Sleep is the ultimate rejuvenator. Having the right amount of sleep not only energizes the body and make it health, it also helps keep the mind alert and enhances 'mood.'

Set the stage for a good night's rest. If sleeping is a type of performance, then the stage would be composed of this sacred trio: the bed frame, the mattress, and the pillows and sheets.
Upholstered bedframes are becoming a popular choice among us sleep seekers as there offer added head and back support with their soft and padded headboards. Find the 'one' for you at Italian contemporary furniture brand Natuzzi Italia. Their Cuzco bed is a modern take on magnificent Incan masonry with customizable leather and fabric to suit your personal aesthetic.
Mattresses and pillows, on the other hand, all boil down to individual comfort. Shang advises to consider your sleeping position, preferred firmness level, and any specific needs such as back support or motion isolation when making your selection. Dunlopillo has the Talasilver Wave Fortuna mattress with its fast-drying and cooling-down technology.
Luxeroom and Sealy have a great range of spinal and shoulder-supporting options, Rustan's has the Nano Gel Pillow made from hypoallergenics materials, and Slumberland Furniture carries memory foam and hybrid choices that conform to the unique contours of your body. Tempur's mattress and pillow are recognized by NASA and certified by the Space Foundation- that's some serious sleep technology.
Pro tip: According to the Better Sleep Council, mattresses should be changed after around 7 years, while most experts recommend pillows be replaced every 1-2 years.
Ever wondered why staying in top-rated hotels hit different? Hotels swear by using breathable, soft and durable 100% cotton sheets. Recreate the five-star experience with Frette, the Italian luxury linens known as the go-to of the best hotels in the world- including Shangri-La hotels and resorts in the Philippines. The awesome news is that it's now available at Shang's Super Salone showroom. Sheridan also carries the 800 thread count Indian silk beddings for sleep fit for royalty.
It's good to embrace the dark side. Light exposure controls your circadian rhythm A.K.A. your sleep patters, so it makes sense to avoid artificial light sources as much as possible when going to sleep. Blackout curtains are a great way to ensure no artificial light from buildings, streetlights, or cars can penetrate your windows. As a plus, less light means cooler temperature, too. Check Rustan's Home & Department Store for extensive and chic choices.
Scents can help. Certain fragrances like lavender and chamomile are essential for creating a sleep-friendly environment, as they promote relaxation and reduce anxiety. Explore the comforting world of aromatherapy with scented candles, reed and aromatic diffusers, or linen sprays. Muji Home and Scented Oils from Univers at the Shang have cult faves and a wide selection. Another thing to help calm the senses that light sleepers recommend are sounds of nature like rain or ocean waves, so try putting some on your playlist.
