Why making your bed is important

The way you make your bed affects the look of your bedroom, but also your sleep quality. A tidy bed contributes to a calm and relaxing environment. Changing your bed is also an essential task to keep it fresh and hygienic. When you make your bed daily and change it regularly, you prevent the build-up of dust and dirt, which is important for your health.

Tips for making your bed

Nothing feels better than climbing into a well-made bed in the evening, but that does take a little effort in the morning. Here are some tips for making your bed, so it's always the shining centrepiece of your bedroom:

• Start with the mattress: Make sure your mattress is properly positioned, so it doesn't hang half off your bed. This helps your bed look neat.
• Arrange the bedding neatly: Fold back your duvet to let your bed air out, or make it up neatly, smoothing out the duvet cover by hand.
• Fluff up the pillow: Pillows can make all the difference. Shake them out well and place them neatly back on the bed.
• Use simple accessories: A simple throw can instantly make your bed look stylish, without much effort.

Tips for changing your bed

Making and changing your bed go hand in hand. Changing your bed is the first step towards a bed that feels and looks fresh. We also have some practical tips for changing your bed:

• Wash your bedding regularly: Put your bedding in the wash once every two weeks. Increase the frequency if you suffer from night sweats or allergies, so your bed always stays fresh.
• Use the right wash programme: Wash your duvet at 60°C for stubborn dirt. This ensures bacteria and allergens are properly removed, keeping your bed clean and hygienic.
