How do you choose pillows, mattresses, covers and bedspreads to get a comfortable sleep?

Bed fittings, such as mattresses, mattresses, pillows, and covers, may cause human sleep problems. Therefore, experts advise to pay attention to what suits the person of these necessities in order to enjoy a more comfortable sleep, and thus maintain his health.

There are general guidelines for preparing a good climate so that a person gets a good sleep that helps him a lot in maintaining his health and performing his work, such as ventilating the bedroom at least twice a day so that it has sufficient oxygen, and that the temperature is about 18 degrees Celsius, and beware of things that collect It has dust like carpets and heavy curtains.

But the bedding equipment, such as the mattress, the cover (quilt), the pillow, as well as the bed linen, are also important matters that must take into account the nature of the sleeping person, his comfort and his preferences. Since the body releases up to half a liter of water vapor (humidity) during the night, care must be taken to use materials that allow air to permeate and regulate the sleeper's temperature. Just as a person wears clothes according to the season, the bedding must also be seasonal, according to what Deutsche Welle quoted from the German “Freuden” website, citing experts specializing in bedding.

You must first decide if you want a lighter shade or a thicker one. It helps to label the sheets (quilt, blanket) with warmth levels 1 to 5 to choose. Heat level 1 means less heat retention and is suitable for summer, while temperature level 5 provides the highest levels of heat retention and is suitable for winter.

The filling of the cap should be from fabric, natural fibers, natural hair or downy feathers, natural materials make the covers temperature-regulating and not harmful to the skin, and they can absorb a lot of moisture and release it out of the cover.

In this way, they ensure a dry climate for sleeping. The synthetic fabric fibers also have an advantage, as they can be washed at 60°C and are suitable for allergy sufferers.

Fluffy feathers

The covers stuffed with the so-called "down feather" are very popular, as they are light and give warmth and cool the atmosphere at the same time, that is, they have a neutrality in the heat, and they are especially soft and comfortable, and therefore they are suitable for summer and winter.

The perfect pillow for sleeping

Down and down feathers, as well as sheep's wool or textile fibers, are suitable filling materials for pillows. Depending on the sleeping behavior, that is, whether the person sleeps on their back, side or stomach, the shape and size of the pillow must be taken into account.

To avoid excessive stretching or tension in the neck area, only the head and neck should rest on the pillow, and the shoulders should sink into the mattress. The wider the person's shoulders, the higher the pillow should be. The durability of the pillow depends on the degree of height and the filling inside.

Whoever sleeps on his back or stomach, it is better for him to have soft and flat pillows. A side sleeper needs a slightly higher pillow or a neck support pillow.

And in the case of problems in the neck region, the anatomically correct position of the cervical spine is especially important. And it all depends on the height and support of the pillow (its durability). In addition, the firmness of the pillow must be identical to the firmness of the mattress, according to what the German “Freuden” website quoted experts specialized in bedding as saying.

Mattress and sleep

An important factor when choosing the right mattress is body shape, height and weight. The wrong mattress often leads to tension and pain. Therefore, the mattress must have the ability to relieve pressure in the shoulder and waist area, in addition to supporting the spine. Small and lightweight people and people with problems with the musculoskeletal system should choose a soft and flexible mattress.

A medium degree of firmness is recommended for people who are tall but thin, and a firm mattress is recommended for tall people with a strong build. Good moisture transfer in the mattress is important for a dry sleeping climate.

Bed linens for comfort

Bed linens should be an important factor in the feeling of comfort and not only contribute to the sleeping climate, but also contribute to the overall ambiance of the bedroom. Soft, cozy materials like fluffy cottons are perfect for chilly nights. As for silk, linen and cotton fabrics, they reduce body heat, and therefore are perfectly suitable for summer, according to the German website Freunden.
