Summer Bedding Do's & Don'ts

It’s important to have summer bedding. Your sleep needs tend to change with the seasons, so don’t use your winter bedding in the summer. Instead opt for light, breathable fabrics. Whether you prefer cotton or linen is a personal choice. Light colors help deflect heat, keeping you cool throughout the night. Goose down pillows are a lovely addition because they’re comfortable and cool throughout the night.
One of the most important bedding items is your duvet! There is such a thing as a summer duvet, which is light and breathable and keeps you surprisingly cool while giving you the comfort of being covered. Some companies even make an ultralight duvet which is even more light and airy. Investing luxury down bedding means you'll have a bed you'll love getting in to and that is not something you should compromise on. Goose down duvets not only feel like a fluffy cloud, they grow with you through the seasons. What keeps you warm and insulated in the winter is light and airy enough to keep you cool in the summer. The high-quality natural fibers are more resilient than a common quilted duvet. When you’re choosing a duvet cover, it’s best to choose a cotton or linen in a light color to maintain the airiness.
