  • To feather or not to feather

    Feathered pillows have been around for centuries but do you think that one deserves to be in your home?

    We at Duvet and Pillow Warehouse have compiled a list of advantages and disadvantages about feathered pillows and whether they will be of use to you.

    Advantages

    Feather pillows are known for being soft, cuddly and flexible. They mould to your head and neck reasonably well and provide more support than down. The pillows are also designed to provide head and neck support where and when you need it by scrunching up the pillow into a position that suits you.

    They are known as the most durable pillows around and will last for many years with reasonable care. Feathered pillows can usually be machine washed or dried. They are considered a strong value because they often last so long.

    Feather pillows weigh very little, in fact they usually weigh no more than a pound or two.

    Disadvantages

    After a while feather pillows can sink to some degree and don't often maintain significant support throughout the night.

    From this, you many find that you are constantly adjusting the pillow, fluffing and shaking it during the night.

    The hard quills of the feathers can often be noticed through the case and can sometimes poke through. You many also notice a crunching-like noise when the pillows are compressed because the feathers can contain hard parts or because the pillows have a plastic layer to prevent the feathers from poking through.

    Also, feather pillows are known to have an odour due to the chemicals used to sanitise the feathers.

  • How memory foam will reduce your achy joints

    Different positions you sleep in will affect the amount of pressure that is put onto your joints, you need to take into consideration the position you mostly sleep in and if you will benefit from a memory foam mattress or a memory foam topper. 

    If you sleep on your side a lot, you place a heavy amount of pressure in your shoulder and hips, and if you sleep on your stomach you are adding pressure to your neck. 

    A visco-elastic pressure sensitive memory foam mattress will work the best for you and provide you with the best chance of reducing the overall pressure placed on the joints, this is done by contouring them and pushing against them as you lay on the mattress. 

    Latex is sometimes added to memory foam that will offer more spring against parts of your body such as the small of your back or yours sides, without losing the ability to contour and displace pressure points.

    The duvet and pillow warehouse can help your achy joints by providing you all the information you need about why and how a memory foam mattress or a memory foam topper can help you,  and then advising you which would be most suitable.

  • Have a duvet day with www.duvetday.org

    duvet-day

    We have found THE best website ever crawling the world wide web. www.duvetday.org is a none-profit organisation who are actively trying to reduce the amount of carbon emissions pumped into the air by getting everyone to spend one day a year in bed!

    We all have a day or twenty where we just don't want to get out of bed. We are not ill or feeling sad, we are just so comfy snuggled up in bed that we want to stay there all day.

    And I don't think there is anyone out there who doesn't have this feeling most mornings...unless you suffer from insomnia. :-)

    The team held their first successful national Duvet Day on Friday 29th February 2008 where 80,000 people took part.

    The second national duvet day is planned for Wednesday 29th February 2012. Leap day is an extra day in the calendar that is not necessarily 'accounted' for. The team at Duvet Day hope that by having a national duvetday they can highlight the fact that 80 per cent of the CO2 emissions generated every day is through road transportation, business and industry.

    Well at Duvet and Pillow Warehouse we actively encourage reducing the amount of carbon emissions we pump into the air and can safely say that you should definitely take a trip to our website to find a wide range of comfy duvet covers for sale.

    Feathered duvets are a popular choice and can be purchased on the website at an affordable price. Other bedding products on the Duvet and Pillow Warehouse website include, bedding pillows, memory foam mattress toppers, memory foam pillows.

  • Top 5 Tips To Buying A Mattress

    Sleeping on the wrong mattress can cause a great deal of pain to the muscles and joints in your body without you even realising. A mattress is there to give you support and to reinforce poor sleeping posture, strained muscles and keep the spine in alignment, which if not supported can contribute to low back pain.

    It is also important to consider a mattress that meets your individual preferences. You may need a mattress that supports your lower back or a mattress that is hypoallergenic to help your allergies.

    Whatever your needs and requirements, we have come up with top 12 tips to buying the perfect mattress for you.

    1. Research online before going shopping

    There is a lot of information online which tells you different information about different types of mattresses and can often leave you in a pickle about where to go next. Make sure that when you are looking for information you visit trusted websites (like this blog!) or health websites such as Spine Health which can help you find reliable information before shopping for your mattress.

    2. Speak to your doctor

    If you suffer from a medical condition it may be a good idea to speak to your doctor before you buy your mattress. Doctors aren’t generally sleep experts but will have a good idea about what needs and requirements your medical condition needs to get the right comfort and support while you sleep.

    3. Firm Mattresses aren’t always the best for your back

    Think about how you sleep and what you need when it comes to a good nights sleep. People assume that a firm mattress is the way forward to improving posture, but every person is different and it is important to make sure that you buy a mattress to suit your needs and requirements.

    Make sure you are aware there is a difference between firm support and firm feel. You want a firm support but a comfortable feel and comfortable is determined by what works for YOU!

    You may like the idea of a memory foam mattress topper a more affordable version of a full memory foam mattress. The memory foam topper lies on top of your existing mattress providing support for your back as well as a protection for your mattress. Memory foam is perfect for firmness as well as comfort as the memory foam moulds to the shape of your body.

    4. Check the warranty

    A good mattress company will have a minimum 10 year FULL replacement of NON prorated warranty for your mattress. At Duvet and Pillow Warehouse we give our customers a 10 year warranty on our memory foam toppers as we are so confident about our products.

    5. Adjustable beds are a great option

    You may find that you are more comfortable sitting in a recliner chair than asleep in bed. If this is you it might be worth investing in an adjustable bed which will elevate your head and knees slightly to to relieve pressure on the lower back. If this option isn’t within your budget, you can also create the same desired affect by using bedding pillows. Duvet and Pillow Warehouse have a range of bedding pillows for you to choose from such as memory foam pillows or feather pillows.

  • Pillows to make the mouth water

  • Memory Foam Mattress vs Traditional Spring Mattress Part One

    Memory foam mattresses have crept onto the scene over the past few years, claiming they are the saviour of restless sleeps, but is it really true?

    Well at Duvet and Pillow Warehouse we have come up with some pros and cons about both mattresses so you can make the decision all by yourself! :-)

    Spring Mattress

    The thought of springs doesn't sound comfy to begin, but put it with a bit of material and you would probably assume you have a pretty comfy, bouncy bed.

    A pressure point test from a leading spring mattress indicating pressure points. The results showed that spring mattresses don't offer the correct pressure point relief needed for a good night's sleep.

    Traditional spring mattresses rely on a varied number of springs which push back against your body, all with the same force, making proper support impossible because our bodies do not push evenly. The lack of support on these pressure points lead to poor circulation, tossing and turning, aches and joint pain.

    In fact, spring mattresses lose 16 per cent of their support in the first year alone.

    Memory Foam Mattress

    When you buy a good quality memory foam mattress you will find that your body weight will distribute evenly. This reduces pressure points substantially, up to 80 per cent, which only memory foam can provide.

    Tossing and turning is greatly reduced with a memory foam mattress.

    Spring Mattresses

    Spring mattresses act as a shock absorber and reduce the wear and tear of a mattress. Coil gauges determine the firmness and support. The less coils there are the thicker the springs.

    Memory Foam Mattresses

    Vary, but generally go from firm to supple. As memory foam mattresses distribute the weight evenly, a good memory foam mattress should give you a firm feeling without compromising your back, hips and joints.

    Many memory foam mattresses become more supple with body heat, providing a cradling support your body requires.

    For more information about memory foam, and to find out how to reduce the cost by buying a memory foam mattress topper, visit Duvet and Pillow Warehouse today.
