What can you do about restless sleep?

If you have restless sleep, it is important to identify the causes. Alongside stress, inner restlessness or unhelpful habits, your sleep environment may also play a part. A suitable mattress helps keep your body stable and reduce pressure points. Regular sleep routines, a quiet environment, a well-darkened room and a comfortable temperature can also help improve your sleep. Ideally, your bedroom should be cool and well ventilated, at around 16 to 18 °C. In these conditions, your body can fall asleep more easily and your sleep phases may be more stable. Avoiding screen time before bed can also help your body wind down.

Can a mattress cause restless sleep?

Yes, an unsuitable mattress can contribute to restless sleep. If it does not support your body sufficiently or creates pressure points, your body may respond with frequent movement and changes of position. A mattress suited to your ergonomics is designed to help reduce this restlessness and support more settled sleep.

Why do I turn over so often at night?

Frequent turning is often a sign that your body cannot find a comfortable, stable lying position. Pressure points, the wrong mattress firmness or insufficient spinal support may be the cause. Your body automatically tries to find a more comfortable position, which can make your sleep restless.

Which pillow can help with restless sleep?

A suitable pillow can make an important contribution to more restful sleep by stabilising the position of your head and neck. If your pillow is too high or too flat, your body has to keep compensating. A neck support pillow helps keep your cervical spine in a neutral position, allowing your body to relax more fully. It is important that the pillow suits your mattress, sleep position and individual body measurements. This is the only way it can support your body effectively and reduce restless movement during sleep.

The right mattress for restless sleep.

Restless sleep can mean waking frequently, tossing and turning or feeling unrefreshed in the morning. Some people also experience sleep disturbance linked to inner restlessness, rumination or stress, making it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep. Alongside psychological factors such as tension or emotional strain, your sleep environment also plays an important role. An unsuitable mattress can prevent your body from fully relaxing, making you shift position again and again. A sleep solution tailored to you can help support your body better, creating the foundation for calmer, more restful sleep.

Causes

Why restless sleep happens.

Restless sleep can have many causes and is often the result of several factors combined. External influences are not the only ones that matter; your body also plays an important role. Physical tension, pain, an uncomfortable lying position or inner restlessness can all prevent your body from fully relaxing.

Common causes include:

Stress and inner restlessness
Physical discomfort or pain
An unsuitable mattress or poor support
Unhelpful habits before bed (e.g. screen time)
Environmental factors such as temperature or light

REQUIREMENTS

Which mattress is recommended for restless sleep?

Your mattress directly affects how settled your body feels during sleep. Frequent turning and changes of position can be a sign that your body cannot find a stable, comfortable lying position. If it is not sufficiently supported, pressure points or poor posture can develop, causing you to move constantly or wake during the night.

A suitable mattress keeps your body stable while allowing it to relax. This can reduce unnecessary movement and help you sleep more deeply and peacefully.

To determine the best lying position for you, slaapTEQ uses a sleep ergonomics simulator that calculates the pressure your body exerts from head to toe. The mattress is then tailored to you, providing support and pressure relief exactly where you need it.
