor as required.

Remake Your Bed

Warmer nights call for lighter bedding and what could be better for a good night’s sleep than a wool quilt? Naturally hypoallergenic, wool quilts have the ability to wick moisture away from your body as you sleep to give you a better night’s sleep and ensure that you wake up feeling more refreshed and ready to face the day. Use this time to check your mattress and pillows too. Do they need a deep clean or are they ready for replacement? You may also want to change your bedding to a lighter weight and colour too to reflect the lighter and longer days.

Bring the Outdoors In

Adding greenery to your bedroom with plants is very on-trend right now. Choose a few large statement plants or allow hanging plants to drape from the top of cupboards or a shelf above the bed. Plants not only help to remove toxins from the air, but they contribute to a sense of calmness – a necessity for every bedroom.

Add a Scentsational Scent

Your bedroom should be a haven where you can relax. One way to encourage your body and mind to switch off and unwind is to introduce scent into the space. You can do this with fragranced sticks or candles or how about using an electric oil diffuser that will fill the air with the scent of your choice?

And there you go – five easy ways to get your bedroom ready for spring.

Is Wool the Right Choice for Your New Bedding?

 

Have you decided that you want to invest in some quality bedding? The market is full of options for your bedding from synthetic fibres to natural materials, so how do you know the best quilt type to choose?

Here at Halcyon Dreams, we believe that wool quilts make for a great night’s sleep every night, and there are plenty of reasons why you should choose one for your bed!

Do you want a quilt that can regulate your temperature?

We are all different, so it can be hard to find a quilt that suits everyone, particularly if you share a bed with someone else. With a wool quilt, that choice is made easier. Wool naturally regulates your body temperature and keeps you cool when it is warm and warm when it is cooler.

What’s more, not only does wool keep you at the right temperature throughout the night, it also keeps you feeling fresh. If you produce any sweat while you are sleeping, the wool will wick it away. It can retain up to 30% of its body weight in moisture, and it will only release the moisture when the environment is dry enough for it to do so.

Do you suffer from allergies?

If you are an allergy sufferer, you are not alone. Common allergies often cause sleep trouble, but your choice of bedding can have an impact. Wool is naturally hypoallergenic. Along with this, it is resistant to dust mites, so you can look forward to a night free from sniffing and sneezing. Your partner will thank us too!

Do you want a quilt that is easy to care for?

Choosing a quality quilt does not mean that you are in for a complicated cleaning routine. Wool is incredibly easy to take care of. It resists odours and stains, and it is even self-cleaning! Designed by nature to keep sheep clean and dry, it works the same way when it is on your bed.

At Halcyon Dreams, many of our wool doonas are also washable, so even though your quilt may not need it, it is good to know that you can wash it. Follow the care instructions on the label for the best results.

Support Australian farmers and choose sustainable wool

When you choose a wool quilt from Halcyon Dreams, you are continuing to positively impact the Australian economy and support our farmers. All our wool comes from Australian sheep, and we always source the best quality.

You can also feel good that you are choosing a sustainable option. As long as there are sheep, there will always be wool.

New Bed? Make Sure You Dress It Well

 

Is there any better feeling than sinking into a comfortable bed at the end of a long day? If you have splashed out on a new bed, you are probably looking forward to it arriving, as well as getting some new accessories to make the bed your own.

Here at Halcyon Dreams, we help you to get a great night’s sleep every night with our range of wool quilts. Why do we love wool? Read on to find out why it makes the best choice for you.

Wool works with your body temperature

In your new bed, the last thing you want to do is sweat through to your mattress. Luckily, wool has you covered as it is temperature regulating. It can retain up to 30% of its weight in moisture, absorbing any sweat created while you sleep. You can wake up feeling clean and refreshed, and it is good news for your new bed too!

If you are someone that feels the cold, a wool quilt will also work perfectly for you. It will keep you warm and snug no matter what the weather is doing outside.

Best for allergies

For anyone that suffers from allergies, wool is a great choice for your bedding. It is naturally hypoallergenic. As well as this, it is resistant to dust mites, which means less of the annoying sneezing attacks and sniffing.

It is natural

Nowadays, many of us are searching for natural products rather than synthetic manmade fibres. After all, they have been designed by nature to do a job perfectly. Wool is a natural material designed to keep sheep warm and dry while offering them the best protection.

When you buy wool from us, you will also be helping Australian farmers and the economy. Wool is a sustainable choice. Wool can even biodegrade when it reaches the end of its life!

Finish your new bed off with some beautiful covers and accessories

Of course, once you have your wool bedding, you will need covers to protect it. Opting for a natural material, such as cotton, will mean it is breathable, and you will be able to get all the benefits from your wool quilt.

Whether you are after something bright and fun, neutral or crisp white, there are many options out there, so hunt around and find something that you love. Add a few scatter cushions, and your bed will feel like something out of a magazine.
