NIGHTS are drawing in and there’s a definite nip in the air.
But before you crank up the heating and send your bills soaring, try these cheap tricks for a cosy feeling and a restful night’s sleep.
Five savvy ways to stay warm at night without cranking up the heating[/caption]
DUVET DEALS: The quickest way to winter warmth is a higher tog duvet.
The perfect tog count for chilly months is 13.5.
You can pick up the Slumberdown Sleep Soundly duvet, down to £28 from £13.97, at Asda, now.
LAYER UP: Don’t underestimate the power of a simple fleece blanket thrown over your duvet.
Primark’s super-soft fleece blankets are a steal at just £4.
These are perfect for adding an extra layer of warmth on chilly nights and are much cheaper than buying an electric blanket.
Plus, they’re easy to whip off if you get too warm.
If you need more heat, the self-heating thermal mattress topper, on offer at Wowcher.co.uk, is £14.99 down from £39.99.
PILLOW POWER: If your pillows are looking flat, it’s time for an upgrade.
B&M is selling a pair of Simply Everyday Easy Care pillows for a bargain £1, just make sure you fluff them up first.
For a budget-friendly refresh of your existing bedding, try putting your current pillows through a warm wash with a cup of white vinegar to restore some fluffiness and remove odours.
Leave the pillows to dry on a rack and give them a shake a few times during the drying process.
HOT WATER HACK: For warmth that lasts for hours, fill a hot water bottle before bed.
But don’t just put it at your feet.
Place it in the centre of your bed about 30 minutes before you get in.
This warms the core area where your body needs it most.
Find quality fluffy hot water bottles for £7 at Dunelm right now.
BED SOCKS: It might sound simple, but a pair of cosy bed socks can make all the difference on a cold night.
Home Bargains sells packs of two fleecy pairs for just £2.50.
Warm feet helps your whole body feel cosy and might help you nod off faster.
