WOOLY SHEEP AND DOWNY GEESE

Although my blog’s title sounds like the start of a nursery song, it’s really not! 

We are speaking about the difference between down and wool filled duvet and pillow inners.  My previous blog, ‘Don’t Get Weighed Down’ (https://www.linendrawer.co.za/dont-get-weighed-down-0 ) touched briefly on the different duvet fillings.

PILLOW TALK

Is your pillow your friend or your enemy? If it’s older than 18 months it is likely to be your enemy, and responsible for that nagging neck ache, and the feeling that you could do with more sleep!

Sleeping posture is key to sleeping comfort. By this I mean that your spine and head are aligned while you sleep.

DON'T GET WEIGHED DOWN

Sleep plays such an essential part of our well-being that at Linen Drawer we take sleeping comfort very seriously!

Today we are helping you to choose the correct duvet inner for yourself.  Hopefully helping you to make an informed choice and demystifying the whole process.  I found so many options available when researching this article, that my head was spinning at the end – but first a few questions:

TOUGH DECISIONS

Today we are looking at how to decide which thread count to choose when replenishing your bed linen. 
Tough decision?  Not really, seen in the global picture; but in this context – very tough!

We are addressing this question in order to help you make an informed choice.

HOW IMPORTANT IS YOUR LAUNDRY NOW?

We are all very grateful that the hospitality industry is gradually re-opening. 

The question is: How are we going to deal with the Covid pandemic in our laundries in the
hospitality industry and what should we be doing now in preparation?

While your establishment is in the gradual process of re-opening there are a number of
activities that should take place:

CHALLENGING LAUNDRY PERCEPTIONS

I can laugh about it now – but at the time I was offended and very prickly for a while.  You see, I had assumed
I knew everything about laundry and could tell anyone how to clean anything!

WRONG.

WHERE WOULD YOU GO?

This is the question of the day. Where would you go if you could go anywhere? Let your imagination run wild.

Really – where would you go – if there was no social distancing and all the other rules that apply in a pandemic?
The wonderful thing is, there is no right or wrong answer.

It's a Flax

It gives me great pleasure to introduce our newest product to you!!

Following the success of the Egyptian cotton gown, we developed the Pure Linen Gown.

The first-off the production floor is a unisex kimono-style washed linen gown.  Washed, because we want you to immediately appreciate the fascinating beauty of linen.

NEW YEAR, NEW DECADE

Welcome to the new decade! 

Goodness, you might say, what happened to welcoming the New Year?  My answer – a New Decade calls for a greater amount of mental preparation and planning – mental fitness, as well as resilience. 

We face trying times as a planet, never mind as a country.  Two options are open to us at such times – to turn our backs and shrug off all responsibility, or to face the challenges as they arrive; embracing the change that is necessary for us to triumph.  At Linen Drawer we are facing up to our responsibilities and flexing our ‘change-muscles’, ready for the future.

GIFTS POSSIBLE AND PLEASING

The giving season has arrived with a flurry of tinsel and a tinkle of “Feliz Navidad”.

I have always believed, where possible, in giving gifts that I would actually also like to receive. I often have a twinge of jealousy when giving a gift, only to realise how wonderful it feels when that person says “how did you know I’ve always wanted one?”

At Linen Drawer we have anticipated the frustrations of our clients at not finding those perfect gifts, and would like to offer some suggestions:

Gowns: these wonderful items can be given to men and women, large and small. Linen Drawer stocks various types of gown or bathrobe.
