Maintaining the longevity of your bedding, pillows, and duvets is crucial for ensuring a comfortable and healthy sleep environment. Here are five simple tips to help you extend the life of your bedding:
Fluff up your pillows
Every morning, give your pillows a light tap on the sides to fluff them up and add some air. Overnight, pillows tend to become flat and damp from body heat and moisture. Fluffing them up helps keep them in good shape.
Rotate your duvet
Over time, the side of the duvet that is against your body can become damp from perspiration. To keep the moisture level balanced, shake out your duvet and rotate it so that the side that was at your feet is now at your head.
Air out your bedding
Fresh air is a great way to remove any excess moisture that has built up in your bedding overnight. If the weather is dry, take advantage of the sun's natural disinfectant properties and hang your bedding outside to air out.
Air out your bedroom
Airing out your bedroom is an excellent way to reduce moisture levels and improve air quality. Open a window to let in fresh air, or use a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture from the air.
Avoid vacuuming your bedding
While it may be tempting to vacuum your bedding to remove dust, this is not recommended, especially for down-filled products. Vacuuming compresses the down, reducing its loft and overall effectiveness. Instead, use a lint roller or spot clean any stains.
By following these simple tips, you can extend the lifespan of your bedding and ensure that you get the most out of your investment. Remember to care for your bedding regularly to keep it clean and comfortable for years to come.
