Winter is creeping up on us, and before we know it the nights will be longer and we will have frozen toes in bed. So now is the time to invest in some cosy luxury bedding.

The first port of call is to make sure you have a winter tog duvet. This is of the thicker variety and designed to keep heat insulated. At www.very.co.uk they have the Sleepwell heated thermo-control duvet, one step up form a thick winter duvet. This is a variable tog duvet that has the ability to be used all year round. It does this by monitoring the temperature of your bedroom and then adjusts the heat output accordingly. This keeps you at the right temperature all through the night. Perfect for those freezing winter mornings.

Its biggest plus is that it works straight away. With its 100% cotton cover and ultra-fast heat up; you will not have to wriggle around for ten minutes before you gain warmth. This works instantly, and to add to its brilliance it is machine washable and tumble dry safe. A duvet that is easy to maintain is never to be grumbled at!

If you like to make your room look elegant and stylish at the same time as providing extra warmth, then consider an extravagant throw. Very.co.uk has a vast supply of plush over covers. They have silky throws, patchwork throws and thicker throws that are quilted. All are beautifully designed and provide you with a little extra warmth that you can throw off if you do become to warm.

However my favorite bed accessory that is a must for the cold nights is a heated overblanket. At very.co.uk they have Morphy Richards heated Overblanket at ?69. Believe me, it is worth every penny.

This ultra-soft blanket is suitable for all the night and has a pre-heat facility, with six different heat settings. But its largest asset is its energy efficiency. Many believe electric blankets are expensive to run, but with its thin energy efficient nano wires it does not cost much to run. In fact it requires far less energy than heating every room in your house for the duration of the night.
