Five Star Bed: the Silk Duvet

I can do without a lot of things.

A good night's sleep ain't one of them.

It's what makes or breaks my day.

And since my rest is dependent on the little one's sleep,

I don't take any chances when it comes

to choosing pillows, bedding and duvets...

...and making his bed as cosy, healthy and inviting as possible.

Baby's Five Star Bed

1. Go Natural

Choose bedding, duvets and pillows made from natural fibres,

like pure cotton, wool and silk.

Natural fibres reduce the risks of allergies and asthma

and provide a healthy cocoon for your little one.

2. Get the Right Duvet

Children can wake up a lot during the night

if they are too cold or too hot in their beds.

So choosing the right duvet according to the room's temperature

is very important for a comfortable night's sleep.

{for room temperatures between 16-22°C,

a medium fill duvet (autumn-spring) should be just right}

3. Be Light

Contrary to popular belief,

layers and heavy bedding won't provide a good night's sleep.

Bedding should be lightweight and comfortable

for the child to be able to move freely without feeling squashed.

The Mulberry Silk Duvet

Silk Bedding Direct recently sent us a mulberry silk cotbed duvet to try
and I can safely say I was amazed at its quality, softness & lushness
{the Toddler declared he loves the new "veeeery soft blanket"}.

Filled with top grade 100% mulberry silk strands
{each duvet has a little zipped compartment for you to touch and check the silk},
this hand sewn and finished duvet comes in a super soft cotton sateen casing
and is definitively the best duvet money can buy.

Mulberry silk is regarded as the best quality in the world
and has amazing benefits over other types of bedding:
it's hypoallergenic, self regulates temperature and naturally drapes,
and it's totally clean as dust mites and fungus cannot live in mulberry silk.

Plus, the silk's amino acids and sericin protein
nourish and protect your hair and skin as you sleep
{might have to persuade Mr K to invest in a king sized one for us}!
