Some of the most popular, highly rated nightwear include the John Lewis & Partners Luxury Towelling Robe (£59), which has received rave customer reviews for being immensely 'soft' and 'cosy'. The Joules Snooze Dog Print Cotton Pyjama Bottoms (£29.95) is extremely popular and praised for its great quality.

The unique natural properties of wool resist dust mites, making these pillows suitable for allergy sufferers and a great alternative to polyester and other synthetic fibres.
Down has a naturally airy and open structure that traps heat, so it gives excellent insulation while being much lighter than feathers, meaning you'll feel perfectly warm without being weighed down.
Its 100 per cent cotton cover delivers a soft, naturally breathable feel to keep you cool and comfortable throughout the night. This particular all-seasons duvet features two duvets with different togs, which can be joined together or taken apart to provide the perfect level of warmth throughout the year.
'Shoppers are also increasingly turning to tech to get the perfect night’s sleep, buying sleep-inducing lights, smart watches and even sleep trackers which go under the mattress to provide data about the patterns and quality of our shut eye,’ reveals John Lewis. 'Sales of sleep sprays, creams and aromatherapy candles are also up.'
Soft, warm and naturally breathable, this Hungarian Goose Down Mattress Topper is supremely comfortable. It has a down-filled top layer to nestle into and feather-filled bottom layer for support.

The zip link offers the flexibility to have one big mattress or two independent mattresses depending on your needs. And as each mattress is individually made, you will eliminate any roll together. The mattresses in these collections are hypoallergenic and houses innovative high-density springs which effectively map the contours of your body while you sleep. With a warm wool side for winter and a cool cotton side for summer, the mattress also includes a wealth of natural fillings, including pashmina, the finest, most luxurious material used in the whole collection.
Clean, simple and with a versatile linen-feel fabric, this curved headboard features a three button detail with ash colour legs give a cosy and sophisticated feel. The bed's sprung slats offer additional support.
