Getting a Good Night’s Sleep

An uncomfortable bed is the fastest way to ruin a good night’s sleep. Poor sleep ruins your daily productivity, and has long term effects on your health. That’s why it’s recommended that you convert your bedroom into a sleep sanctuary, where you can retreat and relax as you slip into dream land. We spend a good portion of our lives asleep, so it’s important that we do sleep properly.

The way we sleep has to do with our temperature, what we hear, lighting sources, firmness of mattress, even our bedding. Here are a few tips to help you craft a sleep space with luxury bedding.

Healthy Bedding Choices

A healthy bedroom starts with healthy linens. Fortunately, there are natural linens available in a variety of colors and styles to fit any layout you plan for your bedroom. Try looking for liners that come in cotton, linen, or bamboo.

Cotton is the most breathable, and some consider it the most comfortable as well. It’s ideal to use cotton during the summer months, when the temperatures raise. Make sure your bedding is 100% cotton if you want to reap the full benefits.

Linen actually improves over time, which is a good long term investment. The fibers are also considered healthy for the skin and respiratory system. Bamboo is also becoming popular, even if the choice seems strange at first glance. More bed in a bag sets are coming with bamboo fabrics considered eco friendly and hypoallergenic. Bamboo is also breathable, good for sleepers who heat up at night.

Regular Care

It’s important that you clean your sheets using formulas that aren’t going to cause you irritation. Wash linens at least once a week to get rid of dust and grime that builds up in the bed as you sleep. Always read the label on your bedding before you wash. It may have certain requirements that will protect the fibers. In most cases, warm water and a mild detergent will do for covers and pillow cases. You can use a dryer for sheets, but you have to set it for tumble on low. Old, worn sheets are hard to restore. The threads rip, and the patterns fade. If you have sheets like this, it may be time for an upgrade.

With the right bedding, you’ll be well on your way to a good night’s sleep.
