How to Sleep Better Naturally - 10 Surprising Sleep Facts for a Healthier Mind and Sleep Space

by Lisa Levi October 23, 2024

We all know sleep is important, but did you know that how and where you sleep can be just as important as the number of hours you get? At Pure Zone, we believe your bedroom should be a calming, natural haven that helps you wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day. With the right mix of natural materials, breathable bedding, and low-tox living, you can create a sleep space that boosts your health and your mood.

Ready to up your sleep game? Here are 10 surprising sleep facts that’ll help you turn your bedroom into the ultimate restful retreat.

A NATURAL SLEEP SPACE BOOSTS YOUR MIND

Your bedroom environment plays a key role in achieving a calm, restful mind at night. Natural materials like our Organic Cotton and Bamboo bedlinen, keep your sleep space free from toxins and allergens. All of our Organic Bamboo and Cotton Fabric has been awarded the Standard 100 Certification, meaning it has been tested by OEKO-TEX for harmful substances. Studies show toxin-free, breathable fabrics support better mental clarity and emotional wellbeing, helping you sleep soundly and wake up feeling more refreshed.

BREATHABLE BEDDING IS ESSENTIAL FOR DEEP SLEEP

Organic Bamboo fabric is an ideal choice for those who struggle to stay cool at night. Breathable and moisture-wicking, it helps regulate body temperature by allowing air to flow naturally, preventing overheating and night sweats. The more comfortable you are, the more likely you are to slip into the deep sleep stages necessary for physical recovery and mental rejuvenation.

YOUR BODY HEALS BEST IN A TOXIN-FREE ENVIRONMENT 

During deep sleep, your body is hard at work repairing cells, tissues, and even your immune system. Here at Pure Zone, we’re passionate about creating bedlinen that helps that process. The health benefits of our Organic Bamboo Bedlinens are multiplied in our brand new fabrication of Plant Dyed Organic Bamboo Silk Sheets and Quilt Cover Sets. Their hypoallergenic and antimicrobial properties support this healing process by keeping allergens and irritants at bay. A toxin-free environment allows your body to focus on recovery without interruption.

NATURAL BEDDING CAN HELP YOU FALL ASLEEP FASTER

Did you know that the materials your bedding is made from can affect how quickly you fall asleep? Synthetic fabrics can trap heat and cause discomfort, making it harder to drift off. In contrast, breathable Bamboo bedlinen provides a cool, soft surface that not only is gentle on your skin but encourages relaxation, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

YOUR SLEEP ENVIRONMENT IMPACTS CREATIVITY AND PROBLEM-SOLVING

A good night’s sleep doesn’t just help you feel rested; research shows it also enhances creativity and cognitive function. Creating a natural, toxin-free sleep space with Organic and natural bedlinen allows your mind to recharge fully, unlocking your creative potential by morning.

A COOL, NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AIDS SLEEP REGULATION

Sleep quality is heavily influenced by temperature. A cooler room; around 19°C -21°C, is ideal for restful sleep. Natural, organic fabric like Bamboo, works in harmony with your body’s temperature regulation, helping to maintain that optimal temperature by keeping you cool in Summer and warm in Winter. 

THE RIGHT PILLOW SUPPORTS YOUR NECK - AND YOUR SLEEP

Neck pain is a common disruptor of sleep, and the wrong pillow can make things worse, particularly if you’re a side sleeper. An ergonomic pillow, such as our new Side Sleeper Pillow, is designed to support your neck and spine naturally. Our Side Sleeper Pillow was designed with two-way air ventilation to ensure regular airflow and temperature regulation, keeping you cool, comfortable and pain-free after a restful night sleep.

MELATONIN LOVES A NATURAL SLEEP ENVIRONMENT 

Melatonin, the hormone that controls your sleep-wake cycle, is best produced in a natural, toxin-free environment. A room filled with natural light during the day and free of harmful chemicals at night will help your body produce melatonin efficiently, ensuring you drift into sleep naturally. Pure Zone’s Organic bedlinen range can help create this perfect, hormone-friendly space.

YOUR SKIN BENEFITS FROM BAMBOO BEDDING

“Beauty sleep” isn’t just a phrase! Skin cells do their hard work regenerating while you sleep during the night. We love Bamboo fabric for the skin, particularly for those with sensitive skin or allergies. Bamboo fabrics’s moisture-wicking properties prevent irritation and breakouts by keeping your skin dry and cool. Unlike synthetic materials, which can trap sweat and oils, Bamboo allows your skin to breathe, ensuring you wake up with a healthy glow.

YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM RELIES ON RESTORATIVE SLEEP

A healthy immune system starts with restorative sleep. Bamboo bedlinen, with its antimicrobial and hypoallergenic properties, ensures your bed remains free from dust mites and allergens, allowing you to sleep in a clean, breathable environment. This protection supports your immune system, so you can fight off illness faster and wake up feeling rejuvenated.

At Pure Zone, we believe that a “Pure Zone” is more than just a place to sleep — it’s a healthier, happier home. By choosing bedlinen that aligns with your health values, you’re investing in a low-tox lifestyle that benefits both your health and your sleep quality. With over four decades of innovation and commitment to natural textiles, our family-run business has been helping families like yours create their own Pure Zone, because better sleep leads to a healthier you.
