What exactly is a “duvet day”?

3 min read

The idea of duvet days was born as a means for employers to give employees a day off when they didn’t need them in the office. Many employers who recognise duvet day give their employees an agreed number of days off that they can take at any time without notice. This is a great way to cut down on the number of sickies,or days off that people would otherwise take when feeling tired.

Since then, the meaning of “duvet day” has changed. Now it is used by anyone who wants to spend a little time in bed. It’s a weekend day, there are no chores to be done, it is raining, and you just want to curl up in bed with a hot cup of tea.

  1. Turn off the alarm

Your duvet-day should never be dictated by the time. It’s also not acceptable to allow technology to wake up. Rule number one for your duvet-day is to wake up naturally.

  1. Luxury bedding

You can also try a weighted quilt for extra comfort. Why not spend some time doing a creative hobby? Consider Crochet Blanket Kits from https://www.woolcouturecompany.com

  1. Comfort food

Enjoy your entire day with whatever you like – but make sure that every meal is enjoyed to the fullest!

  1. Snacks

It’s impossible to enjoy a duvet-day without snacks. But you don’t want the guilt that comes with eating junk food. If you plan ahead, bake your own cookies, cakes and other treats. You’ll know what goes into it!

  1. Drinks

You have plenty of free time, so take advantage and get creative with your hydration.

Tea: A warm, comforting beverage is essential.

Coffee: Make your own by using the Minipresso, without ever having to leave your room!

What about that book you have been promising to read for months now? Magazines that you don’t get time to read. Now that you’re not short on time, it’s time to start reading!

If you’re looking for music to play on duvet days, make sure it is something that makes you want to dance in your pants when no one else is around. There’s also plenty of inspiration available online.

  1. Netflix binge
