How Bedding Affects Sleep: Why Your Sheets Matter More Than You Think

At Crushimo,When it comes to getting better sleep, most people think og mattresses, blackout curtains, or nighttime routines. But often overlooked is something you spend nearly a third of your life with -- your bedding.

At Crushimo, we believe comfort starts with what you sleep on. From the feel of your sheets to how well they regulate temperature, your bedding plays a vital role in how quickly you fall asleep and how rested you feel in the morning.

1. Temperature Regulation: Stay Cool or Cozy

Waking up in the middle of the night feeling too hot or too cold? That’s often a sign your bedding isn’t working for you.

  • Cooling materials like bamboo and lyocell (TENCEL™) wick moisture and promote airflow—ideal for hot sleepers.
  • Cotton flannel and sateen weaves trap warmth for winter months.

💡 Pro tip: Choose breathable sheets for better thermoregulation and fewer sleep interruptions.

2. The Right Fabric = Better Sleep Feel

Texture and softness matter. Your skin is in contact with your sheets all night long, and the fabric’s touch can either calm your body or irritate it.

Popular choices include:

  • Cotton: Soft, breathable, and durable—great all-rounder.
  • Linen: Light, airy, and slightly textured—perfect for summer.
  • Bamboo: Smooth, eco-friendly, and hypoallergenic—ideal for sensitive skin.
  • Lyocell: Ultra-soft and cooling with a silky feel—luxury comfort.

3. The Psychology of a Well-Made Bed

A clean, cozy bed doesn’t just feel good—it actually encourages your brain to wind down. Color psychology plays a role too: calming shades like pale blue, sage green, or beige can promote relaxation and prepare you for rest.

✨ At Crushimo, we design our bedding not just for comfort, but for peace of mind.

 

4. Allergy-Friendly Sleep

If you struggle with allergies or sensitive skin, choosing the right bedding is crucial. Dust mites and synthetic fibers can trigger irritation.

We recommend:

  • Hypoallergenic options like bamboo or TENCEL™
  • Dust-mite-resistant pillow protectors
  • Weekly washing in hot water to remove allergens

Clean sleep is healthy sleep.

 

5. Invest in Sleep, Invest in Yourself
