Bedding guides
The layers on top of the mattress change how it sleeps more than most people expect. These guides cover sheet fibres and what thread count really tells you, percale against sateen, linen against cotton, pillow loft matched to sleep position, when a topper is a genuine fix and when it is a patch on a mattress that needs replacing, down against down-alternative, and protectors that stop spills and allergens without adding crinkle. Practical, testable advice you can act on without replacing the bed.
