Temperature

What is the ideal sleeping temperature?

The best temperature for sleep can vary by individual with most adults finding their perfect temperature is 18.3 degrees Celsius. If you aren’t sure what feels best for you, consider adjusting the thermostat to 20 degrees to see how you sleep, bumping it up or down one degree each night from there if needed to find the most snooze-promoting number. Also consider how your bedding, pyjamas, sunlight coming into the bedroom or a draft might be impacting whether you’re waking up too warm, clutching the blankets or just right.

It’s also important to factor in your body’s natural thermoregulation. While many people wonder if body temperature rises during sleep, it actually decreases by 1-2 degrees while sleeping. This drop in body temperature makes it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep while conserving energy for other important functions the body manages as we rest.

Bedding and the best temperature for sleep

The material that your sheets and other bedding is made from makes a massive difference when it comes to your sleep temperature, as does the composition and TOG of duvets. Being too hot or too cold is a big reason people wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Going from grumpy to comfy is all about choosing bedding made from the right materials and with the right temperature grade.

If you sleep best when you’re warm and cosy, help keep your optimal sleeping temperature all night long with warm or extra warm rated duvets. If you’re waking up sweating in the night to toss off your blanket, help achieve your best temperature for sleeping with breathable cotton bedding with a light warm or cool rating.

Light and temp control in one

Blackout curtains are a dreamer’s best friend. Not only can you block out pesky, unwanted streetlights, but they also maintain a comfortable temperature by blocking out drafts and sunlight. They’re also a lovely way to style up your bedroom with a blast of solid colour or a fun pattern.
