										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you have a hard time getting a good night’s sleep? You’re not alone. The National Sleep Foundation found that 45% of adults don’t get enough sleep, even when they try. Seven hours of shut-eye is the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">minimum </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">amount of sleep you need (per day) to stay healthy. When you get less, your risk of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, Alzheimer&#8217;s, heart disease, stroke, and stress &#8211; on top of feeling tired and irritated &#8211; skyrockets. Before you pop a sleeping pill, try giving your bedroom a sleep-friendly remodel for a better night’s rest.</span></p>
<h2>What stops us from getting good quality sleep?</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All too often, most of us overlook the importance of the thing we spend one-third of our lives in our bed sheets. Sleep experts are saying that your quality of sleep directly correlates with the quality of your sheets. Some fabrics make you hot, humid, and uncomfortable, which disrupts your sleep cycle. Other fabrics (like cotton) trap moisture- creating a breeding ground for bacteria and germs, which weakens your immune system. Considering that sleep helps you lose weight, age gracefully, improves your memory, and makes you live longer, aren’t better sheets worth it? You wouldn’t travel or camp overnight without the right supplies. So, don’t ignore the essentials in your own bedroom. If you’re on the pursuit for better quality sleep, the best option, by far, is bamboo bed sheets.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-716" src="http://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/DHP00379-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="411" srcset="https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/DHP00379-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/DHP00379-300x200.jpg 300w, https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/DHP00379-768x512.jpg 768w, https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/DHP00379-816x544.jpg 816w" sizes="(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px" /></p>
<h2>How Bamboo Benefits Your Health &amp; Your Sleep</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bamboo bed sheets are made from the pulpy fibers (rayon) within the tall bamboo stalks. Designed by mother nature for a naturally-nurturing slumber, the pulp can be turned into a silky, soft fabric and offers extreme health benefits that other sheets simply can’t. These sheets have been rising in popularity because they’re a top choice by doctors, but not all bamboo sheets are created in equal measure. There’s much to know when buying Bamboo sheets for the first time and we’re going to uncover all you need to know about this eco-friendly fabric. The company that’s stealing the spotlight for premium bamboo bedding is called Cosy House Collection. They have the top-rated bamboo bed sheets on the market because they’re quality is incredibly high &#8211; their bamboo rayon is uniquely sourced from the best natural resources and with the consumer’s health in mind, so no harsh chemicals sneak their way into your sheets. Their commitment to quality comes across in their look, feel, and durability. Let’s take a look at why Cosy House Bamboo bed sheets will give you deeper sleep: </span></p>
<h3>Cooling &amp; Clean</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s lots of evidence that sleeping in a cool environment is key to achieving a deep, restful slumber. Apparently, a drop in body temperature initiates tiredness, because your body enters conservation mode and calms your heart rate and breathing. But sleeping cool isn’t as simple as cranking down the thermostat. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your bed sheets are liable for keeping you at optimum coolness throughout the night. Poorly ventilated sheets, like cotton, actually prevent you from falling asleep and producing melatonin, the sleep hormone. Bamboo sheets, however, balance your body temperature for healthier sleeping because they’re incredibly breathable. The long-lasting coolness helps your body produce melatonin throughout the night, which is a strong anti-ager for the skin, immune system, and metabolism. </span></p>
<h3>Anti-Bacterial &amp; Hypoallergenic</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One main reason bamboo sheets rose in popularity is because of their superior cleanliness. They have a natural ability to wick away moisture, sweat, and oil &#8211; so you always wake up feeling fresh and clean. Aside from starting the day off on the right foot, your hygiene will also see improvements. Most bed sheets absorb oil, germs, dirt, and your dead skin cells during sleep. This creates a whole host for the microscopic creatures that feed on your dead skin cells as you shed naturally. It causes headaches and allergies, and your sleep is likely going to suffer from it. Bamboo, on the other hand, repels moisture so bacteria and mold can’t grow. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bamboo is famous for its hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties because it removes allergens from your sleeping environment, helping you stay healthy as you recover throughout the night. Whether or not you have allergies, it’s important to keep bacteria out of your bed as much as possible. Bamboo sheets are unique to hypoallergenic bedding because they don’t just repel bacteria, they repel stains, odors, and wrinkles, too. </span></p>
<h3>Soft &amp; Easy to Wash</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bamboo bedding has a soft and creamy feel, like smooth, cool velvet. They’re luxe to the touch and, actually get softer with each wash. Reviews say that the feel of the bedding is similar to sateen weave, except more indulgent on the skin because it stays crisp. Cosy House sheets are the perfect, medium weight that makes the smoothest, flattest surface ideal for uninterrupted sleep.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite these sheets top-rated softness, they’re extremely durable and easy to care for. They’re machine washable and are said to last their full lifespan. One other reason why people love Cosy House Collection is that they offer a lifetime warranty guarantee with no questions asked. So if anything happens to your sheets, you can exchange them for a brand new pair for the length of their lifespan.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-713" src="http://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/amazon423-1-1024x714.png" alt="" width="616" height="430" srcset="https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/amazon423-1-1024x714.png 1024w, https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/amazon423-1-300x209.png 300w, https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/amazon423-1-768x536.png 768w, https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/amazon423-1-816x569.png 816w, https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/amazon423-1.png 1051w" sizes="(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px" /></p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The wrong fabric of sheets &#8211; or the sheets that have seen too many nights &#8211; is the cause of much more than your tiredness. It affects nearly every physical function, your heart health and impairs your memory, mood, and quality of life. If you have a hard time getting a good night’s sleep, bamboo sheets are an easy swap suggested by numerous health experts. Cosy House Collection is one of the few bamboo sheet companies that are budget-friendly but don’t compromise on quality. So, you can’t let the price tag hold you back from healthier slumbers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cosy House offers their bamboo bed sheets on </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amazon Prime</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and on their </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">website</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. They offer a beautiful array of colors and in all sizes, including Twin, Full, Queen, King, Cal King, and Split King. Because this brand is in high commodity, colors and sizes do sell out fast. They run a lot of flash sales and discounts, which brings the price down even further &#8211; right now, on their website you can get the bamboo bed sheets 65% off! That brings the original price of $125.95 down to $47.95, making this your most affordable health purchase yet. </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m willing to bet that a good night’s sleep is something you often dream of, but hardly ever get. Did you know that there’s a lot more at stake than puffy under-eyes and low energy? I sure didn’t. Coffee was my holy grail solution for years, until finally, I got to a point where enough was enough. Adults need 7-9 hours a night of quality rest to upkeep our physical and mental health. You might be surprised to learn that weight gain, hormone imbalances, and brain dysfunction are all symptoms of getting too-little sleep! But how many times have you gotten in bed early (with the best of intentions) only to find yourself staring at the ceiling or tossing and turning for hours? We need the proper tools to coax the mind and body into a state of relaxation, like a comfortable bed outfitted with divine sheets that keep you asleep all night. Surprisingly, there are a lot of bedding no-no’s that can really mess with your quality of sleep &#8211; you might not even know you’re committing them!</p>
<p><strong>Look for the “Three C’s”:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Comfortable</li>
<li>Cooling</li>
<li>Clean</li>
</ul>
<p>If you don’t have all three of these checked off in your current sheet set, you’re in the market for a new pair! They don’t have to be expensive, either. In fact, I&#8217;ve done the research and know first hand that most expensive doesn&#8217;t always mean the best quality for sleep. Doctors say that we get the deepest, healthiest sleep when our bodies are cool, comfortable, and able to breathe. Now, I love Egyptian cotton as much as the next person, but cotton tends to hang on to moisture and make you hot. (Ahem: Night-sweats anyone?) They also are costly to produce, which is what gives them such a high price tag.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-5Reasons-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-679 size-large" src="http://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Product_compressed-1024x1007.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="606" /></a></p>
<p>As a woman with expensive taste but an average person’s amount of money, finding a set of sheets that felt heavenly was a journey. But on my quest, I found a company on the Amazon&#8217;s Top 100 Sellers list called <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-5Reasons-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House Collection</a>. I’ve become extremely fond of their bed sheets because they look and feel softer than Egyptian cotton but are insanely affordable ($47)! I also found that I’m actually sleeping through the night now and my body is feeling so much healthier, thanks to these sheets.</p>
<p>Remember the “Three C’s” I mentioned earlier? <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-5Reasons-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House</a> exceeds my expectations in every area. I ordered the 1500 Series sheets in white and they are so buttery smooth that they feel creamy, but also cool to the touch! Can I tell you the best part? They actually get SOFTER with every wash. I used to be a “Sweaty Betty” throughout the night &#8211; and then I’d wake up for work, needing to shower immediately. But with these sheets, I rise feeling fresh and so clean! I also recommend these sheets because they don’t hardly ever wrinkle, even after a week of being slept in.</p>
<p>Waking up feeling clean and well-rested has changed everything for me. And, I’ve also noticed that my chronic migraines have ceased. The <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-5Reasons-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House</a> website says their hypoallergenic sheets are designed to wick moisture to eliminate 100% of bacteria and germs &#8211; so I guess bacteria in my previous set of sheets is what was causing my head pain in the first place. It’s amazing what changing your sheets can do for your well-being &#8211; if I had known that my bed sheets were sucking the life from my health and happiness, I would’ve made the switch years ago!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-5Reasons-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-715 size-large" src="http://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Compilation_Compressed_WHITE-1024x725.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="436" /></a></p>
<p>It’s been a little over a month since I first purchased these sheets, and I can confidently say that they’re the best bed sheets I’ve ever put on my bed. I’m also confident to say that I’ll be a customer for life &#8211; I just ordered a second set in warming winter colors to match my decor for the upcoming season! They have so many great colors to choose from, it was hard to choose. And they’re only $47, so somebody should probably stop me from buying a set in every color!</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-5Reasons-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House</a> website highlights these features as the top selling points for their 1500 series:</p>
<h2>1. Resists Stains, Odor, &amp; Wrinkles</h2>
<p>Our silky soft sheets are woven with advanced lab technology and are designed to repel stains and wrinkles.</p>
<h2>2. Crisp &amp; Cozy</h2>
<p>Thermal-regulated microfibers keep body temperature in balance, no matter the season.</p>
<h2>3. Hypoallergenic &amp; Antibacterial</h2>
<p>They prevent bacteria, germs, dust mites, and allergens from growing to keep your skin and sinuses clear.</p>
<h2>4. Long Lifespan</h2>
<p>They resist ripping, piling, and tearing with sheets made to last the long haul. We don’t compromise durability for softness, though.</p>
<h2>5. Luxurious Look &amp; Feel</h2>
<p>Premium double-brushed microfiber is designed to feel and look sleek and smooth like Egyptian cotton.</p>
<p>Don’t just believe me, though. See for yourself the crazy good ratings they got on Amazon!!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-5Reasons-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-678 size-full" src="http://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Amazon_compressed.png" alt="" width="663" height="531" /></a></p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Honestly, their sheets felt like they should cost more than they did &#8211; but I’m not complaining! I contacted <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-5Reasons-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House</a> to see how they’re able to sell their sheets for such a reasonable price, because I’m “nosey”. Their sweet customer service representative got back to me just minutes later and relayed their whole mission:</p>
<p>They’re able to make and sell beautiful home essentials at a wholesale level price by cutting out the costly middlemen. Did you know that the average retail markup is 4x more expensive than the product’s really worth? <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-5Reasons-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House</a> decided to skip those crazy costs like wholesale, storefront, and designer licensing fees, to guarantee that all of their asking prices are going towards the quality of the products and nothing else.</p>
<p>Consider me sold! I also learned that their sheets are designed and shipped from Clearwater, Florida by the company themselves. They’re a family-owned and operated company who’s been crafting luxurious bedding for decades and now only use Amazon and their online store to sell their products. I highly recommend trying <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-5Reasons-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House</a> for sheets that will give you a better night’s rest, improve your health, and make you feel like you’re sleeping in more expensive sheets than you are! Their whole site is 65% OFF right now and they do sell out fast &#8211; so hurry, if you’re wanting to get them in your preferred size &amp; color! I hope changing your sheets helps you as much as it did me.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s not rocket science, but typically we overlook the significant details when choosing bed sheets that promote serenity and deep sleep. Sleeping in the right sheets plays is pivotal to our quality of rest &#8211; either keeping us cool, clean, and dreamily comfortable, or trapping us in a sweaty cocoon that’s hot and odorous. Personally, I prefer the first!</p>
<p>Like most people, I base my decision off of fabric type and price point. Fabrics are mainly categorized in two ways: natural material (cotton) and synthetic material (microfiber). Believe it or not, both cotton and microfiber sheets have low-quality versions and luxury versions. I’m definitely guilty of associating cotton fabric with higher quality, but I was shocked to find out that that’s not the case.</p>
<p>Did you know that the average retail markup is 4x more expensive than the product’s really worth? Some products are more expensive because they’re truly great; others have a steep price tag because they’re costly to produce. In the sheet world, this has nothing to do with how soft they feel or how they perform. For example, cotton sheets are <strong>expensive</strong> to make. There are a lot of costs that come with growing, farming, cleaning, and distributing the cotton to the factories before they can be woven into fabric. Those costs all get tagged onto the final price of the product that customers pay for ($147 for a set of sheets seems a bit steep now, doesn’t it?). Microfiber is typically less expensive NOT because it’s lesser quality, but because it is a man-made fabric that costs less to produce. It’s no secret that microfiber sheets have gotten a bad reputation as cotton’s lesser-quality alternative. But I’m willing to bet that if that’s your belief, then you haven’t tried “smart” microfiber sheets. Be warned, because this modern fabric is nothing like its substandard counterpart.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-Swap-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-696 size-large" src="http://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/product-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="462" /></a></p>
<p>When it comes to bed sheets, there are great benefits to choosing high quality microfiber fabric over cotton fabric because they’re specifically engineered for better sleep and optimal health. Like I said, there’s regular microfiber and then there’s “smart” performance microfiber which wicks away sweat, moisture, bacteria, allergens, and keeps you freshly cool all night. It’s also usually “double-brushed”, so that they feel soft as silk. <u>This</u> is the kind of microfiber that deserves to be on your bed.</p>
<p>After years of splurging on ever-popular Egyptian cotton, I learned that high quality sheets actually don’t have to be expensive (or made from Egyptian cotton) in order to feel extremely luxurious. I was surprised to find that high quality, “smart” microfiber is SOFTER and COOLER than cotton! I’d tried microfiber sheets in the past, and clearly they were not advanced like these ones, because for years I’d thought microfiber was cheap and scratchy! But the double-brushed microfiber sheets I’m about to recommend to you are hands-down the best sheets I’ve ever put on my bed. They come from a small company on the Amazon top 100 Sellers list &#8211; and for good reason. The brand is called <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-Swap-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House Collection</a> and they are so indulgent and insanely affordable- only $47 for the entire sheet set. I ordered the 1500 Series sheets in white and I fell in love instantly. The material, quality, color, and fit of the sheets are perfect. I’ve never slept better on any other sheets that I’ve purchased and that price point of $47 is unbeatable for how soft and cool they are.</p>
<p>Can I tell you the best part? These sheets got rid of my night sweats! I used to lie in bed, drenched in sweat, but these sheets keep me crispy cool throughout the night. They also don’t wrinkle or get dirty easily, which means less laundry for me! The <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-Swap-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House</a> website says their hypoallergenic sheets are designed to wick moisture to eliminate the growth of bacteria and germs, which is a huge problem with cotton sheets since they absorb moisture. It’s really nice to know that when I’m slipping into my bed, I’m not also slipping into a breeding ground of dust mites (and not to mention, dust mite feces).</p>
<p>It’s been about a month since I first purchased these sheets and I can confidently say that <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-Swap-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House</a> will be my go-to for all bedding essentials from now on. I just ordered a few more sets in different colors so that I’m never without them on my bed! They have so many beautiful color options, I was tempted to by a set in every color since they’re less than $50. Thankfully, my self-control kicked in.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-Swap-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-695" src="http://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/front-1024x980.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="590" /></a></p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-Swap-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House</a> website highlights these features as the top selling points for their 1500 series and I can vouch that they are 100% accurate!</p>
<h2>1. Resists Stains, Odor, &amp; Wrinkles</h2>
<p>Our silky soft sheets are woven with advanced lab technology and are designed to repel stains and wrinkles.</p>
<h2>2. Crisp &amp; Cozy</h2>
<p>Thermal-regulated microfibers keep body temperature in balance, no matter the season.</p>
<h2>3. Hypoallergenic &amp; Antibacterial</h2>
<p>They prevent bacteria, germs, dust mites, and allergens from growing to keep your skin and sinuses clear.</p>
<h2>4. Long Lifespan</h2>
<p>They resist ripping, piling, and tearing with sheets made to last the long haul. We don’t compromise durability for softness, though.</p>
<h2>5. Luxurious Look &amp; Feel</h2>
<p>Premium double-brushed microfiber is designed to feel and look sleek and smooth like Egyptian cotton.</p>
<p>If you don’t want to believe some random blogger on the internet, I can respect that. But you know what doesn’t lie? Amazon reviews. Check out their 4.5 star ratings across the board!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-Swap-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-678" src="http://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Amazon_compressed.png" alt="" width="663" height="531" /></a></p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>When sheets feel like they should cost more than they do, you have to wonder how such a great savings have fallen upon you. So to make sure I wasn’t being bamboozled, I contacted <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-Swap-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House</a> to inquire how they’re able to sell their sheets for such a reasonable price. Their friendly customer service representative got back to me just minutes later and explained their whole mission:</p>
<p>They’re able to make and sell beautiful home essentials at a wholesale level price by cutting out the middlemen. <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-Swap-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House</a> decided to skip those crazy costs like wholesale, storefront, and designer licensing fees to guarantee that all of their asking prices are going towards the quality of their products and nothing else.</p>
<p>I fell even more in love. It was so refreshing to work with a company that actually valued a fair and humble business model. I also learned that their sheets are designed and shipped from Clearwater, Florida by the company themselves. They’re a family owned and operated company who’s been crafting luxurious bedding for decades now and only use Amazon and their online store to sell their products. I highly recommend trying <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-Swap-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House</a> for sheets that will give you a better night’s rest and save you a big chunk of money! Their whole site is 65% OFF right now and they do sell out fast &#8211; so hurry, if you’re considering giving them a try. I hope changing your sheets to <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-Swap-1500-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House</a> helps you as much as it did me!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to your health and happiness, getting a good night’s sleep is crucial. And to get good sleep, you need a bed that <em>promotes </em>restfulness, not disturbs it. It’s easy to overlook your bed’s key components, but the most important are the comfort, coolness, and cleanliness of your bed sheets! So, I compared bed sheets from the top online bedding companies to see which worked best for sleep. Surprisingly, the more expensive sheets were <em>not </em>the most sleep-friendly&#8230;.</p>
<p>Doctors say that we get the deepest, healthiest sleep when our bodies are cool, comfortable, and able to breathe. There’s no denying that Egyptian cotton feels silky soft. But, science shows that cotton sheets hang on to moisture, cause allergies, and make you hot at night. They also cost a lot to produce, which makes them the most expensive option.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-1500-H6-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-481 size-large" src="https://www.smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="462" srcset="https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1-768x576.jpg 768w, https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1-816x612.jpg 816w, https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1.jpg 1632w" sizes="(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px" /></a></p>
<p>I came across a unique company called <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-1500-H6-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House Collection</a> as an Amazon Best Seller. Reviews said they’ve been rattling the bedding industry with their luxury bed sheets that look and feel softer than Egyptian cotton, but without the high cost. The truth about inexpensive sheets (like the ones used by <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-1500-H6-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House</a>) are still made of premium quality and even have advanced abilities that <u>enhance </u>our quality of sleep!</p>
<p>So, I ordered a set of sheets in hot pink, Queen size to see if they lived up to their reputation. The sheets arrived the next day after ordering and slid very easily on top of my deep-set mattress!</p>
<p>I was looking for ultra-softness, breath-ability, and coolness &#8211; and <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-1500-H6-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House Collection&#8217;s</a> Microfiber 1500 Series bed sheets impressed me in all three ways! I put them in the washer and then put them on our bed later that night &amp; I have to say after my first night sleeping on them, I woke up feeling fresh and relaxed, like I’d slept for days. During the night, I didn’t wake up once (which I usually do from night sweats). The sheets kept me nice and cool, but still cozy. And I noticed that <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-1500-H6-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House</a> sheets stayed fresh and didn’t wrinkle one bit, even after a week of being slept in!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-1500-H6-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-484 size-large" src="https://www.smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/3-1024x725.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="436" srcset="https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/3-1024x725.jpg 1024w, https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/3-300x213.jpg 300w, https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/3-768x544.jpg 768w, https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/3-816x578.jpg 816w" sizes="(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px" /></a></p>
<p>I can genuinely say that waking up feeling clean and well-rested starts me off on the right foot every day. Their website says that their sheets are designed to wick moisture to keep away bacteria and germs. My migraines and sinus problems have really cleared up, since I’m not breathing in allergens as I sleep. As someone who’s been sleeping on their sheets for the past month now, I’m confident saying that they’re hands down the best sheets I’ve ever put on my bed.</p>
<p>$47 is all it cost me for a four-piece set that completely improved my sleep, mood, and energy levels.</p>
<blockquote><p>The only reason you <u>shouldn&#8217;t</u> try these sheets is if you hate soft things and want to spend an absurd amount of money.</p></blockquote>
<p>The <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-1500-H6-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House </a>website also notes these key features:</p>
<h2>#1. Stain &amp; Wrinkle Resistant</h2>
<p>Because their sheets are woven with advanced lab technology, they are designed to repel stains and wrinkles.</p>
<h2>#2. Cooling Yet Cozy</h2>
<p>Their sheets are crafted to maintain your body temperature at a comfortable balance. So you’ll stay cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and feel fresh when you wake up all year long.</p>
<h2>#3. Moisture Wicking</h2>
<p>What makes their sheets rare and unique is the added benefit of wicking moisture and preventing bacteria and dust mites from growing. This will keep your skin cooler and cleaner.</p>
<h2>#4. Durable Yet Soft</h2>
<p>Their soft yet durable weaves make for long-lasting sheets that still allow the body to breathe. They also resist ripping, piling, and tearing.</p>
<h2>#5. Luxurious Look</h2>
<p>Made from premium double-brushed microfiber, these sheets are designed to feel as luxuriously soft as Egyptian cotton and look just as sleek.</p>
<p><strong>I was shocked&#8230;.</strong></p>
<p>They even appeared to get an incredibly good rating on Amazon too!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-1500-H6-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-485 size-full" src="https://www.smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/amazonre.png" alt="" width="663" height="531" srcset="https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/amazonre.png 663w, https://smartlifetips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/amazonre-300x240.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px" /></a></p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>I wanted to know how exactly they could sell these elegant sheets for so cheap if they were such high quality, so I contacted <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-1500-H6-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House </a>directly. The owners of <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-1500-H6-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House </a>personally got back to me the same day! They said that they believe “getting a good night’s sleep shouldn’t cost a fortune. It’s an essential part of life that keeps us alive and healthy. It’s our honor to give the gift of quality sleep to people at an affordable price”.</p>
<p>The sheets are designed/shipped from Clearwater, Florida by the company, themselves. Turns out, they’re a family-owned company who’s been creating top-shelf bedding for decades and only using Amazon and online stores to sell their products (which is how they cut down on costs)! Their customer service is truly impactful and you can tell that they’re putting the money into the quality of their products, instead of their pockets.</p>
<p>If you have trouble sleeping or your sheets could use an upgrade (which they most likely can), consider trying <a href="https://www.cosyhousecollection.com/products/1500-series-bed-sheets-queen-size?fs=1&amp;utm_campaign=SmartLifeTips-1500-H6-V1&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_source=Facebook">Cosy House</a>! They offer beautiful colors in all sizes. I just ordered a second pair for my guest room and the whole site is 65% OFF! So head over to their site before they sell out!</p>

<p>With plants that are potted being so confined they rely on us to keep them healthy, here are a few tips to help feed your plants and maintain their look.</p>
<p>Most compost only provides starter nutrients for your plants, so the best solution is feeding them after 6 weeks of planting them.</p>
<h5>Stick to liquid feed<img loading="lazy" class="alignright" src="https://nurserylive.com/images/stories/virtuemart/product/nurserylive-top-five-plants-to-attract-money.jpg" alt="Image result for plants" width="205" height="205" /></h5>
<p>Liquid feeds are much better for your plants because you&#8217;re less likely to do harm to the roots this way, solid feeds need to be carefully measured out in order to not over feed them and scorch their roots.</p>
<h5>Use the right feed</h5>
<p>Diluted liquid tomato feed is perfect for flowering plants, dilute to half or quarter strength before feeding, and high nitrogen feeds are great for leafy plants.</p>
<h5>Don&#8217;t overfeed</h5>
<p>Don&#8217;t feed in large, infrequent doses, but instead feed in regular little doses so that they&#8217;re never overfed. Do this through the growing season and stop at the end of the hotter months.</p>
<p><img src="http://textureplants.co.nz/sites/default/files/Watering.jpg" alt="Image result for watering plants" /></p>
<h5>Dilute the feed</h5>
<p>Always read the instructions on the feed bottle, they suggest diluting instructions and should be followed so you don&#8217;t harm your plants.</p>

<p>Keeping your lawn perfectly green and healthy might seem like a difficult task, but we&#8217;re here to try and help you.</p>
<h5>Make sure your garden has the best of starts</h5>
<p>Make sure your soil is well fertilized before you even sow your grass seeds, ensuring that the fertilizer is high in long-term nutrients such as phosphate and not to have too much nitrogen. This will give your grass the best of starts.</p>
<h5>Weed and moss control for your lawn</h5>
<p>The best looking lawns are always free of weeds and moss. Using a weed killer a couple of times a year will help keep them at bay. May is usually the best time to administer the weed and moss control, grab yourself a four in one fertilizer which will not only keep the weeds and moss at bay, but also give your lawn a slow releasing feed all summer long.</p>
<h5>Plan a lawn fertilizer program</h5>
<p>Draft yourself up a plan for a yearly fertilizer program for your lawn and stick to it the best you can. Set yourself reminders on a calendar of what to buy and what dates to fertilize and each time of year it needs doing.</p>
<p>Throughout the year there are certain fertilizers which benefit that season, for example in spring, get yourself a high nitrogen, quick release fertilizer so your lawn is off to a strong start for the year ahead.</p>
<p>In the colder months find a fertilizer full of potassium, this will make your grass much more resistant to the cold, you should apply this around September to last through to spring.</p>
<p><img src="https://d2gg9evh47fn9z.cloudfront.net/800px_COLOURBOX1486825.jpg" alt="Image result for green grass" /></p>
<h5>Make sure to water your lawn</h5>
<p>Grab yourself a sprinkler or a hose pipe so you&#8217;re able to reach all parts of your lawn. Always ensure that you water your lawn enough and wait until they begin to dry before watering again, over watering can lead to deeper root systems which can eat up the nutrients in your soil, keep it to a shallow watering to keep the roots shallow.</p>

<p>Good posture is something that seems to be missed and forgotten about, there&#8217;s no quick fix I&#8217;m afraid to having good posture as you need to be aware of it all day, every day. Having good posture helps with blood flow and reduces the risk of having problems with your joints and muscles further down the line. Here are some tips to helping you maintain good posture.</p>
<h5>1.) Sitting in your chair correctly</h5>
<p>Slouching is an easy, and quite comfortable thing to do, but it&#8217;s no good for your back or muscles. The correct way to sit at a desk chair in particular, but this can apply to any seat, is to place both of your feet on the floor keeping your knees level with your hips. Ensure your back is against the back of the chair, and raise your chin slightly so the top of your head points towards the ceiling.</p>
<p><img src="https://www.entmirror.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/36befe02f4_111.png" alt="Image result for looking in the mirror" /></p>
<h5>2.) Look in the mirror</h5>
<p>Check that your shoulders aren&#8217;t slouched and that they&#8217;re square, that your chest is pushed out, pull in your stomach and bum and relax your knees.</p>
<h5>3.) Find a wall</h5>
<p>Stand with your back against a wall, with your heels slightly away from the wall. Make sure your head and shoulders are also touching the wall but make sure there&#8217;s enough space to comfortably fit your hands between the wall and your back, then you know you have the correct posture.</p>

<p>Even the most organized of moms could use some help in this area, its not easy juggling between what one child is doing when the other two are doing something else that needs your attention, here are a few tips we&#8217;ve gathered from some mom&#8217;s we surveyed.</p>
<h5>1.) Get your children to help out</h5>
<p>Make it a game, make it rewarding, whatever you do to getting your kids to help out with some of the chores can be a big help when it comes to everything they can&#8217;t do that you need to do, ask them to vacuum the living room while you&#8217;re making tea. Or let them do the dishes while you&#8217;re wiping down the sides.</p>
<h5>2.) Hire as much help as you can afford</h5>
<p>There&#8217;s no shame in needing to ask for some help when having to juggle home life with work and personal life, whether you hire a babysitter every now and then so you can focus on what you need doing, or a cleaner so you can spend more time with the kids, it all helps and keeps the grey&#8217;s away for longer.</p>
<p><img src="http://couriernews.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/lots-of-parcels-563x353.png" alt="Image result for parcels" /></p>
<h5>3.) Order things online</h5>
<p>Taking the kids out shopping can be a days chore in itself, and not always fun for the kids either. Do an online grocery shop, order their clothes and other things online so you can concentrate on other things like cleaning or spending time with your kids.</p>
<h5>4.) Don&#8217;t compare yourself to other mothers or your own</h5>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to over hear how other mother&#8217;s are coping well with their children, but what you don&#8217;t know is most of the time it&#8217;s a front and they&#8217;re actually screaming inside. As for comparing your mothering skills to your own mother&#8217;s, time&#8217;s have changed, there are more distractions for the kids these days, and when you was a kid yourself she was superwoman, did everything for you, and that&#8217;s exactly what your kids will think of you when they&#8217;ve grown up too.</p>
<p><img src="https://www.seriouseats.com/images/2015/09/20150914-pressure-cooker-recipes-roundup-07.jpg" alt="Image result for pressure cooker food" /></p>
<h5>5.) Pressure cookers save time for tea time</h5>
<p>After a long hard day at work your second hardest job when you get home is to prepare and cook everyone&#8217;s meal. Adding a slow cooker to your life makes things 10x easier and faster. You can prepare your food in the morning or the night before, and let the cooker work its magic through the day when you&#8217;re at work to have tea ready for when you&#8217;re all at home in the evening.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.topukluhaber.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/cocuk-haklari-44.jpg" alt="Related image" /></p>
<h5>6.) Sit back and look at your amazing family</h5>
<p>As stressful as raising children can be most of the time, you&#8217;ve got to appreciate the time you have with them as children, because next thing you know they&#8217;re no longer children. So enjoy the time you have with them as they grow, don&#8217;t let life&#8217;s pressures get you down or interfere with the time you have with your children, and just enjoy it and make sure they&#8217;re enjoying the ride too.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Grated cheese comes as a welcome tasty addition to all kinds of dishes, but the process behind creating that lovely cheesy dish can be a pain, and we&#8217;re not only talking about the grating, but the actual cleaning of the grater once you&#8217;ve used it. That fatty, soft cheese can get stuck inside the holes on your grater making it difficult to clean out and you run the risk of cutting yourself.<img loading="lazy" class="alignright" src="https://atmedia.imgix.net/9c6fa473693bbe2ce6a5891e48bce039338ccdb9?auto=format&amp;q=45&amp;w=250.0&amp;h=250.0&amp;fit=max&amp;cs=strip" alt="Image result for dirty cheese grater" width="178" height="178" /></p>
<p>So obviously your grater needs to be clean to reduce the risk of dirty days or weeks old cheese being stuck in their and ruining your next meal, here&#8217;s a handy tip to get it cheese free and ready for your next meal without the fuss.</p>
<h4>Lemons are a fantastic cleaning tool!</h4>
<p>Have you ever wondered why so many cleaning products use an acidic formula to cut away grease and give off that fresh zesty lemony smell? That&#8217;s because the natural properties of a lemon and the acidity reacts to the grease and breaks it up making it easy to wash away.</p>
<p><img src="https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/766/images/lemon-uses-0-1494115921.jpg" alt="Image result for lemon" /></p>
<p>All you need to do to use a lemon to de-cheese that grater of yours is to cut it in half, then run the pulp side of the lemon over the grater&#8217;s holes as if you&#8217;re grating it. Don&#8217;t worry if some of the pulp grates off into the holes, just give the lemon some time to work at the cheese and then rinse off with some very hot water.</p>
<p>For the harder to remove, weeks old kind of stuck on cheese, all you need to do is add a little bit of salt to the lemon to give it some roughness, do the same as above by leaving it a while and rinsing to remove the stuck on cheese.</p>

<h4 style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>6 of the best spring cleaning tips for pet owners!</em></strong></span></h4>
<h6>1.) Keep the air in your home fresh and healthy.</h6>
<p>The first step and one of the most important steps in the list, open some some of your windows and let the fresh air flow through your home, sunlight is also great as it has some disinfecting properties!</p>
<p>An Ionizer and air filter will help keep hairs and dust under control too. This is even more useful for those with allergies. To finish it all off get yourself a nice natural air freshener, plug ins tend to work well letting off a persistent fresh smell into the home.</p>
<h6>2.) Make hoovering a more effective task</h6>
<p>Hoovering your home may seem like a daunting and pointless task when it comes to pet hair getting everywhere, but just doing something as simple as applying a little water to your carpet before hoovering and running over it with a rubber broom can help remove most of the hairs, a quick hoover after and your room should be almost completely hair free.</p>
<p>While hoovering don&#8217;t forget to run your hoover head in multiple directions to help loosen those stubborn hairs.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter" src="https://i.investopedia.com/inv/articles/slideshow/popular-pets/catdog.jpg?quality=80&amp;width=680&amp;height=680" alt="All pets make a mess!" width="640" height="334" /></p>
<h6>3.) Use lint rollers/sellotape</h6>
<p>Lint rollers are a fantastic and a quick way of removing hairs immediately and can help prevent a build up in your home. They&#8217;re also fantastic when it comes to your clothes, your pets like brushing up on you and tend to leave their hairs on your clothes in the process, sellotape also works a treat for times like these.</p>
<h6>4.) Buy some covers</h6>
<p>After making your home pet-hair free you&#8217;ll want to invest in some covers for your <img loading="lazy" class="alignright" src="https://ksassets.timeincuk.net/wp/uploads/sites/56/2018/02/Aldi-pets-Plastic-petbed.jpg" alt="Dogs love rolling about" width="366" height="366" />furniture, they&#8217;re great at protecting your furniture from scratches and stains. Then once they&#8217;re dirty you can simply remove them and throw them in your washing machine. As for furniture, tightly woven fabric sofa&#8217;s and leather tend to be the best for pet owners as they&#8217;re easy to wipe down and keep clean.</p>
<h6>5.) Keep your pets groomed</h6>
<p>The more often you keep your pets groomed, the less chance you have of hairs getting everywhere, a simple brush down every other day or bath can help with the build up of hairs and with the odor. If your pets tend to smell a little funky more often that you&#8217;d like, you can always invest in specialized pet shampoo&#8217;s and deodorants which certainly smell much more pleasant.</p>
<p>Also to avoid scratches and clipping of the carpet treat them to a full groom by getting their nails trimmed, and while you&#8217;re at it get their coat trimmed too to avoid the hair going everywhere.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter" src="https://www.thenewsgeeks.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/adorablepets-e1505056890532.jpg" alt="Tired after a long walk" width="1200" height="585" /></p>
<h6>6.) leave the dirt outside</h6>
<p>After going on walks with your dog do your best to clean them outside to stop the dirt from going into your home, and if your dog was being adventurous by splashing around in puddles or running through muddy fields we&#8217;d also recommend giving them a bath to avoid stains when they lay down, after all, all of that running around will have them worn out.</p>
