In this bedding guide, we will understand the importance of bedding during winters and understand how simple bedding upgrades can help create a cozy sleep environment that helps promote uninterrupted and deep slumber.

Winter Wellness: Why Sleep is Your Immune System’s Best Friend

Sleep is fundamental to staying healthy during the colder months.

Immunity Boost

When we sleep, our body produces and releases essential infection-fighting cells, including cytokines. Poor sleep weakens the immune system, making us more susceptible to seasonal illnesses and colds.

Mood & Energy

The early darkness of winter affects our mood and is often linked to Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD. Quality sleep is essential for counteracting fatigue and maintaining the energy needed to stay focused and productive during the day.

Battling the Cold and Trapped Heat

On chilly nights, we often use too many non-breathable layers to get maximum warmth, such as heavy fleece, which causes clamminess and overheating, leading to fragmented sleep. Hence, it is important to use bedding that is breathable and warm, offering the perfect winter comfort.

Puredown Picks

Made in Germany 800 Fill Power European White Down Comforter

The European Down Comforter set is perfect for the cold winter months. It features DOWNPASS certified 800 fill power 90% white goose down encased in a breathable cotton cover, providing an extra layer of warmth without overheating. The luxurious down fill offers excellent body temperature regulation, while the breathable fabric cover allows your skin to breathe for a restful night’s sleep experience.

Organic Cotton Puff Down Comforter

This organic bedding is the best comforter for all seasons and is an excellent choice for the winter season. Combining the natural insulation properties of RDS certified 700 fill power 90% white down with the soft and hypoallergenic organic cotton comforter cover, this down duvet insert offers optimal warmth, promoting better sleep quality.

Achieving Deep Comfort

As winter approaches, cold air can seep into the mattress, and old pillows don’t properly support the body’s natural tendency to curl up to stay warm.

Pillow Support

Your body often adopts the fetal position as the temperature drops. This requires a medium-firm, supportive pillow to maintain neck alignment, especially for side sleepers.

Puredown Pick: Made in Germany European Down Pillow

This European pillow features a pillow in pillow design, with a core of 100% goose feathers and an outer chamber filled with 90% down. It is encased in a 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton cover, making this medium density pillow perfect for side and back sleepers, offering restful sleep.

Bottom-Up Warmth

A mattress topper is a winter bedding product that offers a thick and additional layer of plushness between the sleeper and the cold mattress, enhancing the overall cozy cocoon effect and extra warmth.

Puredown Pick: Organic Cotton Down Feather Memory Foam Mattress Topper

This hybrid mattress topper features a removable cover made with 100% organic cotton and filled with natural down and feather fiber, while the inner core is that of CertiPUR-US® certified Memory Foam, blending supportive foam with plush down, offering a comfortable sleep environment during the colder weather.

The Cozy Factor

Your room needs to feel inviting to promote relaxation and the “wind-down” process in colder temperatures. Introduce sensory layers:

The Bed Sheets

Switching to warmer textures. Our Organic Cotton Sheet Set, made with 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton fabric, is perfect as a soft, moisture wicking, and breathable sleep surface.

The Throw

A chunky knit throw blanket or lightweight cotton blanket draped over the foot of the bed adds visual warmth, cozy winter textures, and is a perfect accessory for quick snuggling. We recommend using the Organic Cotton Waffle Blanket, made with 50% organic cotton and 50% rayon, 380 GSM.

The Color Palette

Use a warm and earthy color palette in your winter bedding set to create a visually cozy atmosphere.
