Secret to a Good Night’s Sleep: Bring the Temperature Down with Cooling and Humidity-defying Bed Items
In a recent survey of 150 customers in Taiwan, IKEA has found that 90% of the customers surveyed reported to have better sleep quality in winter, with 60% putting heat and humidity as the key reason for poor sleep quality in summer.
Bed items made with cooling and humidity-defying materials are also helpful in improving sleep quality alongside fans and air-conditioners. Made with materials impervious to external temperature changes, IKEA’s range of cooling and humidity-defying bed items, woven with nylon and gel layer, ensure a cool and comfortable contact with the human body, resulting in improved sleep quality. This is validated by IKEA’s product trials. 150 Taiwanese customers were invited to sleep on a standard mattress and an IKEA one with cooling effect, while having changes in their body temperature were measured. The results are as follow:
| Standard Mattress | IKEA Cooling Mattress | |||
| Average Temperature Before Trial | Temperature Two Minutes After Trial Commenced | Average Temperature Before Trial | Temperature Two Minutes After Trial Commenced | |
| Mattress Temperature | 23.5℃ | 27℃ (↑3.5℃) | 23℃ | 25.9℃ (↑2.9℃) |
| User Temperature | 35.8℃ | 36℃ (↑0.2℃) | 36℃ | 35.7℃ (↓0.3℃) |
With a lower initial temperature than a standard mattress, IKEA’s cooling mattress also maintains a lower rise in temperature during the trial, proving the effectiveness of cooling mattress in retarding the temperature rise keeps a lower heat-rise even in contact with the human body and guarantees a good night’s sleep in the hot and humid summer. Among the customers who participated in the product trial, 99% agreed on the effectiveness of IKEA’s cooling bed items in improving sleep quality in summer.
