Why do you love bottle-shaped blankets in France?

In a world of constant stress, anxiety and chronic fatigue, good quality sleep is becoming increasingly important. “If you want to sleep better, choose a sleeping duvet in the shape of a bottle,” the French advise.



What kind of blanket is this, why is it needed and how to improve the quality of sleep, the answer is in our article.

Everything connected with France, a priori seems to us exquisite and gallant. But some features of French life put foreigners at a dead end.





You can experience this by buying a French duvet. Fashionable colors, pleasant fabric and also ... an incomprehensible tapering ledge on the side where the blanket is inserted. And no instructions!



In order to somehow understand and shed light on the purpose of a mysterious object, you will have to properly “teach” Google. The French call it housse de couette cheminée, or pipe duvet.

It was also necessary to meet the name of the duvet-bottle (the narrow part resembles the neck of the bottle) and the French baguette (who is closer).



In Russia and in other European countries, bed linen of this form can not be found with fire during the day, and in France it is common and enjoys constant popularity. At the same time, local doctors say that a duvet-bottle is also the key to quality sleep.

Purpose of "bottleneck" Through the narrowed lower part of the duvet, that is, through the "neck", a blanket is inserted. Then this neck is tucked under the mattress. As a result, the blanket is fixed, the movements of the sleeper are limited, and the always covered legs do not freeze.



All this, according to the French, leads to a calmer, and therefore healthy sleep. You're gonna say you can tuck in a blanket like that in a regular blanket. But it requires some physical effort. In addition, a blanket with a duvet will need to find a larger size (so that there is enough space to bend).

With a duvet bottle, this is much easier. After all, only a thin “neck” is filled under the mattress. In addition, it is very convenient: you do not need to fix the blanket every time. It is already fixed under the mattress, which means that it will always be in perfect condition.

We assume that this way to make a bed is good in Europe, where it is customary to save on heating and in apartments quite cool. In our houses, they drown all winter so much that it is not something to poke, but you can use a blanket and not use at all.



It is suitable for those who have very cold feet and hands, who sleep restlessly and often opens up, who likes a perfectly made bed.

By the way, hygienists claim that the habit of always making the bed immediately after waking up can harm our health. Are they right and what is it, the perfect order in the bedroom? "Site" He will give you the evidence and you will decide.

It is worth noting that it is more difficult to buy such a sleeping duvet recently, even in France. Rectangular analogues are cheaper, besides it became more profitable to import them from other countries.
