Have you considered how the duvet cover you put on your bed can also make a difference to a good night’s sleep? For children in particular, having bedding they love and that they feel comfortable with can often encourage them to actually go to bed – and stay in bed!
This National Bed Month we are back with our top tips and tricks for 2025!
1. Sleep Space
A comfortable and inviting bedroom can make all the difference. Soft, breathable bedding featuring a child’s favourite character adds a sense of familiarity and security, making bedtime something to look forward to. Choosing quality ensures comfort and sets the stage for a restful night.
“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. Routine
A consistent bedtime routine helps regulate a child’s body clock. Simple habits like a warm bath, bedtime story, and cuddling up in their favourite character can signal that it’s time to wind down. This structured approach reduces bedtime battles and helps children fall asleep faster, especially when their bedding links to their favourite character.
“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. Screen Time
The glow of tablets and TVs can make it harder for kids to settle. Swapping screens for snuggles under a soft duvet and a favourite bedtime book creates a calming, screen-free moment, helping children relax and get better quality sleep.
“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. Be Active
Children who are active during the day tend to sleep better at night. Running, playing, and exploring are key to burning energy, but when it’s time to wind down, a snug and cosy bed provides the perfect sleep sanctuary. Pairing active days with a character-themed sleep space makes bedtime something to look forward to!
“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.”
