Sleep is the foundation of recovery #athleteschoice

Jul 22, 2022

You go to bed at night and expect the pillow to be soft, the sheets to be clean, and when you wake up in the morning you are fresh and full of energy. In fact, most people don't even think about it and just hope to get to work and activities on time in the morning. But how often do we think about the fact that sleep is a kind of restoration process for the body and its systems.

Everything is interconnected.

It is a well-known truth that exercise improves the quality of your sleep, but perhaps less well-known is the fact that sleep also makes exercise more efficient and effective.

Athletes know that sleep cannot be overestimated. Sleep is sacred and you should make the most of it! The latter determines how effective your workout yesterday was today and how likely you are to get injured tomorrow. We are pleased that more and more Estonian professional and amateur athletes are reaching out to SleepAngel products. This shows that over time, amateur athletes are also becoming more aware and caring about their health.

Top athletes prefer clean, restorative sleep

In sports, details and every little action or omission count. In order to achieve top results and be able to constantly improve as an athlete, you need to think through the foundation very carefully. Nutrition, sleep, recovery, training, etc. No athlete wants to wake up in a hotel on the morning of a competition with a stuffy nose or, even worse, a viral illness. Especially careful athletes carry a SleepAngel pillow with them everywhere. During competitions, on trips and in hotels, because our pillows ensure a dust-, allergy- and bacteria-free sleeping environment. In this way, the athlete minimizes the risk of infection in shared sleeping areas.

A normal pillow is a busy place. Dust mites, mold, and fungi thrive on your dead skin cells, sweat, and more. A normal pillow also absorbs and stores all the residue from your creams and hair care products. SleepAngel products are hermetically sealed. Sweat, other liquids, dust, bacteria, and even viruses cannot get inside the pillow or other bedding products. This gives athletes every confidence they need before a competition, especially in hotels and shared sleeping areas.

How high does SleepAngel fly?

Our pillows travel safely around the world with the top road cycling club Movistar Team. The pillows are always loyal companions of the Estonian biathlon team, and track and field athletes, basketball players and football players also make their sleep comfortable with SleepAngel. Of course, this list includes many other amateur and professional athletes.

Feedback from Estonia's best athletes

Basketball player Martin Dorbek: “I liked that the pillow didn't sag or change its shape after prolonged use. It was also a big plus to know that no allergens or liquids enter the pillow, but the pillows stay clean inside. I really like it and I dare to praise it!”

Basketball player Kregor Hermet: “ I am very satisfied with my SleepAngel pillow, the firmness level is perfect. In the past, my neck would sometimes hurt or be stiff when I woke up in the morning, but this has never happened to me with the SleepAngel pillow. Probably because the pillow adjusts exactly to my head and neck, no matter what position. I recommend it to everyone!.”

Hammer thrower Kati Ojaloo: “ I really like my Sleepangel pillow. I haven’t noticed a big change, but I know that the pillow I sleep on is really clean. My favorite is the travel pillow. Exactly as big as I need and as small as possible. It’s something I’ll never travel without again. I travel primarily to camps and competitions, so sleep is very important in order to recover better. The travel pillow is ergonomic and I never get a stiff neck while sleeping on it.”
