Bedding from schlafgut

As the saying goes: as you make your bed, so you lie in it. This is especially true for the sleeping place, where one spends about a third of their lifetime. But this is by no means sleepy time, but rather the time needed to regenerate, recover, and relax. This underestimated importance of sleep makes the choice of the right bed and bedding so crucial. If you are sleep deprived, have trouble falling asleep, or keep waking up, you cannot face the challenges of everyday life in your best form.

In addition to the right sleeping conditions, such as a pleasant temperature and minimal light in the bedroom, particular attention should be paid to the proper bedding for a restful sleep, including:

• A suitable mattress,
• An optimally fitting fitted sheet (without creases),
• A supportive pillow, and
• Bedspreads and bedding adapted to the season.

As the inventor of practical fitted sheets, the brand Schlafgut stands for expertise and competence in perfect sleeping comfort. The high-quality Schlafgut fitted sheets, equipped with a practical elastic band, have several decisive advantages over ordinary sheets. The wrinkle-free fitted sheets can be easily fitted onto the mattress in a few simple steps and, thanks to the optimal fit, ensure perfect sleeping comfort. However, it is particularly important to pay attention to the correct size when purchasing bedding to prevent anything from slipping or annoying wrinkles forming for restless sleepers. Also, it is important to consider the height of the mattress, as most fitted sheets are designed for a standardized height of about 18 to 24 cm.

The wide selection of fitted sheets and other bedding in our Schlafgut online shop leaves nothing to be desired, allowing for individual customization to meet personal sleeping needs. In terms of color, one can choose from up to 50 different shades, creating a harmonious backdrop for other bedding items. When it comes to material, it's best to follow personal preferences. Organic cotton impresses as a true all-rounder with high standards of quality and ecological compatibility, while cooling satin provides a delightful freshness effect on the skin, especially in summer. For those preferring warmth, tightly woven cotton (jersey) or cozy terry cloth for the fitted sheet are ideal choices.

For waking up refreshed and full of energy every morning, one must carefully examine the sleeping position and the bedding responsible for it. Prolonged lying down presents a major challenge, especially for the sensitive cervical spine. If the pillow does not adequately support the head and does not precisely follow the course of the spine, uncomfortable tension in the neck and shoulder area, annoying headaches, or even spinal problems can be the consequence. The ideal pillow allows for a comfortable head rest, with the shoulders resting on the bed.

Opinions differ regarding the perfect pillow size. Many sleepers are accustomed to their beloved large pillows, generously sized at 80x80 cm, and would not want to miss them. However, one must confront the issue that in many cases, the shoulders also rest on the pillow. Experts therefore recommend an ergonomically shaped pillow measuring 40x80 cm. These are particularly flexible in practical use and provide equally relieving support on the soft fitted sheet for side, back, and stomach sleepers. To cater to every preference, Schlafgut pillowcases are available in several sizes:

• 40x40 cm
• 40x80 cm
• 40x60 cm
• 80x80 cm

The materials used to make high-quality pillows are as varied as the needs of Schlafgut customers. Among the most popular filling materials are down and synthetic fibers. Down, mixed with feathers, not only provides soft sleeping comfort but is also ideal for those looking for a rather firm and durable pillow. However, pillows filled with down can develop quite a bit of warmth in the cozy bed. Therefore, they are less suitable for sleepers who sweat a lot. Fiber pillows, on the other hand, have excellent moisture wicking properties, are particularly shape-retaining, and are also the right choice for allergy sufferers due to their hypoallergenic properties. House dust mites cannot settle in them, thus preventing allergens from coming into close proximity to the airways.

Now that the home bed is covered with a soft fitted sheet and the right pillow is found, it is time to deal with the bedspreads.

Schlafgut bedspreads are meticulously designed down to the last detail, divided into individual chambers fixed by flexible seams. Most duvets have the typical box shape, which not only serves to securely stabilize the filling but also prevents cold spots. Depending on how the inner seams of the duvet run, one can also influence the type of thermal insulation. For example, summer duvets feature circular or diamond-shaped quilting patterns where the two fabric panels are sewn together, creating a particularly pleasant sleeping climate.

The first decision concerns the heat category and optimizes the interplay between personal temperature sensitivity and the external conditions in the bedroom. Schlafgut bedspreads offer a choice between winter duvets, summer duvets, and so-called "four-season" duvets, perfect for transitional seasons as well. All duvets are enveloped in a silky soft cotton cover and delivered in practical carrying and storage bags, making storage particularly easy when the duvet is not in use.

Next, one must decide on the filling material. In addition to the high-quality blend of down and feathers or pure down, which entails a higher investment in one's own bed comfort, one can also opt for high-tech fibers. While the former promise special protection and a high cuddle factor due to their higher weight, duvets with synthetic fibers are suitable for allergy sufferers.

The third parameter in selecting the right duvet for the home bed is the size. While some are satisfied with 135 x 200 cm, other solo sleepers may indulge in the luxury of a 155 x 220 cm duvet. This option is also suitable for tall sleepers who appreciate every additional centimeter of duvet. The generous 200 x 200 cm duvets are perfect for couples.
