Ways to keep warm this Winter

Add layers to trap warm air with blankets

A quick win when discussing ways in keeping warm in bed this winter is by using blankets. Buying a heavy duty blanket can be an extremely cost effective way to keep warm. They can be purchased from many different home retailers.

Blankets come in all shapes and sizes, and are made from different materials which differ in how they keep you warm. With it being winter, you will want one that is best at preserving as much warmth as possible. 

We recommend a wool blend blanket. Whilst wool is comfy and soft on the touch, it also has a natural layer of keratin, a protein all animal hair contains which helps maintain body temperature. 

A cheap solution for a problem that can cause many restless nights and uncomfortable days at home. Better still you will get great use out of your blanket in other rooms in your house such as your living room when relaxing with friends and family. 

Invest in a warm mattress

Our next tip for keeping warm in the bedroom is to change out your mattress for a new one. One that is more effective at storing heat. If this is out of your price range or you have recently acquired a new one, feel free to skip this step.

Rearranging your bedroom

Another quick win to keep warm in bed is by rearranging your bedroom. Having your bed near the window might make it feel colder when you’re tucked up in bed.

Simply moving your bed away from your window and next to a radiator or bedroom door can be beneficial. When the heating is on, your bed will be warmed up more for when you do get in for your night’s rest. 

It’s always good to to have a move around in your bedroom, as change is considered a good thing. When rearranging your bedroom be sure to allow ventilation into the room, especially if your bed frame is placed against a wall. Mold can grow very easily without fresh, regular ventilation. 

Many windows can be left open by the latch but only fractionally, this can help ventilation without causing your room to freeze up over the winter months! 

Plus, if you need a way to organise your bedroom to accommodate your new warm blankets and duvets, consider an ottoman bed, perfect for discreetly organising your bits and bobs. 

A brand new duvet and bedding

Duvets are used every night and can be the best thing to keep you warm. There are many different duvets available, made from different materials. 

10.5 to 13.5 tog duvets are the ideal thickness during the colder months as they are able to keep heat in your bed. Tog is a measure of the warmth of a duvet, the higher the  number, the warmer it should be.

Your best choice for duvets is to ensure that it has a feather filling, this enables your duvet to respond to your body's temperature without causing unnecessary sweat and discomfort.
