Layering up textures around your home not only helps to win you easy style points, but touching soft materials can also help to release the body's natural feel-good chemicals, improving mood and reducing anxiety.

Which is particularly useful for the month of January.

So whether it’s faux fur, boucle, shearling or teddy, we’ve got the best picks from the high street to help you crack the cosy code.

The snuggle is real!
