There’s nothing quite like waking up feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead. But for many of us, that kind of sleep doesn’t come easily. We know how important sleep is to our overall wellbeing, yet so many of us struggle to get enough of it or the kind that leaves us feeling restored.
The good news? A few simple changes to your sleep environment can completely transform the way you rest.
Add a Touch of Luxury to Everyday Care
Crafted with precision and care, the UltimateCare 900 12KG Washing Machine (EWF1242R9SC) and 9kg UltimateCare 900 Heat Pump Dryer (EDH902R9SC) are designed to treat your garments with the same attention you would. From delicate silks to everyday cottons, each piece is cared for with tailored technology that helps preserve its beauty and longevity.The DelicatesPlus function in the UltimateCare 900 12KG Washing Machine (EWF1242R9SC) gently cleans using optimised drum movements and controlled spin speeds, reducing wear and tear to help extend the life of your fabrics – including your most cherished bedding.
Complementing this is the DelicateCare function in the 9kg UltimateCare 900 Heat Pump Dryer (EDH902R9SC), which precisely adjusts temperature and drum motion to suit each fabric. Silks maintain their graceful drape, , and water-repellent garments stay functional for longer.
Show your bedding some care
While fresh sheets are a weekly ritual in many households, other bedding essentials often get overlooked. Over time, duvets, pillows, sleepwear, and even mattress protectors can accumulate allergens, odours, and moisture, all of which can quietly disrupt the quality of our rest.The UltimateCare 900 Front load Washing Machine with Dryer (EWW1242R9SC) was designed with this in mind. Its DuvetCare 60 program uses gentle steam and controlled heat to deeply cleanse heavier items like duvets and comforters in just one hour.
Furthermore, the DuvetCare 60 feature uses heated vapour which helps reduce water and energy consumption* while removing odours like sweat and reducing dust mites in one simple programme resulting in a cleaner, fresher duvet, and more comfortable sleep.
*King-sized duvets are only suitable for 12/13 kg machines. Smaller*sized duvets suitable for all machines.
Build in small rituals
The Swedish concept of lagom - 'not too much, not too little' can help prepare you for rest. Whether it's a cup of herbal tea, ten minutes of reading, preparing your clothes for the next day or a gentle stretch before bed, small, repeated rituals help the body settle and the mind soften
The power of light
Natural light is a key part of how our bodies know when to sleep and when to wake. Try to get sunlight during the day, especially in the morning, and dim the lights in the evening to help signal to your body that it’s time to wind down.Soft, warm lighting in the bedroom can create a cocooning atmosphere that supports relaxation. If you're sensitive to light while sleeping, blackout curtains or an eye mask can help support deeper rest.
Embrace the Swedish Sleep Method
In Swedish homes, everything has its rightful place and that includes rest. Bedrooms are intentionally designed to evoke calm, with clean lines, soft textures, and a focus on simplicity over excess. To bring this sense of serenity into your own space, start by simplifying your sleep environment. Clear away clutter whether its clothes draped over a chair or scattered items on the floor.
A common sleep practice in Sweden is for couples to sleep with separate doonas even when sharing a bed. This simple idea lets each person sleep the way they want, whether curled up in a cosy cocoon or sprawled out for more space, without disturbing their partner. It’s an easy change that can make a big difference, helping both of you enjoy a more restful night.
