Best Plants for Sleeping Well

It’s not a secret that staying away from blue light, meditating, having a good nighttime routine, and having a supportive and comfortable mattress are all ways to help you sleep better at night. However, did you know plants are a natural way to help you fall asleep faster? Some plants release calming scents, help block lights, and even make your space feel cozier making it easier for your body to relax and wind down for the night. So, if you are looking to update your decor and have an all-natural way to help you drift off to sleep faster. Here’s The Mattress Hub’s top 8 list of plants to have in your bedroom as part of your journey to sleep well and live well.

1. Pothos: This plant will give your room a splash of bright color, and does well with only a little sunlight and watering once a week. With the ivy likeness of the leaves, you can hang this from a hanging basket and keep it out of the way. The Pothos plant is a great air purifier and easy to take care of.
2. Peace Lily: These beautiful white flowers are also great air purifiers, and increase roof humidity by up to 5%. This can help you breathe better at night. They also do well in low light and only need to be watered once a week. They can be toxic to pets if eaten, so make sure to keep them out of your fur baby’s way.
3. Lavender: These are great for a deep sleep. Lavender has been proven to lower heart rates, blood pressure, and stress levels. This can all lead to drifting off into a deeper sleep quickly. These plants need bright light, so they’re best in a bedroom that has a sunny spot available. 
4. Jade: The Jade plant represents wealth, prosperity, and friendship and can help reduce carbon dioxide at night. These plants also increase humidity which helps you sleep better at night and improves air quality to help your breathing while you sleep.
5. Jasmine: This plant is known for its sweet aroma, keeps your room refreshed, and promotes a more restful and comforting sleep. It’s also been shown to reduce anxiety levels and improve the quality of sleep you’ll get. These need to be placed in a windowsill and watered regularly while it’s flowering.
6. Snake Plant: This plant is great for filling empty corners of your room, and can handle low light and water making it easy to care for. These plants also purify the air by emitting oxygen and removing other harmful chemicals like formaldehyde that is often found in hairspray.
7. Aloe Vera: This plant isn’t just used to treat burns. It absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen to help you sleep better at night by cleaning the air. NASA also named it one of the best plants for air purification. If it’s NASA approved then it’s also Mattress Hub approved.
