It is no secret that sound and healthy sleep is the key to good health and a strong nervous system. To really get quality sleep, you need to consider a lot of details, including choosing the right, comfortable bedding. Scientists have found that a person sleeps soundly and has a full rest only in a comfortably furnished, clean, well-ventilated bedroom with high-quality fresh bed linen.
How bedding affects sleep quality
First of all, when decorating a bed, you need to pay attention to the fabric from which the bed sheets are made. Experts note that you should only purchase sets made from natural materials. It helps the skin “breathe” throughout the night, which has a positive effect on a person’s rest and condition.
Synthetic fibers, which can also be used to make bedding sets, are considered less preferable. They can cause direct harm to the health and condition of the body.In this case, the rest will not be complete and restorative.
Important! Several nights spent on low-quality sheets will not cause significant harm to health, but constant exposure to synthetics on the skin during a night's rest is categorically not recommended.
Which tissues negatively affect
Synthetic materials should become taboo for people who care about their own health. Rough, non-breathable underwear literally locks the body in a kind of cocoon at night. A bathhouse effect is created, especially in the summer months, when it is very hot even at night.
A person begins to sweat, but moisture is not able to be absorbed or evaporate, since synthetics do not allow this. As a result, eczema, irritation, allergic reactions and other unpleasant consequences of using such underwear can form.
Too coarse fabrics are also excluded for use as bedding. They will prevent normal immersion in sleep due to unpleasant body sensations. Sleep will also be constantly interrupted, not allowing the person to fully rest.
Which fabrics are best and why?
Today, buying good quality bed linen is not a problem. There are a lot of online stores and boutiques where housewives can purchase something to suit their taste and at an affordable price. Scientists and researchers recommend paying attention only to natural fabrics:
- cotton;
- satin;
- calico;
- poplin and others.
Important! First of all, underwear is selected according to how it feels on the skin. If it is pleasant to the body and comfortable, you can safely choose the appropriate shade.
Silk is also a natural material and is quite acceptable in use, but it is not a material for everyone.Not everyone will enjoy the feeling of bed linens flowing and slipping away. Before purchasing, it is better to “try on” the sheets and make sure that they are really suitable for everyday use.
The advantage of natural fabrics is their breathability. They “breathe” and help the body to completely relax and enjoy a night's rest. Air easily penetrates through the laundry and does not encounter obstacles on its way to the human body. In addition, the breathability of linen is considered an important component for normal heat exchange.
How does bed influence your health?
A person’s health directly depends on a night’s rest. Bed linen plays an equally important role, one of the dominant ones, since during sleep the body does not cease to perceive tactile sensations and, if the linen is chosen of poor quality, it will focus the brain’s attention on this moment and interfere with normal rest.
In some cases, a poor-quality set of sheets and duvet covers can lead to various allergic reactions and rashes, as well as problems with the cardiovascular system.
Relationship with sleep quality
Scientists were able to find out that not only the quality of linen determines healthy sleep, but also the color schemes of this bedroom decoration item are no less important. The most preferred shades are:
- white (creates the confidence of cleanliness around, helps you quickly fall asleep and feel confident all night long);
- blue (promotes calm and quick sleep, often recommended by psychologists for people who suffer from nightmares);
- pink (relaxes and eliminates aggression, relieves tension and stress from a long day);
- green (allows you to achieve emotional balance and sleep peacefully at night so that you can wake up alert and rested in the morning);
- blue (eliminates feelings of fear and relaxes);
- brown (gives a feeling of coziness and comfortable warmth, relaxes and calms);
- black (not a choice for everyone, but it still helps you instantly fall asleep and relax without dreams).
Important! Red and orange are considered ambiguous colors. On the one hand, the sunny shade gives a good mood and vigor, but it does not have the best effect on sleep, constantly interrupting dreams. Red is also not preferable for night rest, but it can lower blood pressure and normalize blood circulation.
Thus, when choosing bed linen, first of all you need to decide on a material that is comfortable to touch, and then pay attention to a suitable shade. High-quality underwear must meet all the requirements for proper sleep. However, it must be changed regularly at least 4 times a month. The ideal option is to change bed linen every other day or daily.
Reactions of the skin, nervous system, lungs
The skin is the largest organ of the human excretory system. At night, processes only slow down, but do not stop functioning. That is why you need to take care of high-quality bedding material so that the sweat released at night does not linger on the skin and evaporates, and the body “breathes.”
Synthetic fabrics of sheets do not allow moisture to evaporate and do not even absorb it, leaving it on the skin. This leads to rashes and allergic reactions. Over time, with regular use of such underwear, a person may notice the formation of eczema and pustules, which will subsequently be very difficult to cope with.
The nervous system reacts sharply to the shades of bed linen, so it is better to choose calm, relaxing models. The respiratory system also reacts sharply to the environment during sleep. Poor-quality linen, which is constantly used in everyday life, can lead to disturbances in the respiratory function of the body and to various pathologies.
Tips for choosing bedding
Each family should have several sets of linen so that they can be changed in a timely manner without neglecting the resting place; it should always be clean and tidy. Before purchasing, be sure to evaluate the feel of the underwear on your skin. Only after determining the softest and most comfortable option should you look for a color that is pleasing to the eye.
It is also recommended to pay attention to the patterns and appliqués that often decorate the sheets. Large ornaments usually promote manifestations of passion, but interfere with a normal night's rest. For complete relaxation, it is better to choose animalistic motifs, nature or geometric abstract shapes. The best choice would be plain bed linen or a cozy set with small flowers.
