When spring arrives, those warmer days and crisp mornings are the perfect excuse to give our homes a refresh! And what better place to begin than the bedroom?
This season, it’s all about lightweight bedding layers that keep you comfortable. Packing away those heavy winter quilts and embracing breathable layers is the easiest way to sleep well, but let's take a look at some other simple, effective swaps to help you give your bedroom a mini spring makeover and wake up feeling refreshed!
1. Pack Away the Heavy Winter Quilt
Nothing says “seasonal refresh” like swapping out heavy winter quilts for breezier, lighter ones. It's the obvious first step as the chilly nights of winter fade - finding you can't sleep? Don't know which quilt is best? Lighter quilts made from breathable natural fibres will provide warmth on cooler nights without overheating you - for a more restful sleep.
The Creswick Luxury Pure Wool Quilt 350 GSM (Lavender Infused) is a perfect spring transition piece. Made with temperature-regulating wool and infused with calming lavender (the best essential oil for sleep), it keeps you cool when it’s warm and cosy when temperatures dip - exactly what you need for spring’s unpredictable weather. You can't go wrong with an Australian Made Quilt!
2. Ditch the Quilt on Warm Nights
With spring's ever-changing temperatures, a quilt may even begin to feel too hot on those warmer nights! How about opting for a naturally breathable wool blanket as a simple solution.
This vibrant green Essential Merino Wool Blanket in a classic check pattern, provides the perfect balance of warmth and airflow for hot sleepers, making it a temperature regulating piece that is ideal for layering or using on its own.
3. Have You Considered Swapping to Breathable Bed Sheets?
Spring is the ideal time to swap out your heavier cotton or flannel sheets for something lighter and airier. French Linen is naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and wonderfully soft, making it perfect for spring and summer.
For a crisp, relaxed feel, try the Creswick French Linen Sheet Set. Not only will it keep you comfortable, but linen also softens beautifully with every wash, making it a timeless spring bedding investment.
4. Refresh Throws with Patterns and Lighter Shades
Throw blankets are a simple but powerful way to update your bedroom for spring. Tuck away those winter tones and opt for classics like gingham and stripes or bring in a soft pastel for subtle charm.
We love the Alpaca Brushed Throw - a breathable, soft throw in shades like cream or sand that feel like spring.
5. Show Your Pillows Some TLC
When was the last time you replaced your pillows? Experts suggest replacing them every two years! If it's been a while, and yours are feeling flat, lumpy, or no longer supportive, it may be time for an upgrade.
For a luxurious option, invest in the Alpaca Pillow Luxury Twin Pack. This naturally breathable and hypoallergenic pillow comes encased in sateen cotton for a lovely soft finish. Not only will this change improve your sleep but the overall hygiene of your bedroom.
Why Lightweight Layers Make Spring Sleep So Comfortable
The trick to sleeping well in spring is the ability to simply mix and match layers as the weather fluctuates. Give yourself options that are breathable and easy to adjust. Follow our simple layering formula:
-
- Base layer: breathable linen sheets
- Middle layer: a light wool quilt for gentle warmth
- Top layer: a soft throw or blanket for extra flexibility on cooler evenings
- Finishing touch: fresh, supportive pillows to complete the setup
This thoughtful layered approach keeps your bed comfortable, airy and easy to adjust as the weather changes throughout the season.
