Cocooned in Comfort: The Benefits of Sleeping with a Doona
Share
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of being wrapped in a cosy doona or you favourite blanket at night. But when the temperature rises, many people kick off their doona in frustration, leaving them tossing and turning in discomfort. If you love the comfort and security of a duvet, but struggle with overheating, there’s good news—you don’t have to choose between comfort and staying cool.
Thanks to the Fantail Bed Fan, you can enjoy the luxury of sleeping under your duvet, even on hot nights, without overheating or waking up sweaty. In this blog, we’ll explore the science-backed benefits of sleeping with a duvet and how the Fantail Bed Fan makes it possible to stay cool, comfortable, and cocooned all night long.
Why Do People Love Sleeping with a Doona?
A doona isn’t just about warmth—it provides a sense of comfort, security, and improved sleep quality. Here’s why:
Deep Pressure Stimulation for Better Sleep
Research shows that being covered while sleeping creates a calming effect similar to a weighted blanket. This is known as deep pressure stimulation (DPS), which helps:
- Reduce stress & anxiety
- Increase melatonin production (the sleep hormone)
- Promote deeper, more restful sleep
The Problem? On warm nights, a doona can make you overheat, forcing you to ditch the comfort and switch to a single sheet instead.
Feeling Secure & Less Restless at Night
A doona creates a gentle, comforting pressure that can reduce tossing and turning. Many people sleep better when they feel cocooned, as it provides a psychological sense of security.
The Problem? A thick doona traps heat, leaving you too hot to stay asleep comfortably.
Consistent Temperature for Deep Sleep
Fluctuations in body temperature can disrupt sleep cycles. A duvet helps maintain consistent warmth, allowing you to stay in deep sleep for longer.
The Problem? Without proper cooling, heat builds up, causing night sweats and poor sleep quality.
