The importance of sleeping position and bed linen

The way you sleep can be just as decisive for the quality of your rest as the number of hours you spend in bed. The position you fall asleep in affects your posture, breathing, and even how your body recovers throughout the night. And of course, the environment and the fabrics that surround you make all the difference.
We believe that a good night’s sleep begins with the right touch. Soft, breathable bed sheets carefully crafted from natural fibres help your body relax and maintain a balanced temperature, promoting deep and continuous rest.

Sleeping on your back: pros and cons

Sleeping on your back is, for many, one of the most balanced positions. It allows your head, neck, and spine to remain aligned, reducing pressure and muscle pain. This posture also helps prevent wrinkles and facial marks since there’s less direct contact with the pillow.
However, it’s not ideal for everyone. For people who tend to snore or suffer from sleep apnea, this position can make the problem worse. The secret is balance: a pillow that properly supports the neck and, if possible, a small cushion under the knees helps maintain the spine’s natural curve and improve comfort.

Sleeping on your side: best for your spine and circulation

Sleeping on your side is considered by many specialists to be the healthiest position. It keeps the spine well aligned, reduces the risk of back pain, and promotes blood circulation.
Sleeping on the left side, in particular, improves digestion and reduces reflux, making it the most recommended position during pregnancy. The right side, on the other hand, can help reduce night awakenings.
Ideally, use a medium-height pillow that keeps your neck aligned and another between your knees to avoid hip torsion. This way, your body rests naturally and evenly, encouraging deeper and more restorative sleep.

How your sleeping position influences rest

Your body’s position determines the level of muscle relaxation and the quality of deep sleep. When posture is incorrect, the body tends to wake up several times during the night to readjust, even if you don’t notice.
Positions that compress the chest or excessively curve the spine make breathing difficult and reduce oxygen flow. In contrast, sleeping aligned and comfortably supports continuous, restorative sleep cycles, allowing you to wake up feeling light, energised, and well.

Tips to improve your sleeping position

• Invest in supportive pillows. A pillow between your knees when sleeping on your side, or under your knees when lying on your back, helps relieve pressure on the lower back.
• Choose the right mattress.A mattress that’s too firm or too soft can compromise spinal alignment. The ideal one adapts to your body without losing firmness.
• Give yourself time to adjust.If you plan to change your position, do it gradually, helping your body adapt over time.
• Create a comfortable environment.Breathable sheets and natural fabrics, such as cotton and linen, regulate temperature and provide a light, pleasant sensation that encourages relaxation.
