When Husband and I were young and childless, we loved a duvet day (not like that, get your mind out of the gutter!). We’d spend all day lying around, watching movies, eating junk food and listening to music. It was pure bliss to only have ourselves to think of, and although I wouldn’t be without our girls for all the world, I do look back to those idyllic days with great fondness.
These days, my ideal duvet day would look very different and the people at Eve Mattress have asked me to tell you all about it, so that I can be in with the chance of winning one of their mattresses.
First of all, I’d need some help in the form of serious transportation. You see, my ideal duvet day wouldn’t happen in sunny, sunny Southend on Sea. Oh no. It would happen here:
That’s Vakarufalhi, the tiny little Maldivian island where Husband and I got married. Husband, the girls and I, as well as our dog Chuck, would need to get a plane, seaplane and boat all the way to the South Ari Atoll before we could enjoy our duvet day. Obviously, we wouldn’t need a 15 tog duvet, but a bed like this, on the beach with the waves lapping at the shore just meters away, would be an absolute must:
Husband and I could lounge on the bed, having someone bring us cocktails (in moderation, of course!) and freshly caught seafood while the girls paddled in the clear sea and Chuck dug in the white sand for hermit crabs.
For dinner, someone would bring us a platter of lobster, which had been caught off of the pier just an hour before and we’d enjoy it with lashings of melted butter, followed by fresh coconut ice cream.
Eventually, the sun would set and all five of us could snuggle up while the girls fell asleep and Husband and I could gaze at the billions of stars that it’s possible to see when there’s minimal light pollution. If we were really lucky, we may even get to sit on our beach bed and see a show of the bio-luminescent life that lives in the Indian Ocean and we could finish off our perfect duvet day watching it shine for us.
Failing all of this, I’d be happy with a day of watching Netflix in bed with Husband and the girls, with a steady stream of tea, bacon sandwiches and custard creams, while Chuck snoozes in his bed at our feet!
What would your perfect duvet day be?
