What Type of Sleeper Are You?
Hot Sleeper
You often overheat, kick off the covers or wake feeling too warm.
Top Tips:
- Choose breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, wool or silk to help your body regulate temperature
- Opt for a lower tog duvet to help prevent overheating in bed
- Avoid memory foam mattresses or pillows where possible, as these tend to retain heat
- Look for cooling, moisture-wicking pillows or mattress toppers designed for temperature control
Cold Sleeper
You frequently wake feeling chilly, or prefer extra layers.
Top Tips:
- Go for duvets with a 10.5 tog or higher for extra warmth
- Choose natural fibres such as wool, silk or brushed cotton, which gently trap heat
- Layer your bedding to easily adjust warmth throughout the night
- Add a wool or fleece mattress topper for extra insulation and comfort
Allergy-Sensitive Sleeper
You experience night-time congestion, sneezing or irritation.
Top Tips:
- Choose anti-allergen or synthetic bedding that's washable, breathable and helps minimise allergen build-up
- Wash bedding regularly to help remove dust mites and other irritants
- Use mattress and pillow protectors to help create a barrier between them and your skin
- Try using an air purifier in your bedroom
Restless or Light Sleeper
You wake easily, toss and turn or find it difficult to stay asleep.
Top Tips:
- Maintain a consistent bedtime to help regulate your sleep rhythm
- Wind down with a calming routine such as meditation, skincare or lighting calming scents
- Try a weighted blanket to support a deeper sense of calm and help minimise nighttime movement
Sleep Position-Based Sleeper
Your comfort depends on whether you sleep on your side, back, stomach or a combination.
Top Tips:
For Side Sleepers:
- Choose a softer mattress to help cushion shoulders and hips
- A higher-loft pillow may help support your neck better
Back Sleepers:
- Medium-firm mattresses support the natural curve of your spine
- A medium-height pillow may help support your head and neck better
Stomach Sleepers:
- A softer, flatter pillow may help support your neck better
- Lightweight duvets may help to avoid added pressure
Combination Sleepers:
- Hybrid or responsive mattresses can adjust to suit your position
- Use adaptable bedding that doesn't restrict movement
Sleep FAQs
What tog duvet should I buy?
Lower-tog duvets are ideal for warmer sleepers or summer months, while 10.5+ tog duvets are best for cold sleepers or cooler seasons. Choose the tog rating that matches your temperature needs.
How do I stop overheating at night?
Switch to breathable bedding like cotton or linen and avoid memory foam, which can retain heat. A cooling pillow or moisture-wicking topper can also help regulate your temperature.
What bedding is best for allergies?
Anti-allergen pillows, duvets and protectors are designed to help minimise allergen build-up. Look for washable synthetic fibres and add protective covers to your mattress and pillow.
Which mattress suits my sleep position?
Side sleepers need more cushioning, back sleepers benefit from medium-firm support, stomach sleepers need flatter pillows and softer surfaces, and combination sleepers do best with adaptive, hybrid mattresses.
How can I reduce nighttime restlessness?
Create a calming sleep routine, use blackout blinds and consider using weighted blankets or relaxing scents at bedtime. Consistency in bedtime patterns also plays a major role in contributing to better rest.
