Secrets of Southern Design - What’s Under Your Bedding? It Matters!

Remember – even if your room looks fabulous on the outside, what you choose to lay your head on is most important!

There is a plethora of choices in the market place, but I have found universally, people rest best on a mattress that has a firm coil but a soft body. Most people automatically say that they like a firm mattress, only to discover that those firm mattresses provide many a person with “hot spots” and aches and pains to boot.

As for bedding, there are many ready made bedsets on the market that are acceptable. It is very easy to customize some of the ready made sets by adding a custom bedskirt and pillows. At Knotting Hill, we often advise clients to purchase a ready made coverlet and let us customize the look with the bedskirt and pillows and perhaps a folded duvet at the foot of the bed. Bonus – Little Luxury! Footpillows are a big part of our bedding ensembles at Knotting Hill. We will have our workroom tuft a lovely footpillow for the foot of the bed. It’s a much less expensive option than a folded duvet which takes a minimum of 11 yards of fabric! The footpillow only uses a few yards of fabric and still looks beautiful. Love the little luxury of a “foot pillow” at the end of the bed instead of a
