Creating the Ultimate Cosy Bedroom with Our Doonas and Underlays

Creating the ultimate cosy bedroom with our doonas and underlays is easy once you unlock the magic of layering different textures to create warmth. Need some advice on how you can do that? Let us give you some tips;

Choose the Right Doona for the Season

Are you looking for some winter warmth or some summer comfort with a bit of airiness? Choosing the right doona is important when it comes to achieving your desired sleeping temperature. A washable wool quilt is ideal to get a balance of both sleeping environments and the right one can take you right through the year from one season to the next.

Layer Up

Let’s talk layers! Every single layer you put on your bed - from the fitted sheet to the underlay - plays an important role in creating a cosy space that you’ll look forward to getting into each night. Layers are not just important for trapping heat and enhancing comfort, they’re also important for wicking away moisture, allowing for air circulation and reducing friction between the body and mattress.

Quality Underlays

While a washable wool quilt will be the foundation of your new sleeping den, investing in a high quality underlay is the next step to ultimate luxury. Things to consider when shopping include the thickness of the underlay, the quality of the materials used, the level of support that’s given and the size of your bed.

Natural Fibres are Best

Do your research on the different materials that are available so you know you’re getting the best option in terms of quality, breathability and kindness to the skin. It’s always best to go for natural fibres as some of the cheap, synthetic fibres can cause all kinds of problems for those that suffer with allergies and skin conditions.

Finish with Cushions and Throws

Now that you have the mattress and under the covers sorted, it’s time to put the finishing touches to the space. The number one way to add a touch of luxury and style to your room is to add some gorgeous cushions and throws. Invest in dark coloured knits for winter to add warmth and choose brighter colours and lighter alternatives for the summer season.

And there you have it - 5 steps to creating the bed of your dreams. Follow this advice and you’ll be sleeping on cloud nine in no time.
