THE SLEEP RETREAT
Your bedroom is where you recharge your batteries so you can take on the world the next day. It is, therefore, safe to say that this area is not only a hugely important part of your home, but also a crucial aspect of your life during the daytime hours to ensure you get it right. Bed linen that allows your skin to breathe and make you feel as relaxed as possible before you fall asleep – as well as whilst you sleep – is instrumental to a good night’s rest. Plus, having a good-quality bed that supports your body in every nec essary way is a game-changer. Natural fabrics, colours and materials have become increasingly popular, and for good reason. They add a relaxing, homely, organic feel, which is what we all want when we retreat to our safe place – our bed.
