How to Transform Your Sleeping Routine with Pillows, Duvets and Accessories

When we talk about quality sleep, everyone thinks first of the mattress - and rightly so. But did you know that small details, such as the choice of pillow, comforter or mattress protector, can completely transform your sleeping experience?

Healthy sleep doesn't just depend on hours slept: it also depends on comfort, posture and the resting environment. In this article, we've put together practical and little-explored tips that will help you wake up more rested and revitalized

Choose the right pillow for your type of sleep

The pillow is often underestimated, but it's just as important as the mattress. Choosing the right one contributes to restful sleep and protects the spine:

  • Back sleepers should opt for medium to firm pillows that keep the head in line with the spine;
  • Side sleepers benefit from higher, firmer pillows to fill the space between the shoulder and the head;
  • Those who sleep on their stomachs should choose thin pillows to avoid neck pain.

Comforters suited to the season and thermal comfort

The right comforter regulates body temperature and influences the depth of sleep:

  • Lightweight, breathable comforters are ideal for summer;
  • Denser comforters keep you warm during the winter;
  • Textiles with technology such as Aloe Vera or hypoallergenic fibers protect the skin and guarantee hygiene and freshness.

Choosing the right comforter helps reduce night-time awakenings and improves the feeling of rest. Explore our percale comforter which, thanks to its softness and ability to regulate temperature, provides excellent night-time comfort.

Sommier and headboard: comfort and support

A quality sommier supports the mattress correctly and increases its durability, guaranteeing a sleep without sinking or unevenness.

A cozy headboard offers support for reading, relaxing or watching television without damaging your posture and the health of your spine.

Mattress protectors: hygiene and durability

With a waterproof mattress protector you can protect your mattress against liquids and allergens, keeping it clean and extending its life. In addition, it allows excellent air circulation and does not cause annoying noises during the night.

Small habits, big differences for better sleep

  • Ventilate the room every day to freshen the air;
  • Change pillowcases and sheets regularly;
  • Try aromatherapy or relaxing essential oils to induce sleep;
  • Keep electronic devices out of the bedroom: blue light interferes with melatonin production.

Sleeping well doesn't just depend on the mattress, but on the sum of all the details: pillows, comforters, sommiers, headboards and small daily habits.

By investing in quality products and healthy routines, you'll transform your nights into moments of deep rest.
