As winter approaches, many of us are looking for cost-effective ways to stay warm without relying heavily on central heating or electronics. Judith Ackers, a sleep and bed expert at Land of Beds, shares valuable advice on how to keep warm and cozy during the cold nights without breaking the bank.
One often overlooked tip Judith recommends for staying warm and comfortable in bed during winter is proper layering of bedding. Additionally, she suggests using a specific product to enhance the effectiveness of this method on chilly nights.

Layering bedding not only helps in retaining heat but also ensures a cozy night’s sleep. Judith specifically recommends using a weighted blanket to further enhance warmth retention.
According to Judith, the key is to start with a fitted sheet, add a blanket, and then place the winter duvet on top. The weighted blanket should be positioned under the duvet to allow for optimal heat trapping and adjustability based on personal warmth levels throughout the night.
The recommended weighted blanket, the Emma Hug King Size Weighted Blanket from Land of Beds, is currently discounted by £20, offering both comfort and warmth with its innovative design.
This weighted blanket, designed to provide a soothing effect akin to a hug, aims to relax the mind and body through deep pressure simulation, promoting relaxation and improved sleep quality.
Experts at Land of Beds suggest selecting a weighted blanket that is approximately 10% of your body weight for optimal comfort. The Emma Hug King Size Weighted Blanket, weighing 7kg, features a filling of Silica glass beads for even weight distribution and quilted microfiber pockets for enhanced breathability.
