Beat springtime allergies

Beat springtime allergies

Spring is the ideal time to change over older items that need to be replaced. We spend almost a third of our lives in bed, which means an accumulation of dead skin, dirt, oil, and dust mites are more than likely starting to build up inside your bedding and pillows!

Spring has officially sprung! But unfortunately, as the days grow longer and the flowers begin to bloom the new seasons arrival also ushers in a familiar but unwelcome visitor for many: seasonal allergies.

Luckily there are several things you can do around your home to help prevent any unnecessary springtime allergies so you can stop to enjoy the sunshine:

 


 

Start with a spring clean

There's no better feeling than a clean and organised home. Selling and donating unwanted items leaves you with the perfect blank canvas. Not only will this help you to make way for new goodies to refresh your home for the new season, but it will allow you to wipe down and vacuum those often forgotten about surfaces (like cupboard shelves and under the bed). Clearing away any allergy causing dust that has been accumulating in your home is the perfect start to beating those springtime sniffles!

TOP TIP: Tackle one room at a time to make the job less overwhelming. Writing a list and ticking off each task will also help keep you on track and ensure you achieve everything on your list.

 

Snooze, don’t sneeze

Good quality sleep is essential for maintaining a healthy body and mind. Prolonged poor sleep quality can be associated with several adverse health outcomes, including poor mental health and a lower immunity.

Choosing the right bedding when you suffer from asthma or allergies can help to ensure you get a great night’s sleep in all seasons. Try selecting a good quality quilt and protector made from antibacterial materials to avoid those nasty night time sneezes that can make falling asleep almost impossible! After all, it’s hard to sleep soundly when you know that there are millions of dust mites living, breeding, excreting and dying in the average mattress.

Our Bamboo Wool Blend Quilt and Bamboo Wool Mattress Protector are the perfect year round options. Australian made with natural fibres (including the highest quality Australian wool and bamboo), this allergy fighting duo are naturally breathable and antibacterial, making them your perfect springtime slumber buddies! As well as being super soft, this blended quilt and mattress protector will bring temperature regulated comfort to your bed.

Don’t think you have time?

If you hit the snooze button even once before you get up, you have time to make your bed.
How you style it is up to you, but here is a rundown of the bed making basics:

  • Step 1: Remove your pillows, and peel back your quilt, any blankets and top sheet
  • Step 2: Straighten and tuck your fitted sheet under your mattress
  • Step 3: Pull up and straighten each bedding layer from the bottom up, and tuck in the sides as required
  • Step 4: Add your pillows, cushions and throws to your freshly made bed
  • Step 5: Enjoy a cup of coffee before your day ahead! You’ve earnt it.
