Down Comforter Bedding

A soft, comfy bed isn’t just for slumber.  Many people like to sink into their bed to relax and get away from it all.  When you close the door of your bedroom and slide between the cotton sheets and down comforter, the outside world feels a million miles away.

Consider a few common ways people unwind in bed:

 -Snuggling up to several puffy down pillows to feel like you landed in a cloud.  Before you know it, you’ll be taking a nap.

-Watching television propped up on a stack of thick down pillows.

-Reading a great book with no interruptions.  Make sure you have a good nighstand light.

-Cuddling up with your children and telling stories.  Plenty of giggling and snacking is encouraged!

-Lay in a prone position for 10 minutes of deep breathing and streching to feel energized and renewed.

A cozy bed with down bedding is an inviting place to escape reality and recharge your personal batteries.

With spring comes warmer weather, colorful flowers and longer days.  While everyone looks forward to sun and fun in the spring, it all means spring cleaning and allergies.  Don’t wind up too congested to have a good time or get decent sleep this year.  Here are a few suggestions that will have you falling asleep under your down comforter sooner than you might think.

1.  Use gloves and a mask when you spring clean.  You’re raising a lot of dust which can aggravate your allergies.  A glove keeps dirt from building under your fingernails and a mask protects your mouth and nose while breathing.

2.  Read the instructions on prescription and non-prescription allergy medications carefully.  Some medications might make you drowsy while others may energize you.  Be in the know so you can plan your medication, work and sleep schedule accordingly.

3.  Use a neti pot.  This simple device is found in pharmacies everywhere and offers natural relief for allergy congestion.  A neti pot looks like a small teapot.  You fill it with a saline solution to rinse out your sinuses.  This also removes allergens and debris.

4.  Have light, comfortable down bedding.  Take off your heavy blankets and down comforter from the winter.  When you’re too warm, it’s more difficult to breathe and sleep.  Use Egyptian cotton sheets and a light down comforter for comfortable spring sleeping.

As the weather warms up, we’re all happy to get more time outdoors.  Planting gardens, watching sprouts come up, biking, walking and playing are all favorite springtime activities.  After a day of soaking up fresh air and sunshine, there’s nothing better than a cozy, inviting bed.

A light down comforter is perfect for all seasons.  Down is insulated, which means it holds in heat when it’s cold and it keeps you cooler when it’s warm.  Even with a down comforter, there are warm days you will perspire.  Choose silky, absorbent Egyptian cotton sheets to have right next to your skin.

The superior quality and feel of Egyptian cotton is world-renowned.  Across the globe people purchase Egyptian cotton sheets because nothing else feels quite at good.  The tight weave, fine cotton and incredible texture make Egyptian cotton sheets the ultimate luxury.  Why not treat yourself to a pampering new set of Egyptian cotton sheets for the warmer days ahead?  You’ll be glad you did when you sink into a soft, cool bed on a sultry summer night.

You’ve probably heard the old saying, “Sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite.”  It holds true because bed bugs really exist and can seriously disrupt your sleep.  These tiny, wingless bed bugs are the size of a poppy seed and feed on human blood.  Bed bugs next in your down bedding and cause skin irritations over time.

Bed bugs are white when molting then turn colors such as tan, brown and burnt orange.  When they bite you at night, they also emit a small amount of saliva.  This saliva makes your skin red, irritated and ridden with rashes with repeated biting.  Although bed bugs feed on blood, there are no reported incidents of them spreading disease.

Used mattresses and bed frames must be carefully examined for evidence of bed bugs.  Place a fresh mattress on a clean bed frame with new down bedding and down pillows.  Keep your bedding off the floor and wash your sheets and comforters regularly.  Be careful when you return home from traveling or visiting because bed bugs might reside in your luggage then nest in your bedroom.  With a few precautions, you can sleep tight under your down comforter and the bed bugs won’t bite.

Now that spring is here, everyone is cleaning up, putting away winter linens and displaying light-colored cotton sheets.  Make sure you follow the “three sheet rule”.  When you have three sets of bedding sheets for each bed, they last much longer.  There are also plenty of sheets to use when another set is in the laundry or someone gets sick in bed.

Before storing your sheets, make sure to wash them.  For cotton bedding sheets, wash with like colors in warm water and tumble dry on a medium setting.  Cotton naturally softens with each washing to be even softer and more inviting.  If your bedding sheets are a cotton/polyester blend, machine wash and dry on the warm/permanent press setting of your machines.  Before washing any of your sheets, make sure to verify the fiber content and washing instructions on the label.  If the weather is warm enough outside, you can hang your sheets on a line for a fresh air fragrance when you go to bed.  You also save money on electricity by drying your sheets on an outdoor line.

Store your winter bedding sheets in a chest or linen closet.  To keep pesky moths away, fill a pouch with rosemary or lavender.  Cedar chips and blocks also work well to deter moths.  If you keep your sheets stored in a wooden chest, make sure to line it with muslin so the wood doesn’t stain your sheets.  Consider luxurious, silky Egyptian cotton bedding sheets in an array of pastel colors for the spring/summer bedding season.

This weekend, it’s all about spring forward rather than fall behind.  While we gain an hour and lose daylight in the fall, now we are setting the clocks ahead an hour tonight to enjoy more daylight.  With thoughts of the warmer weather come visions of gardening, flying kites and…spring cleaning.

Now that you’re clearing out and cleaning up for spring, take time to change the sheets on your bed.  Get rid of the thick, dark colored sheets to make way for thinner, lighter sheets in pale colors.  Adding an upbeat sheet to your bed brightens up your entire bedroom for the spring season.

A decadent favorite is Egyptian cotton.  The higher the thread count, the tighter the weave and the softer the sheets feel against your skin.  With more revealing night clothes in the spring and summer, more of your skin is revealed.  Having silky, breathable cotton sheets is the ultimate way to spoil yourself for the warmer weather.  Consider luxurious 1200 threat count Egyptian cotton sheets, much like the ones used in fine hotels.  They feel fabulous against your bare skin and look simply beautiful on your beds.

Remember to include pretty pastel Egyptian cotton bedding sheets on your spring to-do list to update your bedroom decor for the season.

When you snuggle with that special someone for Valentine’s Day, you usually head for the comfort of the bedroom. A puffy down comforter keeps you warm while you watch television or go to sleep. But when you cozy up under the covers, you want the softest bedding sheets possible.

I prefer the breathable softness of pure Egyptian cotton bedding sheets. World famous for its comfort and quality, I purchased a set right before February 14^th last year. I decided to really make the evening special. I ran a bubble bath for two and lit plenty of scented candles leading from the bathroom to the bedroom. The craft store sold scented silk rose petals, which I scattered all over the bathtub and bed. My husband was amazed, impressed and definitely feeling romantic.

With soft jazz music in the background, we sipped wine from flutes and slipped under the covers together. My husband immediately noticed the difference and asked, “Wow are these new sheets? They’re so soft!” I told him they were Egyptian cotton and he said to never buy anything else. Of course the rest of our evening together is completely confidential…but it all started thanks to those sensual, high end Egyptian cotton bedding sheets!

With Valentine’s Day just a couple of weeks away, it’s already time to think about what to do for that special someone.  Why not give them a gift that keeps on giving all year long - a luxurious down bedding set.

Include a posh down comforter, soft bedding sheets and a puffy down pillow in the Valentine’s Day package.  Imagine how delighted that special someone will be when they see you treated them to a beautiful new down bedding set.  Get creative and include a few other loving essentials to ensure you have the most passionate Valentine’s Day ever.

Along with the down bedding set, give your lover a box of gourmet chocolates and a bottle of quality champagne.  If you are both eating healthy, give your Valentine chocolate covered strawberries and flavored seltzer.   Add a soft pair of silk pajamas and you know what will happen next.  Plenty of eating, drinking, snuggling and cuddling will occur under that new down comforter.

If your Valentine’s Day plans fell short in the past, make it up to that special someone this year with an evening of love centered around a new fashion bedding set.   Get down with your Valentine for loving memories that will last forever.

 As soft as cashmere, as smooth as silk . . . bamboo sheets are today’s luxury bedding choice.  It seems strange to those who haven’t slept on bamboo sheets or tried other bamboo fabric products, but when bamboo grass is spun into fabric, it is quite literally “smooth as silk”.  People all over the world are switching from cotton to bamboo sheets and bedding.  Once you try it, you’ll never go back.  Why bamboo?  For starters, did you know that bamboo sheets are actually temperature-regulating?  Bamboo fabric stays naturally cool in summer and warm in winter, making it the perfect choice for sheets. And let’s not forget that bamboo is naturally antibacterial and allergen-free. What more could a person ask for? But Bamboo sheets aren’t just heavenly to sleep on.  They are made of an easily renewable natural resource. Isn’t that amazing!  Bamboo plants can grow up to a foot a day.  Another interesting feature of bamboo forests is that they can grow more densely than hardwood forests - 40% more.  Bamboo doesn’t need pesticides and other chemicals, making it a naturally organic product. Think you’re doing the environment a favor by eating organic foods?  Your clothes, sheets, towels, and other textiles likely have more of an impact.  Bamboo sheets are also the vegan/animal friendly choice for luxury - unlike silk or cashmere.  This means you can sleep peacefully knowing no animals were harmed for you to sleep on your comfy bamboo sheets.
