How to get a five-star bed

There is no need to visit a five-star hotel to sleep in a luxurious bed as one newspaper has published tips on how people can achieve their dream sleep at home.

Writing for the Guardian, Olga Polizzi, director of design at the Rocco Forte Collection, states that a few improvements to a bed can provide months and months of comfort.

She suggests that buying a new bed or mattress is the first step to a super-sleep.

A natural topper can then be placed on top of the mattress before the sheets are added.

It is suggested that four pillows are used, each with a protector to go under the case as it means they last longer.

Finally, Ms Polizzi says people need "a good duvet. Ideally the most expensive ones are down but you can buy feather and down for less".

Anyone who likes to sleep in luxury may find that putting a deluxe mattress from Tempur on their bed does the trick.
