All About Sleep: My Story
The need for sleep
Sleep is so important to our physical and mental health, performance and relationships. We spend a third of our life sleeping - or at least we should be! In our household it has always been something that has been squeezed in, between busy jobs, parenting and everything else that life throws at us... It's also not just the length of your sleep that is important, it is also the quality of that sleep. A 2023 survey by Nuffield Health found that only 36% of employees get a "good night's sleep," with 65% feeling their sleep quality is not good. A UK Biobank survey found that only 10.2% of adults feel "very refreshed" upon waking!
My aim
My aim is to make your bedroom a sanctuary, and your bed something that you look forward to getting into - a hotel feel in your own home. I have lovingly designed a bespoke range of organic bamboo pillowcases, bedding, candles and accessories to create a sanctuary-like sleep space of darkness, softness and calm. Lulling you into a deeper, longer and more rejuvenating night's sleep.
How it all started
My mission started with a personal struggle. For years, my husband suffered from painful eczema flare-ups, which made sleeping on our high-quality Egyptian cotton bedding a constant source of discomfort. The endless itching led to restless, interrupted nights for both of us.Everything changed when we tried organic bamboo bedding. We were amazed at how gentle it felt on our skin. I soon realized that my husband was overheating at night, which was making his eczema worse. But within days of switching to bamboo sheets, his skin completely cleared up.This experience led me down a rabbit hole of research. I discovered that bamboo is a true "miracle material." It’s naturally antibacterial, temperature-regulating, and moisture-wicking, making it ideal for sensitive skin. Plus, it helps keep you comfortable and even helps smooth all hair types and prevent frizz. We believe everyone should experience the incredible benefits of bamboo. Our mission is to share this wonderful material with you and help you get a better, more comfortable night's sleep.
My personal quest for better sleep didn't stop with bedding. My husband's experience with bamboo fabric sparked an idea: could I design a sleep mask that was truly perfect? I had always wanted to use a sleep mask, but every one I tried fell short. They were too small, let in light, had uncomfortable straps, or were made from rough, irritating materials. Knowing that bamboo was the ideal fabric, I began a long process of researching and prototyping to create my perfect mask. After countless designs and tests, the final product was everything I had envisioned. And with thousands of satisfied customers, I can confidently say the effort was worth it!
Not only is bamboo amazing for us, it is also amazing for the environment too. This sustainable super plant grows happily in degraded soil, releases 30% more oxygen than hardwood trees and not only needs one third of the water cotton does, it also yields 10 times more per acre. It is organically grown with no need for harmful chemicals and is completely cruelty-free and vegan. Luxurious, good for the planet and your pocket - the perfect sleep solution!
