From too warm or too cold to just right

For a cool sleeping space (ideally 13-20°C), reconsider the textile set-up in and around your bed. First, don’t settle on a lacklustre duvet. It’s a key temperature regulator. And don’t doubt curtains. Their light filtration and insulation will pay you back for putting them up.

Be fussy about your duvet

80% of body heat goes through your duvet. So don’t settle on a lacklustre one, and consider these tips. Sleep like a Swede with your own duvet. No sharing. Look for the thermal overall grade (TOG) that tells how warming it is (12 = extra warm). Swap for daily or seasonal changes, or get an all-seasons duvet.

Boost your curtain defence

Bear caves don’t need curtains, but your sleeping space might. Keep out hot or cold air with a simple, single layer of block-out or room darkening curtains. Or use layers to adjust light: filtering or sheer on the bottom and block-out or room darkening on top. You can rotate curtains like seasonal clothes too.
