You spend 1/3 of your life in bed, so your sleep experience matters.
The feel of the bed, the air you breath, and the light you bring into our bedroom all have an effect on your sleep experience.
Editor’s Note
A few years ago I moved to New York City from Seattle. A native of the northwest, I never realized how much I had taken the clean pacific air and cool nights for granted until my first few nights in the new city left me feeling stuffy and hazy in the morning.
It was through the search for an air purifier that I began to think about the bedroom as a holistic environment, and understand what optimizing it for sleep really meant.
If better rest at night can lead to better days, why not focus on making the bedroom the best environment it can be for your sleep? This change in thinking prompted me to begin Sleep Surroundings.There are a lot of mattress review sites, and a few academic sites that publish research about sleep health, but rarely are they used to inform each-other. My mission with Sleep Surroundings is, and has always been, to make research backed information about sleep health accessible and actionable, and to review and recommend only the best designed and tested products to improve your sleep experience.
