Many things impede a restful night’s sleep, but one that is frequently ignored is the smell of bedsheets. In most situations, a combination of sweat, unclean carpets, or dampness can cause the unpleasant smell of bed linens. An unpleasant-smelling bed sheet becomes an impediment to a good night’s sleep. However, unpleasant odors can be combated using strong scents that keep the blankets and bedsheets feeling fresh. Approximately 75% of people say that sheets with a fresh scent let them sleep better. Therefore, if you’re looking to incorporate scents into your bedsheets for better sleep, here are some scents you should consider.
Lavender
Lavender’s relaxing scent is ideal for keeping your blankets smelling fresh. The lavender smell might help you relax and sleep when you bring your bed sheets and blankets out to use. Fabric and dried lavender flowers can be used to make a simple lavender sachet.
Geranium
This scent has a calming impact on the mind and is frequently referred to as a natural antidepressant. How frequently do you lose sleep due to worrying or being concerned about something? Geranium is a wonderful way to prime your bedsheets for better sleep. Its effect relaxes the mind and makes it easy to fall asleep more peacefully.
Cedar
Cedar is an excellent alternative for making your blankets smell fresh with an earthy, wood scent. Cedar offers a strong scent, and it permeates any bedsheet fabric to which it is applied. It can also help keep insects such as moths away from your blankets and absorb moisture in the storage space to avoid mold and mildew. To give the blankets and comforter a fresh woodsy scent, place cedar sachets or balls in them.
Sweet Marjoram
Sweet marjoram, formerly a favorite of upper-class ladies, is now one of the most pleasant and elegant bed sheet scents available. There are several types of marjoram, with sweet marjoram being advised for insomnia because of its relaxing properties.
Jasmine
This is another nighttime favorite, and you might remember it from your cup of tea. Jasmine has a sweet scent that has been associated with lowered anxiety and better sleep quality in studies. If you appreciate the scent of jasmine, it’s an easy plant to find and put at your bedside.
