Sleeping in the outdoors is one of life's rare pleasures for most of us - whether it's a camping trip, putting up a tent for the kids in the back garden, or feeling the urge for a romantic night under the stars. It's all very well if you're abroad in sunny climates, but in Britain to enjoy the great outdoors you need the appropriate bedding.
Bedding for the Outdoors
Life is hard for many as the credit crunch continues to claim new victims. Retreating to the comfort of our beds with luxurious bedding is one of life's much needed pleasures. And even for those who weather the financial storm, times can be tough. Taking your bedding into the great outdoors and having a blast of healing nature can be just the trick to help get things in perspective. One lifestyle columnist writing in an American newspaper recalled a time 20 years ago when her life was tough. MaryJane Butters, an organic lifestyle expert, said taking her bedding into her backyard to sleep under the stars gave her a chance to reconnect with the world.
Grab your Bedding - Dream of the Stars
The single mum of two young kids, doing low-paid jobs unable to make ends meet felt there was no light at the end of the tunnel. One night in the dead of winter, she grabbed her bedding and headed into her backyard after an urge for open space and escape overwhelmed her. The urge to go outside, armed with the appropriate bedding - a pillow and down sleeping bag - allowed her to sleep under a canopy of stars. The bedding was warm enough to feel cosy despite the wintry night, and under the vast canopy of galaxies stretching on and on above her, she felt her problems become small and manageable. Taking her bedding outside helped give her the perspective and strength she needed. As she wrote: "Man-made walls and concerns have a way of closing in on you."
Pile on the Bedding, Get Close to Nature
As an organic lifestyle expert, Butters recommends more people invest in outdoor bedding so they can have an impromptu night under the stars to help them deal with stress. Our lives are becoming more hectic, more demanding and more worrying, especially with the financial demands many of us are struggling with. Taking our bedding outdoors - even if it's in our own backyard for an hour or two - and staring at the stars, can give us some mental breathing space. Even making sure you sleep near an open window can give us a much needed blast of nature. Pile on the bedding and get close to nature.
