As the long days of summer fade and crisp autumn nights settle in, our bodies naturally shift into a different rhythm. The changing of seasons isn’t just about swapping swimsuits for sweaters—it can also have a major impact on how well we sleep.
Shorter Days, Longer Nights
With the sun setting earlier, our internal clocks (circadian rhythms) adjust. The increase in darkness triggers the release of melatonin, the hormone that helps us fall asleep. That means autumn is a perfect season to reset your sleep schedule and make sure you’re getting the rest your body needs.
Cooler Temperatures for Better Sleep
Studies show that most people sleep best in a cool room—around 60–67°F. After the heat of summer, autumn’s cooler nights create the ideal sleeping environment. A cozy comforter and breathable mattress materials can help you take advantage of the season’s natural sleep benefits.
Allergies and Sleep Quality
Fall can also bring seasonal allergies from ragweed or mold, which may disrupt your rest. A high-quality mattress that resists dust mites and provides proper support can reduce nighttime congestion and help you breathe easier.
Transitioning Your Sleep Space
As you prepare your home for autumn—pumpkins on the porch, warm colors in the living room—don’t forget your bedroom. This is the perfect time to evaluate your mattress and bedding. Is your mattress more than 8 years old? Are you waking up stiff or sore? A new mattress can make all the difference in aligning your body and giving you refreshing, uninterrupted sleep.
Fall Into Better Sleep
Autumn is about balance: cozy nights, crisp mornings, and time to recharge before the busy holiday season. By creating the right sleep environment, you’ll not only feel more rested—you’ll be ready to enjoy all the best parts of the season, from apple orchards to football games.
At Mattress Warehouse, we’re here to help you make that seasonal transition smoother. Stop by our showroom this fall and discover mattresses designed for every sleep style—so you can wake up refreshed and ready to embrace the season ahead.
