Optimum indoor climate in the bedroom
An ideal room climate in the bedroom is particularly important for healthy and restful sleep. Not only the temperature for sleeping, but also the relative humidity in the bedroom play an important role here. We explain what the ideal humidity in the bedroom should be, what the best room temperature is for sleeping and how you can ensure an optimal room climate in your bedroom.
Optimal indoor climate in the bedroom: why it is important
- For a better, deeper and more restful sleep
- For increased concentration and productivity during the day
- For furniture and equipment that is protected and stays beautiful longer
Ideal humidity in the bedroom
The ideal relative humidity in the bedroom is between 40 % and 60 %. This range is considered comfortable and beneficial to health.
If the air is too dry, this can lead to respiratory and skin problems, irritation of the eyes, electrostatic discharge and generally poorer sleep quality.
If the air is too humid, this can promote mould growth, the spores of which can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory problems. In addition, the air can be perceived as stuffy and musty, which can affect sleep quality.
Suitable temperature for sleeping
The ideal temperature in the bedroom varies according to individual preferences, but should generally be in the range of 16 °C to 19 °C.
Temperatures that are too low can lead to muscle tension and increased susceptibility to colds and respiratory infections. It can also cause problems falling asleep and staying asleep.
Temperatures that are too high can lead to dehydration, restless sleep, increased sweating and general malaise.
Air treatment devices for the bedroom
Depending on the current conditions in your bedroom, you can use different air treatment devices to create optimal conditions in your bedroom. Find out how humidifiers, air purifiers, fan heaters or fans can help you create a better indoor climate in your bedroom
Humidifiers
If the humidity in the bedroom is below 40 % for a longer period of time, a humidifier should be used for more comfort. This humidifies the air optimally and can contribute to a better and more restful sleep and increases general well-being.
Air purifiers
An air purifier effectively removes pollutants such as dust, pollen, allergens and harmful bacteria and viruses from the air. This means you breathe in a cleaner and healthier environment and sleep better. If the air is too dry at the same time, an air washer is recommended.
Fan heaters
The use of a fan heater in the bedroom is particularly suitable in the transitional period to winter, when the central heating is not yet on. A fan heater provides quick, adjustable heat and can contribute to an optimal room temperature in the bedroom.
Fans
A fan in the bedroom contributes to good air circulation and brings a cool breeze on hot days. Improved air circulation can help minimise snoring, for example.
Aroma diffusers
An aroma diffuser in the bedroom, together with the right essential oil, not only creates a pleasant scent but can also promote relaxation and stress relief at the end of the day.
Dehumidifiers
If the relative humidity in the bedroom is above 60 % for a longer period, a dehumidifier should be used. This removes the excess moisture from the air efficiently and quietly.
