Peeling paint and wonky bedroom shelves send the wrong message to potential buyers, one author writes. Sophie Morris, writing for the Independent, claims the only way the UK housing market can get back to normal levels is if more people put their homes up for sale. But homeowners are forgetting about the little touches that make the difference between a property that looks attractive and one that is easily forgettable.
One such touch could include crisp white or ivory Jersey cotton bed linen from Elinens, which is particularly suited for memory foam mattresses.
Making a home inviting
Many homeowners may have stayed put rather than sell up through fear of achieving a low selling price for their property. Prices are expected to start to improve and making small adjustments could boost a home's value even more. Simon Buhl Davis, director of the interior services department at estate agent Savills, tells the Independent that a few hundred pounds may be all that is required to give a home a quick makeover.
And with Beldorm's 100 per cent combed cotton Jersey bed linen for memory foam products selling at Elinens for as low as £13.50 for a fitted sheet, there may be no excuse to brighten up a lacklustre bedroom. Also available are crisp ivory and white memory foam bed linen for pillowcases. Homeowners with an environmentally-friendly conscience can also get their hands on 100 per cent organic Jersey cotton bed linen from Beldorm.

Mr Davis says about selling a property: "It's got to be ticking boxes straightaway - no weeds, peeling paint or scuff marks in the hallway. Clean, clean, clean and make sure there is a lot of light. Use mirrors to reflect light if necessary."
Crisp ivory and white Beldorm Jersey cotton bed linen could be the perfect way to make a room appear fresh and clean for potential buyers.
Sleeping away stress
Property prices are not the only concern for people. Many individuals may be putting in extra hours in the office during the recession to increase their job security. But hours spent behind a computer or running around could leave people with aches and pains. A memory foam mattress moulds to the shape of a person and can provide effective support, which could rid of any unwanted back problems.
Recent research from Investors in People reveals that 39 per cent of employees believe their stress levels are higher now than they were 12 months ago. Getting a good night's rest on a memory foam mattress, covered by specially-made Beldorm Jersey bed linen, could ensure that people are rested for the busy day ahead at work.
