Norvegr improves menopausal sleep naturally
Forget gimmicky cooling sheets; Norvegr’s heat-regulating, uniquely light duvets and pillows are loved by royals and rock stars and use nothing but the magic of the finest, pure down.
Light as a cloud
The first thing that people notice about Norvegr duvets is how light they are; many disbelieve they will be kept warm by such a light duvet.
​
“All our customers react to the lightness of the product. It’s so airy and soft, it’s surprising” explains Nils Stene, CEO of Norvegr and the third Stene to sit at the company’s helm.
Pure down
100% pure down is nature’s finest bedding, especially for hot sleepers. This is because the down clusters are the most breathable material, promoting air flow to regulate temperature both ways. Nils says: “It can regulate your temperature in a way that most people aren’t used to. It can warm you up when you need it, cool you down when you need it, all while staying as light as a cloud.”
Unique construction
Nils says: “My family has been perfecting Norvegr’s signature channel construction since 1956. Using channels instead of box-stitching and cross-seams allows air to move freely from chin to toe. Combined with the quality of the down, this provides better flow of heat, moisture and increased breathability, creating a product that ensures an uninterrupted night of rest for all places and all seasons.
Dual fill for couples
Each duvet is tailor-made for its owner, based on a thorough consultation on their sleep habits and preferences. Couples can have their halves filled differently to their exact preferences. The duvets are returned to Norway every ten years to be fully restored, so the fill can be adjusted over a lifetime as sleep temperatures (or partners) change.
​
Bonus tip - avoid high thread count!
Bad news for high thread-count bedding; it’s bad for menopausal sleep. It’s well known that synthetic or poor quality bedding restricts air flow, causing sleepers to overheat and wake regularly, but so can a high thread count.
Nils shared this advice with me recently: "We've been taught that the higher the thread count the better the bedding. Yes, it does result in a smooth finish which is important, but a high thread count actually makes the material less breathable and restricts air flow."
​
"Breathability is hugely important for bedding, especially in the summer, to regulate temperature and prevent mould and mites.I always recommend choosing high quality bedding made from all natural materials, but with a lower thread count so the air can move throughout.”
“Quality and luxury are crucial, so I suggest a percale weave which feels smooth and crisp and is the most breathable weave."
"Our customers invest in their duvets for the best sleep and a breathable cover maximises results. A poor pillowcase or duvet cover will undo all the goodness of a quality down duvet or pillow."
