HOW TO CREATE A HEALTHIER SLEEP ENVIRONMENT: 5 ESSENTIAL DETAILS
We often hear that we need enough sleep – ideally, around 8 hours a night. Yet sleep is not only about duration. The conditions in which you rest matter just as much: whether your body receives proper support, your skin touches safe fabrics, and your sleep foundation stays clean and protected. When these details work together, the bed becomes more than a place to sleep. It becomes a space where it is easier to relax, with fewer worries.
A mattress designed for your body
The mattress is the foundation of healthy sleep. It influences how your body rests at night: whether your spine remains in the correct position, whether your shoulders, hips, and back receive the support they need, and whether your muscles can relax without additional tension.
There is no single mattress that suits everyone, so before choosing one, we recommend considering the following:
- whether you prefer a firmer or softer sleep surface;
- the position you usually sleep in;
- your body weight;
- which mattress feels best after lying on it for a longer time;
- whether you tend to sweat, feel cold, or are sensitive to allergens at night.
You can also take the LONAS mattress test. After answering these questions, you will receive a mattress recommendation. However, before making a purchase, we always invite you to try the mattress in person and speak with our comfort experts at your nearest LONAS showroom.
Another important detail is the mattress composition. LONAS mattresses are made using breathable, safe, and Oeko-Tex® certified materials, suitable even for babies. This allows you to rest more peacefully, knowing that the product closest to your body is tested, reliable, and created for everyday rest.
To help your sleep foundation stay clean, fresh, and comfortable for as long as possible, it is worth protecting it from the very first night. A waterproof mattress protector helps protect the mattress from moisture, stains, and everyday surprises, allowing it to remain pleasant to use for longer.
A mattress protector for everyday surprises
A mattress is a long-term investment in rest, so it is worth protecting it from everyday wear. A mattress protector helps maintain cleanliness and protects against moisture, stains, and everyday surprises.
It is especially useful for families with children, pet owners, or those who simply enjoy slow weekend mornings with coffee and breakfast in bed. A protector helps extend the life of your mattress or topper, while you can rest more peacefully knowing that your sleep foundation is protected.
If you want to keep your mattress cleaner and protect it from everyday dirt, SEKA or UPĖ is a good choice. If protection against liquids is your main priority, choose the waterproof JŪRA.
LONAS mattress protectors are conveniently secured with elastic straps or fitted like a fitted sheet, so they stay in place and do not disturb your sleep. They are also made using Oeko-Tex® certified materials.
A pillow that supports neck alignment
Even the right mattress cannot do all the work if your head and neck are in an uncomfortable position. A pillow helps maintain the natural alignment of the head, neck, and shoulders, making it an important part of the entire sleep system.
When choosing a pillow, it is important to consider your sleeping position, shoulder width, mattress firmness, and the kind of feeling you want at night. Side sleepers usually need a higher pillow that provides more support. Back sleepers are best suited to a medium-height pillow that helps maintain the natural position of the neck. Stomach sleepers should choose a lower pillow, so the neck is not raised too high.
Orthopaedic pillows help support the correct position of the head, neck, and shoulders. They adapt to the body and provide more stable support throughout the night.
Down pillows surround you with natural softness, retain warmth well, remove excess moisture, and help create a pleasant sleep microclimate.
Both down and orthopaedic pillows are breathable and help moisture that builds up during the night evaporate. However, it is also important to choose the pillowcase responsibly. Synthetic fabrics can reduce breathability, while natural fabrics – such as cotton satin or Mulberry silk – contribute to an even fresher feeling. Silk also has cooling properties.
A duvet that helps prevent overheating and feeling too cold
Restful sleep is closely linked to maintaining the right body temperature. If you feel too hot or too cold at night, your body is more likely to wake up, and your sleep becomes less deep. A well-chosen duvet helps maintain a pleasant feeling of warmth throughout the night.
In the LONAS duvet range, you can find options designed for different seasons and sleeping habits – from light summer duvets to warmer, more enveloping ones. In winter, when you want more warmth and a pleasant sense of weight, choose SOLID. If you prefer lightness and fluffiness during the colder season, DESIRE or ALPAKA will be a good choice. For summer, when a fresher feeling matters most, we recommend VASARA or LINAS. And if you want one duvet for all seasons, it is worth choosing more versatile models, such as DESIRE LIGHT, SILK, LYOCELL, or NORDIC duvets.
Our range includes natural down and wool duvets, as well as duvets made from plant-based fibres – linen, cotton, and lyocell – and synthetic duvets suitable for people who are highly sensitive to allergens.
Even a well-chosen duvet may not provide maximum comfort if it is placed inside synthetic bedding. Bedding is the layer between the body and the duvet, so it affects how quickly you feel warmth, whether the fabric clings to the skin, and whether the body can rest without unpleasant sweating at night. Natural bedding allows you to better experience the qualities of the duvet and maintain pleasant contact with the skin throughout the night.
Bed linen closest to your skin
Bed linen touches your skin every night, so its composition is just as important as its softness or design. Natural fabrics allow the skin to breathe, absorb moisture better, and help maintain a pleasant microclimate during sleep.
One of the most versatile choices is cotton satin bed linen. It is woven from 100% cotton, making it natural, soft, and pleasant against the skin. When choosing bed linen, it is worth avoiding synthetic blends, such as polyester. These fabrics are often less breathable, absorb moisture less effectively, and may begin to pill over time.
Mulberry silk is also known and valued worldwide for its lightness, breathability, moisture-absorbing properties, and softness. It is especially beneficial for facial skin and hair. Thanks to its exceptionally smooth surface, silk reduces friction, so the skin is less irritated during sleep, while hair becomes less tangled, less frizzy, and smoother.
All LONAS bed linen is made using Oeko-Tex® certified materials. This certification confirms that the fabrics have been tested for harmful substances, including allergens, formaldehydes, heavy metals, and prohibited pesticides. This makes the bed linen safe for the skin and suitable even for babies.
Bed linen made from natural materials helps maintain a pleasant microclimate when the bedding placed inside it is also chosen according to your body’s needs and the season.
Each layer has its own role. Yet the greatest difference is felt when they are chosen according to your body, sleeping habits, and everyday life.
If you want to choose with greater confidence, LONAS comfort experts will help you match your mattress, pillow, bed linen, duvet, and mattress protection to your individual needs.
