Embrace a consistent bedtime routine

Establishing a regular sleep schedule is essential for a calming sleeping environment. If you want better sleep, try regulating your internal clock by going to bed and getting up at the same time every day. Make this routine more enjoyable by incorporating relaxing pre-sleep rituals like reading under a soft light, setting your alarm clock, or meditating to quiet music.

Create a cozy cave with darkening curtains

Excessive light exposure can disrupt sleep. That’s where MAJGULL darkening curtains can help. These curtains are designed to create an ideal dark environment that shields your bedroom from outdoor lights and the early morning sun. By simulating the stillness of night, these curtains help signal your body that it’s time to wind down.

Choose a mattress that dreams are made of

A good bed and mattress are the cornerstones of restful sleep. The VALEVÅG spring mattress is ideal for a good night’s sleep due to its cozy zones and pocket springs, which provide both comfort and support. Whatever your sleeping needs may be—firm support or something a little softer—the correct mattress can create a good sleep environment.

Refresh your bed with new sheets

The feel of fresh, clean sheets can instantly relax your body and make your bed more inviting. The NATTJASMIN bed sheet is your quintessential bedtime companion. With a silky-soft feel and a beautiful luster, it's like sleeping in a dream.

Discover the perfect pillow for sweet dreams

What is a good sleep environment, you ask? It’s one with the right pillow that makes you feel supported and perfectly cradled, allowing you to drift off into a restful sleep. Whether you’re a side sleeper needing a thicker pillow or a back sleeper requiring a flatter option, the right pillow can prevent neck pain and help you sleep more soundly.


Upgrade to a solid, supportive bed frame

A sturdy bed frame not only supports your mattress but also the quality of your sleep. Our MALM bed frame is a prime example that complements any textiles and bedroom furniture. Its high headboard provides cozy support for reading or watching TV. Adjustable sides fit various mattress thicknesses, and it’s easy to vacuum underneath.

Storage system solutions

Simplify for serenity by decluttering your space

A clean and organized bedroom can greatly improve your mental state and ability to relax. So, consider storage solutions that will help you efficiently organize your belongings, reduce clutter, and create a serene sleep environment. You can opt for under-bed storage, wardrobe organizers, and bedside tables with drawers to keep your sleeping area tidy and tranquil.

Optimize comfort with the right room temperature 

You need to find the sweet spot for your bedroom temperature; if it’s too hot, you’ll wake up sweating fits, and if it’s too cold, you’ll shiver the whole time. For a truly inviting and sleep-inducing atmosphere, it’s recommended to set your room temperature at a cool 18 degrees. This is generally a few degrees lower than the average daytime temperature, creating the perfect conditions for a restful slumber.


Introduce calming scents with essential oils

Scents like lavender and chamomile have been shown to have a calming effect, making them perfect for the bedroom. Consider using aroma diffusers that can subtly disperse these relaxing scents throughout your space, enhancing your bedroom environment for good sleep.

Color your walls with calmness

The color of your bedroom walls can influence your mood and sleep quality. Soft, calming colors such as light blue, green, and lavender are ideal for promoting a calming sleeping environment. These hues help lower your heart rate and blood pressure, making it easier to unwind and drift off to dreamland.
