The necessary changes to get more sleep can be hard to stick to but aren’t complicated. The CDC says that lifestyle changes can improve sleeping ranging from removing televisions and turning off mobile devices in the bedroom.

But beyond tips like turning off your computer and decompressing at night with a good book, your bed can also impact your quality of sleep.

How to Make Your Bed More Comfortable

Choose the Right Mattress

If you’re waking up every morning with aches and pains or just tossing and turning all night, your mattress might be to blame. Look for a mattress that optimizes your comfort level and supports your body’s pain points, whether it’s an ultra-firm or a memory foam option that adjusts to your body and can help take pressure off your joints.

But if you’re not sure you need a new mattress, you can opt for a mattress pad topper that adds the memory foam comfort or softness you’re looking for while protecting your mattress at the same time.

Top it all off with a plush down comforter or hypo-allergenic alternative to envelop yourself in comfort.

Ditch the old pillows

Overlooking the age and quality of your pillows can make a negative impact on your health. Sleeping on an old pillow may not seem like a big deal, but actually collects body oil, dead skin cells and unsightly hair that can become a breeding ground for dust mites and allergens.

The National Sleep Foundation recommends changing your pillow out every one to two years. A new, quality pillow can also help support your neck and reduce pain and stiffness, and over time can start to sag and lead to a poor night’s rest.

Up your thread count

Cotton sheets tend to be popular choices for their soft durability and ability to breathe well throughout the night. They’re also usually suitable for those with sensitive skin. Although thread count isn’t everything, good sheets should range in the 200 to 800 mark.

Play it safe and opt for comfortable sheets somewhere in between with double-ply fabrics that maximize your comfort and softness.

Calm your senses

Once you’ve settled on all of the essentials for your bed, it’s time to indulge your senses to enhance your relaxation. Spray your bed with lavender essential oils and diffuse some frankincense nearby to create a positively relaxing and tranquil environment for a good night’s sleep.

A comfortable bed is totally worth the investment when it aids in improving your sleep, and consequently your well-being and productivity. But the real key is holding your new bed and calming nighttime routine sacred with an unbreakable focus on getting a good night’s rest.

A Good Night Rest means healthier Skin.

Make your Bedroom More Conducive to Sleeping

Sweet Dreams
Apparently, to get a good night’s sleep you need to have the adequate temperature, complete darkness and no electronic distractions. But what about the aesthetic improvements you can make to your bedroom to help send you off to the land of nod?

Best Colors for Your Bedroom to Promote Sleep

Evidence suggests that certain colors encourage a feeling of relaxation; these are gentle tones such as pale greens, baby blues, and soft yellows. But that’s not to say that you have to repaint your flamboyant room in a shrinking violet.

For some people, being encased in such a haven of your own creativity will have a very positive effect, as long as the space remains clutter-free.

If your room has jumpers escaping from drawers, tea cups on the dresser and a mountain of dirty clothes in the corner, it will feel heavy and stressful when you come to bed at night. The most important thing is to cherish that space and keep it tidy.

 

Lighting and Ambience

Space and light can have a huge impact on your emotions. Position your bed so you can see out of the window, especially if you have a stunning view and beautiful gardens.

A top light, although practical, can be harsh and unforgiving. Look into alternative lighting for your room, warm tones can make the world of difference. Little lanterns hanging from the ceiling, or a Tiffany period-style lamp would work nicely.

An intricately decorated mirror with an antique frame or mosaic tiling will make the room appear larger and also be a statement piece to complement a majestic bed.
So take the time to give your bedroom some TLC, and subsequently, you’ll find that you enjoy spending time in there and hopefully it will contribute to a refreshing night’s sleep.
