The holidays are meant to be relaxing, but the combination of parties that run late, a bit more alcohol than is perhaps advisable, and family visits that involve kipping in an unfamiliar bed (or worse, a camp bed) can take their toll on your sleep routine. To avoid sleep deprivation this festive season, head to Panda and arm yourself with some soothing products that'll help improve your snooze when you do finally make it into bed. There's a little festive treat for you too: Panda is offering tiered discounts to help take down the price. You'll get £10 off when you spend £100, going up to £250 off with a purchase of £1,000 or more.

A new mattress is a bit of an investment, but a far more pocket-friendly way to upgrade a tired old bed is with a topper. A good topper can completely transform your mattress' sleep feel. Panda's Topper is made with Hydro-foam, which will mould to your body and keep your spine and hips in perfect healthy alignment, making it both supportive and luxuriously comfortable. The foam is infused with gel to help regulate temperature and stop you getting too warm, and it's all wrapped in a soft, breathable and hypoallergenic bamboo cover.
While a topper can work wonders on an old bed, if you do decide to take the plunge and buy a new mattress, Panda's Hybrid Bamboo Mattress would make a great choice. And now's the time to buy, because you'll get free Hybrid Bamboo pillows and a mattress protector thrown in for free with your order. That's on top of the money-off deal mentioned above. It's a great opportunity to upgrade your whole sleep setup at once.
The hybrid mattress design includes two different soothing foams to cradle pressure points as well as absorbing movement (ideal if you're on a different Christmas party schedule to your partner). There's also a spring layer, with zones of support to ensure you stay healthily aligned overnight, and wake up free from aches and pains.
There's nothing like new sheets to make you look forward to getting into bed at night. Panda's bedding uses the bamboo fabric this brand is known for, and which feels far more luxurious than it has any right to, given how eco-friendly it is. Choose between the decadently silky 100% bamboo sets, or ones that mix in French Linen for a crisper, more textured feel. Both are available in a range of classy shades, including Himalayan Pink and Midnight Navy. If you opt for the complete bedding set (including a sheet, duvet cover and pillowcases, in a handy fabric storage bag to keep it all together) you'll be able to take advantage of one of Panda's festive discounts.
If you want to carry the bamboo theme on, Panda has also used its natural thermo-regulating properties to great effect in the Panda Cloud Bamboo duvet. This award-winning duvet uses a half-and-half blend of bamboo fibres and Nano-Microfibre (made from recycled water bottles!) to keep you cosy when it's chilly, and offer breathability for nights when someone's whacked the thermostat up a bit too high.
Finally, whatever you decide to buy, you should definitely pop an eye mask in your basket. This is a super-simple and affordable way to improve your sleep (and also useful for bumping up the value of your basket to unlock one of those discounts). The Panda Eye Mask is made from Panda's signature bamboo fabric, inside and out. It's a sustainable and vegan alternative to silk, and just as luxurious. The layered design is light as air and silky soft against your skin, as well as being naturally breathable and hypoallergenic. This eye mask will shut out background light to help quiet your brain when it's time to nod off, – and stop the light from creeping in if you've got younger relatives waking earlier than is ideal, too.
