Sleeping should be easy, right? Well, for many people it isn’t. There may not be any single reason. It’s probably more a combination of factors. Of course, choosing the right mattress is essential, but a good sleep story doesn’t end there.
Mattress Covers
Once you find the perfect mattress, you will want to protect it from spills, stains and dust mites. A liquid-proof barrier keeps the mattress dry and clean. The Malouf mattress protectors have the smooth feel of a fitted sheet, an added plus for the bed of your dreams. Mattress protectors are so important that the warranty on many mattresses will be voided if you don’t use a protector.
Pillows
Fun fact: a pillow is 30% of your sleep experience. You don’t have to be into statistics to be a pillow believer. Just keep a few ideas in mind:
Malouf ActiveDough™ Memory Foam pillows are the ideal mix of the quick-response feel of latex and the contouring of memory foam. If you’re a not too firm, not too soft pillow person, this may be the right pillow for you.
For a firmer pillow that can cradle your head and neck, check out the Dough™ Memory Foam. It’s a favorite among many sleepers, but you be the judge.
“There’s more,” as they saying goes! Talalay Latex is airy and buoyant. And who doesn’t like that? It’s made from renewable resources and is naturally supportive for optimal comfort. You can find the right level of support from several loft options.
Now that you know you have choices, how do you decide which is best for you? First, your pillow should properly align your spine. This means side sleepers benefit from firmer pillows, stomach sleepers from softer pillows, back sleepers from medium-firm and universal sleepers from soft, versatile pillows. The best thing about pillows? There is no one single pillow that’s right for everyone. You deserve the one that is designed for your individual sleep style and preference.
Sheets
Sateen weave is made from the mercerized (yes, there is such a thing ,^and it’s a good thing!) fibers of a cotton plant, and woven in a satin weave. What does that mean? Multiple threads of the same direction dominate. Sateen has a shiny, draped look. Malouf Botanical Tencel Lyocell Sheets and the brand’s Natural Supima Sheets have that sateen weave.
Percale sheets feel crisp and get softer every time you wash them. They have a weave of fabric with a simple crisscross pattern, as can be seen in the Malouf Soft Knit Brushed Microfiber and Linen-Weave Cotton sheets.
A pattern of diagonal parallel ribs distinguish twill weave sheets, which are known for their durability.
Pillows, sheets and mattress covers….you owe yourself the best, for your dreamiest good sleep ever.
