Everyone knows that a good nights sleep is important, but its not always easy to get those hours in. Plenty of basic tips for achieving a better nights sleep live on the internet and in magazines. General advice like avoiding electronic blue lighting, caffeine in the afternoon and alcohol before bed are what you’ve likely browsed over the years, and they are all great tips for better rest. What you may not have considered though, is how the design of your bedroom and your furniture can work to help you catch more Z’s.
Calming Colors = Peaceful Sleep
Calming paint colors that put you into a relaxed state can send you into snooze mode quickly. Loud colors and bold accent walls, while beautiful, can be a hindrance to achieving a quality sleep state. Choosing soft greens, blues and yellows would be a great for tranquility, though any color that you find soothing is a great choice.
Invest in a Quality Mattress
In addition to a comfortable environment , keeping up with your mattress quality is equally important. Mattresses that have lost their cushion, or simply do not fit your needs it terms of size or firmness can cause tossing and turning. This leaves you with a sleepless night and groggy morning.
In general, the recommendation for mattress replacement is at least every seven to ten years, however; if you find yourself sleeping poorly, it may be important to look at a replacement sooner rather than later.
Wrong Pillow?
While Mattresses are probably the top mentioned furniture for sleep quality ,pillows are just as important as mattress choice when it comes to preventing shifts through the night. There are many types of fillings to choose from , including memory foam, down and polyester. The best choice for you will depend on many factors, including whether you sleep on your back , stomach or side. Flatter pillows generally work much better for those who prefer to sleep on their backs or stomachs. Loftier pillows allow a side sleeper to fill space from the shoulder to neck.
