How to sleep comfortably in bed?

 To sleep comfortably in bed, it is important to choose the bedding that suits you. For that purpose, it is necessary to know the materials and characteristics of sheets, comforters, pillows, etc.

This article will explain the types and characteristics of mattresses and the general materials and characteristics of sheets, comforters, and pillows for those looking for a bed or bedding that suits them. We will also introduce maintenance points such as creating a bedroom space that is useful for a good night's sleep and measures against humidity, so please refer to it.




To sleep comfortably in bed, it is recommended to start by choosing a mattress!


Comfortable sleeping depends on whether or not the mattress suits you, so it is recommended that you start by choosing a mattress.

The point of a comfortable mattress is that it keeps your body curving naturally, supports your weight well, and has just the right amount of elasticity. Continued use of mattresses that don't fit can reduce the quality of your sleep and cause back pain.


How to choose a bed mattress for a comfortable sleep


I will explain what points to pay attention to when choosing a mattress.


Mattress type


There are three main types of mattresses. Each has different characteristics, so I will explain in detail. Please use it as a reference when choosing the one that suits your body shape and your favorite sleeping comfort.


Bonnell coil


The Bonnell coil mattress has springs connected to each other to support body pressure on the surface. It features a solid sleep and durability. However, since the springs are connected, vibrations such as turning over are easily transmitted to the whole.


Pocket coil


The pocket coil mattress is an independent structure with one spring in the bag, which supports body pressure at points. Therefore, it is highly dispersible in body pressure, and it is difficult for vibrations such as turning over of the next person to be transmitted . However, the parts that are frequently weighted tend to lose their durability.


Non-coil (low resilience / high resilience)


A non-coil mattress is a urethane or fiber mattress that does not use springs. The low-resilience type is comfortable to sleep in, and the high-resilience type is characterized by a hard sleeping comfort that makes it easy to turn over. Due to each characteristic, some people feel that the low-resilience type is hard to turn over and the high-resilience type has less fit.


Good breathability


Moisture buildup on the mattress can cause problems such as odor and mold. Choose a material that does not easily collect moisture or a structure that releases moisture such as air holes. However, just because it is well-ventilated, the warmth escapes in winter and cold air enters, making it feel cold. It is also a checkpoint to have both measures against humidity and heat insulation.


Ease of maintenance


Even mattresses that are protected against humidity require regular maintenance such as drying in the shade. Therefore, it is also important that it is easy to move and dry. In addition, it is necessary to take measures when it gets dirty, such as night sweats or stains on drinks. A mattress that can be washed by removing the side fabric can be kept clean and hygienic.


For a good night's sleep, stick to sheets, futons, and pillows!


We will explain the materials and selection points for sheets, futons, and pillows that will help you sleep comfortably.


Sheets


Choose sheets based on their feel and function. If you like a silky feel, hemp material or cotton broadcloth is recommended, and if you like a soft touch, flannel or bore is recommended. If you prefer a smooth feel, cotton or silk satin fabrics are a good choice. In addition, gauze and towel cloth absorbs sweat well, and high-density fabric helps prevent mites.


For box sheets, size selection is also important. The size notation of the box sheets is horizontal x vertical x gusset, but the height of the gusset and the thickness of the mattress cannot be set properly. Choose a gusset size that adds about 5 cm to the thickness of the mattress.


futon


Commonly used comforters are divided into four main types of materials. I will explain each feature.


down


A duvet is a duvet filled with waterfowl feathers. It features high heat retention, a good fit, and lightweight. Another advantage is that it is durable and easy to maintain. Quality varies depending on the price.


wool


A wool duvet is a duvet that uses wool for batting. Moisture does not accumulate easily, the price is reasonable, and it is comfortable to wear without being too light. It will change color when dried in the sun, so it must be dried in the shade.


cotton


A cotton quilt is a quilt that uses 50% or more of cotton for the batting. It has high heat retention and absorbs moisture well, and even if it is used, it will return to a fluffy feeling if you hit it again. However, it has a low moisture-releasing property, and it has the disadvantage that it retains moisture unless it is dried regularly.


Synthetic fiber (polyester, etc.)


A futon that uses synthetic fibers such as polyester for the batting. Some are inexpensive, have a long-lasting fluffy feel, and can be washed. However, it is easy to get stuffy because it does not easily absorb moisture.


pillow


Here are four points to consider when choosing a pillow.


height


Choose a mattress that is high enough to fill the space between your neck and neck. In general, men with large spaces have higher pillows, and women and children with smaller spaces have lower pillows. In addition, it is recommended that people who are in a sideways position when sleeping should raise it, usually lie on their backs, and lower it when lying down.


Hardness


Find the hardness you like. It is recommended to actually check at the sales floor. The contents of buckwheat husks and pipes are hard, and the feathers, polyester, and latex pillows are soft.


size


There are generally three sizes: large, normal, and small. Larger ones are easier to turn over, so they are suitable for people who move a lot. The normal size is for everyone and is recommended for those who are unsure about choosing a pillow. The smaller one is suitable for small people.


Material


Pillows have different usability depending on the material, so let's try them at the sales floor. There are many types, such as fluffy and elastic feathers, fluid Colma beads, and low-resilience urethane that allows the head to sink slowly.


Creating a space is important if you can sleep comfortably in bed


Creating an atmosphere is also important for a comfortable sleep. Here, we will explain the effect of color on humans, so please use it as a reference for creating a bedroom space.


What color has a good sleep effect?


Humans live by switching between active mode and relax mode, and a smooth switch makes it easier to fall asleep. And it is said that color also affects this switching.

The recommended colors for bed fabrics are cool colors such as blue and green, which have a sedative effect and can be expected to have a good sleep effect. Warm colors such as red and orange are colors that stimulate the activity mode and should be avoided. If cool colors are difficult due to the interior, beige is recommended.


Points to sleep comfortably in bed


Moisture control and maintenance of the mattress are also important for maintaining a good night's sleep. I will explain three points.


Use by changing the front and back regularly


Due to the high humidity in Japan, even a well-ventilated mattress can grow mold if not maintained. Change the front and back of the mattress regularly, and expose the back, which tends to collect moisture, to the air. It is also effective to lean the mattress against the wall and blow the wind with a fan.


Use bed pads to prevent moisture


A bed pad is a pad with batting that is placed between the mattress and the sheets to absorb night sweats and protect the mattress. We recommend wool, which has excellent hygroscopicity and moisture release.

The mattress is also a pad that can be attached to the mattress, but this one is attached to the sheets, and it can be removed quickly and washed frequently. For further measures, buy a dehumidifying sheet made of a hygroscopic material and lay it between the mattress and the bed floor.


Pay attention to the location such as the distance from the window


The ease with which moisture accumulates depends on where you place the bed in the room. The area near the window where dew condensation is likely to occur due to the temperature difference from the outside is an environment where mold easily grows on the mattress. Avoid placing your bed near the window, or open the window frequently to ventilate.

Also, if the bed is placed on the wall, it will be difficult for air to pass between it and the wall, and it will be easier for moisture to accumulate. Place it at least 10 cm away from the wall to allow air passage.


Summary


For a good night's sleep in bed, it is important to choose the bedding that suits you, take proper measures against humidity, and perform regular maintenance. When choosing to bed, it's a good idea to try it out at the store or get expert support.
