Welcome to another week, and I do hope you’ve enjoyed your Easter break. Isn’t the weather gorgeous?
So, to kick off this week, I’ve a fabulous giveaway courtesy of the lovely people at Polefit Bedding. They want to offer one lucky winner a complete Polefit Bedding package worth up to £162. The winner gets to choose the package suitable for them and their home from the range.
Do you like to give your home a Spring clean or makeover? The sunnier weather certainly makes me feel like swapping the cushions for lighter, brighter prints, and changing the beds to fresher bedding. I might even get the duster out and give the place a clean! At the very least, it’s a time of year when we all realise how much the windows need cleaning. Darn that sunshine.
But let’s just get back to the beds. As part of a spring clean, I do like to turn and freshen the mattress. It’s a two person job so it doesn’t get done that often, which is why I was interested in the Polefit Bedding system. Polefit Bedding has created an integrated set of products that combine together to dress your mattress in the most effective way.
The central product is the Polefit™ bed sheet which is stretched and held in place using poles and straps. In order to fit the Polefit™ bed sheet the bed must first be setup which will take around 30 minutes. When this is done the bed sheet can be fitted and removed quickly and with less effort than a conventional sheet.
To enhance the appearance of the mattress a base sheet can also be fitted which covers the sides of mattress. The base sheet is fitted when the bed is set up and does not have to be removed. A mattress protector is also available which is held in place by the Polefit™ bed sheet making it easier to fit and remove than conventional protectors.
In terms of benefits, you get a perfectly fitted sheet with minimum effort after the initial setup. You get greater comfort with a smoother sheet and less wrinkles in the bed, plus low maintenance with the sheets looking better for longer. Finally, you have a bed to show off with a contemporary and stylish finish.
You can view the different packages available, and identify which is most suitable for your bed, on the Polefit bedding website here.
If you would like to enter the giveaway to win a Polefit Bedding package, all you need to do is follow the Rafflecopter instructions below, and tweet the message. There are several extra entries to follow Polefit Bedding on Twitter and sign up to their email newsletter if you wish. Completing these extra entries will give you a greater chance of winning the prize.
Giveaway Closes: Tuesday 28th April 2015
UK Entries Only
Good Luck!
