Throughout your life, you have probably been told that you need to get a good night’s sleep, but why exactly? We are here to consider why sleep is so important, and how you can improve your sleep with our range of wool quilts.
Sleep helps your concentration
When you get a good night’s sleep, you will find it easier to focus the next day. Whether you have a big meeting at work, you are studying, or you just want to be alert, sleep can help.
Sleep helps you avoid being overweight
If you suffer from a lack of sleep, you could be at greater risk of being overweight or obese. This can then lead to other health conditions, such as diabetes.
When you have had a good night’s sleep, you may also make better food choices the next day.
You could have better immunity
When you have more sleep, your body is healthier. It also means that your immune system may be able to fight off infections more easily.
It can improve your mental wellbeing
If you do not get enough sleep, you could be at greater risk of depression. Evidence has shown that there are links between lack of sleep and depression.
Why is wool best for your bed?
To help you get the best night’s sleep, you need a comfortable bed and appropriate bedding. Here at Halcyon Dreams, we love wool for bedding, and there are many reasons why.
You will love snuggling under your wool quilt when it is time to go to bed. It is designed to keep you comfortable throughout the night.
One of the reasons for this is because it regulates your temperature. So, if you often wake up feeling hot and sweaty, wool can prevent this for you. Wool naturally wicks away moisture, and it can even hold up to 30% of its body weight. The moisture is only released when the conditions are dry enough for it to do so.
If you are the kind of person that gets cold, wool will keep you snug and warm on the coldest of nights. It is a bit like having a warm hug.
What’s more, wool is anti-allergy, so if you are ever woken from coughs and sneezes, it can help make that a thing of the past. It is resistant to dust mites, and these can often cause your allergies to flare up.
Along with this, a wool quilt is easy to maintain, and it does not need washing very often. It is naturally odour resistant. When you think it needs airing, just hang it outside in the breeze.
You can find your perfect wool quilt here at Halcyon Dreams. We look forward to seeing you soon.
