This makes me want to rethink my sleeping habits, we sleep with one top sheet and a light quilt and our tempurpedic pillows, the airing out of the bed and vacuuming the bed are things I want to implement as well as the lavender oil.

“1. First the mattress should be prepared. I vacuum it once a week to make sure it’s dust free, the spritz it with linen spray, and apply a quilted mattress protector.

2. On top of this I layer a sheepskin liner,(scrumptious), a feather filled mattress topper, then a cotton base sheet and a second heavier guage cotton sheet, and the bed is then ready to start layering on the top sheets etc.

3. We have six pillows: feather is my preference because I like a fluffy (occasionally spiky!) pillow. We have four housewife pillows and two square European ones for reading. All of the pillows have quilted pillow protectors, then white cotton pillowcases and then decorative pillowcases to suit. I usually go for two ruffled pillowcases and two plain ones and search for decorative square covers for the pillows at the front. A lavender sachet is slipped inside each pillow and all the pillows sprized with linen spray.

4. I then tuck a top sheet onto the bed, place the pillows on top and then because I can’t sleep without a duvet, the duvet goes on top of this.

5. The bed is finished off with a patchwork quilt and a crocheted blanket folded at the bottom of the bed, two bolster cushions and two decorative cushions.”
