3. Ventilation matters. Keep the bedroom well-ventilated by opening a window or using a fan. Fresh air helps prevent stuffiness and promotes a comfortable sleep environment. You can do this before bedtime, to ensure a comfortable start to the night.
4. Humidity control. Maintain a healthy level of humidity in the room. Excessive humidity can lead to discomfort and sweating, so consider using a dehumidifier if needed.
5. Cool and calm interior. Choose light, cool colours for the room decor. Lighter shades reflect heat and create a visually soothing space.
6. Breathable waterproof bed mat. The most commonly used mattress protectors contain PVC, which contributes to overheating and what comes with it - sweating. Not to mention their awful crinkling noise with every toss and turn and boy, don't kids wriggle at night! What you need is a PeapodMat - a breathable waterproof bed mat that stays on top of the bedsheet. It's easy to look after, too!
Best fabrics for PJ comfort
When it comes to choosing the perfect PJs to keep your child sweat-free, here are the best breathable fabrics to look out for:
Cotton. A classic choice, cotton is highly breathable and soft on the skin. Look for lightweight cotton PJs that allow air to flow freely.
Bamboo. Bamboo fabric is not only eco-friendly but also moisture-wicking and breathable. It's perfect for keeping your child cool and comfy.
Modal. Modal is a silky-smooth fabric derived from beech trees. It's known for its breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
Linen. Although not as common for PJs, linen is incredibly breathable and gets softer with each wash. It's great especially for warm nights.
As you embark on this journey to create a cool sleep environment for your child, remember that small changes can make a big difference. By optimizing their bedding, promoting proper ventilation and using the best fabrics for their sleepwear, you're setting the stage for a night of restful slumber.
