Changing up your bedding in preparation for the warmer months can make sleeping far more comfortable, resulting in a better nights sleep and waking up feeling refreshed! It's also a great way to bring in fresh colours to your bedroom, adding to the vibe that summer brings.
Here's our tips on how to keep cool and get a better nights sleep as the nights turn balmy, and the air conditioning is on!
Lighter Bedding Options:
Get rid of those flannelette sheets as soon as you feel the temperatures start to rise. Opt for lighter, breathable bedding options. Soft linens, cottons and bamboo sheets are light weight and will help regulate your temperature, making them a better option for the warm weather. Remember, you can always layer lighter fabrics to get the perfect weight and temperature for you, and lose a layer or two on the extra warm nights.
Coverlets:
Have you heard of a coverlet? A coverlet is a light bedding layer that can be swapped in for a heavy duvet in the summer. It's light and breathable, but carrys a little more weight if you like to still feel cosy and secure. Pair this with beautiful bamboo, cotton or linen sheets for a plush summer bedding set up!
Lightweight, breathable bedlinen:
Certain fabrics will help your body temperature regulate, insuring you stay as cool as possible! Washed linen, bamboo, stonewashed cotton are all great choices and give a coastal, summery feel. These lighter fabrics are woven from natural fibres that are breathable and allow air to circulate through, so they keep an optimal sleeping temperature.
