Bedding and Sleep: What Influences Your Rest

Bedding and sleep are directly linked to how we rest each night. While the mattress is essential for comfort, factors such as fabric, breathability, summer and winter adaptability, and bedding hygiene have a real impact on sleep quality and how you wake up each day.

Throughout this article, you will discover how to choose bedding for summer and winter, which fabric is best, and what simple habits can help you sleep better and improve your rest.

Bedding and sleep: why do they make a difference to rest?

Bedding is in direct contact with your skin for 7 to 9 hours every night. This means it influences:

• Thermal comfort (whether it is hot or cold during the night);
• Sweating and feeling damp;
• Skin irritation and allergies (dust, mites, poorly breathable fabrics);
• The perception of comfort: softness and a feeling of coziness.

In other words, to sleep well, a good mattress is not enough—you need to create the right "microclimate" between your body and your bed.

If you have already read our article "Sleep: Frequently Asked Questions and Tips for Better Sleep," you know that small adjustments to your bedroom environment can have a huge impact.

Winter bedding: thermal comfort

Winter bedding should provide warmth without causing overheating, which can lead to night sweats and waking up.

What to look for in winter bedding?

• Heavier fabrics;
• Good heat retention, but with some breathability;
• Seasonally appropriate comforters.

Here, the choice of duvet can be decisive. We recommend our Percale Duvet, which provides additional comfort and excellent temperature regulation. Made from percale fiber, it is ideal for the winter season.

Summer bedding: cooler, fewer wake-ups

Sleeping in the heat is one of the main causes of waking up during the night. The solution starts with choosing fabrics that are breathable and have good moisture management properties.

What to look for in bedding for hot nights?

• Lightweight and breathable fabrics ;
• Good sweat absorption;
• Feels cool to the touch;
• Avoid fibers that retain heat.

Enhance freshness with the right mattresses

In addition to bedding, the mattress can play a complementary role in thermal regulation. Options such as the following make sense:

• Fresh Gel Mattress: designed for a soft and stable sleep thanks to its high-resistance core. Incorporated with Gel Fresh memory foam that dissipates body temperature and unwanted odors;
• Nature Cloud Graph Mattress and Air Graph Mattress – Foam: composed of graphene, which helps regulate body temperature and offers natural antibacterial protection, keeping the mattress clean and fresh.

Best fabric for bedding

The best fabric to use depends on what your body needs to maintain a comfortable temperature and a pleasant feel to the touch.

However, there are universal criteria such as:

• Breathability - allows air circulation and reduces moisture;
• Softness - sensory comfort helps you relax and fall asleep;
• Durability - maintains quality after frequent washing;
• Seasonal suitability - light in summer, warmer in winter.

If you have sensitive skin or allergies, the choice of fabric and how you wash and maintain your bedding are even more important.

Sleep hygiene routine

Keeping all products that help you get a good night's sleep properly sanitized is essential. Simple steps can make a difference, such as:

• Change sheets and pillowcases regularly (more often in summer);
• Ventilate the room and bed daily;
• Avoid accumulated moisture (do not make the bed immediately after waking up);
• Use appropriate protection to prolong the cleanliness of the mattress.

Tips for improving sleep quality

To improve sleep quality, try to adjust your bedding to the season and reinforce the hygiene of sleep accessories, such as bedding and pillows. In addition, consider:

• Use pillows that are suitable for your sleeping position, ensuring correct alignment of your head and spine;
• Maintain a balanced room temperature, promoting deeper and more continuous sleep;
• Opt for natural, breathable fabrics, especially in hot weather.

A good pillowcase helps, but the right pillow is the finishing touch for a perfect night's sleep. Choose a pillow that suits your sleeping needs, complementing your mattress with a product that is perfectly tailored to you.

Sleep quality is built every night. And although the mattress is the basis for rest, the relationship between bedding and sleep is crucial: by choosing the right fabric, adapting the bed to the climate, and maintaining a good cleaning routine, it is possible to sleep well and have quality sleep, with fewer awakenings and more rest.
