Quality sleep. We all crave it, yet few of us actually get enough of it. You may have tried all sort of methods to tackle poor sleep, but you could be overlooking one thing – your duvet. After all, we snuggle under it every night – surely, it plays a pivotal role in whether we get quality slumber. So in our never-ending quest for a good night’s sleep, we ask… is an expensive duvet worth it?
When it comes to which are the best duvets – synthetic, feather and down, or wool – opinions abound, and the choices can be overwhelming. But how much can our duvet selection truly affect sleep quality? Quite a bit, says clinical psychologist Dr Daniel Glazer from UK Therapy Rooms. ‘This simple bedding piece plays a subtle yet absolutely critical role in cultivating quality sleep by helping regulate body temperature throughout the night,’ he says.
‘Overheat, and we’re restlessly tossing and turning; get too chilly, and we're shivering ourselves awake. Either extreme ends up draining our energy reserves, leaving us feeling far from refreshed when it's time to face the next day,’ Dr Daniel continues.
