Making the most of your extra hour in bed

SUMMER is finally coming to a close. Whether you welcome the new season with open arms or begrudge the short days and dark nights, with the clocks going back this weekend, there has never been a better time to celebrate the season with an extra hour in bed.

Lazy Sundays in bed are what autumn was made for, so make sure you are making the most of it – with a comfortable and stylish bed that you won’t want to leave.

The Sleep Council has highlighted research that suggests beds as little as seven years old may have had their day when it comes to comforting and supporting your body during sleep. At Leekes you’ll find a fantastic range of more than 60 divans and mattresses to improve your night’s sleep.

With the days getting colder, it may be time to consider updating your duvet. Try the Casa all-season micro-fibre duvet, designed to ensure a perfectly restful night’s sleep. No matter what time of year it is this synthetic microfibre all-season duvet is an ideal alternative to down. With a 9 + 4.5 tog, the duvet is ideal for saving time, effort and money providing ultimate flexibility whatever the weather.

Create the perfect sleep environment. Having a busy room filled with bold colours may be affecting how quickly you nod off. Opt for calming colours for a soothing slumber. From pale pink walls to beautiful blue bedding, choose soft shades that suit your personal taste for a slumber sanctuary.

No morning in bed would be complete without the obligatory breakfast. Whether you are surprising a special someone or just treating yourself, be prepared to enjoy every last second of your Sunday with breakfast in bed.
