World Sleep Day

When and why is it celebrated?

We celebrate the last Friday before the vernal equinox every year World Sleep Day. This year's falls on 15th of March. The aim is to draw attention to the growing problems with sleep disorders and to reduce the impact of health risks on society through better prevention and control. In the past, the question of healthy sleep was not so important, because the daily rhythm was much simpler. However, with the increasing pace of life, stress and sedentary work, sleep disorders become one of the burdens of civilization, which can grow into serious health complications.

"Do you know that more than 30% of the % population is at risk for sleep disorders, and that this affects both adults and children?"

The need for sleep duration is individual – is influenced not only by genetics, but also by other factors. Although it seems that 7-8 hours a day is optimal for healthy adults, it is good to set aside up to 9 hours for sleep. Because sleep interruptions by awakening are common, which normally make up to 5 % of sleep time.

The consequence of poor quality sleep is fatigue, inefficiency and mood changes.

There are basic rules for improving sleep hygiene, which we discussed earlier in our article SLEEP HYGIENE. The basis is to limit caffeine and alcohol, avoid heavy meals before bedtime, maintain a regular sleep schedule and create a suitable environment for relaxation - the basis is a quality bed and mattress. By following these simple rules, you can contribute to an overall improvement in the quality of your sleep.

The Queen of the Alps in your bedroom

ZIRBE, Queen of the Austrian Alps

Austrian ZIRBE wood, also known as Alpine pine, has recently become very popular due to its health properties and pleasant aroma.

This alpine pine secretes pinosylvin resin, which has beneficial effects on sleep . The scent of the resin calms, relieves stress and lowers the heart rate during sleep, thus saving your heart and thus prolonging your life. At the same time, Pinosylvin has a natural antibacterial effect.

The furniture not only makes your bedroom smell pleasant, but the released essence also destroys germs, acts as a disinfectant and repels moths and insects

We do not oil or varnish products from this wood, the effects of pinosylvin would be limited when using oil and almost lost when varnished. The furniture is therefore not treated in any way , so that the effect of ZIRBE on the human body is as natural as possible. In case of minor damage to the surface of ZIRBE furniture, it is enough to lightly sand it and it is as good as new. We make beds without metal joints and their material is therefore 100 % natural.

Thanks to its properties, ZIRBE wood is used to make beds, chests of drawers, wardrobes and other furniture, which becomes part of a modern and healthy interior. ZIRBE wood also has a natural ability to regulate humidity and thus helps maintain a pleasant microclimate in the room.

The quality of the wood depends on many factors, such as growing conditions, the age of the tree and the method of processing. We make it a point to choose the best quality that we bring in ourselves.

Check out our collection ZIRBE and let your bedroom smell good.

Young Czech designer

Sabina Stržínková

Czech designer Sabina Stržínková studied Industrial Design at Tomáš Bata University in Zlín. She completed an internship at the Schneid design studio in Germany. He currently works as a teacher at the Secondary Glass School of Arts and Crafts in Valašské Meziříčí. Sabina has designed several products for us that have been successful. TAMMI chair won the Furniture of the Year 2021 award, the Grand Prix Award and the BigSee WoodDesign Award 2021. SABI table and bench are a hot new product that brings furniture that blends design with functionality into homes.

1. What inspired you to design the SABI folding table?

When designing the SABI folding table, I was inspired by a combination of several factors that are key to me. Simplicity is the basic pillar of the entire design. I believe that a simple and clean form also goes hand in hand with functionality that allows users to easily manipulate it. The table must be understandable and practical enough, so as not to complicate the lives of future owners. Manufacturability is also an important aspect. Not only the table, but every product should be technically feasible with an emphasis on efficient production. And last but not least, visual appeal. I tried to create a table that would be aesthetically attractive and whose subtle details would bring delicacy and elegance to the space. 

"A unique fusion of functionality and design, that's SABI, an extendable table that seats the whole family."

2. How many visualizations did you create before you were satisfied with the result?

In total, eleven different designs and about fifty visualizations were created. Three main shapes then crystallized from this, which determined the direction I wanted to take. The main point for me was functionality and aesthetic appeal, which is sometimes not easy to put together, but I am convinced that it was a great success. 

3. What makes the SABI table special and why would you recommend it to customers?

I think SABI embodies the balance between form and function, it looks elegant and at the same time fulfills its purpose. It is a quality piece of furniture that will serve for decades if the owner gives it some love and care.

4. How did cooperation with the JELÍNEK family business enrich you?

It's always fun for me. Each collaboration enriches me enormously, as regards the production technology itself, which I can also take advantage of in other projects or in my teaching activities. The JELÍNEK company stands on the strong foundations of honest craftsmanship, and behind every manufactured piece of furniture is a piece of well-done work. Communication with both the management and the technical department is a real pleasure for me and I hope that the cooperation will continue in the future.

5. Are you currently working on any other joint project?

In addition to the folding table and bench we are currently working on a variable storage system mainly for private spaces. It will mainly be chests of drawers and TV walls, which will certainly be interesting, thanks to their processing and newly used materials.

Partner double mattress

You know the feeling. You want to move to your partner's side of the bed when you suddenly fit into the gap between the mattresses. The romance is gone. And a shared sheet does not solve this problem by any means.

That's why they exist partner double mattress, where there is no gap between the mattresses. Double mattresses are usually 160, 180 or 200 cm wide. The length varies between 200 and 220 centimeters. 

It is generally said that one large partner double mattress is only suitable for couples who have similar preferences regarding the hardness of the mattress and want to sleep on the same surface. 

For our mattress SARA however, this rule does not apply. With our mattresses the hardness of each half of the mattress may be different according to individual needs of each of the partners.  Thanks to integrated orthopedic lamellar grids each partner can have their own weight category. JOne half of the SÁRA mattress can therefore be softer, the other half firmer. All our double mattresses have in common is the cover that holds the entire mattress together.

We manufacture all our mattresses in our workshop in Valašské Meziříčí, that is why we are able to make you a double mattress precisely tailored so that you can feel fresh and rested every morning.

Advantages and disadvantages of the SÁRA double mattress

+ pluses

  • no gap is created between the mattresses - the SÁRA double mattress has a connected upper spreading layer
  • we can do the SÁRA double mattress adapt to individual needs of each of the partners
  • thanks to two separate integrated slatted slats of the SÁRA double mattress does not transmit shocks while turning the partner
  • for mattresses SARA Spirit and SARA Boxspring despite the larger size of the mattress, it is very easy to remove and wash the cover - only the upper part is washed
  • double mattresses are suitable even for beds without sides – prevention of mattress displacement 

– minuses

  • double mattress not suitable for positioning grids
  • more difficult handling due to higher weight
  • for mattresses SARA Basic, SARA Classic and SARA Komfort more complicated washing due to the larger dimensions of the cover (doesn't fit in a regular washing machine) - but can be easily solved by buying a large mattress protector
  • the mattress is transported in a disassembled state, but its composition is very simple - alternatively, you can choose delivery and assembly by our technicians

SÁRA double mattresses can only be combined with storage spaces and slats that fold out from the legs.

To order a double mattress in our online store, you only need to enter a width of 140 cm or more, the configuration options for the partner will be displayed automatically. We are also happy to advise you in our showrooms, by phone, email or online chat.

Our partner double mattress SÁRA perfectly adapts to the needs of both partners, without a space in the middle and without interfering with each other when rolling over during sleep. 

Two separate mattresses

The second option is two separate mattresses. Their advantages include easier maintenance and handling. Cover without problems can also be washed in a regular washing machine. In addition, it is easier to ventilate or rotate the mattress, as it weighs less than a double mattress. If in the end you decide on two separate mattresses, it is important that they are the same height, size and are suitable for your type of frame and bed. 

For two single mattresses, the gap between the mattresses can be solved by purchasing a common mattress protector.

TIP: The mattress should be fixed in the bed so that it does not shift. Therefore, we recommend embedding the SÁRA mattress at least 5 cm below the upper edge of the sideboard.

Advantages and disadvantages of two separate SÁRA mattresses

+ pluses

  • easier handling
  • easier washing of the cover
  • easy dressing mattress
  • suitable for all types of slatted grates including positioning ones 
  • compatible with all types of storage spaces
  • each mattress can be used separately for a single bed if necessary

– minuses

  • gap between mattresses - can be partially solved by purchasing a mattress protector
  • single mattress is not suitable for beds without sides

 

TIP: The gap between the mattresses can be solved by purchasing mattress protector, which will cover the gap.

The advantage is that, all components of SÁRA mattresses are easily replaceable and in the future it is possible to make a single mattress into a double mattress and vice versa. 

Whether you choose a double mattress or two single mattresses, there is always important to consider the personal preferences and needs of both partners and choose the option that suits you best. It is also important to consider the type of bed, slats or whether or not you have storage space in the bed.

In case of any doubts or questions, you can contact us at any time, we will be happy to advise you on choosing a mattress or renewing it.

What does sleep hygiene include?

Sleep hygiene involves creating such bedroom, in which you will feel good and which will support both the quality of sleep and your mental well-being. Quality bed made of natural wood se correctly selected mattresses, Pillows and bed linen are the basis of every cozy bedroom. They are no less important, of course sleep habits. So how do you get the best sleep?

1. Bedroom, a place for your rest

The bedroom should only serve to sleep a to an intimate life. Therefore, do not perform any other activities in bed, such as eating, rolling, watching movies, etc., which only take you away from sleep. Limit the use of electronics, which creates electrosmog and thus disrupts the natural sleep rhythm. 

When choosing bedding, beds and the whole bedroom interior give soothing priority pastel colors. Furnish your bedroom in a minimalist style, it will look airy and you will sleep better.

All materials used (bed frames, supporting slats, mattresses, bedding) it must be not harmful to health. Use natural materials helps with its properties to best evoke a feeling of cozy, a quiet and safe place to sleep.

3. Mattresses according to your needs

The mattress should be adequate Sturdy while sensitively copying the shape of your body in any position. When lying on your side, your spine should naturally level.

Because helps to relax the intervertebral discs. These can then bleed and spine and the entire nervous system regenerates better. The difference between sleeping on an ordinary and orthopedic slatted mattress is therefore striking.

The mattress must "breathe", so choose a composition made of breathable materials. Otherwise, an undesirable environment suitable for the growth of bacteria, mites and fungi may form on the mattresses. It is also important that the design of the mattress also provides space for moisture ventilation. Find out more in our article - Mattresses suitable for allergy sufferers and asthmatics.

1. Build simple sleep habits

If you get used to falling asleep and getting up at the same time every day, getting up will be more pleasant for you. Getting enough sleep is key to regenerating the body

The ideal sleep time for an adult is between 7-8 hours. In "Why We Sleep," author M. Walker explains what happens to you when you sleep less than six hours a day. With such a regimen, you weaken your body, which leads to a higher risk of disease (cancer, Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease), says the author.

You may have experienced for yourself that if you do not sleep, you have a greater appetite. This is due to the fact that the body changes the levels of two hormones. On the one hand, it produces a higher level ghrelin hormone (called a hunger hormone), which causes feelings of hunger. And at the same time a smaller level hormone leptinwhich points out that you are full. This can lead to gradual weight gain. 
If you have trouble falling asleep regularly at the same time, set a reminder at least 1 hour before you want go to sleep. This will allow you time to resolve the remaining responsibilities and calm your body and mind.

TIP FOR DEEP SLEEP:

Bed ZIRBE according to studies will reduce your heart rate by up to 3,500 heartbeats per night. That's about 1 hour of heart activity. 

FLABO bed with upholstered headboard in ZIRBE wood

Instead of spending time on a mobile phone, computer or television, take a hot bath, listen to relaxing music or read the next chapter of your favorite book. Your dinner may also affect your sleep. If you eat heavy food (fatty meat, mushrooms, cabbage) before going to bed, your body will digest it longer and thus fall asleep harder. The opposite is also true when you lie down with an empty stomach. We generally recommend eating light and easily digestible food no later than 2 hours before bedtime. Keep that in mind proper sleep hygiene is the basis for getting up easily. 

Last but not least, sleep on natural and solid bedto help you Restore up to 90 % of your physical (and mental) strength. You will spend up to a third of your life in bed, so it pays to buy one that is high quality, preferably from solid wood. In addition, ours will last you for generations. The quality of sleep will be significantly supported not only by the bed, but also comfortable mattresseswhich can properly support your spine and relax it perfectly during sleep. We recommend trying our orthopedic slatted mattresswhich adapts perfectly to your figure, giving your body the relaxation it needs. We guarantee that you will wake up in the morning much more relaxed.

HEALTHY BACK TIP:

Don't know how to choose the perfect mattress for your back? We will advise you!

2. Say "no" to scrolling the alarm

Do your wounds sometimes look like you set the alarm off for another 5 minutes 10 times and then you feel like a "sack of a goofy" all morning? Your body is experiencing shock due to this bad habit. By constantly postponing the alarm, you are giving him confusing signals. Constant awakening and falling asleep again flushes out stress hormones, which have the task of starting the whole organism for the beginning of the day. Such a morning can result in a tired and unproductive day. 

The body loves routines, so it is important to follow regular exercise, diet and, of course, sleep. Try to get up at the same time every day, whether you have a job or a day off. Your body adjusts its biorhythms, and about two hours before the alarm rings, it will slowly wake up on its own. For example, it raises body temperature and flushes out stress hormones that help start the body.

If you happen to wake up to sleep, get up before the alarm rings. The body gives you a signal that now is the perfect time to start working. If you burrow into the duvets again and fall asleep, you will feel even more dormant and irritable the next time you wake up. Excess sleep crumbles with circadian system (biological rhythm - fluctuations between sleep and wakefulness) in the brain. This detuning can have similar effects, such as crossing time zones or excess alcohol. By sleeping regularly, you can suffer from a wide range of health problems (diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease). 

TIP, HOW TO LEARN FIRST: 

If you need to get up sooner than you normally do, go for it slowly. 

  • Set an alarm 10-15 minutes each day until you gradually get to your scheduled morning time. 

  • Keep in mind that if you want to get up earlier, you must also go to bed early, this is the only way to get the right sleep time.

 

3. Wake up to the light

Most of us don't want to get up in the dark. It dawns very early in the summer, so just pull out the curtains and welcome the sun. But what to do in the winter, when you usually get up in the dark? It can help you, for example smart lighting, which will help you wake up slowly before the alarm rings. Even the most ardent sleep alcoholics can wake up pleasantly even before the alarm clock rings.

How light awakens us:  

  • The slowly increasing amount of light gently moves you from the deep sleep phase to the lighter one, and thus you wake up much more naturally. 
  • Sunrise causes a decrease in the production of melatonin (sleep hormone) in your body and thus begins the waking phase. 
  • About 20-30 minutes after sunrise, the natural process of waking up in your body will automatically begin.

4. Keep the alarm clock away from the bed together
with a glass of water

There is nothing easier than setting the alarm on your bedside table for another five minutes. But if you move him away from the bed before going to bed, you will be forced to come to him and thus wake up. Have a glass of water ready at the alarm clock and drink at that moment. And even though you haven't wanted to yet, you're already awake. How easy!

5. Start the day with what you enjoy

Are you chasing the idea of what annoying is waiting for you that day or how much you have to do? Keep responsibilities that stress you out for later. Your personal morning rituals will help you do that.

Stretch for example quick morning warm-up. You will warm up stiff muscles, stimulate blood and expel endorphins into the circulation, which will put you in a pleasant mood for the whole day. Or try to practice a simple yoga set - greeting the sun - that everyone can do. Go for a run and after the exercise take a refreshing shower… Or, if you like lounging, make time for yourself, relax in comfortable armchair with coffee or tea and read a few pages from your favorite book.

1. Mattress size

How big of a mattress do you need?

Mattress length

For a comfortable sleep , your mattress should be at least 20 cm longer than your height. And although most of us are used to a length of up to 200 cm from the past, today it is no longer a problem to get mattresses 220 cm long or more. If nature has blessed you with above-average height, get a mattress on which you can sleep even without your feet in the air.

The width of the mattress

The width of the mattress for a double bed should be at least 80 cm for one person. But if the space allows, choose even wider - every cm can make a big difference. If it is an occasional sleepover, you can get by with a width of 70 cm per person. In the case of a single bed , the width of the bed should not be less than 90 cm.

Mattress height

Many people think that the higher the mattress, the more comfortable it is. But this is a myth and a marketing move by companies that force customers to buy more expensive higher mattresses. Athletes and active people will generally be more comfortable with a lower mattress , preferably one that is closely linked to the orthopedic lamella system . The mattress will thus breathe perfectly and dissipate excess heat. With increasing weight and age, choose a higher mattress. A higher mattress distributes weight better and captures more basal heat, which is produced less in the elderly than in younger people.

2. Bed slats

What kind of grate do you have?

Although you will never hear this question from many salespeople, the answer to it is crucial. In order to have a good night's sleep, you need to follow a simple rule: " Let the bed frame or the mattress spring, not both ".

Therefore, if you choose a slatted or segmented grid, it is advisable to get a simple mattress without spring elements. Alternatively, ask about the possibility of reinforcing it so that it can be used with the grate. We will be happy to adjust your mattress free of charge so that its correct orthopedic function is preserved.

Those who choose a fixed grate are at an advantage. Any mattress can be placed on it. The ideal combination is then a solid grid with a flexible mattress. These include spring mattresses or mattresses with an integrated slatted grid .

If you want to buy an adjustable bed frame, make sure that the mattress you choose is suitable for it. In general, lower mattresses, up to a height of 22 cm, are better suited. In any case, consider using a holder to prevent the mattress from sliding unintentionally on the slat.

3. Physical disposition

What is your character?

Although most manufacturers provide information on what weight category a given mattress is suitable for, this is simplified information. It actually depends on the pressure you put on the mattress. And this is determined not only by your weight, but also by your height and build.

Our advice is " as the proportion of muscle mass increases, choose a harder mattress ". If you are a muscular person, you will probably feel better on a firmer mattress. If you don't like to move, you will sleep better on a softer mattress.

4. Health

Are you suffering from any health problems?

A mattress can help you with some health problems. However, if you choose it wrong, the result will be the exact opposite. First of all, try to consult your doctor or, for example, a physiotherapist, especially if it concerns more serious health problems.
If you are not receiving treatment anywhere, we have simple advice for you. If you suffer from joint pain, degenerative spine damage, pressure sores or venous problems, choose a mattress with a layer that distributes point pressure well. As a rule, these are higher and softer mattresses. Try memory foam or natural latex, or soft PUR foam. Hard mattresses will be completely unsuitable for you.
If you suffer from common back pain , you will benefit your body best with a mattress with a lower and firmer layer of surface foam. Spreading the pressure with e.g. memory foam is rather undesirable in this case, on the other hand, a solid mattress on which there will be no problem to change position at any time will do you a good job.
But always keep in mind that the mattress must first of all allow the spine to relax. So choose one that will keep your spine in its physiological position.

5. Allergies

Are you allergic?

If your answer is "yes", then always choose a mattress with an easily removable, washable cover . If you are directly allergic to dust mites, make sure that the cover is washable at least at 60°C . Allergens can be partly removed by regular vacuuming, but a washing machine will provide you with a much better service. Washing also removes sweat and other organic impurities that create an environment suitable for mites and mold.

How do you evaluate last year and this year from the point of view of business?

Last year was really difficult for us. In the world and in our company, a situation arose that we had never experienced before and we were forced to adapt to it as best we could. Fortunately, last year was a successful result. We felt that our customers invest more in the interiors and comfort of a home in which they spend more time than ever before.

Did / did the coronavirus pandemic have any significant impact on production, sales or delivery? Or how specifically?

 We were forced to close all 5 of our corporate stores, and the stores of our partners were also closed. In total, more than 7 months. On the other hand, the covid situation accelerated the implementation of postponed ideas and we began to focus our efforts on "contactless" services such as online consultations via the Whatsapp or Skype applications. On request, we also send customers catalogs, swatches of surface finishes or create 3D interior designs free of charge.

The closure of our showrooms also provided us with space to shoot virtual 3D tours of showrooms and new videos about products and the company. Thanks to this, we can present customers not only our showrooms online, but also our products.

The biggest project we have been working on for a long time and we have managed to successfully complete is the improvement of our website and the launch of a new e-shop. We have also strengthened online campaigns and communication on social networks.

Production and shipping took place and continue at all times in compliance with hygiene and safety measures. It is demanding, but thanks to that we were able to maintain a relatively normal production cycle and deliver orders within a reasonable time.

The coming generation

DAVID JELÍNEK

David is the son of one of the owners of the company. He has been "moving" in the company since he was a child. From the beginning, he tried various jobs in the workshop, during his studies he helped with the company with marketing and business. Now, after graduating from university, he is fully engaged in working in the company.

"The biggest project we've been working on for a long time is improving our website."

"We also started making new videos about products and the company."

For example, did you have a problem with a loss of staff, a lack of material, or a problem with transportation abroad?

So far, we have had 18 employees who are positive for Covid-19, which is a relatively high number of the total number of 80 employees, but thanks to compliance with hygiene and safety rules, it was never a community transfer in the company. However, production outages also affected the absence of employees due to closed schools, when our colleagues had to look after their children at home.

For us, transport abroad means above all the export of goods to Slovakia. Drivers are always tested before each trip abroad and we are thus able to comply with the regulations of both the Czech and Slovak governments.

As far as materials are concerned, we are seeing a really significant increase in prices (eg wood, fittings, foams, fabrics, cartons, etc.). We often encounter delayed deliveries or a major shortage of a certain type of material.

"The closure of our showrooms also provided us with space to shoot virtual 3D tours of the showrooms."

Do you export furniture abroad or do you focus exclusively on the Czech market? Possibly for export - where is it possible to export furniture?

 We export about a third of our production mainly to Central Europe. However, we also sent our products to the Cayman Islands or Australia, for example, so we can pack and send our products practically anywhere in the world as a carrier. We provide delivery and assembly with our technicians throughout the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and we have also assembled our furniture several times in neighboring Austria and Germany.

According to the Association of Czech Furniture Makers, the domestic market continues to strengthen its supplies of foreign furniture - both from Poland, China and Germany. How difficult is it to compete with imported furniture? Can it be matched by a price? What do Czech customers actually hear the most - is it the lowest possible price or do they suffer mainly from quality?

 Our family company focuses on the production of quality solid wood furniture to order and orthopedic slatted mattresses also tailored to each user - these products are qualitatively and price different from ordinary laminate furniture, so I can not adequately assess what the average consumer hears, but our customers it tolerates quality, perfect customer service and an individual approach, including custom production.

Among other things, we perceive that our customers want to support a traditional family business from Wallachia. After all, my great-grandfather founded the company in 1897.
