With the arrival of cold weather, many people begin to feel the need to sleep better in winter. The temperature drops, the body takes longer to warm up, and the feeling of discomfort directly affects sleep quality.

To help you enjoy more peaceful nights at this time of year, we have put together five essential tips for better sleep in winter, including the best temperature for sleeping, the best way to sleep, and suggestions for keeping your bedroom comfortable, for both adults and babies.

1. Set the ideal temperature for sleeping

The temperature of your bedroom is crucial for a good night's sleep. For most adults, the best temperature for sleeping in winter is between 64°F and 68°F. A bedroom that is too cold forces the body to expend more energy to regulate its internal temperature, delaying sleep and reducing overall sleep quality.

Ideal temperature for your baby to sleep

If you have a baby at home, these recommendations become even more important. Babies are more sensitive to cold and temperature changes.

The ideal temperature for a baby's room is between 19ºC and 21ºC, ensuring a cozy, safe, and draft-free environment.

Quick tips for keeping your baby's room warm in winter:

• Use light but warm bedding;
• Avoid heaters that are too close;
• Ensure that the crib is away from windows and doors;
• Choose natural, breathable materials.

Creating a stable and comfortable environment helps both adults and babies fall asleep more quickly and maintain continuous, restful sleep.

2. Reinforce your bedding and invest in thermal layers

In winter, sleeping warmly does not depend solely on the temperature of the room. Layers of bedding play a key role.

Choose materials that naturally retain body heat, such as:

• Thermal-filled comforters;
• Lightweight and highly efficient fleece blankets;
• Flannel sheets;
• Mattress cover with thermoregulatory technology.

Creating multiple layers allows you to easily adjust your thermal comfort throughout the night, preventing you from waking up feeling too cold or too hot.

For this season, we highlight the Percal Comforter, whose softness and cotton fiber offer excellent thermal regulation.

3. Establish a routine and stick to the ideal bedtime

In winter, the days are shorter and it is common to feel more sleepy. Take advantage of this predisposition and create a consistent rest routine.

The ideal time to sleep varies from person to person, but the most important thing is to maintain regular hours.

Before going to bed, avoid:

• Screens and blue light (ideally 1 hour before).
• Stimulating activities or heavy meals.

And prioritize:

• Light reading.
• A relaxing hot bath.
• A calm environment and low light.

Regularity helps the body enter deep sleep cycles more easily.

4. Discover the best way to sleep in winter

The best way to sleep in winter is on your side, as this position helps your body retain heat and promotes breathing. A comfortable, cozy comforter with good thermal capacity further enhances comfort.

Sleeping on your back is also beneficial, as long as your torso is well protected.

Avoid sleeping in a curled-up position: in addition to damaging your posture, it can cause back and shoulder pain.

If you find the mattress cold or too firm, a topper or mattress pad can improve comfort and increase heat retention.

5. Choose the right mattress and box spring for greater thermal comfort

The mattress is the key element for quality rest—especially in winter. Materials such as high-density foam help retain body heat, providing uniform comfort throughout the night.

A good mattress:

• Keeps the body aligned;
• Avoids pressure points;
• Provides a balanced thermal sensation;
• Helps you sleep better every night.

If you are looking to improve your rest during the winter, investing in the right mattress is one of the most important steps. Explore our Nature Prime Deluxe Mattress, a perfect combination of comfort and technology. Composed of a layer of high-density foam, it ensures that your body stays aligned during rest, for a deep night's sleep.

The box spring also influences thermal comfort.

Many people don't know this, but the box spring also influences thermal comfort.
A quality box spring improves insulation, reduces the passage of cold through the bed base, and increases the durability of the mattress.

Applying these 5 tips for better sleep in winter will transform your nights: controlling the temperature of your bedroom, adding extra layers to your bedding, maintaining a stable routine, adopting the best sleeping position, and investing in the right mattress are essential steps to ensure comfort and well-being.

Whether it's for you or your baby, maintaining the ideal sleeping temperature is key to waking up feeling energized—even on the coldest days.
