Seasontex's Guide to Clean Sleep: How Often Should You Wash Your Bedding?
Welcome to Seasontex's Guide to Clean Sleep! As an exquisite bedding company, we understand the importance of keeping your bedding clean and fresh. People spend a third of their lives spent in bed, and a good night's sleep begins with a clean sleeping environment.
In this blog post, we will share our recommendations on how often to wash your bedding for optimal cleanliness and comfort.
Sheets
Sheets Let's begin with the most frequently used item in your bedding collection: your sheets. Preferably, you should wash your sheets once a week. This will help remove any dirt, sweat, or oil that may have accumulated on the fabric over the week.
If you have allergies or sensitive skin, you may need to wash your sheets more frequently to reduce the number of allergens and irritants in your bedding.
Pillows
Pillows Your pillows are another crucial element of your sleeping environment and should be washed every six months to a year. Over time, pillows can harbor dust mites, bacteria, and other allergens.
which can cause health issues and impact your sleep quality. Pillow protectors may extend the time between washes, but it's still a good idea to clean your pillows regularly to keep them fresh and hygienic.
Comforters and Duvets
Comforters and Duvets Comforters and duvets are typically used less often than sheets, but they still need periodic washing to remove any dirt, dust, or allergens that may have accumulated on the fabric.
We recommend washing your comforter or duvet every two to four months, depending on the frequency of use. If you have a duvet cover, you can wash the cover more often and simply swap out the comforter or duvet insert when needed.
Mattress Toppers
Mattress toppers can add an extra layer of comfort to your bed, but they can also collect dirt, dust, and sweat over time.
To keep your mattress topper fresh and clean, we recommend washing it every six months to a year. If you have a waterproof mattress protector, you can simply wipe it down periodically to maintain cleanliness.
In addition to regularly washing your bedding, there are a few other steps you can take to keep your sleeping environment healthy and hygienic. Here are some additional tips:
- Vacuum your mattress and pillows frequently to eliminate dust and allergens.
- Use a hypoallergenic laundry detergent to decrease the risk of skin irritation and allergies.
- Avoid eating or drinking in bed to reduce the likelihood of spills and stains.
- Consider investing in high-quality, durable bedding that can withstand frequent washing and wear.
By applying these tips and washing your bedding regularly, you can create a clean and comfortable sleeping environment that promotes restful sleep.
At Seasontex, we are dedicated to helping our customers achieve the ultimate sleep experience, and we hope that this guide has been beneficial. Happy sleeping!
A Good Night's Sleep = A Good Day's Work
Sleep is an essential aspect healthy lifestyle, and getting good night’s sleep can have a significant impact on our productivity and performance during the day. A good night’s sleep can help us wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the ahead, wherease a lack of sleep can leave us feeling sluggish, irritable and unmotivated.
Sleep is necessary for the body and mind to recharge and repair, and getting enough quality sleep can have a great impact on our overall productivity. In fact, a good night's sleep can be the key to having a good day's work.
First of all, sleep plays a crucial role in well-being. During sleep, the brain consolidates memories and learning, making it easier to recall and apply new information. Less sleeping can lead to impaired decreased attention, concentration, and decision-making skills. Lack of sleep can lead to a decrease in productivity and an increase in mistakes, both of which can affect job performance.

Without adequate sleep, the body is more susceptible to illness and injury, which can lead to missed workdays and decreased productivity.

A well-rested mind is better equipped to handle stress and pressure, allowing for better decision-making and problem-solving skills.
For ensuring enough quality sleep? Firstly, it's important to establish a regular sleep routine. It's also important to create a sleepy environment, including a comfortable and soft pillow, a dark and quiet room, and a normal temperature.
Additionally, it's important to practice good sleep hygiene, such as avoiding caffeine and alcohol before bedtime, limiting screen time before bed, and engaging in relaxing activities before sleep, such as reading or taking a bath.
In conclusion, a good night's sleep is necessary for overall well-being.

A Day of Truth and Reconciliation
Reconciliation Day - Sept 30
In July 2014, the Assembly of First Nations Chiefs-in-Assembly passed a resolution declaring 30 September Orange Shirt Day. It committed members to raise awareness of the day and its message. The resolution asked all Canadians to listen “with open hearts” to the stories of residential school survivors as “a first step in reconciliation” (The Canadian Encyclopedia).
Canada acknowledges September 30th as Orange Shirt Day, a day of remembrance and awareness about the injustices endured by the Indigenous Community for it is on this day that thousands of children were taken from their families to be enlisted into Residential Schools.
This is a very crucial part of Canadian history but one that often gets overlooked. Indigenous communities have and continue to face discrimination, and it is up to us, the common public, to take a step in aiding them towards positive change.
Our Contribution
in 2021, New Season donated nearly twenty-five thousand dollars worth of Bed Sheets and Bedding essentials to the Indigenous community as a way of paying respect and doing our part in the journey towards reconciliation.
This year, we do not intend to stop these efforts. We will be donating ten percent of all our proceeds to Orangeshirtday.org as well as adding a fifty percent discount on all our Orange products (coupon code "ORANGENS") to maximize the donations. Every dollar counts and we would really appreciate all your support in this.

What You're Choice in Sheets and duvet cover Color Combinations Says About You
Please… Do you think we don't judge you when you place an order with us on your colour combinations? If you thought to yourself, "No…" you're correct because we adore all of our customers, especially those that like to experiment.
So take this time and read over this week's blog, let us know your favourite bed colour combination, and see if we guessed your personality correctly.
The All Whites
We would love to call you boring, we really would, but the truth is everyone inspires to be like you. It takes a brave soldier to have all white sheets, especially with the high amount of maintenance that makes sure they stay pure white. You strive for perfection in everything you do, and most likely, all you're decor in your room is decorated in neutral or all white colours.
The White Duvet Cover and Grey Sheet Set
You're not fooling anyone. We know you eat in bed! You like to shy away from those around you and find their room their haven. You most likely go with dark grey sheets or light grey sheets because you want to enjoy an occasional ice cream while binge-watching your favourite show on Netflix. You're not a perfectionist, but you still like the clean look, so you protect your duvet cover!
The Grey Duvet Cover and White Sheet Set
You are most likely a pet owner and are worried that your pet will shed and ruin your white duvet cover, so you opted for a darker colour! You either have children or a messy partner and as much as you would love an all-white set, your lifestyle simply doesn't allow you to. We know you don't wash your sheets the recommended amount but don't worry, the dark colours might hide it all, but we know how busy you are. You most likely only come to bed when it's time to sleep and spend most of your day in productivity.
We Love The Brown, The Beige, The cinnamon.
Trendy Tiktoker, is that you? Or are you someone with a perfectly aesthetic Instagram feed? You love to experiment and follow trends, but you love the earthly clean look. You probably work out to maintain good health, opt for oat milk, and your day will not start unless you stop at Starbucks. You're most likely the type of person who constantly uploads motivational stories on their Instagram and inspires others in your day-to-day life.
Terracotta
Nothing screams risk-taker than someone willing to experiment with an orange-like shade in their bedroom. Terracotta requires a lot of taste, and you're not afraid to try it all. You're bold and creative, and I promise to have more than two pillows on your bed. Your favourite holiday is Halloween; you love autumn and don't lie, you're secretly obsessed with pumpkin spice lattes.
Charcoal Greys
We know you're a reader before going to bed at night. You most likely love getting into philosophical debates and hate the idea of sunlight peaking into your room in the morning. You love the occasional sleeping in, and you like to handle life one step at a time. You most likely have pets or children but are too exhausted to make your bed every morning and play it off as a messy aesthetic.
Navy Blue
Nothing screams college frat boy than the colour navy blue. Mom or dad most likely purchased your sheets before the semester started, and you probably couldn't care what colour your bedding is. You're likely to be using the same sheets they gifted you after graduation and won't change your sheets unless someone does it for you.
A guide on what Bedding Product Works For You
You're picky. We get it, and we want to ensure you that you have every right to be. You'll be the one going into bed overnight and with all the struggles that occur in a day to day life. If you're struggling with achieving a good night's sleep, let us care for you.
No customer is too fussy, and we understand the individual needs of all our customers. We know that some of you may have extremely deep mattresses, have issues with the temperature at night, suffer from friction and more. We created this guide to help educate you on what products may work for you and suit whoever you may be getting sheets for!
Rayon Bamboo
Bamboo Rayon is perfect for those that love the excellent silky finish when getting into bed. Our bamboo sheets are perfectly designed for those with deep mattresses and cover up to 18 inches making them deep-pocketed. These are our softest, most luxurious sheets and adjust to one's body temperature. It has the perfect lightweight consistency, perfect for those that get too hot at night.
100% Cotton
If you're still using cotton, we're not going to judge you. You love the simplicity, which says a lot about you. You might be afraid to try other fabrics, and that's okay because you're loyal to what you've been using for several years. Cotton sheets have been breathable and airy, making them perfect all year round. We offer some cotton sheet sets such as -
Organic 100% Cotton
These organic sheets are perfect for those that want to stick to all-natural products that haven't been treated with harsh dyes and chemicals. Our organic sheets come in many options ranging from solid to printed patterns. Although we don't offer them as a duvet cover yet, these make the perfect adorable sheet to use in Air BnB's, kids' rooms, university dorms, etc. These are perfect for those that enjoy flat sheets.
500 Thread Count
You're bougie, and you understand quality over quantity. Many companies like to lie and say that they are selling 1000 thread count sheets, but anyone who knows sheets knows that the 500 thread count is the sweet spot of all sheets. A thread count is several threads that go into sheets; the more significant the line counts, the thinner the sheets is a fundamental principle to follow. Our 500 thread counts create the perfect sheets that aren't too thin or too thick. Because of their high quality, they produce rich colours and a satin-like finish.
100% Linen
Ahh, so you want to compete with the big boys? We see you, and best of all, you're our favourite customer. We love when we can share our love of linen with you all, and we can't wait to see the day this fabric becomes as well known as cotton so everyone can enjoy the benefits. These sheets are perfect all year long and elevate any room into having a cozy rustic feel. Our linen sheets are also offered in a beautiful duvet cover. These sheets are perfect for those that value quality because although these can be considered a pricy investment, these will last longer than any other sheet in the market.
80% Bamboo & 20% Linen
So you want to upgrade to linen but don't want to splurge the high costs associated with it? We found a solution for you that is even better than Vintage linen in the eyes of some. Bamboo linen sheets offer the same look as linen at a cheaper cost but more benefits. These are perfect for those looking to experiment but aren't ready to entirely splurge on the linen, and we think they make a fantastic dupe!
Our Goal for Sustainable Products
The most annoying feeling is when going into a store to see the perfect sheets, but due to its plastic wrapping, there's always an added fear of disappointment when taking it out of its packaging when getting home. We know how good our products are, and we want customers to be able to feel what they are buying before they buy it. We at least owe it to them because nobody likes the feeling of going home to thick sheets.
We'll admit there was a time when we contributed to an enormous amount of plastic waste, mainly because there was a lack of awareness. We have successfully figured out how to use leftover, reusable bags for packaging our items, and this is eco-friendly and informs the customer what they are purchasing in person.
Upon revamping our packaging, we work towards supporting organic sheets made in factories that limit the amount of pollution released by using natural dyes in all of our products. We believe that you don't need more than two sheet sets and two duvet covers, and we have ensured that all of our products are reusable friendly and long-lasting.
Our fabrics are all made with high-quality materials, whether linen, bamboo linen, Bamboo rayon or cotton. We ensure that all our fabrics are double stitched to prevent tears, and as a result, many of our customers return after several years, claiming that their sheet sets have lasted almost a decade of regular use.
Our goal is to ensure that we go plastic-free by the end of 2025. We have successfully worked on changing all our packaging to the materials of the fabric health, limiting the waste produced. We also are working on planting more trees and giving back as much as we as a company take from the environment.
If anyone knows of any charities working to achieve sustainable goals, please send us an email at info@seasontex.com. We all should work on improving the environment together one day at a time.
The Story behind our Linen Products
As much as we as a company want to illustrate a picture-perfect image, we have made several mistakes running New Season, and one of them happens to be not investing in linen sooner.
Linen has created a massive trend in interior design as it made its way into bedding essentials, bedroom decor and even furniture such as couches, tables, ottomans and more. Linen is an eco-friendly fabric perfect for individuals who suffer from fabric allergies, need temperature regulating sheets, and are antibacterial. Linen has been known for centuries to be a durable fabric and, thus, for many years, has been used. It also gets softer with every wash, making this the perfect go-to sheet or duvet cover for any home.
But how did we get our hands on it, you may ask? That's a long story that we've been dying to share, and we were so glad we finally have seen enormous success with the product that we feel it's important enough to let you all know how we did it.
As a bedding company, we usually stuck to basic fabrics, which were high thread count Egyptian cotton sheets for many years. For many years we believed that these were the best sheets, and thus we were scared to branch out and try new products because we were selling what we were comfortable with. Going to trade shows years after years, we started selling linen sheets as an accident and planned to have it as a temporary option for our many loyal customers.
One of our suppliers reached out to us and told us that they were able to sell us linen sheets created from the leftover fabrics of the clothing they had already previously sold. At the time, linen was not yet on the market, and we were extremely reluctant to purchase such a high volume of fabric that was honestly not that known here in North America. Our supplier needed a way to get rid of the excess material, and we were starting. He gave us a fantastic deal on assorted colour linen fabrics, and that's when we took off.
Upon receiving our shipment, we noticed that no two linen items felt the same. Some were lucky and were incredibly soft to the touch, while others were stiff to touch. We realized that it would look beautiful on the beds with the soft linen fabrics, but it was also hushed. We began doing our research and found the many benefits of the material.
We were one of the first companies to begin selling high-quality linen items, and these became highly popularized. After selling our original collection of assorted linen goods, we finalized four colours to narrow it down. We also realized that linen is not a cheap item, and as our business grew, we no longer wanted to get the most reasonable thing we could find but rather the most suitable for our high-quality clients. We scouted through many suppliers and spent roughly two years finding the most linen fabric, and since then, the product has been selling out like crazy.
You didn't think we were done now, did you?
We also developed a brand new line unheard of to anyone else called bamboo linen. This fabric is a newly designed product that combines our high-quality bamboo and linen sheets to create an even softer blend with minor wrinkles.
For years we have had customers complain that as much as they love the look of linen ironing, it is a pain because, naturally, linen wrinkles. We took feedback from our customers and worked with our suppliers to create this perfect blend that allows customers to have the linen look at a lower price.
We're enormously proud of how our accidental purchase turned into something so big for us, and for anyone reading this is a sign to take any chance given to you. We would have easily missed this opportunity had we had a higher budget, but this shows how much growth we have had in New Season.
Anxiety and the science behind weighted blankets
Anxiety is the number one mental health diagnosis, and the COVID pandemic has had an alarming increase among today's youth, adults and seniors. With the rise in anxiety, weighted blankets have become popularized to combat several anxiety symptoms, and this article will overlook the science behind them.
Weighted blankets can help children and adults cope with anxiety, and they're usually safe to use. They aid in the relaxation of many people, allowing them to sleep more deeply. HUGME weighted throws are designed to feel like a warm and comforting hug, which often helps relieve the user of their stress. Our throws are designed with a soft furry material similar to an animal, and the added coziness works to create more comfort.
Weighted blankets press your body lower during sleep, which helps to ground you. This technique, sometimes known as "earthing" or "grounding," can be pretty relaxing. Deep pressure touch (DPT), a type of therapy that involves complex, hands-on contact to decrease chronic stress and high levels of anxiety, is likewise simulated by the blankets. HUGME weighted throws are different from other competitors as they are filled with hypoallergenic glass beads built into tiny square pockets, ensuring that the beads stay in place over time. This allows for multiple washes and fumbling with the blanket to ensure it remains in its original shape and will continue to "ground" the individual.
Studies have shown grounding to help reduce cortisol, a stress hormone, levels at night. When your brain believes you're being attacked, it releases cortisol, triggering the fight, flight, or freeze response. Often we have noticed that amongst a high number of anxiety patients, they tend to be alone when they panic. Although isolation can help them find strategies to relieve their stress, it often limits the amount of cortisol produced. Especially for the single fellas out there, this weighted throw will replace the feeling of being cuddled and held all night long.
Cortisol levels might rise as a result of stress, and the immune system may suffer due to this. It can also raise blood sugar levels and have a negative impact on the digestive system. This supports several reasons how the HUGME weighted throw can help with other issues outside of anxiety. It is crucial that with pressure, it is highly likely that other health issues can arise. Weighted blankets have been known to help with the following points.
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Weight Gain
Weighted blankets can encourage relaxation and help interrupt the cycle by offering deep pressure contact. This could cause the release of the feel-good hormones dopamine and serotonin produced in the brain. Stress, anxiety, and sadness are all aided by these chemicals. Investing in this product helps treat anxiety and several other mental health issues at a low and effective cost.
