    Exercise regularly to improve your Sleep.

    ·          A great way to improve your sleep is regular exercise. Just 20 minutes a day of moderate exercise daily such a brisk walking can make a real difference.  Make sure not to exercise  too close to bed time as exercise produces stimulants that stop the brain from relaxing.

    ·         Exercising first thing in the morning is an excellent way to wake up the body. Going for a brisk walk or a run, in fact any aerobic exercise will aid the body’s natural wake/sleep patterns.

    ·         Remember even a short walk daily can help!

    Get your brain to relax!

    Take time to relax before you go to bed. A bath or shower before you go to bed can be really useful.

    Many sleep specialists suggest beathing excercises before sleep. Breathe, use your abdomen for deep breathing not your chest. Breathe in through your nose for three seconds, then breathe out for three seconds. Pause for three seconds before breathing in again. Try this for 5 minutes before settling to sleep.

    Keep your bedroom well ventilated and some people find that a little olbas oil , lavender oil or other sweet smelling herb oils  oin the bedroom aid sleep.

    Make sure that your bedroom is dark with the minimum amount of light from outside

    Don’t lie in bed tossing and turning. Leave the bedroom and find something absorbing like jigsaws or reading and don’t go back to bed until you feel sleepy. Don’t watch television!

    Some people find that massage or aromatherapy  helps in preparing the mind and body for sleep.

    Finally make sure that you have a comfortable mattress and bed linen. We recommend our Mattress Toppers, Duvets and Bed Linen all in 100% Bamboo . Bamboo is soft, comfotable and keeps you at the correct temperature thoughout the night and aids restful sleep . Check out more details on Bamboo Bed Linen here.

    UK Move into Larger Beds

    By , January 24, 2011 1:07 pm

    Growth in Larger Bed Sizes

    A recent report in the  UK has reported a 45pc growth in 2010 in sales of king-size and super-king sized beds. The sales growth of larger beds appears to be on an ever upward trend with sales of even larger beds such as the Regal sounding  Emperor (7 foot wide) and even Caesar Size (8 foot wide).

    Standard Double Beds on the way out

    Realistically most homes can accommodate a Super King Size Bed  which is 183cm x 200cm(6′ wide 6′ 6″ long). This sounds like a very large bed but it affords just the same space as 2 single beds placed together.Compare that to say a standard Double Bed at 135cm wide (4’6″) and you can begin to see why people are trading up to larger beds. We are also much taller and heavier than our parents and grandparents  so it seems that the days of the Standard Double Bed are numbered.

    Bed Functionality Changing

    There is also another trend at work here. With the bed dominating more space in the bedroom, the functionality of it is evolving.  With people using their bed much more to watch television, listen to music or use their laptop.

    Beds Getting Deeper Too

    While beds are certainly getting wider and  longer the mattresses are getting deeper. Often much deeper. The growing popularity of Mattress Toppers is accelerating the trend. The standard mattress depth is 20cm (8″).
     It is now common for mattresses to be 26 cm (10″) , 32cm (12 “)  or 35cm (14″) deep and 16″ deep and deeper is not unusual.

    UK Bed Linen Manufacturer has the answer

    Getting bed linen to fit bigger deeper beds can prove difficult and frustrating with many High Street Stores failing to stock bed linen for larger beds. Happily UK based manufacturers such as Between the Sheets make bed linen for any size or shape of beds. They can even discuss your particular requirements over the phone or you can order online at www.betweenthesheets.co.uk

    Buying Bamboo Sheets

    By , January 24, 2011 11:53 am

    Bamboo Bed Sheets

    Bamboo bed sheets are increasingly popular alternatives to the traditional bedding fabrics. If you are looking to buy a set of bamboo bed sheets here is a few things you should consider when making your purchase.

    Better than Cotton

    Compared to Cotton, Bamboo is much more eco friendly and sustainable. Take care to select a Bamboo fabric that has been made from organically cultivated Bamboo. Bamboo is more resistant to soiling than cotton and is naturally anti bacterial, anti static and highly dust mite resistant. It is ideal for those with sensitive skin and allergies.You should carefully consider the percentage of bamboo fabric in the bed sheets. You will find different compositions of bamboo, ranging from 100% bamboo down  to 40-60% bamboo/cotton mix. The cotton / bamboo mixes are more prone to shrinkage of up to 10%.

    100% Bamboo Bed Linen is the answer

    To enjoy all the benefits of bamboo bed sheets you should  buy 100% bamboo bed sheets. 100% Bamboo bed sheets are generally more expensive than the bamboo – cotton mixes but they are much softer . Pure 100% bamboo bedding controls your body temperature while you sleep keeping you warm in winter and cool on summer.

    You should check out the thread count of the bed sheets. The best Bamboo Fabric has a 250 + thread count and the quality and softness compares to a  1000 thread count in Cotton.

    Finally, you might want to think about the colour of your bed sheets. Generally only white is available but some specialist companies have a wider range of colours available . Click here to view.
