Get the right pillow and duvet for the winter

"For quality sleep, it is definitely appropriate to distinguish duvets and change them according to the season. Based on the insulating properties of duvets, we distinguish between cool, suitable for the summer season and warm, or even extra warm thermal blankets, suitable for the winter months, ”says Zuzana Rafajlovičová from Jysk.

Tip!

An interesting variant are the so-called sets consisting of a thinner duvet for the summer and a thicker one for a transitional period (spring and autumn). For the winter, both duvets are used at the same time.

However, it would be misleading to consider the calorific value of a duvet purely according to its thickness. How much heat will be under a particular blanket depends mainly on the material with which it is filled. It can be a natural material, whether feathers, down, silk, cotton or wool.

But it can also be man-made fibers, the most common of which are polyester. Each of the materials is otherwise heavy, has a different load capacity (ie it is otherwise fluffy) and also otherwise willingly wicks sweat away from the body.

If you have problems with allergies to natural materials, or sweat frequently and often, you should choose blankets made of artificial materials. Those who are not bothered by such problems can indulge in natural materials.

"In any case, and especially today, it applies to pillows and blankets that we should choose products with antibacterial treatment. Therefore, for example, Naturtex products are treated with the unique Bi-ome technology, which destroys microorganisms and prevents their formation and multiplication. This reduces the number of mites and the anti-allergic effect ensures healthy and safe sleep. These properties are not reduced even by repeated washing, "recommends Petr Baudyš, Penny's head of quality.

Under a bloated, anti-stress duvet

Mental well-being also contributes to quality sleep. For some, the so-called anti-stress blanket can be beneficial. "It is a heavy blanket that weighs from 6 to 10 kg. It creates a deep constant pressure on your body, which will help you relax and unwind. As a result, it contributes to better sleep. It makes you feel like someone is hugging you - a pleasant, soothing and surrounding feeling. Choose a heavy blanket that corresponds to 10-15% of your body weight to achieve the optimal effect, ”recommends Markéta Polcarová, Ikea ČR's chief interior designer.

Choose a pillow according to the position in which you sleep most often

The shape and height of the pillow is especially important for quality sleep. Choosing it should not be difficult. Think about the position you usually sleep in. Keep in mind that the head, neck and spine should be level during sleep.

So choose a low pillow if you sleep on your stomach, and a higher one, or so-called memory foam, if you sleep on your back or side. A harder anatomical pillow is more suitable for sleeping on the side, and medium hard for sleeping on the back.

There are also ergonomic pillows on the market for all sleeping positions if you want extra support.
