Whether you are the type who makes New Year’s resolutions or not, resolving to get better sleep is a good way to start 2026. Quality sleep supports nearly every part of our lives, from mood and focus to immune function and long-term health.
When we sleep well, our bodies repair themselves, and our brains process emotions and memories. This helps us think more clearly and respond more calmly to daily challenges. Good sleep also plays a major role in maintaining a healthy metabolism and balanced hormones, which influence energy levels, appetite, and motivation. It is much easier to exercise, eat well, and stay productive when we are not running on empty. It is fair to say that good sleep is the foundation for becoming our best selves.
Making sleep a priority does not require drastic changes. Small, consistent habits can make a big difference. Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day helps regulate our internal clock. Creating a relaxing pre bedtime routine, such as dimming the lights or putting our gadgets away, signals to our bodies that it is time to wind down. A comfortable, inviting sleep environment also plays an important role. If you need help in creating this, consider heading to Gourdo’s and make your way to the bed and bath section, where you can browse a range of pillows in various shapes and sizes, as well as towels, bathroom accessories, soaps, sprays, and candles.
The latest addition on their shelves is the Highland Heritage Collection by Hong Kong based bedding brand A-Fontane. This new line is a nod to the city’s historic ties with Scotland and brings the spirit of the Scottish Highlands into your bedroom through a full range of bedding essentials.
The bed sheet sets (starting at P4,695) include a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases in three sizes: full, queen, and king. Each piece is made from 100 percent premium cotton in a sateen weave with a 300 thread count for a luxuriously soft, breathable, and durable feel. Additional pillowcases (starting at P995 per pair) are also available. For a more polished look, you can opt for pillow shams (starting at P1,790). To complete the arrangement, there are Euro square pillows (P1,950) and embroidered bed cushions (P1,500), which double as decorative accents and supportive back or foot rests. Comforters (starting at P4,495) add another layer of coziness with a 300 GSM plush fill encased in a 100 percent cotton sateen shell for balanced warmth, lightness, and lasting softness.
Design wise, there are four tartan patterns to choose from. The Royal Stewart tartan dates back to the 1800s and is associated with nobility and Scottish pride. With its bold red base and vibrant overchecks of deep blue, green, yellow, and white, it signifies royalty, ancestry, and elegance.
The Gordon tartan reflects the quiet strength of the Scottish Highlands through deep greens, navy blues, and touches of yellow. It stands as a symbol of honor, loyalty, and dignity.
The Passion of Hong Kong tartan is a special collaboration that celebrates the meeting of classic Scottish tartan and the masterful craftsmanship of Hong Kong tailoring. Featuring a pattern of red, white, and blue, it echoes the city’s vibrance and symbolizes creativity, craftsmanship, and cultural connection.
The Lion Mountain tartan is inspired by a sunset photo of Hong Kong’s Lion Rock Mountain. Its earthy beige and stone hues, accented with bold purple and black, mirror the steadfast courage of the city and its people, serving as a modern tribute to heritage and heart.
The Highland Heritage Collection by A-Fontane is available at Gourdo’s branches at The Podium, Alabang Town Center, Glorietta 4, Trinoma Mall, UP Town Center, and SM City Fairview. You can also shop online at Shopee and Lazada. For pop-up store announcements and other updates, follow @gourdos on Facebook and Instagram.
