Have you ever followed your tried and true nightly routine but still had trouble falling asleep? Believe it or not, it could be the color of your bedding and bedroom linens. Choosing certain colors and shades when it comes to your bed sheets can have an affect on your sleep quality and create a completely different environment. Take a look at why this can play a part in your rest and what colors to look for when finding the ultimate sleep schedule. 

Why Does Color Matter?

Certain light colors like white, ivory and pastels do not absorb light wavelengths, therefore any light that hits these colors will bounce off and reflect onto the rest of the space. If you are sleeping with white sheets, white curtains, and other linens, any remote light source can cause an unwanted reflection and disrupt sleep. It is a good idea to choose darker linens if you are prone to sleep deprivation or are looking for ways to fall asleep faster. 

Best Colors For Sleeping

Try using darker colors like black, grey, navy and other richer shades that will absorb light and keep the space dark and cocoon-like for the perfect sleep environment. Take a look at some of the shades we recommend that will help absorb the light at night:

Carbon

A rich, deep blue-black, carbon is one of our darkest shades available in the Ultra Percale collection for matte, crisp and cooling comfort. Pair with complimentary neutrals or the matching duvet cover for the ultimate dark and moody look.

Midnight

Elevate your space with a rich and sophisticated navy shade that is the perfect way to invite color into the room without clashing with your neutrals. Midnight brings luxury and versatility together with a soft and smooth finish that’s sure to fit beautifully with any bedroom.

Slate

If you are looking for a unique neutral tone that adds a pop of color, consider slate - an upscale blue-grey shade that compliments any space through a crisp and cool feel that is perfect for hot sleepers or those who live in warmer climates.
