Most New Zealanders try to spend about eight hours in their beds every night, but we often forget about one of the key elements to bedtime comfort: our sheets.
There’s nothing sweeter than slipping into a fresh set of sheets, but our once-pristine bedding can become threadbare, scratchy and disappointing over time.
It sounds depressing, but don’t fret – there’s a silver lining to those stained, worn sheets you’ve had on your bed for years.
And that is the fact that swapping them out for a brand new sheet set is one of the easiest ways to totally revamp your entire bedroom.
