Zap gaps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quick fix to warm a room and save energy is to zap gaps that let cold air in and warm air out. Typically, these occur around windows, doors and through floorboards, but can be managed with draught excluders, window film, rugs and thicker curtains (see below). If you own your home (or have an obliging landlord), DIY products such as caulk or weather-stripping to seal doors and window, and expanding foam, can quickly and easily fix cracks, gaps and holes. Keep doors to unheated rooms closed to stop the cold air from moving into the rooms you use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e4.

As James Poore of lighting design consultancy JPLD explains: “Our homes are essentially our caves, our nests. It’s where we go for security and comfort, and to rest and relax ready for the next day. For a bedroom to feel nurturing, it needs to mimic the pattern of light between sunrise and sunset. This also helps to maintain a healthy circadian rhythm”. To achieve peak cosiness, James suggests avoiding bedroom ceiling lights and using ambient lighting characterised by a warm orange glow (2200K or less on the Kelvin scale). “Dimmable smart lights that are tunable to the time of the day can also help to create a cosy, warm, laid-back bedroom feel.” \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10.

However, avoid anything too weighty on a down duvet as down loses its insulating properties when compressed. Throws, blankets and quilts come in many fabric types, with a pure new wool blanket a top pick for winter warmth. They can also add an interesting design element to the bed. Ben Spriggs, Editor in Chief at ELLE Deco tells Tielle: “Throws are a great way to add colour and pattern. White sheets look great combined with an accent colour, and stripes, checks or florals will add even more character.” The same throw can also be draped over a sofa – perfect for binge-watching on long winter nights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDid you know?

However, a good night’s sleep calls for luxury bedding that fits well. There are many different bed sizes*, and their measurements reflect their intended use. UK beds can be single, double, queen (also known as a small double), king size (for those who value space) and super king size (perfect for family movies!). The largest of them all is an emperor bed at 7ft x 7ft. European bed sizing is slightly bigger, so check your bed dimensions before buying super king size bedding from Europe (or even your local IKEA!) as it may not fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBedding Types\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuper king beds are wider than king size beds, so you’ll need super king bed linen to fully appreciate that delicious extra space.

Likewise, putting a super king duvet on a king size duvet will lead to excess fabric either side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e When choosing bedding fabrics and fills, nothing beats a luxury \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tielleloveluxury.co.uk\/products\/european-goose-down-duvet\"\u003egoose down\u003c\/a\u003e or duck \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tielleloveluxury.co.uk\/collections\/duvets?page=3\"\u003efeather and down duvet\u003c\/a\u003e in down proof natural cotton casing.

Factors such as the quality of the yarn and finishing technique also influence the overall quality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeave: The most common bed linen weaves are percale and sateen and each offers a different feel and appearance. Percale is crisp and lightweight, whereas sateen has a smooth and lustrous finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesign and style: Consider the overall aesthetic of your bedroom. Classic white linen always looks fresh and elegant and can feel especially luxurious in a sateen weave.

If it doesn’t contour to your body shape, it may be too hard. If it feels just right, other sleep stealing factors may be at play such as food, alcohol, temperature and stress.

You’ll know if a mattress dips (sags) as you will likely roll into the middle of the bed unintentionally. A tired mattress filling may also separate and form lumps.
