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.

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?

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. Aside from wreaking havoc on your sleep, a mattress with lumps or dips won’t support your spine. This can put pressure on joints and aggravate existing injuries.

A topper can also be used to extend a mattress’s lifespan but only if it is in a reasonable condition, says Robert Lancaster-Gaye. “A mattress topper isn’t designed to fix a saggy mattress, but it will help soften a mattress that’s too firm and protect it from wear and tear.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe bed is creaky or noisy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your mattress squeaks or creaks the bed springs or mattress fillings may be showing their age.

From the mood lighting to the crisp white bed linen and fluffy towels, every element of a five-star hotel room needs to strike the perfect balance between style, comfort and practicality. It also needs to offer long-lasting luxury to ensure a more sustainable stay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/2357\/9825\/files\/348329058_905905927174217_6988753492966939710_n_480x480.jpg?v=1687790150\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e \u003ca class=\"x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x6umtig x1b1mbwd xaqea5y xav7gou x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz notranslate _a6hd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thefoxatoddington\/\" role=\"link\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e@thefoxatoddington\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUnderstanding Luxury Hotel Bedding Standards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh bedding standards are important for hotels, and comfort, appearance, durability, and quality (THE most essential ingredient for a good night’s sleep), will all impact their choice of luxury hotel bedding. Cost per wash and lifespan, e.g., how well the bedding can withstand frequent washing (this is usually between 400 – 1000 washes for bed linen), are also important to the luxury hotel buyer as this can significantly affect profits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSelecting the Right Bedding Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton is far more than a style statement. Soft and breathable, cotton bedding looks as beautiful on the bed as it feels against the skin. Add to that its ease of maintenance and it’s easy to see why cotton bedding is favoured by five-star hotels. Other luxury bedding materials have gained popularity in recent years, including pure linen and silk. Elegant and lustrous, silk bedding is expensive but can require a saint’s patience when laundering, especially if it acquires fake tan or other stains. Similarly to cotton, pure linen is breathable, and has an intentionally crumpled look unlike cotton’s smooth timeless appeal. However, some people find linen bedding a little rough and scratchy on the skin. It can also be prone to shrinking in hot water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThread Count and Fabric Density\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThread count (tc) is often touted as a measure of bed linen quality. However, factors such as yarn quality, fabric construction and finish are just as important when evaluating overall quality. The term thread count refers to the total number of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch of fabric. In general, the higher the thread count the softer, and more sumptuous the sheet. Most hotels prefer their luxury bedding to sit under 600tc as this provides the perfect balance of bedding durability, luxury and practicality. Creep higher and the fabric density - the number of warp and weft yarns arranged per square inch - can make the bedding less breathable and harder to launder due to the tightly packed threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind out if your linen is more low quality than hotel luxury by clicking the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tielleloveluxury.co.uk\/products\/cool-crisp-200tc-oxford-pillowcase-pair\"\u003ebuyers’ guide\u003c\/a\u003e link on this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWeave and Texture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePure cotton is the most popular choice for a luxuriously soft sleep experience. However, the way the threads are woven together will influence its look and feel. The most common bedding weave types are percale and sateen. Both can create a luxury bedding texture, but sateen offers additional elegance due to its subtle sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton percale is a plan weave in which a single horizontal thread passes over and then under a vertical thread. This basic construction gives the fabric a fresh, crisp feel that’s soft to the touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton sateen is a more intricate weave that creates a fabric with a soft, flowing look.

However, many five-star hotels prefer natural pillow and duvet fill materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhich duvet or pillow fill material is best for you is largely a matter of choice.

Natural fill materials, depending on the ratio of down and feather, tend to offer excellent insulation and can result in a higher tog rating. However, a good quality synthetic duvet can be just as comfy as a natural fill. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: Natural fill duvets tend to be weightier compared to synthetic duvets. This is because feather and down duvets and pillows are generally denser and heavier than synthetic fills. However, weight is also dependent on the fill power and the amount of fill used.
