Sleep Essentials for Regenerative Rest

Unrivaled Group Fitness classes. Unparalleled Personal Training. Studios that inspire you to perform and luxury amenities that keep you feeling your best.

Upgrade your bedroom and wake up feeling refreshed and ready.

A high performance lifestyle is near impossible without considering sleep.  If you don't get quality rest, you might have less endurance, react slower, and not be able to lift as much weight as usual, according to research published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine. This noteworthy relationship between rest and recovery is exactly why each room at an Equinox Hotel is designed for optimal sleep, with blackout blinds that shield you from disruptive light, complete soundproofing, and temperature-regulating mattresses, pillows, sheets, and more.

However, if a stay at the top-rated luxury hotel in NYC isn’t in the near future, you can get the same restorative slumber experience in your own bedroom with curated products found in Equinox Hotels. After spending a restful eight hours with the plush duvet insert, breathable sheets, or supportive mattress, you’ll feel physically and mentally ready to tackle any workouts (or other life challenges) that lie ahead.

This handmade mattress is created with natural materials, including coconut fiber, cotton fiber, and horsehair, that support your body’s alignment, as well as latex, so the bed contours to your shape. The result: A medium-firm feel, which may be the best for promoting sleep comfort, quality, and spinal alignment, a systematic review published in Sleep Health shows. Plus, these materials absorb moisture while you snooze, helping to manage your body temperature and keep damp skin at bay.

Filled with white goose down, this duvet insert offers just the right amount of plush and is made to prevent heat loss as you sleep, thanks to the material’s significant thermal insulation properties, according to research published in the Textile Research Journal. The comforter also features a soft cotton sateen cover and is hypoallergenic, so folks with allergies are less likely to wake up sneezing in the dead of night.

This hypoallergenic pillow features a smooth, 100-percent cotton shell and is stuffed with a fluffy mixture of goose down and goose feathers. It’s also available in two fill levels — medium and firm — so you can choose the bedding that feels best for your body. It may seem trivial, but choosing a pillow that keeps your neck, chest, and lower back in alignment can help prevent back, neck, and shoulder strain, according to the University of Rochester Medical Center.

If you don't need a brand-new mattress, you can still enhance your sleep experience by investing in a top mattress. Just like the traditional Equinox Hotels mattress, this topper is made with natural materials, such as coconut fiber, cactus fiber, and horsehair, that keep your body temperature in check.

Unlike polyester, cotton is breathable and incredibly absorbent, research shows. In turn, Equinox Hotels’ 100-percent cotton bedding will keep you cool and dry while you sleep, even in the scorching summer months. Thanks to the high thread count, the sheets feel soft — not scratchy — against your skin, helping you stay comfortable throughout the night.

To round out your restorative sleep space, lay your mattresson Equinox’s minimalist bed platform. The pine slats encourage airflow, creating a cooler sleeping environment, while the dark stain of the beech wood creates a moody, relaxation-promoting atmosphere; studies suggest that cool colors increase arousal less than warm colors, and neutral earth tones tend to be relaxing, as they’re reminiscent of nature, according to research published in SAGE Open.

Before you settle into bed, treat yourself to a hot shower with Grown Alchemist’s Body Cleanser, a stress-relieving wash scented with tangerine and neroli. The gel is infused with bergamot, willow bark, and chamomile to gently exfoliate, as well as jojoba, macadamia, and other oils to nourish the skin. The natural ingredients will calm your restless mind, and the warmth of the water may deepen sleep and decrease the amount of time it takes you to fall asleep, according to research published in Frontiers in Neuroscience. While you’ll find an exclusive version of the cleanser in Equinox Hotels, this product contains many of the same ingredients, save for Tasmanian pepper, which helps warm the body.
