DB Approved Bedding: Creating the Ultimate Sleep Sanctuary

Holistic Sleep for Optimal Health 

Getting a good night’s sleep is foundational for everything we do—whether it’s  glowing skin, balanced hormones, mental clarity, or just feeling ready to take on  the day. Sleep is the time when our bodies repair, regenerate, and restore, and  having the right bedding can make all the difference. I take a holistic approach to  sleep, seeing it as an essential pillar of well-being. If we want to feel our best, we  have to prioritize sleep, and one of the easiest ways to do that is by creating a  sanctuary designed for rest. The right bedding not only helps you fall asleep  faster, but it also ensures that your sleep is deeper and more restorative. 

The Holistic Benefits of Quality Sleep 

Sleep is when the body performs its “maintenance work.” Here are some reasons  why deep sleep is so crucial for our well-being: 

•  Cellular Repair: During deep sleep, the body regenerates cells and repairs  tissues. This is when growth hormone is released, which supports everything from  skin renewal to muscle recovery

•  Immune System Boost: Quality sleep helps the body fight off infections, as  our immune systems are strengthened while we sleep. More restful sleep means  fewer colds and quicker recovery times. 

•  Mental Clarity and Emotional Balance: Lack of sleep impacts both our  cognitive function and emotional regulation. When we prioritize sleep, we support  mental clarity, focus, and overall emotional resilience

Creating an environment that promotes a better night’s sleep involves focusing on  comfort, temperature control, and materials that feel gentle and luxurious on the  skin. 

Bedding Essentials for the Best Sleep 

Here are some of my DB Approved bedding options—each one selected to  elevate your sleep experience and create a calming sanctuary that encourages  restful, restorative slumber. 

1. NaturalMat Organic Bedding 

NaturalMat is all about luxurious comfort with a commitment to sustainability.  Their organic bedding is crafted with natural materials like organic cotton and  wool, which are perfect for creating a hypoallergenic, breathable sleeping 

environment. I particularly love their duvet covers for their soft touch and eco friendly quality. 

Why I Love It

•  Natural materials ensure a non-toxic sleep environment, perfect for those  with sensitive skin. 

•  Breathable and moisture-wicking, promoting a cool and restful sleep.

2. Bedfolk Cotton Linen Blend Bedding 

If you love soft bedding with a luxurious yet lived-in feel, Bedfolk’s cotton linen blend is a perfect choice. Their bedding is made from high-quality, sustainably  sourced cotton and linen, which makes it ideal for regulating body temperature  

through the seasons. It’s not just about aesthetics—this bedding is as practical as  it is beautiful, offering that laid-back luxury perfect for a holistic sleep space. 

Why I Love It

•  Luxuriously soft and designed to be lightweight for those who run hot during  sleep. 

•  The combination of linen and cotton creates a super comfortable texture  while being easy to care for. 

3. Rise & Fall Silk Pillowcases 

For those looking to reduce friction on the skin and hair while sleeping, Rise & Fall silk pillowcases are my go-to. Silk pillowcases help retain skin hydration, reduce  sleep creases, and prevent hair breakage—making them a worthy investment for  both comfort and beauty. They’re made from 100% mulberry silk, which means  they feel ultra-soft while also benefiting hair and skin health. 

Why I Love It

•  Reduces friction for anti-aging benefits and maintains hair health. •  Luxuriously soft and ideal for those with sensitive skin. 

4. Panda London Bamboo Duvet 

Panda London’s bamboo duvet is my ultimate choice for a sustainably sourced,  ultra-soft duvet. Bamboo is an incredible material—it’s antibacterial, hypoallergenic, and highly breathable, which makes it perfect for maintaining an  optimal sleeping temperature year-round. Plus, it’s a sustainable option, which  aligns perfectly with my goal of making conscious lifestyle choices.

Why I Love It

•  Bamboo is naturally breathable, helping regulate body temperature and  moisture. 

•  Environmentally friendly and super soft—great for a luxurious and green  sleeping experience. 

5. Marks and Spencer Washed Cotton Fired Earth Range 

For a budget-friendly option without compromising on comfort, the Marks and Spencer Fired Earth range is ideal. Their washed cotton bedding is soft,  breathable, and designed to provide that fresh, clean feeling every night. The  muted, earthy tones also help create a serene atmosphere in the bedroom. 

Why I Love It

•  Affordable and comfortable, making it accessible for anyone wanting a sleep  upgrade. 

•  The washed cotton is incredibly soft, providing comfort without the premium  price tag. 

6. The White Company Classic Bedding 

The White Company is a classic choice for anyone wanting simple, elegant, and  high-quality bedding. Their Classic Collection is crafted from high thread count  cotton that feels crisp and cool to the touch. The simplicity of their white bedding  

creates a calm, minimalist environment, perfect for unwinding after a long day. I  always believe that keeping colors simple in the bedroom helps contribute to a  more restful, clutter-free space. 

Why I Love It

•  Timeless, minimalist design that suits any bedroom style. 

•  High-quality materials that contribute to an overall luxurious sleep experience.

Tips for Creating Your Sleep Sanctuary 

•  Layer Thoughtfully: Use layers of bedding—like quilts, throws, and pillows—to  create a bed that feels plush and inviting. This also makes it easy to adjust your  temperature throughout the night. 

•  Keep It Cool: The ideal bedroom temperature for sleep is between 16-18°C  (60-65°F). Choose bedding materials that help regulate body temperature, such as cotton,  linen, or bamboo.

•  Choose Soothing Colors: Stick to neutral or muted tones in your bedding to create a  calming atmosphere. Soft blues, warm creams, or gentle grays help foster a sense of  tranquility. 

•  Go for Natural Fibers: Look for natural materials like cotton, linen, and bamboo to  ensure breathability. Avoid synthetic fabrics that can trap heat and make you sweat.
