Winter is fast approaching and in due time, you would have to change your sheets, blankets and comforters to keep warm during this season. The right kind of beddings will be a factor to how you achieve comfort while sleeping.

In winter time, beddings made of fleece or wool are best recommended. They absorb heat and thus keep you warm. If you have the capacity to splurge, silk and satin make the best beddings, too. They give the room style and elegance and silk is safe for those who suffer from winter allergies since it is hypoallergenic. Cotton beddings are not useful during cold weathers because they do not keep the heat insulated under the mattress.

According to this report, firm mattresses are best in reducing the risks that may befall babies while they are tucked in their bed or crib. Parents are also advised to put less of the frills on baby cribs, such as too many pillows or stuffed animals, because while they may look cute or provide comfort, your babies may be left helpless among these accessories.

Dust mites are the leading cause of allergy in the house hold and you have the power to keep it from affecting you and your family:

• Enclose your mattresses, including your pillows, with a hypoallergenic barrier. If you own a box spring, make sure that your comforters and duvets are made of hypoallergenic materials as well. The full encasement will reduce mites from inhibiting the area, keeping your sleep sanctuary free from it
• Wash your beddings in warm water of about 130°F, to ensure that germs and mites are killed. Do this weekly. For mattress pads and heavier blankets, do this biweekly.

Inflatable mattresses are great for when you’re having guest sleeping over. However, it’s not so great when you let a tiny baby sleep on it.

Mississippi authorities are investigating the death of a seven month old baby who apparently died after the inflatable mattress the child was sleeping on deflated. The tragedy comes as SIDS awareness month draws to a close. Local health and safety officials urge everyone to be aware of unsafe practices that can kill infants .

Break out the electric blankets and the electric heating pads! Winter is here. But also be aware that with an increased use for these, safety must also be a priority.

Many fire hazards and accidents take place during the holidays because  of sheer carelessness and lack of awareness with handling heated mattress pads and blankets. To keep you and your family safe,  make sure that these are unplugged when not in use, to prevent fire from erupting in the bedroom. Also, avoid plugging the pads in sockets which are already full so as not to overload it. This may cause your electric current to spark and fire will ensue.

It seems that in these times, bedding manufacturers can make anything for the bed. Such as this fabric made of seaweed and Lyocell (wood pulp), to create what is called the Seacell fabric.

With 5% content of seaweed in the fabric, the skin will supposedly absorb more vitamins and nutrients and the company has incorporated this in their bedding collection, travel blankets as well as clothing options.
