The 3 Bedding Colors You'll Really Want to Avoid If You Want a Better Night's Sleep, According to a 'Sensory Color' Expert

Image of a bed with a burnt orange headboard and read bedding in a small, beige bedroom. There are side tables on either side of the bed with lamps on them and a window on the left wall.

No room in the house is as sacred as the bedroom. It's a personal haven where we lay our heads to rest each night for a moment of restoration and rejuvenation. But did you know that the wrong bedding (specifically, the wrong bedding color) can disturb this divine ritual, causing restlessness and alert energy rather than serenity?

"Color is largely subjective, and we all experience it differently," says sensory color expert Pippa Jameson. "That said, many of us have a consistent physiological response to certain tones." This is because color isn't just aesthetics; it supports mood and function. "When you choose color with the function of a space in mind, it works harder for you," adds Pippa. For example, you want a bedding color that promotes sleep, not socialization or stress.
