Win! A good night’s sleep with the Wool Room

The Wool Room is giving away three luxurious sets of duvet, pillows and mattress protector, for a cosy, healthier snooze

Wellbeing is not just something to consider while you are awake: how and where you sleep can also have a profound effect on overall wellness. The Wool Room’s woollen bedding range can guarantee a better, healthier night’s sleep than alternative forms of down, feather or synthetic bedding. They are offering readers the chance to win one of three sets of wool duvet, mattress protector and pillows, worth up to £515 each.

Wool does so much more than keep you warm – this amazing natural fibre guarantees a better night’s sleep than with synthetic bedding. Wool’s clever ability to regulate skin moisture and temperature levels as we sleep prevents waking from becoming too hot or cold during the crucially regenerative stage 4 REM sleep. We use this stage of sleep to recover and recuperate and persistent disruptions can result in health issues.

Allergy friendly

The Wool Room’s bedding is approved by Allergy UK as being effective at eliminating house dust mites and other allergens, making it a great choice for eczema and asthma sufferers. It is also the first naturally flame resistant mattress range that complies with British safety guidelines, doing away with the need for flame retardant chemicals found in many other mattresses.

How to enter

Each Deluxe All Seasons Bedding Set includes a wool mattress protector, two adjustable pillows and a duvet in the size of your choice. There are three sets to be won. Closing date: 14 March 2017. For full terms and conditions, see icebergpress.co.uk/comprules

In Cardigan itself, there are one- and two-bedroomed granary lofts. These smart apartments border the river, with views across to the castle.

The properties lend themselves to cosy gatherings: no wonder, then, that Fforest is offering hygge weekends, seizing on the Danish idea of simple, everyday happiness and togetherness. Blankets and logs for the fire are provided, and you can order a hygge hamper, full of local produce. The Simple Things readers can save 10% on a hygge weekend, too.

Competition: Win a £500 Autumn wardrobe from HUSH

WOMENSWEAR BRAND HUSH IS OFFERING ONE LUCKY READER THE CHANCE TO WIN A FABULOUS AUTUMN WARDROBE

The change of seasons is often a tricky time in the wardrobe department. After all this time in the bright colours and pretty prints of summer, it’s easy to forget how even your most basic staples function. Which top went with those trousers? Does this coat really go with those shoes? And why did I buy that enormous oversized jumper? Think how much easier the transition would be if you could treat yourself to an entirely new wardrobe.

Thanks to this great competition from hush, one lucky reader will be able to do just that, choosing £500 worth of clothing from its new autumn/winter 2016 collection. A marriage of the classic and contemporary with beautiful cuts, soft fabrics and hush’s trademark, laid-back sense of style, the collection takes inspiration from 1940s cinematic glamour and 1970s boho chic.

Since hush’s debut in 2003 (after Australian founder Mandy Watkins had lived through her first British winter), the brand has become a pioneer in relaxed fashion, specialising in stylish, wearable pieces you can feel truly comfortable in. Choose from slouchy V-necks or super-soft knits as well as skinny leather leggings, maxi dresses, sweats, scarves and more. Luxurious fabrics and contrasting textures in a carefully selected colour palette give you the freedom to coordinate pieces across the range to create your look, whatever your style.

Competition: Win one of three natural skincare hampers from MOA worth £110

Enter our competition to win one of three natural skincare hampers from MOA - Magic Organic Apothecary!

Read our interview with the creators of MOA and find out more about their natural skincare products.

Where and how are your products made? 

We are a British brand, all our products are made in the UK and our signature herb, organic yarrow, is grown in Somerset. We even sow the seeds by hand, at the farm where it is grown. We are cruelty free certified. Our packaging comes from sustainable sources, mostly made in the UK and printed with vegetable based inks, as we try our to make our products as eco as possible.

Why you do what you do? 

It was our mission to make yarrow, our hero herb, available within a skincare product. Yarrow is such a miraculous and healing herb, but not found in many products all, despite being a favourite amongst many herbalists because of its numerous properties. Our original product, The Green Balm harnesses the powers of yarrow in a multi-purpose balm. We enjoy making natural skin care which is affordable and effective whilst also attractive and magical to behold.

What inspires you?  

Nature, magic and folklore, all of which we celebrate in our products, our marketing and our packaging.

What's special about your designs? 

I illustrate the drawings by hand and combine them with vintage apothecary inspired design, so it makes our style pretty unique. Our potions are developed with lots of imagination and care. We’re only ready to sell them when we are truly smitten with the product, and happy that it is both therapeutic and effective. And lastly, a sprinkling of magic makes them very special too!

Competition: Win OSKIA skincare worth over £250

Georgie Cleeve founded OSKIA after witnessing first-hand the skincare benefits of a mineral source called MSM, a natural form of Sulphur. MSM boosts collagen and keratin production, detoxifies cells, decreases inflammation and promotes even skin tone.

Georgie’s father introduced MSM into Europe as a joint supplement for racehorses. Persuaded into taking it herself to repair serious damage the cartilage in her knees, she experienced a phenomenal response and her cartilage repaired more than any surgeon thought possible. But improvement in her complexion and in particular the symptoms of her acne and eczema, together with striking benefits to her hair and nails. 

A seed of an idea was sown and after many years as a food journalist, Georgie began a journey that took in not only dermatology, physiology and therapist training but also a focus on food, diet and the skin benefits of good nutrition.

The concept originally based on one exceptional mineral – MSM – evolved into a nutritional approach harnessing all the essential cell nutrients – minerals, vitamins, proteins and omegas – critical to skin health and performance.

OSKIA launched in 2010 and has over 50 international product and brand awards. A British brand through and through, OSKIA has its own Laboratory and factory in the rolling hills of Monmouthshire, Wales.

Competition: Win a custom deluxe bedding set from The Wool Room (closed 16 May 2016)

THE WOOL ROOM IS GIVING AWAY THREE LUXURY SETS OF DUVET, PILLOWS AND MATTRESS PROTECTOR, FOR A WARM, COSY, HEALTHIER SNOOZE

You’ll never need to count sheep again when you can drift off in your own wool cocoon. The Wool Room, the UK’s leading provider of British wool beds and bedding, is offering readers the chance to win one of three sets of wool duvet, mattress protector and pillows, worth almost £500 each.

Wool does so much more than keep you warm – this amazing natural fibre guarantees a better night’s sleep than with synthetic bedding as it regulates moisture levels, heat and humidity as we sleep.

The Wool Room has also developed its wool bedding to make it machine washable, so you can have both luxury and practicality.

The Wool Room’s bedding is approved by Allergy UK as being effective at eliminating house dust mites and other allergens, making it a great choice for asthma and eczema sufferers. It’s also much more breathable than other natural fibres.

Cocooning yourself with a wool duvet, mattress protector and pillow, then adding a wool mattress or bed for ultimate cosiness, makes for the most comfortable night’s sleep, according to The Wool Room. So confident are they you’ll love it, there’s even a free no-quibble 30-day sleep guarantee for any bedding set bought. 

Launch me!

Each Custom Deluxe Bedding Set includes a duvet, mattress protector and pillows in the weight/size of your choice.

For more about wool bedding, visit thewoolroom.com.

Closing date 16 May. For full T&Cs, see icebergpress.co.uk/comprules.
