Don’t we all love abit of faux fur?? Adding faux fur to your bed is literally like wrapping yourself up in a luxury cloud.
The most appealing thing about faux fur is its incredibly soft texture whilst not harming animals! It promotes warmth and comfort as you snuggle up with it like being a baby with your fav blankie but the adult version lol!
Faux fur, alongside its luxurious feeling, is also good for its practical benefits. Not only do they provide a massive layer of insulation for the colder months but it also provides a good decor piece to your bedroom!

Beyond it’s obvious appeal, faux fur evokes a sense of comfort and nostalgia, when you lay down it allows you to fully unwind and escape from the stresses of the day until you drift off into your peaceful slumber.

The best part about using a non fitted sheet is the way it significantly enhances the overall aesthetic of your bed. Whether you like the look of crisp white linens that hotels have or personalised to your specific bedroom scheme, non fitted sheets allow you to express and explore it all.

have to start with the mattress. It’s not just about having a place to sleep, Investing in a good quality mattress will create a comfortable and supportive environment that is the start to promoting rejuvenation.
