Almost one in four people in Germany suffers from sleep problems, which has several disadvantages. People who don’t get enough sleep run the risk of causing accidents in traffic or at work. These people are also more susceptible to high blood pressure and obesity and suffer from headaches. However, by optimizing your own bedroom, it is possible to increase the quality of your sleep.
When it comes to getting high-quality sleep, you should, on the one hand, adhere to the typical rules of sleep hygiene, such as no longer drinking caffeine before going to bed or getting into the habit of regular bedtimes. In addition, optimizing the space in the bedroom can also help you get a more restful sleep. When planning it, it’s best to start where you sleep, that is, with a comfortable solid wood bed; After all, it is not for nothing that it is said that you sleep the way you go to bed. Such beds can be found, for example, at Möbel-Eins, a furniture store that offers a wide selection of furniture for everyone. In addition to beds, the store also offers a variety of other furniture pieces such as wardrobes, bedside tables and chests of drawers, perfectly designed to transform any bedroom into an oasis of peace and relaxation.
Why solid wood beds promote healthy sleep
An important factor that contributes to sleeping well in a solid wood bed is the fact that it is extremely stable and is a natural material. This gives you a firm grip and also eliminates squeaking noises. In addition, the naturalness of the material itself brings relaxation into the room and also ensures climate regulation in the room. Last but not least: Pretty much all slatted frames and mattresses can be used with solid wood beds.

How to choose the right solid wood bed
When buying a solid wood bed, you should be aware that there are different materials, each with their own properties. A solid wood bed made of walnut has a different color and grain than one made of pine. In addition, each material has a different hardness; A solid wood bed made of oak, for example, is very hard, while one made of spruce, for example, is rather soft. The softer a bed, the more susceptible it is to scratches, for example.
Other factors for optimizing the bedroom
For a good night’s sleep, it is important that the bedroom is dark and quiet. In addition, for most people the temperature should be between 17 and 20 degrees Celsius. The first two factors can be implemented with the help of roller shutters or dark curtains, which are ideally able to dampen noise. Cooling down the temperature can be managed by ventilating the room again before going to bed, which is recommended anyway because of the better air in the bedroom.
It’s best to ban devices that disrupt sleep – such as televisions or cell phones – from the bedroom. You should also avoid objects or pictures that tend to radiate unrest and replace them with those that promote relaxation, such as a poster of a calm natural landscape or a stylish vase in a calming color, as is the case with green.
Conclusion
If you want a restful sleep, you should also make sure that the bedroom furnishings have a calming effect. This can be achieved, for example, with a solid wood bed and matching curtains. If you then avoid disruptive elements, you create advantageous conditions for a good night.
