Thermoregulation is one of the most important properties of the body, which affects the quality of human sleep. The ability to optimize body temperature, regardless of external conditions, can be supported by appropriate duvets, pillows and pillowcases.
INTERNAL AND SURFACE BODY TEMPERATURE
In humans, two types of body temperature can be distinguished - internal and surface. Internal temperature mainly refers to the abdomen, head, and chest. In ideal conditions, it oscillates around 36-37°C, and its stability is greatly influenced by our state of health. If its value is unstable, the body alerts us that it is ill. Surface temperature, on the other hand, informs us about the condition of muscles and skin. Its values are less stable because they are affected by changing external conditions.
When a person is cold, they start to shiver, as the body tries to generate energy through muscle contractions. If we are hot, we sweat – this process involves transferring moisture to the surface of the body. From there, sweat evaporates, cooling the body.
Thermoregulation as the key to peaceful sleep and pleasant awakenings.
THERMOREGULATION DURING SLEEP
The moment fatigue sets in, the body slowly begins to lower its internal temperature, preparing for sleep, because only a cooled body allows for the regeneration necessary for the brain.
Once we fall asleep, any temperature fluctuations worsen the quality of rest. They cause repeated disturbances in sleep and wakefulness phases or complete awakenings. It is therefore necessary to maintain a microclimate near the body that fully satisfies all its needs. Its stabilization is aided by a good quality mattress, as well as properly selected sheets, bedding, duvet and pillow.
Striving to ensure high-quality children's sleep, it is worth considering not only the proper falling asleep routine, but also appropriate cot equipment.
IT ALL STARTS WITH THE FILLING
Do you tend to sweat more intensely during sleep, or perhaps, on the contrary, you can't get warm? If you belong to the first group, an ideal choice for you will be a breathable filling, one of its main advantages being its ability to effectively wick away moisture. In our assortment, Comfort duvets and pillows perfectly fulfill this function.
If, on the other hand, you tend to feel cold, it's best to opt for the Classic series. It effectively retains the heat that our body naturally generates. A common mistake is to additionally heat the bedroom during sleep and sleep under duvets that don't function properly. This leads to overheating, during which the body cannot rest. Ideally, the room temperature should be kept at 16-20°C, and good quality bedding will take care of the rest.
If something different bothers you every season and you're looking for a duvet and pillows that will serve you perfectly all year round, choose premium Down Comfort fillings made from certified goose down. It has excellent thermoregulatory and absorbent properties, ensuring excellent sleep in all conditions.
Our duvets and pillows filled with 100% anti-allergenic microfiber are distinguished by their lightness and fluffiness.
WHAT YOU SLEEP ON MATTERS
One of the key elements influencing thermoregulation is a suitable mattress, and on it a high-quality sheet. Choose a mattress that does not retain moisture but actively wicks it away. Instead of a traditional foam mattress, we recommend choosing a gel, pocket spring, or latex mattress. A coconut fiber mattress will also serve its purpose well.
The sheet should be airy enough to allow moisture to be transported to the mattress and then wicked away.
At Lejaan, we sew sheets from cotton, organic cotton, and a blend of lyocell with cotton.
BEDDING AS THE ICING ON THE CAKE
A high-quality base in the form of excellent fillings, a functional mattress and a sheet should be complemented by premium bedding that will elevate their properties to the next level. The most important thing is that the pillowcases breathe – this condition is met by all our collections. You only need to decide which material from our assortment suits you best, or what composition the collection in your dream color boasts.
Lejaan bedding provides the desired feeling of relaxation.
A FEW PRACTICAL TIPS
Your legs and head dissipate the most heat from your body. So how do you achieve effective insulation? If you often feel cold when falling asleep, put on socks and try to hide under the duvet for a few minutes, right up to your forehead. Allow the rest of your body to breathe freely to avoid the aforementioned overheating.
Or perhaps, on the contrary, you have a problem with sweating? Try wearing pajamas. They serve as the first layer to wick moisture away from the body through the duvet covers and fillings until it completely evaporates.
WELL-DESERVED REST
To achieve maximum regeneration, comfort and excellent thermoregulation during rest, all these elements must complement each other. High-quality sleep is simply the result of teamwork that struggles when any player is lost.
The point is to be comfortable under the duvet, your body shouldn't sweat, but at the same time there shouldn't be excessive heat loss. This is what thermoregulation ensures. The result is both harmony and peaceful nights filled with uninterrupted sleep.
