How to Create a Better Sleep Environment

Humidity: Ideal bedroom humidity is 40–60%. Too dry causes irritated airways; too humid encourages dust mites. A mid-size humidifier solves most dry-air issues.
Thread count: 200–400 thread count is the sweet spot for most sleepers. Higher counts can trap heat; material matters more than number.
Pillow loft: Side sleepers need high loft; back sleepers need medium; stomach sleepers do best with low loft. Wrong loft causes neck pain over time.
Pillow material: Memory foam contours to your head but retains heat. Down is softer and cooler but compresses. Latex is durable and breathable.
Wash frequency: Sheets should be washed weekly; pillows every 3–6 months. Check care labels before buying — machine-washable is a must for most households.
