Some of my favourite “me time” moments have been spent losing myself in a new captivating fantasy world, cocooned in the comfort of butter soft bedding. I think that most of us can agree that reading a great book in bed is one of life’s greatest pleasures, a pleasure that coincidently also has a positive effect on our sleep. Research has shown that people who read in bed have better overall sleep quality and also experience fewer problems staying asleep.
As a bookworm who enjoys a cosy space I was naturally elated when organic and fairtrade company Cottsbury reached out to me about their new sustainable luxury bedding collection.
I received the “White Classic Organic Cotton Sateen Weave Bedding Set” and the “Warm Taupe Oxford Organic Cotton Sateen Weave Pillowcases”, both of which are crafted from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton and have a 300 thread count. Cottsbury is dedicated to using only natural materials in their products, right down to the coconut shell buttons on the bedsheets. The silky soft bedding is packaged in beautiful organic cotton bags made using surplus fabric from Cottsbury’s own bedding range, effectively minimising waste. This commitment to eco-friendly practices and attention to detail adds a wonderful layer of thoughtfulness to the entire experience of owning and enjoying their products.
Both the farm (located in Kalahandi, Odissa in India) and factories (located in Kolkata and Greater Noida) utilised by Cottsbury for production are Fairtrade certified. Cottsbury hold both third-party and independent audits of their suppliers on a yearly basis and visit the factories at least twice a month to ensure that they are up to social and ethical standards.
Passionate Tips for Reading Comfortably in Bed:
Reading in bed is a beautiful experience that allows you to escape into different worlds and expand your imagination. For maximum comfort while indulging in your favourite book, make sure to have a cozy pile of pillows to support your back and elevate your head. Create the perfect mood with soft lighting and a warm blanket to keep you snug, and consider using a bookstand or a pillow to support your arms and hold the book at eye level. Enjoy!
The bedding in the images was gifted by Cottsbury and is genuinely loved. Help support businesses that support the environment and make it a social norm to shop responsibly and sustainably.
