Summary

Hot off the press of Dulux’s annual Colour of the year announcement, Sophie and Kate talk all things colour trends with Creative Director of Dulux, Marianne Shillingford. The colour all our walls will be wearing next year is Sweet embrace, a delicate pink, with a tinge of lilac nudging towards a cool grey. It’s a response to continued pressures stresses and starins we are all suffering under. It’s not quite the optimistic party colour Kate and Sophie were hoping for, but that’s coming Marianne assures us, but the masses aren’t quite ready for it yet. A jewel of an episode bursting with insights into the art of colour forecasting, the emotions of colour and why a soft pink is what we all need right now.

0:40.3

NaturalMat. NaturalMat make beds and mattresses by hand and Devon using natural organic and

0:45.8

renewable materials with absolutely zero chemicals, synthetics or glues. Natural materials are

0:51.6

more breathable, more comfortable and longer lasting, all of which contributes to a better

0:56.5

and a healthier night's sleep. And I'm all about good sleep. Oh me too. And more and

1:01.6

more research is coming out on this all the time, the importance of sleep to our overall

1:06.1

health and happiness, especially in mid-knife case. Tell me about it. I went to boarding school

1:10.9

and we had horse hair and straw mattresses that were so old they had a dip in the middle

1:14.7

and you've got to need sleep in one position. These days I move around a lot and I need to

1:27.8

or wiggling around for me. But aside from whatever bedroom acrobatics you're getting up to,

1:32.5

on a more serious note, did you know the majority of mattresses in the UK are still sprayed

1:36.8

with chemical fire retardants, which NaturalMat have always considered unnecessary. Instead,

1:43.7

the organic wool they use, which they buy directly from farmers on their doorstep in Devon,

1:48.1

renders their mattresses naturally fire retardant. I love the fact that wool is naturally

1:52.7

fire retardant. Who knew? You do love a fact. That is true. Now to learn more about NaturalMats,
