Can changing your bedding really improve your mood?

Bedding comes in all kinds of styles, colours and fabrics – choosing the right sheets for you can be exhausting. Though it’s worth doing your research. There are a few ways what you wrap up in can influence your mood, from colour, and comfort to fabric. Your bedroom is a place where you can unwind, restore and indulge in the rest you need to stay at your best.

What is the best colour bedding to give your mood a boost?

The colour of your bedroom decor can make an impact on your well-being. Colour has long been known to affect our emotions, from the calming effects of blues and greens to the more energising yellows and oranges. When it comes to bedtime, your bedding is one of the most personal investments you make. You want to choose a colour that invokes the feeling you most desire. For a good night’s sleep, colours that will make you feel relaxed and calm work best.

Can the comfort of your bedding affect your mood?

Should you change your bedding with the seasons?

The change of season can affect everything from the time we get up to when we start to feel sleepy. Having the right bedding from winter through to summer can help you optimise your rest and keep you feeling perky. During the hotter months, you will want to wrap up in breathable, light bed sheets, while in winter, you might want something a bit more textured to stay cosy. Bamboo bedding is naturally thermoregulating, so you can stay snuggled up all year round without changing your sheets. The breathable fabric reacts to your body temperature, so come rain or shine, you will stay sleeping soundly. Bamboo and French linen can offer a slightly denser, more textured feel for winter and add a bit of chic, natural style. Both sets are ultra-durable, so you can enjoy plenty of mood-boosting bedtimes, whatever you choose.

How do you choose the best bed sheets for your mood?

Now you know why bedding affects your mood, your probably wondering how you choose the right type for you. This really depends on what colours make you feel most relaxed, the fabrics that are best for your skin and the climate that you live in.

Here are some key factors you want to consider:

Material and thread count

Choosing the right fabric for your skin can make a big difference to the comfort of your sleep. Soft, smooth luxurious fabrics like bamboo offer the same feel as the highest cotton thread count while being far more sustainable and naturally free of toxins and chemicals. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, choosing a material that is kind to your skin will ensure you enjoy irritation-free sleep and brighter mornings.

Style

Your bedroom, your rules. Allow yourself to choose a bedding that matches your style and blends well with the rest of your decor. Enjoying the space you unwind and relax in can boost your mood, so it’s important you style it out in a way that suits you. Whether that’s with cosy pinks, fresh whites or neutral greys when it comes to bedding, go with what channels your unique style and makes you smile.

Texture and breathability

The texture and breathability of your bedding can affect the quality of your kip. If your bed sheets feel good, so will you. Naturally breathable fabrics like bamboo are hypoallergenic, providing a soft, smooth silky feel, while bamboo and linen offer something more textured. What is best for you comes down to your personal preference. Try and experiment with different fabrics until bedtime feels perfect.
