**Collaborative Post** 

For the millions of UK residents suffering from allergies, finding a solution that effectively minimises symptoms can seem like an impossible task. Although it is often overlooked, the pillow protector is one of the most effective ways to help keep your allergies under control. These specialised covers create a barrier between you and any potential allergens that can trigger uncomfortable symptoms during sleep.

The Science of Sleep Hygiene: How to Keep Your Bed Fresh and Clean

**Collaborative Post**

Most people focus on diet and exercise for a healthy lifestyle, but one crucial aspect is often overlooked, a good nights sleep and that includes where you sleep. Many of us underestimate how important a good night sleep is for our body and how much work our bodies do for us when we are sleeping. A fresh and clean sleeping space can improve overall well-being, helping you wake up feeling refreshed and energised. A dirty bed can lead to allergies, discomfort, and poor sleep quality. Dust, sweat, and bacteria build up over time, making it essential to keep your sleeping environment as clean as possible.

Here are some practical tips to maintain freshness and ensure a more comfortable night’s rest.

Soak & Sleep Bedding **REVIEW**

It doesn't get much better than fresh new bed sheets when you slip in to bed, so when we were offered some new bedding from the Soak & Sleep range I jumped at the chance!

Soak & Sleep aim to provide fantastic bed and bath products for a lot less than those on the high street whilst still maintaining a high quality. Soak & Sleep have stripped away the glossy advertising and fancying bags instead opting for their team to travel the planet and commission the finest products they could find at the prices they could afford keeping luxury in mind. The Soak & Sleep aim is simple, gorgeous home comforts, honestly priced, all powered by great customer service and that is exactly what you receive with Soak & Sleep. 

Our bedroom is quite neutral in colour (we are hoping to add a feature wall but can't decide on wall paper!) so I went for this gorgeous grey luxury embroidered bed linen and a beautiful quilted bedspread to accompany it in the stone colourway.

When the items arrived I could immediately tell these were top quality! They arrived quickly and well packaged with the bedspread coming in a large clear plastic zip bag which could easily be saved and used to store the bedspread when not in use.

The bed linen features a beautiful embroidered design which is finished with a flourish of mother of pearl buttons for that elegant touch. This has a 220 thread count and is amazingly soft. The design is chic and classic with the elegant touches from the embroidery, makes this a lovely set which could easily fit in to so many decor styles and feels amazing.

We ordered the double size to fit our bed and it fit perfectly. The pillows didn't slip around in the case and the duvet was secured with the   at the bottom of the duvet cover keeping everything in place throughout the night.

I haven't had a bed spread on my bed before but I am not sure I could ever be without now I have one! It really finishes off the bed and the over all look of the room. The Classic cotton quilted bedspread is a beautiful, vintage-style bedspread with a practical cotton casing which is washable too. I have found it the perfect thickness to sleep under in the summer too when the duvet is just too warm.

Gro-To-Bed bedding **REVIEW**

**AD - Review**

Moving a child from their cosy cot into a big bed for the first time feels like such a huge step. I remember the day I first moved Evelyn and it felt like such a big move, not to mention how small she looked in the big single bed. 

Wayfair - Lily Cot bed **REVIEW**

I really cannot believe how quickly Evelyn is growing!

We recently reached another new big step as she is growing and that was moving her in to a cot. She had most definitely out grown her swinging crib and spent a short time in her travel cot as we sorted out her moving in to her own room.

The cot Evelyn moved in to is this one ( Obaby Lily Cot bed in Country Pine).

The cot bed is a lovely rich pine colour and is really sturdy and well made. It came packaged well and once taken out of the (well padded) box it was pretty simply to put together. It does require 2 people more for just holding the parts in place rather than it being difficult. The instructions were clear and as the holes for the screws were in a place it was simply a case of popping the correct screws in the correct holes and it was done. It took 2 of us (myself and my husband) around 20 minutes to assemble!

This cot does not come with a mattress so this would need to be brought separately (you can also buy these at Wayfair.co.uk so you could order it at the same time if you wanted). However it is priced at just £107.99 (price correct at time of posting this) so a very reasonable price. 

The Obaby Lily cot bed measurements are 75cm Height x 125cm Width x 17cm Depth so a really good size. It also fits a standard size mattresss ( 120cm by 60cm) so it is relatively easy to purchase one that fits and means there are plenty of choices. 

The Obaby Lily cot is a traditional style cot which is suitable from birth and has 3 height settings that are quickly and easily adjusted as baby grows. 

We absolutely love the Lily cot bed. It is a good quality sturdy bed for our little girl and has a lovely smooth varnished finish with teething rails fitted to both sides ensuring the cot doesn't get damaged if baby does decide to take a nibble. I can tell just by the look and feel of this cot just how well made and durable it is going to be. 

Wayfair don't just sell cots! They are the place to go for all your furnishing needs indoors and out. Why not pop over and check out all the great items they have to offer via the website here - www.wayfair.co.uk.
