Sleep Stories

Over the past few months we've been launching an enchanting series of bedtime stories, each one of which embodies our commitment to sustainability, nature, craftsmanship - and to you, our customers. Our stories describe the magic behind the creation of our award-winning products, and we invite you to share in the warmth behind each one. Read our blog to find out more.

Discover how embracing the journey to exceptional sleep can transform your nightly rest into a springboard for creativity, personal growth, and the realisation of dreams.

Did you know that we spend around one third of our lives alseep? But not everybody sleeps the same way and some of us only dream in black and white. Find out more surprising facts about our sleep and how our sleep compares to our fellow mammals.

Rick and his partner are motorhome enthusiasts and, now that they are retired, travel regularly in their motorhome all over the UK and mainland Europe. However, they are finding the mattress of the bed in the motorhome is too thin and hard, and this is affecting the quality of their sleep. Rick contacted us to see if we could make a bespoke wool mattress topper to fit the bed and add a layer of comfort.

Michelle contacted us because she has a memory foam mattress but is finding that this makes her very hot during the warmer months and this is disrupting her sleep. Memory foam is synthetic so can trap heat around your body, and this is what is making Michelle feel hot. She was thinking of saving up for a new mattress, made with natural fibres, but then she read about the temperature regulating properties of wool toppers.

Did you know that wool duvet tog ratings work differently from other types of duvets?  That means you might have to re-think what 'weight' of wool duvet you need for a great night's sleep. Read our guide to find out more about wool tog ratings and which might work best for you.

This is the next in our series of 'Sleep Stories' and is about our customer, Jim,  who called us about a common problem with finding the right pillow. Here's how we helped.

We mentioned in a previous blog that we would be sharing some of the Sleep Stories from our customers, as it may help you to find the solution to your own Sleep Story.

Everybody has their own Sleep Story - and we speak to customers every day about theirs. At Devon Duvets we want our customers to achieve a better quality of sleep, and this is why we put so much love and care into individually handcrafting our award-winning duvets, toppers and pillows, here in our Devon workshops.

Although we are all individuals, each of us with our own life journey, talents and quirks, we all have one very important thing in common. We all need our sleep. Sleep is critical for our wellbeing – physically, mentally and emotionally and is as vital to us now as it was thousands of years ago.
