Beyond just a place to rest our heads, our beds are sanctuaries of comfort, security, and rejuvenation. The feeling of safety and cosiness in our beds goes beyond mere physical comfort; it’s deeply rooted in our psychology and overall wellbeing.
At the base of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is the need for physical safety. Feeling safe, particularly in our resting space, is fundamental to our sense of wellbeing. Our beds are where we’re most vulnerable; ensuring they’re a haven of safety is paramount for our mental peace.
The feeling of being ‘tucked in’ or cocooned is reminiscent of our earliest memories in the womb and as infants swaddled by caregivers. This feeling can provide emotional comfort, invoking feelings of care, love, and nurturing.
It’s a retreat from the outside world, a place to read, think, and even work. A cosy bed can act as a personal sanctuary, offering respite from daily stresses.
The importance of feeling safe and cosy in our beds transcends immediate comfort. It taps into our basic needs, influences our mental and physical health, and serves as a grounding constant in our lives.
Investing in this feeling is, in essence, investing in our health, happiness, and holistic wellbeing.
