The Best Duvet Covers To Transform Your Bedroom (And Get A Good Night’s Sleep!)

A good night's sleep is an elusive thing, no matter how much This Works Pillow Spray we douse on the problem, it can be tricky to get comfortable in bed.

Don't worry though, just because you're not a millionaire doesn't mean you have to suffer chronic back pain.

Here's a few ways to make sure your bed is the dreamland that you and your hard working(ish) self deserve.

1. Get a double duvet

The purpose of the double duvet even on a single bed is threefold. Firstly, it stops you from getting those horrid night chills that happen when you turn over and expose a part of your body to the arctic conditions of your poorly-heated room.

Secondly, if your mattress is bad then you can wrap yourself up in it, burrito style, for extra padding. Thirdly, if you have a friend sleeping over, it makes fitting two people in a single bed much, much more palatable.

2. Get a mattress topper

The standard IKEA one is easily foldable, although at £65, it's not the cheapest. This Argos one is probably the best value for money (and can be folded if you have a single bed) although you might be scrimping on quality.

Bear in mind that using a mattress topper like this might make fitted sheets come un-fitted easily so perhaps invest in some of these handy clips to keep it in place. For those really on a budget, just buy a piece of foam and cut it to size. You can use the leftovers to make a Halloween costume or something.

3. Get jersey sheets

One of life's great mysteries is why we still use cotton sheets in a day and age when jersey sheets exist, and have existed for most of our lives. Rather than those scratchy new starchy sheets that feel like you're laying your body down to rest on a bed of teeny tiny cacti, jersey sheets are like diving into the sort of lovely washing baskets you only see on laundry detergent adverts. Plus, they're cheap. Get singles here for £4.95.

4. Get a throw

If your house or flat is drafty, a double-layer duvet is an ideal way to ward away the chills but if you're not made of money make do with a thermal throw. Heat Holder blankets are specially designed to retain heat. Which is nice.

5. Get a million pillows

The best way to polish a turd? Cover up all the elements that make it a turd. Basically, give yourself the ability to make your bed into a giant pillow fort. IKEA's cheapest plushy offering comes at £1. Buy ten.
