Town or country, Jaeger aims to present a series of home collections destined to suit every style.

This season there are three highly covetable collections, named after some of London’s most prestigious addresses:
Belgravia, Regent and Ledbury.

Taking a neutral taupe hue as its foundation, each range can be cleverly worked back with Jaeger’s previous home collections:

• The Belgravia collection pictured here, is in white and lilac and takes a daisy chain design as its signature, sumptuously embroidered across the entire width of the 300 thread count duvet covers.

• The Regent collection on 300 thread count cotton satin, is a subtle animal print jacquard in taupe and lilac, richly finished with a satin stitch border.

• The Ledbury collection, on 300 thread count cotton, features a delicate all-over feathered design.

All collections are completed with corresponding Oxford, Housewife and Continental pillowcases.

Cushions in complementary colours pick up on the designs of all three collections, with delicate details such as embroidered French knots, bugle beads, metallic lurex stripes and shots of highlighting colours such as lime.

Of course, no bed is properly dressed without a beautiful throw:

• Jaeger offers a host of chic styles in lilac, dark purple and lime, including, a geometric design on knitted cotton, a lightweight wool jacquard and a two-tone mohair blanket with fringed trims.

• But perhaps the most sumptuous is a luxurious silk quilted eiderdown in opulent amethyst.

Jaeger Home is available at Jaeger Regent Street, Jaeger Knightsbridge, Jaeger Edinburgh, Jaeger Cambridge as well as selected quality department stores including Harrods, Fenwick and House of Fraser and Jaeger Online:

It may come as little surprise but it is official, as a nation, our beds are extremely important to us.

Most of us rate getting a good night’s sleep as having a lie-in and sleeping on laundered bed linen, in our top ten favourite small pleasures.

So, what better excuse do you need to invest in the new range of silk bed linen from John Lewis?

As well as being super luxurious, sleeping on silk also has many health and beauty benefits and can even help slow down the appearance of wrinkles.

Other health benefits include:

• Anti-static properties, which helps keep frizzy hair to a minimum.

• Hypoailergenic making it the perfect choice for allergy sufferers.

• Silk is a natural temperature regulator, which reacts to body heat - meaning you’ll never be too hot or too cold.

• Encourages better circulation.

The range is available in five elegant colours: Ivory (shown in our picture). Soft Mocha, Ash Rose, Duck Egg, Pearl compromising of duvet cover, pillowcase and sheet in single, double and king sizes, with prices starting from £25 for a pillowcase.

Are you fed up with your duvets being too hot, heavy and bulky, or causing you to itch or sneeze? It’s time to Live and Sleep Well.

Snow Blossom, based in Cheshire, offer the most beautiful silk products, ranging from silk bedding to silk nightwear.

Snow Blossom’s silk filled duvets, pillows and mattress toppers are handmade and filled layer upon layer with 100% pure mulberry silk; you can imagine how wonderful it must be to sleep with Silk bedding - soothing and gentle!

Silk filled duvets are much better than hollow fibre or feather/down ones as they are much lighter, softer and allow your skin to breathe.
They are naturally hypoallergenic too; Silk Blossom never uses chemicals in their silk duvets or pillows.

Our picture shows the duvets being hand layered with 100% pure mulberry silk.

Prices start from £90 for a Single Light weight duvet, offered along with 100% pure silk filled pillows and mattress toppers.

Natalie Xiao Bell, the owner of Snow Blossom, has been involved with the culture of silk, ever since her childhood in China.
She set up a very successful business – Snow Blossom – an online shop on the Internet about 4 years ago and also sells through exhibitions and by customer recommendation.

The wide spread use of chemicals, additives and other chemical substances these days, has effectively increased the number of people who suffer from allergies.
Sleeping with a silk duvet, pillows and silk bed linen, is a much healthier choice.

Furthermore, the silk duvet does not need to be washed or dry cleaned as often as conventional duvets of hollow fibre or feather. Fresh air purifies silk!

What makes Snow Blossom special, is Natalie’s knowledge of silk and the personal touches in her designs, like the addition of silk ribbons to her bedding.
Natalie also pays close attention to the welfare of workers in the factories in China.

Snow Blossom is exhibiting at The Grand Design Show at the NEC from 9th-11th October,2009.
