Top Tips on How to Clean and Protect Your Bedding

 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.

Designing a Cosy and Stylish Bedroom with the Right Bedding Accessories

 When we move into a new home, condo, or apartment, one of the first things we like to do is to start decorating. We might select a special colour scheme and repaint some of the rooms; at times, a newly painted accent wall may suffice. Since me might already have many of our furnishings, adding a rug or throw pillows to a living area could complete our new design look. Artwork that catches the eye and keeps things visually interesting is also a great idea.

Creating a beautiful design plan for our bedroom is also quite important. If your bedroom is inviting, and cosy and stylish, it is going to beckon you to relax and drift off to sleep at the end of the long day. Sleep is so vitally important given how fast-paced and hectic our world is today. When you get good, quality sleep, your body gets a chance to heal and rejuvenate and you’ll be ready for tomorrow’s dawn.

Choose a Luxurious Wool Doona

The first thing to do if you are creating a cosy bedroom is to choose a beautiful wool doona for your bed. When you buy quilts online, you’ll get the best online wool quilts Australia has to offer.

You’ll find a variety of top-quality choices on offer, with different weights to choose from depending on the season. Best of all, if you buy quilts online, you will save money because you can buy at factory-direct pricing. They are beautifully stylish too. Want to save even more money? Be sure to keep an eye online for wool quilts sales in Australia.

Sleep Cradled in Comfort With a Wool Underlay

Another way you can enhance your sleeping experience in your updated, stylish bedroom is to add a top-quality wool underlay to your bedding. These help keep your body temperature at the right levels, and let you get great sleep all night long.

During summer months, you turn the cotton side of the underlay up; in winter, reverse it and you will be nestled with 5-star quality wool under your sheets.

Add Stylish and Amazingly Comfortable Sheets

With the right sheets sets and pillowcases, you can bring a further touch of comfort and elegance into your bedroom. Popular choices include Egyptian cotton, which is very soft and breathable, silk and cashmere.

To make a further design statement, consider choosing sheets with pleasing design patterns. They can help brighten up your bedroom space, and add a touch of pizazz to the room.

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.

Wool Quilts Are Perfect for a Cosy Winter Bed

There is nothing better than snuggling down for the night in bed on a cold winter’s night. You might like to curl up with a good book, your iPad or a mug of hot chocolate. In whichever way you choose to wind down for the evening, at Halcyon Dreams, we have got you covered, quite literally, for the best night’s sleep.
