Choose your bedding wisely to sleep well
Sleeping in good bedding helps you fall asleep faster and achieve better quality slow-wave sleep. In addition, it reduces muscle activity and limits waking up during the night.
To ensure better sleep and a comfortable night, it is therefore important to choose good bedding that meets your expectations.
Buying good bedding requires a substantial budget, but it is necessary to have a good night's sleep. To avoid making a mistake, you should take the time to compare several models, taking into account the criteria you are looking for (for example, a need for firmness or a better sleeping position).
Here are some tips for choosing good bedding:
Take a comfortable mattress
Having a comfortable mattress is essential to finding a state of well-being and relaxation after a long day.
The quality of sleep depends on the quality of the mattress, and the quality of the mattress depends on its manufacture. Certain criteria must be taken into account to choose the mattress best suited to your needs and habits.
The mattress filling
The filling of a mattress allows you to feel immediate comfort when you lie on it.
This comfort depends on the quality and quantity of the materials used. If the filling is thick and made of noble materials, the mattress is then considered to be of quality. Wool, for example, is a natural material that keeps the mattress at a good temperature thanks to its thermoregulating properties.
Synthetic materials should be avoided because they are too breathable. In addition, the mattress can easily become infected with mold and mites.
Mattress suspension
There are three types of suspension to know when choosing a mattress.
First, the Foam, polyether or polyurethane mattresses are affordable from a financial point of view but are not suitable for daily use. They are also not recommended in humid rooms. Their firmness, comfort and lifespan are limited.
Then, latex mattresses are healthy, flexible and non-deformable thanks to their comfort zones, their longevity and their aeration by alveoli. Each part of the body is well supported, especially the spine.
Finally, the quality of spring mattresses varies depending on the technology used. Pocket spring mattresses are the ones that best adapt to the body and all body shapes. Each of the springs is independent and wrapped in an individual pocket, which promotes the free circulation of air for optimal ventilation. Each part of the body is supported independently and the spine remains straight. The pressure is only exerted on the springs where the user is positioned, which guarantees better comfort and sleeping independence when sleeping as a couple.
Mattress density
The density of a mattress is to be determined according to the size and weight of the sleeper.
If the mattress is too firm, the body cannot sink in properly and the spine is not straight. On the contrary, if the mattress is too soft, the spine can curve in the other direction and lead to back problems.
To ensure good firmness, the density of 25 kg/m3 is the minimum to be respected when the user weighs 70 kg/m3.
The dimensions of the mattress
The dimensions of a mattress for a couple, a single person, a teenager or a child are obviously not the same. A mattress must first and foremost adapt to the morphology of the users and the space, but also to the sleeping habits. For example, if a couple feels cramped on a 140cm wide mattress, it is possible to opt for a width of 160cm.
Choosing a duvet that suits your needs
Just like the mattress, the duvet adapts to any type of season, it can be warm for winter periods or light for summer periods.
Synthetic duvet and natural duvet
The duvet must be chosen with care, whether it is natural or synthetic, it must be renewed approximately every 5 years.
The natural duvet contains down and feathers (the percentage varies depending on the duvet). Down is considered a noble material, the more it is present in a duvet, the more pleasant its rendering. In all cases, the material of the natural duvet is more appreciated than the synthetic material.
The synthetic duvet, on the other hand, contains innovative materials: classic fibers, polyester and lyocell (a wood-based fiber, a good quality renewable insulating material), microfibers or even fibers recycled from plastic bottles. These materials have the advantage of causing fewer allergies than the natural duvet.
Synthetic duvets represent 80% of the market, and cost half as much as natural duvets. However, you should not neglect their maintenance; they must be washed 2 to 3 times a year (compared to 1 year for natural duvets).
The ideal size of a duvet
In terms of size, the duvet should always be larger than the bed to cover it completely and allow users to be covered. For example, if the bedding measures 140 x 190 cm, you should buy a duvet of 220 x 240 cm.
The perfect weight for a duvet
The grammage represents the weight of the filling, located between the two fabrics of the duvet. It must be adapted to the needs of the users, the temperature of the room and the seasons. For example, if a room is sufficiently heated during the winter, it is recommended to buy an "all-season" duvet that has a gram between 150 and 220g/m2.
If, on the contrary, the room is cold in winter and hot in summer, you should take a double duvet called "four seasons".
Prefer a quality pillow
A good pillow is essential to enjoy quality sleep. To achieve absolute comfort, the pillow must support the neck well and relax the muscles.
The natural pillow and the synthetic pillow
The natural pillow, like duvets, contains down or feathers. Soft and light, it has the particularity of being durable over time. It can be renewed only every 10 years.
The pillow made of synthetic fiber is the most widespread thanks to its more affordable price, and for a question of allergy or ethics. It must be changed every 3 to 5 years depending on the maintenance.
Regardless of its type, the pillow should be washed 1 to 2 times a year, especially after the summer period when you sweat a lot.
The memory foam pillow
A memory foam pillow, unlike a classic pillow, adapts to the shape of the neck and head to promote better relaxation. It provides good support, thus avoiding any movements that could disturb sleep. It can last between 3 and 10 years.
Made of polyurethane foam or latex, it cannot be washed in a machine.
The soft pillow and the firm pillow
Highly prized on the market, a firm pillow is 25 to 30% more filled than a soft pillow. Depending on the morphology and weight, it is better to choose a soft pillow to guarantee a better quality of sleep , especially for children and adults with a small frame.
Take food supplements to ensure better sleep
Sometimes, good bedding is not enough to benefit from restful sleep. The causes are diverse: a state of stress or anxiety, an environment that is too noisy or too hot, poor lifestyle (diet, tobacco, alcohol, etc.) or even a depressive state.
To remedy this, taking natural food supplements is an effective solution to relax, limit difficulties falling asleep and improve the quality of sleep.
Délicure “Radiant Sleep” gummies
