It is difficult for some to go to sleep at night under the high temperatures during the summer. Experts considered that this can be faced by choosing bed linen made of suitable materials that allow for a comfortable and comfortable sleep.
The German sleep doctor, Hans Christian Bloom, explained that the best bedroom temperature is 16-18 ° C. Although it looks relatively cool, the body regulates the temperature during sleep.
Usually high temperatures negatively affect deep sleep, and make one wake up a lot, as high humidity with high temperatures causes sweat stains to appear on the bed, but with the use of well-ventilated textiles and bedspreads, a good sleep can be enjoyed during the summer.
For his part, Mark Bohl, president of the German Association for Bedding and Furniture Stores, said: “Light textures that drain moisture outwards are among the materials suitable for bed linens and bedding. The lighter the textures, the better.”
Mark Bohl advises relying on textiles made of cotton and linen, and explained this by saying: "Cotton textiles are characterized by absorbing moisture well, and linen has a cool effect on the skin, so clothing made of linen is often worn in hot tropical regions."
Cotton linens and bedspreads have high air permeability.
Mark Buhl recommended relying on light Seersucker cotton fabric, as opposed to thick upholstery made of flannel, jersey or microfiber, which is not suitable for hot summer nights, and the satin is more dense than other textiles.
Similar to cotton textiles, there are differences between textiles made from kenaf.
"In the inexpensive types of these textiles, the waveform is created in a chemical way," said expert Mark Bohl.
The wave shape weakens with each wash, but with good types of these textures the wave is created during the weaving process, and therefore the German expert advises against purchasing the packed textiles without checking their texture, and if necessary, a request to open the packaging should be requested before purchasing.
Bed linen must be washed regularly during the summer to enjoy a refreshing feeling.
For his part, recommends Bernd Glasil, the German Association for products for washing and body care, saying: «You must change the bed linen in normal conditions every two weeks, but it is better to change them every week when sweating profusely. Bed linens and linens should be washed at least 40 ° C.
The higher the temperature, the less the covers one uses during sleep, and there are some people who use the duvet cover or without using any covers at all.
Marc Bohl recommends using light summer covers; Because it is better than just using a duvet cover; Because temperatures can drop in the morning, even in the summer. In addition to the covers absorbing moisture, according to Buhl, who indicated that "camel lint can absorb one third of its weight from moisture, without showing traces of moisture." Light types are available from almost all covers, and it is best to use a quilt with a filling weight of 140 grams.
Light covers
German expert Mark Bohl recommends using light sheeting with camel, cashmere or linen filling. Wild silk textiles are ideal for allergy sufferers. Basically, one suffices using a combination of appropriate linens and summer blankets to enjoy a good night's sleep.
Mark Pohl:
“Cotton textiles feature moisture absorption, and linen has a cooling effect on the skin.”
