Bed comfort comes from many factors: the right pillow supports your neck, the right blanket keeps your temperature even, quality sheets feel comfortable against your skin, and the mattress supports your body properly. When any one of these elements is wrong, the quality of your sleep suffers. Comfort is individual and depends on your body structure, sleeping position, and personal preferences. Even small changes can make a significant difference in your sleeping comfort.
Why does a bed feel uncomfortable and how is comfort created?
Bed comfort is a whole, where every element affects the quality of sleep. The quality and condition of the mattress form the basis for a good sleep. An old or wrong type of mattress causes pressure points and prevents the body from relaxing properly. The pillow affects the position of the neck and spine, the blanket regulates body temperature and the sheets create a pleasant feeling against the skin.
Your sleeping position largely determines the type of support that suits your body. If you sleep on your side, you need a higher pillow to fill the space between your shoulder and neck, while if you sleep on your back, a lower pillow will keep your spine in its natural position. The weight and thermal class of the blanket also affect whether you stay warm enough during the night without overheating or freezing.
Comfort is always individual. Body structure, weight, temperature and personal preferences all influence what feels comfortable for you. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to all elements of your sleeping environment and making the necessary adjustments.
How does a pillow affect the comfort of a bed and how to choose the right pillow?
A pillow is one of the most important factors in sleeping comfort, as it supports your neck and keeps your spine in the correct position throughout the night. The wrong pillow causes neck pain , headaches and poor sleep quality. The right pillow, on the other hand, helps your muscles relax and significantly improves your sleep.
Fiber pillows are popular because they are easy to care for and hypoallergenic. They can be machine washed at 60 degrees and are suitable for all sleeping positions. Down pillows are light and breathable, and they mold to the position of the head. Silk pillows are hypoallergenic and cooling, so they are especially suitable for people with sensitive skin and warm sleepers. Ergonomic memory foam pillows support the neck anatomically correctly and help relieve neck pain.
Choose a pillow according to your sleeping position: side sleepers need a high pillow, back sleepers need a medium-height pillow, and stomach sleepers need a low pillow. In our selection you will find different options for every need, such as Hotel Luxus microfiber pillows, Høie fiber pillows and ergonomic Symbio and Comfort Air models.
What role do blankets and sheets play in sleeping comfort?
The right duvet and quality sheets can significantly improve the quality of your sleep. The duvet regulates your body temperature during the night, and sheets are closest to your skin, so their material and feel directly affect your sleeping comfort. The wrong temperature rating or uncomfortable material can disrupt your sleep and cause sweating or chills.
Fiber blankets are easy to care for and hypoallergenic, and are available in different warmth classes. Hotel Luxus blankets offer hotel-level comfort and withstand repeated washing. Down blankets are light and breathable, and they regulate temperature naturally. Silk blankets offer natural temperature regulation and are antibacterial, making them ideal for year-round use.
The material of the sheets affects how the bed feels. Satin stripe is cool and hotel-like, linen breathes well and improves with use, silk is luxurious and suitable for sensitive skin, and cotton is durable and Oeko-Tex certified. Choose the temperature class according to the season and your own temperature. The Hoie series of sheets and the Hotel Luxus collections offer high-quality options for different needs.
How can I improve the overall comfort of my bed?
Improving your bed comfort requires a holistic approach. Mattress protectors and pillow protectors improve hygiene and extend the life of the products. They protect the mattress and pillows from moisture and dirt, making sleeping cleaner and healthier.
Create a layered bedding system that combines the right pillow, matching duvet and quality sheets. Air the bed regularly and wash textiles according to the manufacturer's instructions. Blankets and throws provide extra comfort and warmth, and they also serve as decorative elements in the bedroom.
Try different combinations and give your body time to get used to new products. A new pillow or blanket may feel strange at first, but after a few nights your body will adjust.
