Winter Bedding Starts Here: Simple Bedroom Prep Tips

The winter season is a romantic, cheerful one. But cold nights can disturb your sleep and make you irritable the next day. Preparing your bedroom for the winter is all about getting the bed ready for a long night of deep sleep, rest and rejuvenation. To help you get prepared, here’s a list of must-do’s in the winter season.  

• Get New Dohars and Duvet Covers  

If your residence is located in a pleasantly cool to cold region of the country, then a dohar blanket is the best for you. Dohars are wonderful articles of bed linen that keep you comfortably draped and warm even on cold nights. They are not too thick and heavy, and they adopt the contours of your body without clinging. Besides, being made entirely of cotton, they never overheat, so you will never be faced with a situation where you are sweaty inside the dohar blanket while the temperature is cold outside. You can find 100% cotton dohars in collections like Earthy Tones, Kids and others on the SPACES website.  If you feel the dohar needs a little more warmth, top it with a duvet cover. Get duvet covers with temperature-regulating properties from the Hygro Cotton collection.  

• A Comforter Set Is Great When It’s Too Cold  

Some areas of the country routinely experience temperatures below 5⁰C every winter. This cold weather can freeze the bedding before you go to bed, making the prospect of going to bed quite unappealing. But if you have a thick and plush comforter in your bed, then falling asleep will be a breeze because you will be toasty and comfortable inside it. The comforter often has more warmth than a dohar, since it is thicker and made of heat-insulating down feathers or silk fibres to trap body heat. Buy a lovely new winter comforter set this winter and say goodbye to broken sleep and bouts of shivering that you’ve faced over the years when the weather turns.  

• Cover Your Bedsheets Before You Sleep  

If the weather turns exceptionally cold, your bedsheets might become so frosty that it might feel like you are lying on a sheet of ice instead of a mattress. Here’s an easy tip to follow this winter to warm your bed preparatory to sleeping in it: place a hot water bottle at the foot of the bed and cover the entire mattress with a double comforter from the Solesto Hygro or the Occasions Stain Release collection. Keep the windows shut so that no cold air blows in and settles on the bed or comforter. When you’re about to hit the sack, open the windows and step into bed to find the mattress warm and welcoming.  

• Cotton Anti-Viral Sheets Are Best  

The winter season brings in a lot of seasonal flu, coughs, colds and allergy flare-ups. Even the novel Coronavirus has not left the country yet. All of these illnesses are transferred to your body via the nose, eyes, and mouth, as well as by infectious germs and microbes lurking on common surfaces in the home. Your bedding is an unknown culprit for most infectious illnesses – it harbours all these disease-causing microbes that enter your system as you sleep. This is why our elders insist on stripping the bed and washing the bed linen after a person has recovered from an illness. This winter, save yourself and your loved ones from infections and illnesses by buying anti-viral cotton bedsheets from SPACES. They kill over 99% of infectious viruses and germs and protect you as you sleep.  

• Add More Comfort with Cosy Blankets  

As the temperatures dip, blankets become your go-to for warmth and comfort. When it’s wintertime, a soft and cosy blanket is essential for a good night's sleep. SPACES offers a wide range of blankets for winter that are both soft and warm, ensuring you stay snug throughout the cold months. Look for blankets for winter designed specifically for colder weather—these provide the ideal balance of warmth and breathability. Whether lounging on the couch or getting into bed, a winter blanket can provide the perfect warmth without overheating. Layer your blanket with other winter bedding for added comfort and a touch of style.  

• Invest in Bedside Runners 

Adding a bedside runner to your bedroom is an easy way to enhance both comfort and safety during winter. These runners provide a soft, warm surface for your feet, protecting them from cold floors when you get out of bed. They also help prevent slips with their anti-skid features, ensuring safety during those early mornings. Available in a variety of colours and textures, bedside runners also add a stylish touch to your space. Additionally, they trap dust and dirt, keeping your bedroom clean. A simple yet effective addition, bedside runners can significantly improve your winter experience.
