What is needed to achieve quality and deep sleep?

Quality bed

Bed is one of the most important inventions of all time. During sleep, a person is able to regenerate up to 90% of his physical and mental strength. Comfortable sleep requires a sufficiently large lying space. The length of the mattress should exceed the height of the body by at least 20 cm. The ideal width of a bed is 90 cm.

Anatomically correct support for the body and cervical spine

Mattresses must be sufficiently firm and yet sensitive copy the body shape in any position, support it properly and release it.
In the side position, the spine axis remains straight, and when lying on the back, in its natural physiologically curved shape. The mattress must be adjusted to the user's weight and dimensions so that it can optimally respond to their body structure. Anatomically shaped pillow sensitively supports the cervical spine. Only in combination with a high-quality anatomical pillow can perfect spinal support be achieved.

Perfect breathability of materials

It is important that the mattress is made of breathable materials, which will ensure sufficient air exchange. The correct design will provide space for ventilation of moisture and minimizes the occurrence of mold, bacteria and mites. This prevents the body from overheating while sleeping, allows for proper thermoregulation, and the breathability of the materials ensures sleep in a clean and dry environment.

Fresh air supply and ideal temperature in the bedroom

Fresh air will promote the relaxing effects of sleep. Only in a ventilated bedroom can you rest comfortably. The bed should also be placed by the window and away from the radiator. The ideal temperature for sleep is between 17 and 21 °C, because it promotes the natural lowering of body temperature and makes it easier to fall asleep. A cooler environment improves the quality of sleep cycles, especially deep and REM sleep, and prevents overheating, which can lead to awakenings.

Darkness and blue light elimination

It is also important to limit the blue component of light before going to sleep, because disrupts production melatonin, the hormone responsible for regulating sleep. Darkness is also very essential for sleep because it helps the body maintain its natural circadian rhythmThis leads to deeper and uninterrupted sleep.
