You can already picture the scenario. Heads pushed up against the window, people who you don’t even know lying on your shoulder and dribbling, and screaming kids really not feeling the comfort of the plane and their parents trying with all their energy to keep them quiet.

There is nothing glamorous about sleeping on a plane and there is very little that can be done about it unless you are sleeping in first class, are a narcoleptic or a tiny person who can manage to curl up in a ball in one seat.

Well if you are jet setting off this winter to a hotter climate we at Duvet and Pillow Warehouse have come up with some great ideas to spot the best sleeping spot on the whole plane.

 

• Know your good seats from your bad seats. Avoid the ones that don’t recline like the back row on the plane and some exit row seats.
• Search the plan for an unoccupied row so you can stretch out like a cat.
• For sleeping the window seat is generally the best. You can rest your head between the cabin wall and the seat.
• Noise cancelling headsets or ear plugs to block out the sound of crying children, arguing couples, snoring passengers.
• To avoid being disturbed leave your tray table up when they come round with food and beverages.
• Wear cotton or wool garments, not polyester or rayon.
• Drink lots of water and keep one near by for later night sips.
• Purchase a neck pillow either on the plane or prior to your flight so you can get straight to sleep the second you sit in your seat.

Duvet and Pillow Warehouse are passionate about duvets and pillows and understand the importance of a good night sleep where ever it is you will be. If you aren’t jet setting off this winter, why not take a look at some comfortable and cosy bed linen at www.duvetandpillowwarehouse.co.uk.

A poor pillow seller in Thailand was found unconscious in the street after fainting and hitting his head on the ground.

Passers by helped the injured vendor who

Passersby help injured vendor who was suffering with a bleeding forehead. He regained consciousness but couldn’t give any statement.

The pillowseller-who was believed to be in his 50s-was given first aid and taken to Banglamung Hospital for a check up.

Witnesses stated that the man sold pillows in the area and that afternoon he suddenly fainted and knocked his head to the ground. Thankfully passers by stopped and called for medical assistance.

Recent reports have revealed that a lone man tragically died the other week while attempting to change a duvet cover.

The man, who is not married and does not live with his parents, is thought to not only live alone but to have been alone at the time of the incident.

It has been said that the man from Gonerby Village, Lincs, was already near exhaustion as he had washed the very same duvet cover just that very afternoon.

A spokeswoman for the Women’s Institute is thought to have said that men should not attempt this kind of operation without strict supervision.

Duvet and Pillow Warehouse has a wide range of different bedding products on their website and some fantastic offers during the autumn months.

If you are worried about washing your duvet and fear you may suffer the same fatal problem then head down to Duvet and Pillow Warehouse and purchase a brand new cosy duvet all at low cost prices.

From duvets, pillows, mattress toppers and bed linen, there is something for everyone at the bedding specialist and we are sure you won’t walk away empty handed.

A thief is targeting residents pegging out their washing.

The laundry thief is scouring through the town of Dorking leaving residents short of clothing and bed linen, as well as knickers, socks, pricey suits, and shirts from the communal washing line in South Terrace.

Some residents have also had sheets, duvets and pillow cases pinched while their backs were turned.

One resident, Jo Dawson, said she had to fork out £3,000 replacing lost clothing and bedding.

The fashion thief starting his stealing just six months ago, leaving residents puzzled and confused.

After a while, the thief laid low for a while leaving residents to feel confident about pegging their washing out again.

But last Wednesday the thief struck again stealing five pairs of jeans, duvets and pillows, bedsheets, all her underwear – apart from every other sock – were stolen.

Miss Dawson, 38, said, “The last two or three times everything I have put out has gone. I have put the washing out and come back a short time later and it has all gone.

“It calmed down but it has started happening again and we are really infuriated by it. It has cost us a fortune.

“We have had the police round and they believe it is someone loitering or living here nearby flats.

“They are obviously watching our movements and nicking the whole lot when we have gone.”

She added that the thief is very fussy about the items they take, only stealing dry clothes leaving wet garments hanging.

Miss Dawson added, “We are getting to the point were we are at the end of our tethers.”

Miss Dawson is not the only person affected. One neighbour had a £500 crocheted swiped off the line.

Another resident who wish to remain anonymous said she was very puzzled by the thefts.

She said, “What is odd is that it is not as though the washing line is in full view, so the people that are doing it must know the area.”

Police say they are treating the crime seriously.

John Tadman, Mole Valley neighbourhood sergeant, said, “Although this may seem like a petty crime to some, we are treating this seriously. The value of the thefts now appears into the excess of thousands of pounds.

“Surrey Police is also working with Mole Valley District Council to put in place preventive measures to stop this crime happening again.”

Over the last year, sales of full-length night garments have soared by 30 per cent, according to a new survey.

Sales of women’s pyjama’s have trebled in the past decade from £32 million to £93 million.

And men’s pyjama sales have gone up from £22 million to £33 million in the past decade, with a huge boom in the past year.

“We’ve definitely seen an increased demand for men’s pyjama’s over the last year,” says David Binns of Marks and Spencers.

“Classic cotton pyjama’s are always firm favourites, but most of our customers now tend to go for more contemporary jersey options- T-shirts, draw cord style, long and short-leg bottoms-to rest, relax and sleep in.”

And part of the reason people have been buying pjyama’s is due to the credit crunch. People are spending more time at home, relaxing around the house while keeping warm at the same time.

Many people are purchasing some of their very own pj’s in a bid to keep warm and reduce the heating bills.

“Last year, we didn’t turn the heating on until mid-November,” says David Cameron’s wife Samantha. “We had hot-water bottles and extra blankets, and the children wore proper pyjamas and slippers.”

And we at Duvet and Pillow Warehouse want you to be fully wrapped up this winter without splashing out too much cash.

Our duvet and pillow prices have been slashed during the autumn so you can get the most out of your bedding and keep warm and cosy during the winter months.

There are so many different types of duvets and pillows on offer including feather bedding, memory foam mattress bedding to keep you super warm and cosy during the winter.

This season, designers from around the world looked toward the Land of Nod for inspiration when designing the latest trends and fashions for that autumn look.

Yes, those matchy-matchy striped pajamas and woollen bed socks struck the attention of some of the most prestigious designers in the land.

Now we (as always) can see exactly why they would pick the bedroom and all its fun accessories as inspiration because we look for inspiration, style and comfort in there every single day.

All of our bedding pillows, duvet covers, sheets and mattresses are completely designed with your comfort in mind so you get a good night’s sleep.

The new autumn styles for this season are centred around the place where everyone wants to be as the summer draws to a close. Lying-in is always a fun activity (and sometimes a bit rebellious) for many of us, but we don’t get the chance to do it. Now, with the autumn look resembling your jim jams and hot water bottle, you will feel like you have never got out of bed every day.

Keeping the bedroom as comfy and as cosy as possible is very important if you want a good night’s sleep. Make sure that you choose the right bedding pillows to support your neck and back and the comfiest duvet to keep you warm during the winter nights.

At Duvet and Pillow Warehouse, we seem to find everything there is to know about the world behind the bedroom door, and we mean everything!

Our daily blog posts don’t just hover around bed covers, pillows and advice and information on bedding, we look at everything funny, cool, bizarre, strange, weird, ugly and pretty to give you a laugh, cry, smile, shock or surprise.

Well we have really taken this blog post for a spin when it comes to the world of bedrooms! We found this Australian hyperrealist sculptor that has taken the world by storm with his fantastic and realistic sculptures of the human body.

He reproduces the minute detail of the human body, playing with the scale to create disconcertingly jarring visual images.

And like you have probably guess already, we found the life like sculptures of people in bed the best by far! We do have a life outside of our job, it’s just we find everything there is to know about beds interesting and want to tell you all about it too.

Here are a couple of pics that took our fancy.

When we think of investing in the room we sleep in, many people go for the best quality mattress a comfy and cosy duvet and make do with some half hearted pillows that last a few months and don’t support your neck and back to give you a decent night’s sleep.

It is so important to invest in a good pillow but everyone has their own way of sleeping and type of pillow they like, so we have come up with some options available for you to buy when choosing the perfect pillow.

Many people hold on to their pillows for far too long and end up losing valuable sleep because they are uncomfortable. Most pillows should be replaced every two years, with cheaper pillows replaced more frequently.

If your pillow no longer has any bounce then it is time to throw it out. If you fold it in half, does it bounce back or gradually return to its shape or does it fall back to its shape at all?

Firm or Soft?

The wrong pillow can ruin your sleep and a pillow that is too soft or too flat can cause neck pain, and one that is to stiff or too high can cause back pain.

The right pillow for you will support your neck comfortably. The size and firmness required will depend on both your personal physiology and on the way you sleep. Some people prefer a soft and fluffy pillow while others prefer one that is firmer.

If you sleep on your stomach than a soft pillow is probably your best option. People who sleep on their backs require something a lot firmer. Side sleepers require the most support and hence an even firm, higher pillow.

Pillow Fillings

There are a wide variety of pillow fillings on the market, both natural and synthetic. Whatever your preference make sure that what you buy is of high quality.

Most cheap pillows either offer no support or are too rigid and lack comfort. A good pillow should conform to your natural contours and provide full support for your head.

Memory Foam

A good option would be to choose a memory foam pillow. A memory foam pillow shapes to the natural contours of your head when lay upon. The material reacts with the heat of your body and repositions itself if you move throughout the night. Memory foam pillows are great for side sleepers.

Pillow Cases

Don’t forget about the pillow case as not only is it the part that everyone sees, it is also the material you lie on and breathe in while you sleep. If you suffer from allergies it may be a good idea to invest in a hyperallergenic pillow. These reduce the amount of dust mites that live in your pillow giving you that perfect night’s sleep with no sneezing or loss of breath.
