Here\u2019s Your 101 For A Good Night\u2019s\u00a0Sleep<\/h4>\n
<\/figure>\n

A<\/span> lot of factors go to play to achieve a good night\u2019s sleep. Temperature, ambiance, but most importantly the bedding<\/a> and pillows<\/a>. They\u2019re the most direct thing your body touches when you hit the sack, and we all know how sensitive our body can be after drifting to a very relaxed state. If you don\u2019t like to be awakened by prickly linens or floppy pillows, instead of solely focusing on the aesthetics, look for those that suit your lifestyle. You\u2019d have to zero in on the nitty-gritty details such as the size, fabric, and ergonomics to find the perfect fit. Though no worries, we\u2019ll be here with you every step of the way.<\/p>\n

Bedding<\/strong><\/h3>\n
<\/figure>\n

A lot of considerations need to be made when picking out your bedding. It\u2019s not just the looks, but the fabric, thread count, and weave pattern too.<\/p>\n

1. Fabric<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sort of fabric used mainly governs the whole feel of your bedding\u200a\u2014\u200awith linen, cotton, poly-blend, and silk being the common faces. Given the choice, silk certainly offers the most comfort but at the same time, it\u2019s also the most expensive. For something less pricy yet comfy, cotton is your best bet. Though, if you have extra to splurge on, Egyptian cotton exudes luxury.<\/p>\n

2. Thread Count<\/strong><\/p>\n

You probably didn\u2019t care how many threads there were in each square inch of fabric before. But that\u2019s going to change today, as a higher thread count indicates softer sheets and longer durability. Good sheets range anywhere between 200 to 800. Though, do keep in mind that anything above 400 will likely come with a costly price tag.<\/p>\n

3. The Weave<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like the fabric, the sort of weave also decides the look and feel of the bedding. Hence, it\u2019s important to put this into consideration when picking out yours. There are a few types\u200a\u2014\u200ajersey, microfiber, satin\u200a\u2014\u200ajust to name a few. Though, the most common ones we see are percale and sateen. The former makes the bed sheet feel light and crisp while the latter has a luxurious touch.<\/p>\n

Pillows<\/strong><\/h3>\n
<\/figure>\n

As for pillows, everyone\u2019s preference varies, and there\u2019s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all. For that reason, we\u2019ll require a bit of effort when it comes to pinning the right one.<\/p>\n

1. The Fill<\/strong><\/p>\n

Microfiber<\/em><\/p>\n

Microfiber is the cheapest of all, hypoallergenic, and comes in a range of heights and firmness levels, making it suitable for all sleeping positions. But they\u2019re not very breathable and retain moisture. In other words, you could wake up in hot sweat\u200a\u2014\u200aa nightmare, especially in the Philippines.<\/p>\n

Feather & Down<\/em><\/p>\n

We often see pillow fights in movies ending with flying feathers everywhere. While the mess alone is an OMG, what\u2019s even more astonishing is that this kind of pillow is on the higher end. Unrivaled in terms of comfort, is softer, mouldable, and longer-lasting; although it\u2019s not particularly the best choice for side sleepers (as they require height) and those with allergies.<\/p>\n

Memory Foam<\/em><\/p>\n

This one is for all the neck pain sufferers out there. It molds the shape of your neck and shoulders, offering strong support to back and side sleepers. They\u2019re also more durable, long-lasting, and easy to care for. Just one problem: they can feel quite rigid and get very hot due to limited airflow.<\/p>\n

Wool<\/em><\/p>\n

Great news for those who suffer from allergies, wool pillows are eco-friendly and naturally hypoallergenic. Not only do they keep dust mites at bay, but they are also great at regulating body temperature while absorbing moisture. The downside is that they can feel heavy, flattens quickly, and can smell a little.<\/p>\n

2. Sleeping positions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now that you know which type of fillers you want, think about your sleeping positions. Different positions require different heights and thicknesses, and here\u2019s what you should be looking for.<\/p>\n

Back sleepers<\/em><\/p>\n
