CEBU, Philippines - The first step towards a comfortable sleep is to have a great bed, comfortable linens and quiet space. Sleep, after all, is a luxury, and while we are all familiar with basic bed linen, there are also what we call “The Whites†— duvets, comforters, bedspreads, quilts, and pillows.
SM Homeworld goes the wonderful white way with its collection of white beddings. Here’s a look at these, and how they can do wonders for your sleep.
• Duvets. A duvet is a type of blanket for a bed. It’s made like a large bag, usually of good quality high-thread count cotton, filled with feathers, down, silk, or wool, or polyfill. A duvet takes the place of a sheet or blanket, all in one piece. A bed dressed in a fluffy duvet almost guarantees a good night’s sleep.
• Comforters. A comforter is a bed cover stuffed with fibers or other materials and then sewed together at all four sides. This stuffing is added to create additional warmth and comfort on cold nights. A comforter is normally used as a major decorative element in the bedroom.
• Pillows. Bed pillows are very personal items. Some like them firm, some like them squishy. Pillows are so personal that lots of people wouldn’t dream of sleeping away from their home without their favorite pillow. Modern technology has brought about a new generation of pillows: anti-bacterial, memory pillows, therapeutic pillows. Whatever pillow you like, it’s best to take care of it, and it will give you years of relaxing pleasure.
• Mattress mates. Mattresses matter as well as accessories like mattress toppers, which give gentle molding to the shape of your body, and mattress protectors, which keep them safe, in tip top condition, and stain free.
• Bedspreads and coverlets. Bedspreads and coverlets are decorative bed coverings, the former reaching until the floor, and the latter just covering the bed.
The Whites collection is available at the Linen Section of the Homeworld Department located at SM Stores. Styles may vary per branch.
