We often overlook the power of a good night’s sleep. Although the quality of our sleep can significantly impact our overall well-being, affecting everything from our mood to our cognitive function. We normally tend to blame being stressed, caffeine and too much screen time for our restless nights. We normally overlook one important factor we tend to think doesn’t affect our sleep which is the bedding we are using.
From the sheets, quilts and pillows you choose can play a crucial role in determining the quality of your sleep along with the comfort of your bed. Along with the material, thread count and quilt fibre you choose plays a big role in getting a good night's sleep.
Material:
The type of fabric you are using on your bed can have a significant impact on your quality of sleep. Natural materials such as wool, cotton, linen and bamboo are known for their breathability and moisture-wicking properties allowing you to keep cool and comfortable throughout the night. Synthetic fibressuch as polyester tend to trap heat and moisture which tends to cause a disrupted sleep.
Thread Count Myth:
While thread count is often touted as a measure of bedding quality, it's not the only factor to consider. While a higher thread count may indicate a softer fabric, it doesn't necessarily guarantee better sleep. Instead, focus on finding a thread count that feels comfortable to you, keeping in mind that factors like fabric type and weave also contribute to overall comfort.
Temperature Regulation:
Your body temperature plays a crucial role in regulating your sleep-wake cycle. Bedding that traps heat can lead to overheating and discomfort, disrupting your sleep. Opt for breathable materials such as wool and cotton, which allow airflow and help regulate your body temperature.
