1. Relax
The first step to a good bedtime routine is to make it a place where they love to spend time. Enjoy creating a calming and quiet space for them to sleep where they can wind down after a busy day of playing or being at school.
“I can’t believe Darcie slept through the whole night in her own bed. I have waited a long time for this moment! She loves how bright and soft the bedding is and it’s safe to say it’s a huge hit!”

2. Choice
It is a good idea to let your child have a say in the bedding they’d like to have in their room or the pyjamas they’d like to wear at night. Let them choose their duvet and add soft, cosy extras like cushions and blankets. If they have a favourite TV series, then you can theme a room around popular characters such as Bluey, Hey Duggee or Bing and really bring the space to life.
“The children were so excited to see their favourite CBeebies characters on their beds. We love how bright and colourful the bedding is, it really makes the room pop and stand out. Dreamtex duvets are the perfect treat for a themed-bedding lover!”

3. Story Time
Make time for stories every evening and read a book with your child that matches the characters on their duvet so they can identify who they see on the bed. This helps with learning and developing observation and memory skills whilst also making a happy bedroom.
“From a Mum point of view, I love how well this Jurassic World bedding washes and it hasn’t mis-shaped like other duvet covers we’ve had in the past. It’s safe to say that when it’s washing day this set is straight back on!”

4. Transition
Thinking of moving your little one out of their cot and into a toddler bed and feeling daunted by the prospect? We are always hearing stories about how character bedding can help, so don’t put it off, let National Bed Month inspire you to make that leap and choose a Dreamtex duvet for their first ‘grown up’ bed.
“My highlight today was seeing Esmé’s excited little face when I told her she had brand new special bed sheets on. She ran up the stairs into her room, screamed with excitement then jumped on her bed. She went to bed with a massive smile on her face.”
