Temperature – duvets for cold and warm sleepers

Maintaining a bedroom temperature of about 16–17°C is often recommended for optimal sleep quality. But achieving true comfort doesn’t stop at the thermostat. It’s important to select a duvet that balances with your body’s natural nighttime preferences. Consider the thickness and material of your duvet as well. A cool one might be enough if you tend to retain heat, while a warmer, or extra warm, duvet can be a lifesaver for those who feel the cold during the night.

Light – blackout curtains for dreamier nights

A dark room means better sleep. Try a soft, dim light in the evening to signal to your brain it’s bedtime. Then, go for total darkness. Blackout curtains and blinds work wonders as they keep out street lights and early morning sun. Also, why not try an eye mask? This combo will make your room nice and dark.

Sound – sound-proof your bedroom with rugs and curtains

Another essential for good sleep is sound. In a perfect world, your bedroom should be an oasis of calm. Now, you can’t control the outside noise, but you can create a bubble of quiet in your bedroom to get uninterrupted sleep. Here are some tips:

  • Heavy curtains for noise reduction: Lining your sleeping area with heavy curtains helps in dulling street sounds.
  • High pile rug as sound absorber: A dense high pile rug acts as a sound sponge, softening footsteps and absorbing disruptive sounds.

Air quality – purify your sleep environment

It’s easy to forget how important the air in our bedroom is, even though we spend so much time there. When we sleep, our body heals and the air we breathe is a big part of that. Poor air quality, filled with things like dust or even smog from cars, can ruin our sleep and affect our health.

An air purifier works wonders as it quietly removes these harmful particles, resulting in cleaner and fresher air. This leads to a more restful sleep and better overall health. After all, a good night’s sleep starts with clean air.

De-clutter – create a calm sleep oasis

Keeping things tidy and simple reduces stress, leading to a more restful night. And why not go for soothing hues on your soft furnishing like duvet covers, throws and pillows to help calm your mind before drifting off to sleep. It’s about finding the perfect balance of style and serenity for your sleep space.
