THE EDIT

When the day’s guests had gone from the Adairs Summer House, Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock stayed behind to record one more bed styling masterclass, just for you.  She starts with one of the questions she hears most about bed linen: does thread count really matter? Elle’s answer is a personal one. A sleep retreat, and time with a sleep psychologist, showed her how sensitive she is to her surroundings. Around the same time she swapped the sheets on her own bed and, for her, it “changed everything”.  From there it’s a practical guide to building a bed around the way you sleep. Elle shares the questions to ask before you buy and the fabric to try if you run hot. She talks through linen and the different cotton weaves, and how to get a plump, high-loft quilt with or without feathers.  Then comes the styling, including a bed cover look borrowed from the beds she grew up with and a pillow trick from magazine shoots. Elle also explains why the size of your room should decide how many cushions go on the bed.  This episode is presented in partnership with Adairs and was recorded at the Adairs Summer House at Villa Alezalia, in Bellevue Hill, Sydney, during the launch of the new Adairs summer collection.  Moments You'll Hear:   * Does thread count really matter, and what to ask yourself before you buy sheets  * The fabric Elle suggests for hot sleepers, and the one that feels like your favourite T-shirt  * Why linen sheets are a safe buy, trend or not  * How to get a plump, high-loft quilt if down and feather isn’t for you  * The bed cover look Elle grew up with, and a fresher take on the throw at the end of the bed  * A note for anyone who rests their head on the display pillows  * The magazine shoot trick for perfectly stacked (or standing) pillows  You can find Adairs on Instagram here and Home Beautiful here  Shop the newly arrived Adairs homewares collection here - or copy and paste this link into your browser: https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/aremedia_6163c_homebeautiful?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.skimresources.com%3Fid%3D105419X1625128%26xs%3D1%26xcust%3Dhbe-ytb-HB_THEEDIT%26url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.adairs.com.au%252Fnew%252F&p=HB_THEEDIT&Test=&AdditionalInfo= 🎧 Listen to The Edit and follow on Apple Podcasts  Listen and follow on Spotify  👀 Watch and subscribe to The Edit on Home Beautiful's YouTube  Watch full episodes  Credits:  Host: Elle Lovelock  In partnership with: Adairs  Filmed and edited by: Thomas Crnkovic  Head of Vodcasting: Rachel Fountain  With thanks to our wonderful Home Beautiful team.  The Edit is a production of Home Beautiful and Are Media.     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
