As Ideal Home's Sleep Editor, I've tested numerous Simba mattresses both at home and during trade shows, and can confirm that they're bestsellers for good reason. However, one of the major downsides of opting for a Simba mattress has always been that the brand is online only, which means that, as a shopper, there were very few places you could test out a Simba mattress in person before you bought.

As Ideal Home's Sleep Editor, I spend a lot of time looking at new bedding launches, and I have to say that the Habitat x Morris & Co Bedding Collection is hands down the best I've seen this past year. So much so that despite cupboards bulging with bed linen, I couldn't resist adding the range's 'Sunflower Woodblock' print to my own bed.

As Ideal Home's Sleep Editor, I've spent the last four years testing all kinds of pillows, and one of the key things I've learnt is that if you're an active sleeper – that means if, like me, you spend the night tossing and turning from your back, to your side, to your front during the night – this makes finding the right pillow difficult. Very difficult.

There are a lot of positives to a heatwave, but for me, one of the biggest downsides has to be those hot and sticky nights struggling to sleep in a sweltering bedroom. Thankfully, Silentnight has launched a cooling solution just in time for this year's first mini heatwave. The Silentnight Restore Cooling Gel Body Pad is a cooling pad designed to be used on your mattress. You just pop it under or over your fitted sheet to lower your temperature fast.

According to weather forecasters, the temperature in parts of Britain is predicted to hit 27°C this week. That's great news for sun worshippers, but less welcome news for those of us who struggle with overheating at night. Dunelm has launched a hot weather-friendly cotton bed sheet to make getting off to sleep easier. I'm a hot sleeper, and I don't enjoy those hot and sweaty nights mid-heatwave when I was tossing and turning, trying to get to sleep.

Despite the fact that it's a room that we spend more time in with our eyes closed than open, most of us would agree we want to enjoy the way our bedroom looks, and colour plays a large part in that. Each year, new paint hues gain popularity in the bedroom as colour forecasters and stylists conjure a new selection of shades designed to capture the mood of the moment. And, of course, the flipside of that means a roster of bedroom colours is on its way out of style.

As those of us blessed with a small bedroom know only too well, it takes every trick in the book to make a compact bedroom look bigger. This is especially true if, like me, your bedroom is also a dormer bedroom that has a low, sloping ceiling to contend with. Now, it's unlikely that celebrity Amanda Holden has any shortage of space in her £7 million Surrey mansion, *but* her latest Instagram guest bedroom reveal does demonstrate a clever dormer bedroom design trick.
