5 ways to warm up your bed without heating: simple hacks for the night.

According to The Sun: Nights are getting shorter, and there's a chill in the air.

Before turning on the heating and raising your bills, use these simple tips to create a cozy atmosphere and ensure a comfortable sleep.

BLANKETS:

One way to keep warm in winter is with a warm blanket.

The optimal thickness for blankets during the cold months is 13.5.

The Slumberdown Sleep Soundly blanket now costs £28 instead of £13.97 at Asda.

TOPPERS:

Don't underestimate the benefit of a simple fleece blanket laid over the main one.

Primark fleece blankets are only £4 — the perfect way to add an extra layer of warmth.

It's significantly cheaper than buying an electric blanket. And if it gets too warm, you can easily take them off.

For added warmth, you can purchase a thermal mattress topper from Wowcher.co.uk for £14.99 instead of £39.99.

PILLOW POWER:

If your pillows look flat, it's time to refresh them.

B&M offers a pair of Simply Everyday Easy Care pillows for just £1. Before using them, make sure to fluff them well.

To restore the fluffiness of old pillows, try washing them in a warm solution with white vinegar.

Let them dry on a rack, shaking them occasionally while drying.

CATCH THE HEAT:

To warm up for a few hours, fill a hot water bottle before bed.

But don't just place it under your feet.

Place it in the middle of the bed 30 minutes before sleep to warm up the bedding.

Quality hot water bottles can be found for £7 at Dunelm.

SOCKS:

It may sound simple, but warm socks can significantly improve your comfort on a cold night.

Home Bargains offers two pairs of fleece for just £2.50.

Warm feet help create a cozy feeling and may aid in falling asleep faster.
