Creating a healthier bedroom
Better sleep starts with cleaner air and gentler materials.

Quick answer
Air the room each morning, wash bedding in fragrance-free detergent, and remove plug-in fresheners. Over time, choose natural-fibre bedding and, if you're replacing anyway, a low-emission mattress.
Key takeaways
- Airing the room each morning is the best free upgrade.
- Fragrance-free bedding reaches you for eight hours a night.
- Save bigger changes like a new mattress for when you're replacing anyway.
Start with the air
Open the windows for ten minutes each morning to clear the air you've breathed overnight. Remove plug-in fresheners and synthetic candles, which add fragrance to the room you sleep in.
Gentle bedding
Whatever you wash your bedding in sits against your skin all night. A fragrance-free detergent is an easy win; natural-fibre bedding is a lovely upgrade as items wear out.
The bigger changes
A low-emission mattress and solid-wood furniture reduce off-gassing, but they're best bought when you're replacing anyway. Don't feel you need to rush them.
No pressure, ever
