What's the weight capacity for the Leesa Sapira Hybrid mattress?

<h3>Sad but true, many mattresses contain fiberglass. When looking for the perfect mattress, you shouldn't have to trade safety for comfort.</h3><p>Fiberglass is a flame-retardant material that, while effective, poses potential health risks when exposed.</p><p>Fiberglass can irritate your skin, eyes, and lungs if released into the air. The last thing you want is to disrupt your peaceful sleep with concerns about airborne particles.</p><p></p><p></p><img asset_uid="blt1e1c2639ab1ca47b" src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltdab0c7b06198f4c2/blt1e1c2639ab1ca47b/6706df9ff35edee6c65b49c0/Bedroom1.jpg" alt="Bedroom1.jpg" height="auto"/><h2>A Brief History of Fiberglass as a Mattress Material</h2><p>Once upon a time, in the early 2000s, fiberglass made its debut in mattress production. It was readily available, cost-effective, and met flammability standards for mattresses, namely “the cigarette test” and open flame from candles. Fast forward two decades when California updated its flammability standards in 2021, encouraging manufacturers to move away from certain chemical flame retardants. Though a U.S. standard, the size of the U.S. mattress market influenced mattress production globally, including phasing out materials like fiberglass.</p><p>In the years that followed, the new standard ignited controversy over the health risks of fiberglass. Some mattress companies explored safer alternative materials; some did not. This prompted consumers to look for mattresses explicitly labeled “fiberglass-free.”</p><p>To help you make an informed decision, we've put together this guide to finding the best fiberglass-free mattress. We’ll explore</p><ul><li>what fiberglass is</li><li>why it shouldn't be in your mattress</li><li>how Leesa’s fiberglass-free mattresses deliver the restful, healthy sleep you deserve.</li></ul><p></p><h2>Why is Fiberglass in Mattresses?</h2><p>Fiberglass is a synthetic material made of fine glass fibers and plastic.</p><p>Mattress manufacturers may weave a layer of fiberglass into the inner mattress cover, or "sock," because it's an excellent flame retardant. If there's a fire in your bedroom, the fiberglass will melt instead of catching fire, which protects you and helps manufacturers meet safety regulations.</p><p>The fiberglass is contained inside the mattress, and it was considered harmless for nearly a quarter of a century. But if the mattress cover is damaged or removed, it may release tiny glass particles into your home. Exposure to fiberglass can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, coughing, and other respiratory issues—definitely not something you want lingering in your sleeping space.</p><p>Plus, since fiberglass is insulating, it traps body heat and doesn't allow your mattress to breathe as well, which decreases <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-long-do-memory-foam-mattresses-last" target="_self">mattress longevity</a> and may contribute to hotter nights. <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/sleep-tips-for-hot-sleepers" target="_self">Hot sleepers</a> will especially benefit from the cooling properties of fiberglass-free mattresses.</p><p>For your health, safety, comfort, and peace of mind, it's better to look for mattresses without fiberglass. There are plenty of mattress manufacturers, including Leesa, that use alternative materials to get the same flame-retardant effect.</p><p></p><h3>Health risks of fiberglass exposure</h3><p>There are a few reasons why fiberglass is harmful to your health:</p><ol><li><p>When fiberglass particles escape from a mattress, they can become airborne. When inhaled, you may experience respiratory issues like coughing and difficulty breathing. Those conditions worsen if you have asthma.</p></li><li><p>If you've ever accidentally brushed up against some of the pink insulation common in older houses, you're probably well aware that contact with fiberglass causes skin irritation, rashes, and itching. Not a great recipe for a good night's sleep!</p></li></ol><p><span style="font-size: 14pt;padding: 5px;padding-left: 20px;display: block;background-color: #f7f7f7;">Our Arizona factory is entirely fiberglass-free! All Leesa mattresses are made from materials 100% safe for your home.</span></p><p></p><h2>Do Leesa Mattresses Have Fiberglass?</h2><p>No.</p><p>If you’re shopping for a new mattress and wondering whether Leesa uses fiberglass, rest assured—we don’t. Every <a href="https://www.leesa.com/pages/our-story" target="_self">mattress made by Leesa</a> is completely fiberglass-free.</p><p>Instead of relying on fiberglass to meet safety standards, <strong>Leesa uses a chemical-free rayon barrier made from 100% regenerated cellulose</strong>. This rayon fiber is an excellent fire retardant—without sacrificing health or comfort.</p><p>Our Arizona-based factory is entirely fiberglass-free, so you can be confident that any mattress you get from Leesa is 100% safe for your home.</p><p></p><h2>Consciously made mattresses</h2><div class="row"><div class="column" style="text-align: center;"><h3>Safe Mattresses</h3><p>Leesa mattresses are GREENGUARD Gold Certified, ensuring rigorous independing testing for safety. We also only use CertiPUR-US certified foams, ensuring they're free from harmful substances and have low VOC emissions.</p></div><div class="column" style="text-align: center;"><h3>Recycled Steel</h3><p>The springs in our mattresses are crafted from 98% recycled steel, while our bed frame is made from steel reclaimed from U.S. railroad tracks to support a circular economy and reduce waste.</p></div><div class="column" style="text-align: center;"><h3>Fiberglass free</h3><p>Our mattresses contain no fiberglass. They are crafted in our fiberglass-free factory using fire-retardant yarn with a rayon barrier. This chemical-free rayon fiber, derived from 100% regenerated cellulose, creates a protective layer that ensures both safety and comfort.</p></div></div><p></p><h3>Certifications and labels</h3><p>Fiberglass isn't the only <a href="https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news/2023/08/mattress-chemicals-you-could-be-sleeping" target="_self">harmful material that might be hiding in your mattress</a>—you also have to watch for things like phthalates and VOCs. Check for certifications like <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/foam-certifications" target="_self">CertiPUR-US</a> and GREENGUARD Gold. These certifications guarantee that your mattress is free from harmful chemicals and meets rigorous safety standards. Rest easy, because all Leesa mattresses carry these certifications.</p><p>This leads us to our next point…</p><p></p><h2>How to Check if a Mattress Has Fiberglass</h2><p>Unfortunately, mattress manufacturers don't typically advertise that they use potentially harmful materials in their mattresses. Good news, though! These manufacturers must legally list the mattress materials on the label.</p><p>If you see "glass fibers" on the label, the mattress contains fiberglass.</p><p>A warning not to remove the mattress cover is also a good indication that the mattress is made with fiberglass since the cover is the only thing shielding you from those dangerous particles.</p><p>Reputable brands like Leesa often clearly state that their products are fiberglass-free.</p><p>If you're having a hard time finding the right information, don't hesitate to reach out to customer service or do some extra research to verify the materials used in a <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/should-i-buy-a-mattress-online-" target="_self">mattress before buying</a>.</p><p><span style="font-size: 14pt;padding: 5px;padding-left: 20px;display: block;background-color: #f7f7f7;">Fiberglass isn't the only material that might be hiding in your mattress - you also have to watch for things like phthalates and VOCs.</span></p><p></p><p></p><img asset_uid="blt4d448a2484db98c6" src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltdab0c7b06198f4c2/blt4d448a2484db98c6/6706df9f56f2e22bb5834a2b/Family1.jpg" alt="Family1.jpg" height="auto"/><p></p><h2>Types of Fiberglass-Free Mattresses</h2><p>You have options when it comes to choosing a mattress without fiberglass. Whether you like a firm mattress, soft mattress, or even an organic mattress, you can find one that is fiberglass-free.</p>

<h3>Memory foam mattresses</h3><p>Known for their pressure-relieving properties, <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-mattresses-are-made" target="_self">memory foam mattresses are made from viscoelastic polyurethane foam</a> and offer great contouring support. While the high-density foam in memory foam mattresses does tend to retain heat, there are plenty of options available with cooling features like gel-infused foam layers. Memory foam is an especially great option for couples, as it offers excellent motion isolation and supports nearly all sleeping positions.</p><p>If you're looking for the best fiberglass-free memory foam mattress, we recommend the <a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/studio-mattress" target="_self">Leesa Studio</a> for sleeping connoisseurs on a budget or the <a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-mattress" target="_self">Leesa Original</a> for those who need a little more cooling and breathability.</p><p><br /></p><h3>Latex mattresses</h3><p>Constructed from either <strong>natural or synthetic latex</strong>, these mattresses are breathable, durable, and supportive. A latex mattress is an eco-friendly, non-toxic choice that will hold up for years, but the downside is that it tends to be more expensive than other options.</p>

<h3>Hybrid mattresses</h3><p>A hybrid mattress has a base of individually wrapped coils and a memory foam top (viscoelastic polyurethane). These mattresses offer a good balance of pressure relief and support, and they're more responsive and "bouncy" than all-foam mattresses.</p><p>Leesa’s uses safe foam materials, and our coils are made from 98% recycled steel.</p><p>Hot sleepers love the <a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/sapira-chill-mattress" target="_self">Leesa Sapira Chill</a> for cooling relief, while eco-conscious sleepers appreciate the <a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/natural-hybrid-mattress" target="_self">Leesa Natural Hybrid</a>, made with organic cotton for an all-natural sleep experience. And if you want the crème de la crème of fiberglass-free mattresses, check out the uber-luxurious <a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/reserve-hybrid-mattress" target="_self">Leesa Reserve Hybrid</a>.</p><p></p><p></p><img asset_uid="bltf847d2fc49e9734e" src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltdab0c7b06198f4c2/bltf847d2fc49e9734e/6706df9f2273f266f6b4d37e/Box1.jpg" alt="Box1.jpg" height="auto"/><h2>Key Features to Consider in a Fiberglass-Free Mattress</h2><p>If you're shopping for a mattress without fiberglass to protect your health and sleep quality, keep these factors in mind to find the perfect fit for your needs.</p><h3>Firmness</h3><p>A medium-firm mattress is ideal for most people, especially average-weight back sleepers, but it all depends on your size and sleep position. Side sleepers often prefer a plush soft mattress that offers better pressure relief and cushions their shoulders and hips, while back and stomach sleepers typically do better with a firmer mattress that keeps their spine aligned. Smaller people also tend to prefer soft mattresses, since they don't put as much pressure on the mattress and won't get the intended contouring effect with a firmer mattress.</p><h3>Cooling and ventilation</h3><p>Nobody likes to wake up sweaty in the middle of the night. Those who sleep hot should look for hybrid or memory foam mattresses with breathable materials or cooling technologies that help regulate body temperature. Leesa mattresses feature cooling layers and perforated foams to improve airflow and keep hot sleepers comfortable all night long.</p><h3>Motion isolation</h3><p>If you share a bed with a partner or a pet, motion isolation will keep you from interrupting each other's sleep. A mattress that minimizes movement transfer ensures that you won’t be disturbed every time your partner tosses or turns. Leesa offers a variety of memory foam and hybrid options made with motion isolation in mind.</p><h3>Edge support</h3><p>Strong edge support prevents that unpleasant roll-off sensation and creates a larger usable sleeping surface. If you tend to sleep close to the edge of the bed or enjoy sitting on the side, look for mattresses like the <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/the-leesa-legend-the-next-generation-of-sustainable-mattresses" target="_self">Leesa Legend Hybrid</a>, which offers reinforced edges for extra stability.<br /></p><h2>Sleep Safely With a Fiberglass-Free Mattress From Leesa</h2><p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/interactive/2024/sleep-data-survey-americans/" target="_self">We're getting more sleep than ever before</a>, and when you spend 8+ hours in bed every day, it's important to make sure your sleep environment is both safe and cozy. Choosing a mattress without fiberglass is a smart investment in your health and comfort.</p><p>At Leesa, all of our high-quality, fiberglass-free mattresses meet rigorous safety standards and also deliver superior comfort and support. So, whether you’re a side sleeper, <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-to-start-sleeping-on-your-back" target="_self">back sleeper</a>, or somewhere in between, there’s a perfect Leesa mattress waiting for you. <a href="https://www.leesa.com/pages/mattress-quiz" target="_self">Take our mattress quiz today</a> to find your best mattress—with no fiberglass—guaranteed.</p><h2>Frequently Asked Questions About Fiberglass-Free Mattresses</h2><p>Check out these commonly asked questions and answers on fiberglass-free mattresses.</p><h3>Which mattresses are made without fiberglass?</h3><p>At Leesa, we make all of our mattresses without fiberglass. We prioritize your safety and comfort by using a chemical-free rayon barrier for fire protection instead. No matter which Leesa bed you choose—soft, firm, hybrid, or memory foam—you can rest easy knowing that none of our mattresses contain fiberglass.</p><h3>How do I know if my mattress is fiberglass-free?</h3><p>To ensure that your mattress is fiberglass-free, always check the product details, certifications, and construction materials listed by the manufacturer. At Leesa, we’re transparent about our materials, so you can <a href="https://support.leesa.com/hc/en-us/articles/19491419774615-Does-your-mattress-contain-fiberglass" target="_self">find this information right on our website</a>. Look for certifications like CertiPUR-US or GREENGUARD Gold as well, which guarantee that the mattress meets strict safety and environmental standards.</p><h3>Is it OK to sleep on a mattress with fiberglass?</h3><p>While sleeping on a mattress with fiberglass isn’t inherently dangerous as long as the fiberglass remains contained, it’s important to be cautious. If the mattress cover is damaged or removed, fiberglass particles could escape, leading to potential skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. To avoid this risk, it’s better to choose a fiberglass-free mattress—like those offered by Leesa.</p><h3>Is fiberglass in all foam mattresses?</h3><p>Not all foam mattresses contain fiberglass. However, many lower-cost hybrid and memory foam mattresses, especially those made in China, use fiberglass as a flame retardant to meet fire safety regulations. At Leesa, we’ve chosen to craft our memory foam and hybrid mattresses without fiberglass, using safer alternatives like chemical-free rayon barriers instead.</p><p><br /></p>

So let's take a look at some of the other contenders for the best mattress of 2024. By the end, you’ll know how to choose the ideal mattress for you.</p><p></p><h2>Mattress Types</h2><p>There are four categories of mattresses, and we'll look at the specifics, pros and cons, and best features of each type here.</p><h3>Memory foam mattresses</h3><p>The industry exploded a few years ago with bed-in-a-box memory foam mattresses. Now they are the norm, and they suit different sleeping positions, firmness preferences, and cooling needs extremely well—with the added convenience of doorstep delivery.</p><p>These all-foam mattresses contour to your body and provide better pressure relief than traditional innerspring mattresses. They also minimize motion transfer, so they're ideal for couples, especially those with different sleep schedules.</p><p>One downside of a memory foam bed is heat retention, but many manufacturers use a cooling cover or gel-infused foam layers to increase breathability and wick away body heat.</p><p></p><h3>Innerspring mattresses</h3><p>Innerspring mattresses are classic beds made with rows of interconnected or individually wrapped spring coils covered by batting and quilted fabric. They offer the traditional mattress feel—more buoyant and, well, springy—so it's easier to change your sleep position and move around on them.</p><p>They're also more breathable, but they don't offer the same level of comfort and support as modern foam options. Although they are usually quite affordable, they don't last as long as hybrid, memory foam, or latex mattresses.</p><p></p><h3>Hybrid mattresses</h3><p>While all-foam mattresses quickly overtook traditional mattresses, manufacturers are now dialing back and creating more hybrid mattresses that combine the best of both worlds. Hybrid mattresses use a combination of inner springs and memory foam layers to maximize pressure relief and responsiveness.</p><p>A hybrid mattress offers excellent breathability, support, and comfort for side sleepers, stomach sleepers, and back sleepers alike, but it won't limit motion transfer quite as well as a memory foam mattress.</p><p></p><h3>Latex mattresses</h3><p>Never even heard of a latex mattress?&nbsp;</p><p>You're not alone. But these often-overlooked mattresses are ideal for those who prioritize natural, organic materials in their homes. Made from natural latex foam, these mattresses provide good contouring and breathability for temperature regulation, so they're also great for hot sleepers.</p><p>The main thing to note is that latex naturally results in a firmer mattress, so those who like a plush-soft or medium-firm mattress might find latex foam uncomfortably firm. And, while a latex mattress will last longer than any other mattress (up to 20 years), that durability comes with a higher price tag.</p><p></p><h2>Mattress Buying Guide</h2><p>Now that you understand your options, let's look at how to choose the right mattress for you.</p><p></p><h3>How to choose a mattress</h3><p>Your perfect mattress depends on five things:</p><ul><li><p>Sleeping position</p></li><li><p>Body weight</p></li><li><p>Sleeping temperature</p></li><li><p>Support needs</p></li><li><p>Personal preferences</p></li></ul><p>But this knowledge only takes you so far—you won't really know if a mattress works for you until you sleep on it.&nbsp;</p><p>Look for companies that offer a risk-free trial period where you can try the mattress out for a few weeks and easily return or exchange it if it's not winning top dreamland reviews.</p><p>It can be hard for couples with completely different needs and preferences to find a single mattress that fits them both. That's why<a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/what-is-a-split-king-do-you-need-one-leesa"> Split King mattresses</a> are becoming more common. These mattresses are made of two Twin XL mattresses, so each person can have their perfect mattress without resorting to separate beds.</p><h3>Mattress firmness options</h3><p>The mattress firmness scale ranges from ultra-soft to ultra-firm.&nbsp;</p><p>Research shows that most people prefer a medium-firm mattress, so that’s a typical starting point; if you’re not sure what you like, try medium-firm.&nbsp;</p><p>But if you know you don’t fit the “norm”—plenty prefer the feeling of sleeping on a cloud or on a very firm bed—we’ve got you covered.</p><p>Mattress firmness is highly personal.</p><p>Consider your sleep position, body weight, personal preferences, and any pressure relief or support needs.</p><h4>Sleeping positions</h4><ul><li><p>Side sleepers: Body weight is concentrated on a small area, so side sleepers need a softer mattress that offers better pressure relief.</p></li><li><p>Back sleepers: Look for enough support to keep your spine and hips aligned but not so much that it causes back pain: a medium-firm mattress is ideal.</p></li><li><p>Stomach sleepers: Heading into firm mattress territory! Stomach sleepers need enough support to keep from sinking, which makes your back arch. Firm is usually the best choice.</p></li><li><p>Combination sleepers: Those who switch up their sleep positions may need a softer mattress or a firmer one, depending on… well, many factors. Start with medium-firm.</p></li></ul><h4>Body weight</h4><ul><li><p>Light: If you're on the lighter side, you may prefer a softer mattress that has more give and conforms to your curves and joints.</p></li><li><p>Heavy: A firmer mattress provides extra support and prevents sinking.</p></li></ul><h4>Pain relief and support</h4><ul><li><p>Back pain: Depending on your size and sleep position, a soft to medium-firm mattress will contour to your spine and provide pressure relief.</p></li><li><p>Shoulder pain: Medium-firm mattresses offer optimal pressure relief for shoulder pain.</p></li><li><p>Hip pain: Hip pain while sleeping can be because of spine misalignment, so look for a medium or medium-firm mattress that cradles your hip joints but also provides enough support to keep your spine aligned.</p></li></ul><p></p><h3>Mattress size options</h3><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltdab0c7b06198f4c2/blt5ebbec81bd079ce1/6706dd65cb81286a65ce5b9f/SizeGuide1.jpg" width="662"/></p><p><a href="https://www.leesa.com/pages/size-guide">Size guide</a></p><p></p><p>When choosing a mattress size, the goal is to accommodate the tallest person. Aim for a mattress that's at least 10 cm (4 in) longer than the height of the tallest occupant.</p><p>For width, lie on the mattress on your back with your hands behind your head. In this position, your elbows shouldn't touch the edge of the mattress or the person sleeping next to you.</p><p>Of course, preferred mattress width is highly subjective. Single sleepers may love to stretch out on a King-size bed, and some couples love to sleep close and cuddle, perfectly happy on a Full-size mattress.</p><p></p>

A mattress that's too soft allows your back to arch and can make pain worse. However, smaller, lighter people may need a softer mattress for back pain, as they might not put enough pressure on the mattress for it to contour to their curves.</p><h3>What causes back pain?</h3><p>While there are<a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/back-pain/symptoms-causes/syc-20369906"> all kinds of different issues</a>, both internal and external, that cause back pain, an old mattress that doesn't offer the right support is at the top of the list.&nbsp;</p><p>If you suffer from back pain due to a worn-out mattress or one that's just not the right fit, we recommend trying out the Leesa Oasis Chill. It offers premium support and comes in two different firmness levels, so you can pick the one that's right for you.</p><p></p><br /><br />

Best Mattress 2024: See Why West Elm Picks Leesa For A Dreamy Night’s Sleep

Sleep Wellness

<h3>54.3% of men and 47.5% of women need noise to fall asleep—but what kind of noise is best?</h3><p>Finding the right sound at bedtime is a bit like<a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-many-pillows-should-you-sleep-with"> finding the perfect pillow — it’s personal. And getting it wrong could leave you tossing and turning.</a></p><p>Enter the world of noise colors: white, brown, and pink.</p><p>Which sound works best for deep, undisturbed sleep? And why are noises named after colors?</p><p>Scroll down as we break down the styles and benefits of noise for sleep and talk about how they (might) help you drift off into dreamland.<br /></p><blockquote>54.3% of men and 47.5% of women say they need noise to fall asleep.</blockquote><p></p><h2>Understanding Noise Colors</h2><p>Often categorized under the most well-known sound color, <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/soundtrack-for-better-rest-all-about-white-noise">, there are actually many noise colors that mask disruptive sounds. We'll look at popular noise colors, and break down the benefits of sound for sound sleep.</a></p><p></p><h3>What is white noise?</h3><p>White noise is the all-in-one of sounds.<a href="https://tinnitushearingsolutions.com/blog/what-is-white-noise/"><br /></a></p><p><a href="https://tinnitushearingsolutions.com/blog/what-is-white-noise/">It contains all 20,000 frequencies</a> that the human ear can hear in equal amounts, creating a consistent hiss or rush—like radio or TV static.&nbsp;</p><p>White noise is the constant hum of a fan, the whirr of a hair dryer, or the background drone of a vacuum. It's a steady sound that drowns out the occasional bumps in the night, so you fall asleep faster and stay that way.</p><p>White noise is the auditory equivalent of white light, which encompasses&nbsp; all wavelengths of the visible light spectrum.&nbsp;</p><p></p><h3>What is brown noise?</h3><p>Brown noise (also called red noise) is a deeper, more intense sound.&nbsp;</p><p>It focuses on lower frequencies, so it sounds like a deep rumble. Brown noise sounds include</p><ul><li>heavy rainfall</li><li>crashing&nbsp; waves&nbsp;</li><li>the low roar of an airplane engine&nbsp;</li></ul><p>Its rich rumble masks disruptive sounds and lulls some people into deeper, more restorative sleep.</p><p>Unlike the other types of sound, brown noise has nothing at all to do with the color brown. It gets its name from Scottish botanist<a href="https://www.livescience.com/38547-what-is-brown-noise.html"> Robert Brown, who discovered the concept of “Brownian motion”</a> back in 1827.</p><p></p><h3>Pink noise: A gentle alternative</h3><p>Pink noise is the middle ground between white and brown noise.&nbsp;</p><p>Like white noise, it contains all the frequencies humans can hear—but not at the same intensity.</p><p>With pink noise, the lower frequencies are a little louder and the higher frequencies quieter, which is why it's called pink—the low frequencies of light have a pink or violet hue. Where brown noise is a heavy rain, pink noise is a gentle rain or a cascading waterfall.&nbsp;</p><p>With a lower pitch than white noise but not as deep as brown noise, pink noise soothes and filters out disruptive sounds, making it another contender for your bedtime soundtrack.</p><h2><br />The Impact of Background Noise on Sleep</h2><p>Noise colors in hand, let’s look at how they affect your sleep quality.</p><p></p><h3>How noise affects sleep quality</h3><p>Too much noise disrupts your sleep,which is why many people mask unpleasant noise with more pleasing noise. Noise pollution and ambient sounds, such as your neighbor's dog barking, your partner's snoring, or tinnitus, disrupt your sleep cycle, negatively affecting both your mental and physical health.&nbsp;</p><p>In fact, the<a href="https://www.hoffmannaudiology.com/blog/noise-impact-sleep-cycle"> long-term effects of a noisy sleep environment</a> include</p><ul><li><p>elevated heart rate</p></li><li><p>high blood pressure and an increased risk of heart disease and stroke</p></li><li><p>increased cortisol and adrenaline production</p></li><li><p>weight gain</p></li></ul><p></p><p>Our brain uses sleep time to repair our bodies, so undisturbed sleep has positive health benefits.</p><p></p>&gt;<blockquote>"Noise pollution and ambient sounds disrupt your sleep cycle and impact your mental and physical health."</blockquote><h3>The benefits of noise for sleep</h3><p>For some people, continuous, monotonous sounds cancel out disruptive sounds and promote calm and relaxation.&nbsp;</p><p>Research on the impact of these noises is mixed, but many people swear by their noise machines and apps. And a study on the effects of white noise in high noise environments <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34049045/">showed significant improvements to sleep quality</a></p><p><so it’s worth a try to see if white, pink, or brown noise helps you get better night’s sleep.< p></so></p><p></p><h2>Comparing Brown Noise and White Noise for Sleep</h2><p>When it comes to brown noise vs. white noise for sleep, it’s entirely a personal preference, so experiment with different noise colors to find what works best for you.&nbsp;</p><p>Both effectively mask background noises and improve sleep quality for some people, but they do so in different ways. White noise covers all frequencies equally, while brown noise emphasizes low-frequency sounds for a richer, bassier tone.</p><p></p><h2>Getting Started with Sound Therapy for Sleep</h2><p>Ready to see if noise therapy improves your sleep quality? Here’s how to get started:</p><p></p><h3>Select a noise machine or app</h3><p>There are lots of free and low-cost apps out there that run the gamut of sounds designed to help you fall asleep. But if you have a “no phones in the bedroom” policy, a sound machine is an affordable, versatile option to mask background noises and promote better sleep.&nbsp;</p><p>One popular option is the <a href="https://yogasleep.com/products/dohmclassic">Yogasleep Dohm</a> machine. It comes with five fan sounds (pink noise is its base) without the breeze. It’s endorsed by the Sleep Foundation and leading magazines, and it’s been around since 1962. The size of a softball, it comes with options like soft nightlights for kids, babies, and sensitive pets!</p><p></p><h3>Amazon Alexa and Google Home speaker</h3><p>If you have an <a href="https://alexa.amazon.com/">Alexa</a> or <a href="https://assistant.google.com/">Google</a> WiFi device, you’re in luck—simply ask your smart home device to automatically play your preferred sound type at bedtime and shut off at a specific time.&nbsp;</p><p>“Alexa, play [rain sounds/brown noise/thunder].”</p><p>It’s that easy.&nbsp;</p><p>While traveling, use your Apple or Android smartphone the same way: place your phone on the bedside table (or in a tent pocket) on charge and ask it to play your favorite sleep sound.</p>

<h2>Noise Is Nice, But Comfort Is Essential: 3 Sound Sleep Tips</h2>
<p>The right blend of sounds relaxes you into sleep mode, but there are three other tactics loved by sound sleepers across the globe:</p>
<ol>
  <li>Air purifiers</li>
  <li>Humidifiers</li>
  <li>A comfortable mattress</li>
</ol>
<h3>Air purifiers:</h3>
<p>Ranging from $25 to over $1000—think <a href="https://www.dyson.com/air-treatment">Dyson</a>—air purifiers remove gases (from furniture, cooking appliances, and home heating), odors, allergens, and pollutants (like pollen and dander). For those with allergies or who are sensitive to environmental particulate, an air purifier in the bedroom is a life changer.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>Humidifiers:</h3>
<p>In a similar cost bracket to air purifiers, humidifiers maintain ideal humidity levels in your bedroom. This is important during the winter months when moisture levels drop, and for those who snore or have sleep apnea or tonsillitis.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Added moisture alleviates the physical discomfort of dry air, which is known to irritate the nose, throat, and skin. The <a href="https://www.sleepfoundation.org/bedroom-environment/benefits-of-a-humidifier-while-sleeping">Sleep Foundation </a>breaks down the advantages and many types of humidifiers if you’re curious about the benefits of moisture for better sleep.</p>
<p></p>
<p>There are also air purifier/humidifier combos out there if you have the budget and want to both moisturize and purify the air you breathe while you sleep.&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>
<h3>The right mattress:</h3>
<p>Noise, moisture, and clean air are all wonderful ways to improve your sleep. But the most important element of great sleep—insert full bias disclosure here!—is a comfortable mattress.</p>
<p>Your mattress supports every part of your body and is the foundation of sweet dreams. A<a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/benefits-memory-foam-mattress"> high-quality memory foam mattress</a> reduces pain and discomfort and keeps you at the perfect temperature all night long.&nbsp;></p>
<p>The<a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-hybrid-mattress"> Leesa Sapira Hybrid</a>, with its perfect balance of support and comfort, or the<a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/legend-chill-hybrid-mattress"> Leesa Legend Chill</a> with lux cooling could be just what you need to create your ideal sleep sanctuary./p>

Brown Noise vs. White Noise:  What Sound Is Best for Sleep?

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Whether you're hosting <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/4-ways-to-refresh-your-space-for-fall" target="_self">Friendsgiving</a> or having family in from out of town, getting your house prepped for guests can feel like a never-ending to-do list. So we’re here to help with the ultimate holiday preparation checklist.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Want to make getting ready for the holidays a breeze this year? Just follow this guide, and your house will be guest-ready in no time.&nbsp;</span></p><h2>Deep Clean your Guest Room</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">When it comes to getting ready for the holidays, here’s how to <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-to-create-the-dreamiest-guest-room-leesa-sleep" target="_self">get your guest room set up</a> for this season's visitors:</span></p><ul><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Start by </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-to-care-for-your-mattress"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">deep cleaning your mattress</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Refresh your bedding by </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-to-care-for-your-sheets"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">cleaning your sheets</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> and duvet or quilt (or consider an upgrade if your bedding has seen better days!).</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Sweep, mop, and vacuum. After a long, hot summer, your floors could probably use a little love. Slide the bed out and get behind the headboard too.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Dust, dust, dust! Especially those areas that you don't hit regularly, like baseboards and window sills.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Clean the guest bathroom, especially if it's one you don't use regularly.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Clean all surfaces, including the tops of the dresser and side tables, mirrors, door handles, etc.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Touch up the paint. Look for any chips or scuff marks and give them a fresh coat for a clean look.</span></p></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">And of course, having the right mattress, pillows, and bedding is a must in a guest bedroom. We can help with that.</span></p>

<h2>Refresh your Guest Bedding</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">No one wants to sleep on old, dingy bedding after a long day in a car or on a plane. If you have guests coming to stay, it’s a great time to refresh your guest bedding. Wash your sheets or splurge on some new ones, and make sure your duvet or quilt is in good condition. Be sure to provide enough pillows and blankets so that your guests are comfortable, especially as the weather gets colder.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Tip: If you don't need to replace all of your guest bedding, try switching out your throw blanket and throw pillows to refresh your old bedding. Bonus if the new pieces make the room feel seasonal—fall and holiday themes can be very welcoming.&nbsp;</span></p><h3>Is it time to upgrade your sheets?</h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Have your sheets seen better days (or nights)? Maybe they're starting to get really thin or pilly after being washed so many times. Nothing beats that clean-sheet feeling, so welcome your guests with new, crisp sheets (our </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-sheet-set"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Bamboo Cotton Sheet Set</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> is super soft, light, and comfortable).</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Finish up by </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-to-make-the-perfect-bed"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">making the perfect</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> layered bed so all that new bedding pops. Your guests will feel like they're staying in a luxury hotel.</span></p>

<h2>Stock Fresh Linens in the Guest Bathroom</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Make sure that your hall and guest bathrooms are ready for company. In any common bathroom, guests will be using, make sure there are clean towels for hand-drying and plenty of toilet paper. Lighting a candle during party time and making air freshener easily accessible is always a plus, too (especially in fall scents!).</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">For overnight guests, make sure the bathroom they'll be using has enough clean towels for showering, at least one hand towel, and extra toilet paper. Other items you may want to stock for your guests include cotton swabs, Q-tips, washcloths, and hand lotion. And just like the other spaces in your home, a candle or air freshener can bring the feel of fall into your bathroom.</span></p><h2>Make your Home Smell like the Season</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Your guests will feel comfortable and cozy when they're welcomed by </span><a href="https://www.bhg.com/decorating/seasonal/fall/diy-ways-to-make-your-home-smell-like-fall/"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">the smells of fall</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Here are some of our favorite autumn scents:</span></p><ul><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Pumpkin</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Cinnamon (or any spice-inspired scent)</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Birchwood</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Vanilla</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Cranberry or apple</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Marshmallow</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Pine or cedar</span></p></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Many of those smells work great in the winter, too, especially woodsy scents like birch and pine.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The smell of baking cookies is also a great party trick in any season. Pop a dozen cookies or so in the oven. The aroma will fill the house, and your guests can enjoy freshly baked cookies. Or try making homemade potpourri (there are tons of recipes on the internet!).&nbsp;</span></p><h2>Include Fall Elements Throughout your Home</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Pumpkins and candles and plaid, oh my! </span><a href="https://www.southernliving.com/interior-designers-favorite-fall-decor-items-7966317"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Adding a little fall decor</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> to your home can help cozy up your space and make your guests feel welcome. Try fall-scented candles (like we just talked about), pumpkins in different materials, shapes, and sizes, and accents that scream "fall."</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We love anything in an autumn color palette: maroon, red, orange, mustard, navy blue, and sage green. Mix and match solids, patterns, and metallics in every space in your home to give those fall vibes. Plus, fall colors transition well into winter, so when the time comes, you can just switch out your pumpkins for snowmen and cranberries for holly. This strategy can save you time and money on holiday-specific decorations or complement whichever holidays you do celebrate.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">You don’t have to spend a fortune to give your house a holiday makeover—there are </span><a href="https://www.countryliving.com/diy-crafts/g1533/fall-crafts/"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">tons of budget-friendly DIY decoration projects</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> that you can do with things you probably already have. And while you’re crafting, you can even make some </span><a href="https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/holidays-celebrations/gifts/g33416427/diy-christmas-gifts/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=arb_ga_pw_md_dsa_hybd_mix_us_20546038685&gclid=CjwKCAjws9ipBhB1EiwAccEi1Eox8v3nfkFYhKdJsB3jFF29YubIJKKERpa5f6xmhw2LCLWr8S76iRoCAG4QAvD_BwE"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">homemade gifts</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> and holiday cards for your guests.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Tip: If you’re going to be traveling for the holidays yourself and need to prepare your house for vacation, opt for faux pumpkins and gourds that won’t go bad while you’re gone!&nbsp;</span></p><h2>Shop Sales</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Stretch your holiday budget further by shopping for Black Friday sales after Thanksgiving dinner. Take some time to make a list of each person you need to buy for, along with potential gift ideas. Then browse the holiday sales and keep an eye out for gifts that fit the bill.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you don’t find anything right away, don’t stress! Most stores will have sales running throughout the busy holiday season, so you’re sure to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list—without breaking the bank.</span></p><h2>Preparing for the Holidays with Leesa</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Holiday preparations can feel overwhelming—but with Leesa, they don’t have to be! Whether you’re prepping for guests or need to prepare your house for vacation in the season ahead, use this handy checklist to make getting ready for the holidays stress-free.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">And when it comes to keeping your guests cozy and comfortable, Leesa has your back (and theirs!) With quality bedding from Leesa, you can make your guest bed an inviting space and maybe even check off a few holiday gifts while you’re at it.&nbsp;</span></p><h2>FAQs</h2><div class="schema-faq-code" itemtype="https://schema.org/FAQPage"><div itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question" class="faq-question"><h3 itemprop="name" class="faq-q">What are the best color schemes for a festive home?</h3><div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"><p itemprop="text" class="faq-a">The best color schemes for a festive holiday home bring the look and feel of nature indoors. So when you're getting ready for the holidays, think of changing leaves, vibrant pumpkins, blooming mums, crisp apples, or snow-covered pines.

Start by cleaning and refreshing or updating your guest bedding, including the mattress. You’ll also want to make sure your guest bathroom is fully stocked with plenty of bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, toilet paper, and any toiletries your guests might need. Finally, fall-scented air fresheners and candles can help create a homey holiday atmosphere that your visitors will love.</p></div></div><div itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question" class="faq-question"><h3 itemprop="name" class="faq-q">How can I transition my holiday decor from fall to winter seamlessly?</h3><div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"><p itemprop="text" class="faq-a">The easiest way to transition your decor throughout the holiday season is to start with a color scheme that goes seamlessly from fall to winter. Dark green, maroon, sage, mustard, red, and orange can be adapted to fit your decor all season long. You can also focus on using natural elements, such as pine cones, acorns, and evergreen boughs, rather than holiday-centric decor, for a perfect holiday look from Thanksgiving to New Year’s.</p></div></div></div>

Getting Ready for the Holidays: A Step-by-Step Checklist

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you've ever laid in bed staring at the ceiling, you're not alone. Sometimes it's hard to turn off your brain after a long day or the night before a big meeting or event. We've got your back — here are some of our favorite strategies to help you get to sleep faster so you can get the R&amp;R you need.</span></p><h2><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">Tips for Falling Asleep Fast</span></h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">There really are some easy ways to <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/fall-back-asleep" target="_self">fall asleep</a> fast — and stay asleep longer. Here are our 16 tips to fall asleep faster.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">1. Make sure your room's temperature is ideal for sleep.</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Sleep experts agree — the best temperature for sleep is 66-70 degrees.</span></p>

<br /><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">2. Wear comfy, light clothing.</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Nothing is worse than being hot while you sleep. Try loose light, cotton nightwear for your best rest.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">3. Beware of caffeine before bed.</span></h3><p><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/can-tea-help-you-sleep" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">You should limit your caffeine before bed</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Too much caffeine may keep you from falling asleep (and staying asleep!). Caffeine impacts everyone differently, so if you can't have coffee after 1 p.m., then don't! It's not worth losing sleep over.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">4. Make sure you're getting enough exercise.</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Exercise your muscles regularly to get your best sleep.</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/these-workouts-could-help-you-sleep-better" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> Check out some of our favorite activities to do to sleep better at night. &gt;&gt;</span></a></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">5. Ban (or at least limit) screen time.</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you can, you should </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/5-reasons-to-ban-electronics-from-the-bedroom" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">ban electronics in the bedroom</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. The blue light that electronics emit keeps your brain active, which you don't want at bedtime. Banning electronics an hour or so before bed is a good habit to get into.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">6. Read a book before bed.</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">An actual, physical paper book, rather than an electronic reading device, is best for bedtime reading. It helps relax your mind, and the story can help distract your brain from any stress or anxiety.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">6. Journal your thoughts and concerns.</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This may sound silly, but if you get your concerns and worries out of your brain, it may help you get better rest. Alternatively, you can talk through problems or stressors with a partner or friend. Just set a time limit so that it doesn't consume your entire night.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">7. Avoid alcohol before bed.</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Some people enjoy a "nightcap," but that late-night drink could actually negatively impact your rest. (Psst! It's also important to</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/are-hydration-and-sleep-connected-spoiler-yes" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> stay hydrated during the day.</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> That way, your body has the fuel it needs to recover while you sleep.)</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">8. Try playing white noise.</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Buy a white noise machine, or download a </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/soundtrack-for-better-rest-all-about-white-noise" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">white noise app</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> on your phone.</span><span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The constant, steady noise can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep by masking any outside noises or distractions, like a car outside or your partner snoring. Sounds can include raindrops, ocean waves, chirping insects, thunder, running water, and more.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">9. Have the right lighting.</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Dim the lights a few hours before bed to trigger your body to begin</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/the-ultimate-guide-to-melatonin-and-sleep" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> producing melatonin</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Melatonin is the natural hormone your brain releases that tell your body it's time for sleep.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">10. Make sure it's completely dark in your room.</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Even the light from a clock or light from the hallway under the door can keep you awake. It goes back to</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/the-ultimate-guide-to-melatonin-and-sleep" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> melatonin production</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, and light can keep your body from producing the right amount to help you sleep.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">11. Take 4-7-8 breaths.</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Try taking “relaxing breaths," also known as the</span><a href="https://www.drweil.com/videos-features/videos/the-4-7-8-breath-health-benefits-demonstration/" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> 4-7-8 exercise</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Breathe in through your nose for four slow counts, hold your breath for seven, then slowly breathe out through your mouth for eight. This breathing pattern has the power to lower stress hormones and blood pressure (it's sometimes referred to as a natural tranquilizer).</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">12. Flip your pillow to the cool side.</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Simple, but it works! Being too hot can keep you from falling and staying asleep. Want the ultimate cooling pillow experience?</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-hybrid-pillow" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Check out our <a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/ultra-cool-memory-foam-pillow" target="_self">Ultra Cool Memory Foam Pillow</a>, made with a cool-to-the-touch cover that pulls heat away from your body while you snooze.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">13. Get the right pillow.</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Make sure you have the</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-to-pick-the-right-pillow" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> right pillow for your sleeping position</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. A side sleeper needs a little more support from its pillow than a stomach sleeper.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">14. Find the right sleeping position for you.</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you sleep on your back, try placing a rolled towel under your knees. Or, if you're a side sleeper, tuck a pillow between your legs. Did you know that the </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/sleep-positions-and-personalities" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">sleep position</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> you prefer may say a lot about your personality?</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">15. Meditate or do yoga.</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Try</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/meditation-to-help-you-get-better-rest" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> nighttime meditation</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> or a</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/these-workouts-could-help-you-sleep-better" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> short yoga practice</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> before bed. There are also some handy apps that offer nighttime meditations, like Smiling Mind and Calm.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">16. Create a</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-to-adjust-your-sleep-schedule" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> sleep schedule</span></a><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);"> (and stick to it!).</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you aim for the same bedtime and wake time every day, it can help you fall asleep faster and get better quality sleep.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you're a parent, you already know that kids can have as much trouble getting to sleep as adults. Read about how to help your children</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-fall-asleep-fast-kids" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> sleep fast here. &gt;&gt;</span></a></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">For more sleep tips and tricks,</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/pages/resource-guide" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> visit our blog.</span></a></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Whether it's a big step like buying a new Leesa mattress or pillow, or smaller steps like yoga, practicing mindfulness, journaling, doing breathing exercises, or avoiding caffeine and/or alcohol before bed, you'll increase your chances of falling to sleep within minutes — and staying asleep.</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p><h2><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">FAQs</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);"></span></h2><h3>How Long Should it Take to Fall Asleep?</h3><p>The period between being awake and going to sleep is called "sleep latency" by sleep scientists. In general, studies show the average sleep latency for adults is 15–20 minutes. However, this isn't necessarily always the case. Some people — power sleepers, we like to call them — fall asleep almost immediately. Others may take up to 20 minutes.</p><h3>How Do Soldiers Fall Asleep Fast?</h3><p>The U.S. Army teaches new recruits the secrets to falling asleep within two minutes in less than ideal situations. It consists of four simple steps: Lie down and relax your face, including the muscles around your eyes, your jaw, and your tongue. Drop your shoulders as far down as possible, followed by your arms, one side at a time. Do a deep exhale, intentionally relaxing your chest, followed by your thighs and legs. Clear your mind for 10 seconds with one of the following scenarios: Mentally repeat "don't think, don't think." Imagine you're lying in a black velvet hammock in a pitch-black room. Imagine you're lying in a canoe on a calm lake with a blue sky above you. Typically, this takes several weeks of practice before it starts to work, but some people report a much quicker result.</p><h3>What is The 15-Minute Sleep Rule?</h3><p>Invented by researchers at the University of Oxford in Great Britain, this rule states if you haven't dozed off within 15 minutes, get up, go into another room and repeat your wind-down routine again until you feel sleepy.</p><br /><br /><br /><br />
