Summer slumber

The time has come to swap out heavy winter bedding for lighter, breathable layers ready for warm summer nights. It’s important to regulate your body temperature to encourage falling and staying asleep for longer. Lighter weight sheets and organic cotton duvet inners or cotton quilts offer versatile layering pieces to add or remove with ease as temperatures change. Our recommendations for summer sheets are our Loft pure linen sheets which are light, soft, breathable and durable, our Heirloom cotton percale which are lightweight, crisp and cool to the touch and our sustainable Purity organic cotton sheets which feel fresh, soft and clean.

Bedtime routine

Create a regular evening routine to help prepare yourself for sleep. Start by switching off the distractions of the outside world and put your phone or device on flight or silent mode. Watching blue screens before bedtime can disrupt your circadian rhythm which will disrupt your sleep. Take a cool shower to lower your body temperature, light a candle and relax in comfy PJs or a robe with a good book (no thriller stories which will keep your mind racing!). Dim the lights before bedtime and try a little spritz of lavender pillow spray to help induce sleep.

Sleep environment tips

Creating a cool and comfortable bedroom will help encourage sleep. Sleep is so important for mental and physical wellbeing, boosting immunity and reducing stress levels. Consider keeping your bedroom clutter and work free to instill a sense of calm. Make your bed with bedding that is made from natural breathable fabrics and that is appropriate for the season or climate. Choose roomy, comfortable sleepwear made from breathable, natural fabrics. Keep your bedroom dark and quiet with good ventilation, either with an open window or air conditioning or fan on a low setting.

Sleep accessories

Sleep accessories can help with a better nights’ sleep. Now that you have the right bedding, sleepwear, and a new bedtime routine to try, here are a few final pieces to consider. We recommend using an eye mask to reduce wakeful light, particularly if you have a bedroom you’re not able to make as dark as you’d like, or you’re planning a long weekend sleep in (eye masks are also great for travelling). Elevate your pillow style with a luxurious silk pillowcase. Cool to the touch and gentle on your skin and hair, a silk pillowcase is a beautiful sleep accessory. Last but not least, use home fragrance to create a relaxing sleep environment. Choose a gently fragrant candle to light on your bedside table for the soft flickery glow or add a little spritz of pillow mist to your pillow to help take you to the land of nod.
