Bedlinen tips
Quality linen has natural thermal qualities keeping you cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Thread count can be confusing - the quality of cotton used is more important than a high thread count.
Hang freshly laundered linen in the sun to dry and then slip straight onto the bed for a relaxed, crumpled look.
Allergy sufferers should wash bedlinen in water that's been heated to 55 degrees Celsius as it's this is the temperature that dust mites are killed.
