As winter approaches and the nights start getting colder, now is the ideal time to update your bedroom with new bedding.

It’s coming up for the time to put away your thinner summer duvet and get out your warmer winter one. However, if it’s been stored away for six months it may have lost some of its plumpness so why not consider replacing it with a brand new one?

At Duvet and Pillow Warehouse we have a wide range of options available if you’re looking to replace your old quilt. Our luxury Hungarian goose down duvets are perfect for that touch of luxury and make your bedroom feel like a 5 star hotel, or if you’re looking for a more value for money option consider one of our goose feather and down duvets which allow you to get a good night’s sleep without breaking the bank!

If your mattress is becoming less firm, we have a range of mattress toppers which can extend the life of your mattress so you don’t need to replace it as often. Microfibre, goose and duck feather and memory foam options are available so there is something for every budget.

From luxurious silk pillowcases to 100% Egyptian cotton sheets, Duvet and Pillow Warehouse has everything you need to freshen up the look of your bedroom and make sure your get a relaxing night’s sleep every night!

An innovative Ministry of Justice (MoJ) scheme for purchasing mattresses and pillows for prisons has won two prestigious awards.

The department’s Zero Waste Mattress Project won the Guardian newspaper’s Public Service Award for Sustainability on Tuesday, a week after it took the procurement gong at the 2009 Civil Service Awards.

The project involves replacing old and worn mattresses and pillows, which are difficult and costly to dispose of, with new, higher specification ones, the overall cost of which includes disposal. The MoJ expects this to achieve annual savings of £1.2 million.

Since bedding for the 85,000 offenders in UK prisons has to be highly fire retardant, as well as containing no parts that could be used for self harm, suicide, concealment of contraband or harm to others, it could not simply be incinerated. The Prison Service was binning 40,000 used mattresses and pillows each year – the equivalent of 31 double-decker buses going to landfill.

Here at the Duvet & Pillow Warehouse blog, we get so wrapped up in the world of bedding and all the quirky goings-on that sometimes, we forget to remind our readers just how amazing our products are!

This Christmas, forget your Playstations, iPods and snazzy sweaters – have you not thought about getting your loved one a snug, sumptuous Mulberry Silk duvet? Or how about a Goose Down Dual Chamber Topper, made just for us, all cased in 100% cotton, double stitched and piped. Or what about our Luxury Hungarian pillows -  exceptionally soft, thoroughly lump free and truly long lasting.

And remember, if you share the same bed with the person you’re buying for, you’re effectively treating yourself! How clever is that?

We’re continually proud of our outrageously comfortable duvets, pillows and accessories which are designed for your delight – and we’re still the cheapest in the UK.

Order for Christmas now and you’ll receive free delivery when spending over £20!

A night without our snug and sumptuous duvets makes us want to shudder, but when it’s for a good cause, we’re more than happy to spread the word!

At the end of this month, hundreds will surrender their comfy bedding in the name of charity and instead spend the night in a cardboard box at one of London’s best known markets to raise cash for street children in Brazil.

The 12-hour mass sleep out will be the first of its kind at the prestigious Spitalfields Market, and will hopefully raise £15,000 for the ABC Trust which works with some of Brazil’s estimated seven million street children and vulnerable young people.

The Big City Sleep starts at 6pm on Monday 30th November when sleepers will secure their spot before learning more about the ABC Trust and enjoying music from Brazilian band Zeep and a capoeira demonstration from the East London Capoeira Group – plus a hot meal before they bed down for a cold night to provide for a great cause.

As the summer season (or what summer we had!) comes to an end and the cold nights and dark mornings set in, the thought of getting out of our cosy bed under the warm duvet is something any of us want to think about, let alone do.

On top of this, many of us are trying to save as much money as we can and are saving energy by using less water and heat in the home. As cost effective as this is, it doesn’t really keep us warm through those long winter nights, and many of us don’t have sufficient enough bedding to keep us snug and warm each night.

At Duvet and Pillow Warehouse, we live for beds and know exactly what makes a bed comfortable and cosy. We have a wide range of bedding products such as duvets and pillows, memory foam toppers and bed linen to ensure you get the most comfort each and every night.

To make sure that you wrap up this winter, Duvet and Pillow Warehouse have come up with some top tips and idea for bedding products for you to buy in your home.

The Comfort of Down

Down is light and fluffy and able to retain just the right degree of warmth for most bodies, making it one of the best products for comfortable bedding.

Prices on down products can vary drastically but at Duvet and Pillow Warehouse, they have the the best quality down products at the lowest prices in comparison to their competitors.

We recommend 100 per cent pure white goose down bedding for complete luxury and ultimate comfort.

Down products are often not recommended for people who suffer with allergies, but a good company will ensure the materials are washed and properly cared for to reduce the dust, dirt and allergens before they sell it on to you.

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.
