Importing the Bed Socks Custom

Coming from an immigrant family, we knew we wanted to incorporate a local Scottish good in the IDYLHOUR shop from the beginning, but we weren’t sure what exactly that would be. Extensive data gathered during family visits to Scotland in our childhood revealed that Scottish culture excels in many things, but do so most masterfully in the art of coziness. Perhaps due to the decidedly damp and chilly climate, no one can make you feel as snug as a Scottish auntie.

Pairs is a women-owned company based in Scotland that uses family-owned mills to source their 100% alpaca wool socks. The art and science of their creation have been passed down through the generations, resulting in a profoundly lovely pair of socks.

Let’s import the Bed Socks custom

“Imagine the perfect balance of slipper and sock. The result? Our Scottish Bed Socks.”

While folks in the US are enamored with slippers, people in the UK have found the sweet spot between a thick clog and a sock. Throw on your bed socks for a lazy day around the house and luxe lounging on the couch. They add a layer of comfort and indulgence that make a binge watch event feel more like an experience.

What about socks in bed?

People seem to be in the ‘can’t sleep without socks’ or ‘need socks to sleep’ camps as firmly as Mayo vs. Miracle Whip or Team Cilantro vs. Team It Tastes Like Dish Soap. What’s interesting is that studies show that wearing socks to bed can help you sleep better, or at least find sleep a little faster. Wearing socks increases blood flow to the feet which in turn, helps lower body temperature and brings about that good, good sleep. If you’re not firmly ensconced in a yes or no position on socks, you might try out Bed Socks in the evenings to ease into a quicker and deeper slumber.

These Scottish Bed Socks are the perfect add on to your own IDYLHOUR subscription or level up your Mother’s Day self care box gift.
