Experience the Difference Memory Foam Warehouse’s Sleep Essentials Can Make in Your Life
What do you need to sleep?
The most basic answer, of course, is a bed. If we have a dedicated place to lie down, most of us will be able to get some shut-eye. The quality of that shut-eye, however... Well, that’s a different matter.
Sleep… there’s an art to it
The fundamentals of sleep are very much rooted in science. There are a defined set of biological processes that work together to ensure the body gets the rest it needs to heal and rejuvenate. But the science of sleep only goes so far. On the other side of the coin, we see that there’s an art to sleep, and this highlights how there’s much more to slumber than we may think.
While we may be able to get some basic biological-powered rest with a bed alone, we can control the quality of that rest by using a combination of external elements that support our sleep habits.
What do we mean by that? Well, imagine a minimalist prison cell, with bare walls and a rock-hard mattress. Now picture a luxurious hotel room, with a four-poster bed and gorgeous decor. It’s clear, isn’t it, where you’re going to have the best night’s sleep. And that’s because environment matters.
If you’ve been having a disturbed sleep lately, or find it difficult to nod off, the first thing you should try is making some small changes to your sleep environment. Stop thinking of your sleep space as a ‘bedroom’ – a room for a bed – and start looking at it as a comfortable haven of total relaxation.
From plush mattresses to cosy pillows and stylish covers, our products will transform your bedroom into a sanctuary of comfort. Keep reading to find out how to create your own relaxing sleep space.
Creating your own sleep sanctuary
So… just how do you create your own personal sleep sanctuary? One that elevates your sleep and helps you wake up feeling more rested, more refreshed, and more prepared to take on the day ahead?
There are two aspects you’ll want to focus on: sleep essentials, and extra comforts. Sleep essentials are those elements that every sleep environment needs to facilitate a great night’s rest. Extra comforts are those ‘nice to have’ aspects that can help you take your sleep to the next level.
Sleep essentials
Sleep essentials are those things that you really can’t do without. While a bed may technically be all you need for a basic rest, here are four elements that are absolutely critical to a truly relaxing sleep:
- High-quality bed/bed frame
Every great sleep needs a great foundation, and that foundation is – quite literally – a bed or bed frame. This is often overlooked, but as it’s what your mattress, your pillows, and your body are ultimately going to rest on, getting it right is crucial. There are, of course, many different types of bed frame, in a variety of materials, sizes, and heights. There’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ providing you prioritise quality. Choose a cheap, poorly made frame, and your sleep setup won’t last for long!
- Mattress
Your mattress choice is, perhaps, the biggest and most important decision you can make for your sleep environment. Pick the wrong mattress, and you won’t have the support or comfort you need to doze off. Everyone is different, which is why memory foam really is the absolute best mattress material. As it softens in response to body heat and moulds itself gently to the individual shape of your own body, you can be sure you’re getting support in all the right places, no matter what.
- Mattress cover
Mattress covers are the hidden secret of the sleep sanctuary. Often seen as being more of an extra than a true sleep essential, there’s much more to mattress covers than meets the eye. Believe it or not, they’re not just there to protect your mattress from the occasional spill. In fact, they’re there to keep your mattress in top condition so it's able to keep supporting your sleep needs for longer, in the best possible way. Some covers come with built-in cooling technology to regulate temperature, too.
- Pillows
While a great mattress is there to support your body overnight, it’s your pillows that are going to provide that same level of support and comfort for your neck and head. Once again, it’s important to acknowledge that we’re all different, and this is where memory foam materials are again able to shine. Gently moulding to your own shape, memory foam pillows offer the support you need, exactly where you need it, regardless of whether you sleep with your face to the side, or towards the ceiling.
As you can probably see, the trick to buying powerful sleep essentials is to invest in quality. At Memory Foam Warehouse, quality is what drives us, and we’re pleased to be able to offer a wide range of sleep essentials that will help you transform your bedroom into a haven of relaxation.
Extra comforts
Extra comforts are designed with your own personal sleep needs in mind. These are things that can be tailored to your own preferences, and could go a long way towards creating a more comfortable environment conducive to great sleep. The art of sleep is, of course, just that: an art! So this is something you may need to think carefully about, and determine what’s really best for you.
As a little inspiration, consider aspects such as mattress toppers that can amplify the comfort of your mattress, or different pyjamas that keep you cool, allow you to move freely, and feel nice against your skin. Also have a think about things such as scents and aromas, perhaps using essential oils that have shown calming or relaxing effects, and artwork that can instil a sense of serenity and relaxation.
Everything you need, all in one place
Our bodies need a good rest in order to really recharge, so we all need to stop settling for less-than-perfect. It may seem impossible at times, but the truth is that building your own sleep haven – a sanctuary of relaxation – is quite simple when you know how. And with a wide range of high-quality sleep essentials under one roof, Memory Foam Warehouse is the perfect place to start.
