In the colder months, creating a bedroom “Eden” with indoor plants could be the key to restful nights, according to Dr Deborah Lee, a sleep expert at Doctor Fox, collaborating with Get Laid Beds. With over a decade of experience, Dr Lee advocates for incorporating certain plants into your bedroom space to boost sleep quality naturally.

Indoor plants do more than enhance the aesthetic of a room; they offer tangible health benefits such as air purification, stress reduction, and natural humidification, all of which contribute to deeper, more refreshing sleep. Dr Lee explains: “With some simple care, plants such as snake plants and lavender can thrive through winter, enhancing your wellness and bringing you closer to a restful sleep.”

Get Laid Beds, a company known for its sustainable wooden beds, is supporting this initiative by encouraging customers to combine their natural bed frames with indoor plants for a bedroom that brings the calming effects of nature indoors.

Dr Lee’s top plant choices for a better night’s sleep this winter include:

Snake plant

Ideal for releasing oxygen at night, the snake plant is known for its air-purifying qualities. “Snake plants are perfect for the bedroom, as they improve air quality while you sleep, promoting a more restful snooze,” says Dr Lee.

Peace lily

Perfect for the winter months, the Peace Lily not only filters airborne toxins but also increases humidity. “Peace Lily adds moisture to the air, helping you fend off germs that thrive in colder weather,” Dr Lee notes.

Lavender

Known for its calming scent, lavender helps reduce stress and anxiety, creating a serene atmosphere. “Lavender close to your bed promotes a peaceful environment that also smells wonderful,” says Dr Lee.

English ivy

Ideal for respiratory health, English Ivy reduces airborne mould. “Having English Ivy in your room ensures you’re breathing in clean air as you sleep, which can help guard against winter colds,” Dr Lee suggests.

Aloe vera

Resilient and beneficial, aloe vera releases oxygen at night like the snake plant. Dr Lee points out: “Aloe Vera is excellent for air quality and sleep health, making it an ideal addition to the bedroom.”

This winter, Dr Lee believes that combining carefully chosen houseplants with a well-crafted wooden bed offers a natural, soothing solution for a better night’s sleep. By cultivating a “bedroom Eden”, you can improve your mood, respiratory health, and overall sleep quality.Discover how indoor plants can support your sleep this winter with insights from a seasoned sleep expert.
