Mattress, mattress, mattress. Well that wraps it up folks!
But wait, there’s more. What makes dreams sweet? Bedding of course!
With all the separations in our world today, the one thing that can still unite us all is a good nights rest.
Everybody, no matter where you come from or what your days are filled with, can always feel
enlightened after a full night of deep, comfortable sleep. Now although the chosen mattress depends
on an individuals body type and areas of strain, the bedding that covers a mattress is where we can all
come together – a bed to call home.
Below are the 4 key items to fill your bed with for the sweetest of dreams.
1. Material Matters
We’ll start with the first layer above the mattress; sheets. Now don’t be fooled by price here. A polyester & cotton
mix although highly available, you get what you pay for. Body temperatures typically remain as warm as a
summers day. Now stick that body on polyester and what do you get? Well you get a sheet that sticks back on
you. 100% cotton percale is not only affordable, but also cool and crisp. Cotton is king, especially for the
summer. It helps by distributing your body heat evenly throughout your rest period, so you dont wake up
feeling sticky or clammy. Percale sheets are woven one over, one under. Breathable and light, you’re bound to
sheets that will ensure a beautiful nights sleep. For comforters and duvet covers, cotton is recommended as well.
2. Thread Count
The more the merrier! Why wait till Christmas to be merry, let’s do it every night. Thread count refers
to the number of threads that criss cross per square inch of material. Once you get above 200 you’re in
the safe zone. 300-800, now we’re talking quality without breaking the bank. Hold your sheet or pillow
case up to a light. If you can see through the sheet fairly easily, that’s indicative of a low thread count.
Always look out for the thread count number when purchasing your sheets and duvet covers.
3. Pillows for a Peaceful Plunge
Neck problems. Another thing we can unite on. We spend a large portion of life laying our heads on a
pillow which could probably be a bit more comfortable. You just won’t know until you try them all. 8
hours a day for our entire life, rounds up to about a gazillion hours (roughly speaking of course). For
the many types of sleeping positions; back, side, stomach, or all combined, Like cheese in a burger, laid
between the meat and the bun, pillows rest between our head and the mattress. Pick yours wisely.
4. Accessories
Not necessary at all times, these are items that complement your bed, have the possibility of improving
your sleep, and can be used when you feel the need to. Throw pillows. though do take up bed space,
serve as a cuddle buddy for you side sleepers. Quilt coverlets, typically for decorative purposes, can be
used as an extra layer when the weather gets a little chilly. Lastly, pillow sprays. Aromatherapy to ease
your rest with calming scents that encourage a deeper slumber by producing sleep inducing hormones.
This is clinically proven as well.
Try these simple things, and make a habit of them. I promise you’ll find yourself waking up feeling
more refreshed and alive.
