High-quality bedding directly affects the quality of your sleep and thus your overall well-being. A good pillow supports your neck and head in the right position, preventing neck and shoulder pain and headaches. A high-quality blanket, on the other hand, has a significant impact on regulating your body temperature during the night, which promotes deeper and uninterrupted sleep.
Sisustus1's selection of hotel-quality pillows and duvets offers the same comfort you're used to in quality hotels for home use. Premium materials such as high-quality down and synthetic fibers have been selected to provide optimal support and comfort night after night.
Allergy sufferers in particular will be pleased to know that high-quality materials and regular maintenance reduce the accumulation of dust mites and allergens. This makes Sisustus1 products an ideal choice even for sensitive skin and respiratory tracts.
How often should you replace your pillow?
The average lifespan of a pillow is 2-3 years, but this varies significantly depending on the material. The most obvious sign of a pillow needing replacement is its ability to bounce back to its original shape – when a pillow becomes sagged and no longer provides the support you need, it’s time to get a new one.
There are significant differences in the durability of different types of pillows:
- Down pillows: Usually last 3-5 years depending on quality, sometimes even longer
- Synthetic fiber pillows: The lifespan is usually 1-2 years, but high-quality products can last significantly longer.
- Memory foam pillows: Typically retain their properties for 2-3 years
Stains, yellowing, an unpleasant odor, or increased allergy symptoms on your pillow are clear signs that it's time to replace it.
How to extend the life of a blanket with proper care?
The lifespan of a blanket can be significantly extended with careful care. Proper washing and storage can even double the lifespan of a quality blanket, saving both money and the environment. Always follow the manufacturer's washing instructions first, but in general:
- Down duvets: Wash 1-2 times a year with a mild special detergent, dry well and shake regularly to maintain airiness.
- Synthetic fiber blankets: Can withstand multiple washes, wash about 3-4 times a year
- Wool blankets: Favor ventilation and use washing judiciously, often cleaning the stained areas is enough
Always protect your duvet with a clean duvet cover and use separate protective bags for storage if necessary. When changing with the season, store your unused duvet in an airy place, preferably in a cotton storage bag. Avoid plastic storage solutions that do not breathe.
How can you recognize a quality pillow and blanket?
Recognizing a quality pillow and blanket is an important skill that directly affects sleeping comfort and the durability of the products. High-quality textiles stand out in many ways:
- Materials: High-quality down (high fill power value), pure cotton and high-quality synthetic fibers (microfiber, not ball fiber or hollow fiber)
- Construction: Tight stitching, strong seams and high-quality outer fabric
- Filling: Evenly distributed, which returns to its shape after use
- Manufacturing: Meticulous finishing and professional workmanship
Sisustus1's products meet the strict criteria for professional-grade bedding, as they are originally designed to withstand the demands of hotel use. This is reflected in, among other things, more durable materials, better finishes, and a longer lifespan compared to regular supermarket products.
You will also notice a difference in weight and feel in a quality pillow or blanket – they are usually a bit heavier and feel luxurious in your hands. By investing in quality products once, you will save money in the long run as you will need to replace them less often.
