The comfort level of a bed is determined by a variety of factors, including the materials used to make the bed, the quality of the mattress, the mattress topper, the bed frame, the bedding and even the body pillows you have on the bed.
Beds are typically made with a combination of wood, metal, fabric, foam, batting and latex. Wood frames provide a solid base, while metal frames add more support. The mattress is usually made of foam, latex or cotton, and the quality of the mattress plays a big role in how comfortable it feels.
Mattress toppers are additional layers of foam, fiber or latex that add extra cushion and support. Bed frames and bedding can also add to the overall comfort level when they are made from soft, breathable materials.
Some people also enjoy the comfort of body pillows and mattress enhancers like egg-crate foam to help cradle the back and hips. Ultimately, the combination of all these elements will determine how comfortable your bed is and how well you’ll sleep in it.
Why do I always want to be in my bed?
It could be that you feel most safe and secure in your bed. For many people, our beds act as a sort of cocoon, a cozy and comfortable environment where we can shut out the world and just relax. Being in bed can be a form of self-care, a way to soothe and restore ourselves after a stressful day.
Additionally, the body’s natural rhythm is to become sleepy and drowsy in the evening and so staying in bed can be a natural way to honor that rhythm. Also, your body releases hormones as you settle into bed that promote relaxation and sleepiness, making you even more inclined to want to stay in bed.
Lastly, sometimes we just want to be in our beds because it a place where we can be with ourselves and one that can offer emotional comfort.
