September Rhythms: Back to Routine
As summer drifts into autumn, families across the UK feel the change. Bedtimes grow earlier, alarms are set once again, and school mornings return. Bedrooms suddenly need to serve many roles: restful at night, calm in the morning, and durable enough for the demands of busy households.
At Leruum, we believe every bedroom tells a story, and the back-to-school season is about starting a fresh chapter of rhythm and comfort.
Sleep: the cornerstone of routine
Children, especially younger ones, thrive on consistent bedtimes. Research shows school-age children need 9–12 hours of sleep, while adults benefit from 7–9. The right bedding can make this shift easier: breathable fabrics that help the body relax, soft colours that create calm, and a bed that feels like a place of comfort, not conflict.
Creating Cosy Family Bedrooms with Leruum
1. Crisp cotton for school nights
Pure cotton percale helps regulate temperature, so children don’t overheat. The Magenta Ditsy Percale Set brings a playful touch, while the Grey Geometric Percale Set offers a calmer look that’s perfect for teens.
2. Easy layers for busy mornings
Throws and blankets are ideal for early autumn when mornings start cool. Leruum’s Recycled Plaid Checker Throws fold neatly at the foot of the bed, ready to pull up quickly after a rushed school run.
3. Colour cues for calmer evenings
Autumn palettes like Tawny Orange and Botanical Green create a cosy, grounding tone. Paired with crisp white or grey sheets, they help ease the transition from bright summer nights to earlier autumn evenings.
Tips for Smoother School Mornings
-
Set the scene: Use breathable bedding to keep children from waking too hot or too cold.
-
Prepare the bed at night: Encourage children to lay out their throw or cushion in the evening, making the morning tidy-up quicker.
-
Keep extras ready: Have an extra fitted sheet and pillowcase set on hand for midweek changes with less hassle.
Why Cotton Matters for Families
Cotton is not only breathable but also durable and easy to wash. With weekly washes recommended for children’s bedding, Leruum’s percale fabrics stay soft and crisp even with frequent laundering. This makes them practical for households where beds are at the heart of busy routines.
FAQs
Q: How often should children’s bedding be washed?
A: Weekly washes are best for hygiene, especially during school term.
Q: What bedding colours help with sleep?
A: Softer tones such as grey, green, and white are calming. Brighter accents like orange or floral prints can be added in smaller touches for personality.
Q: Can throws replace a duvet?
A: In early autumn, a light throw layered over a sheet may be enough for warmer nights. As the season cools, keep the throw as a layering option with your duvet.
