The ‘Spring Forward’ clock change is almost upon us. But are you wondering why you're still feeling too tired to fully enjoy the springtime? Children's Sleep Expert, Natalie Preston, is here to give us her top tips on how we can all prioritise sleep better so that we're 'Spring-ing' out of bed each morning.

On shopping websites, bedding can often be referred to as a 'duvet cover set', but what does that actually mean and what does it include? Soak&Sleep are here to help you with our expert guide. 

Coverings such as duvet covers and flat sheets are a great quick win to achieving a cooler night’s sleep, so what's the best way to use a duvet cover as an alternative for a blanket?

Changing a duvet cover should be a simple task, but it can be surprisingly tricky. Knowing which edge of the duvet should go into which end of the cover, getting the corners to match up, and not getting too hot and bothered in the process are all challenges we face! Struggle no more, with our easy guide. 

To many, a bad night’s sleep can result in bad moods, bad routines and bad decisions. But does sleep affect the way you look? It’s the age-old question ‘does bad sleep affect your beauty’, so we’ve produced six things that you need to know about beauty sleep. 

There is lots to think about when creating your perfect room design. One way to really do that is with colour and texture and the simple addition of a beautiful bedspread, throw or blanket can really add an interesting accent to an otherwise bland space. But what is the difference between the three and how should you use them to best effect?

Find yourself getting confused with all the bedding jargon out there? You’re not the only one - trust us! We’re always happy to help our customers find what they’re looking for to complete their sleep wardrobe, so when a few asked us “what’s the difference between a duvet cover and a comforter?” we knew it was about time we created a guide to help! 

Here at Soak&Sleep, we love to have a good soak in a nice, warm bath. After all, it’s half of who we are! So, being that today is Bathtub Day; a day on which we can celebrate the sacred time we spend in our lovely bathtubs – we investigated how our bath time benefits our well-being, as if we really needed any more reason to run one!

The Sleep Council recently revealed that chimps sleep in cleaner beds than humans, and so it is no surprise to find out that we often keep our duvets for far longer than their use-by date. Hidden away under beautiful duvet covers, blankets and bedspreads are often duvets that are lumpy, thin, and downright dirty, yet this bedroom item is not only essential for sleep, but also for our general health. 

So, you’ve treated yourself to a luxury duvet cover, and as beautiful as they look on day one they’re normally the first to show signs of dirt and general wear and tear. So what the best ways to keep your cover looking pristine, fresh and new for many years to come?
