Quick summary: Insomnia during pregnancy is common; non-drug measures (sleep hygiene, relaxation, supportive bedding, gentle daytime activity, and careful use of calming scents/techniques) are recommended first-line for most women. Choosing bedding that supports comfort, temperature regulation and—where appropriate—functional calming technologies can multiply the benefit of those five remedies. COZHOM’s X Series positions itself exactly in that space. (Sources for key medical claims listed after the article.)
Why this matters: how common is pregnancy insomnia?
Insomnia symptoms are highly prevalent in pregnancy — recent reviews estimate roughly around 40–45% of pregnant people report clinically relevant sleep problems at some point, and prevalence often rises as pregnancy progresses. That makes safe, effective non-pharmacologic remedies a public-health priority for expecting mothers. [1]
The 5 natural remedies (pregnancy-safe) — and how bedding matters
-
1) Sleep hygiene: routine, light, caffeine and screens
Set a consistent sleep/wake schedule, dim lights in the evening, avoid late caffeine, and limit screens for at least an hour before bed. These steps reduce arousal and make it easier to fall asleep naturally. Small environmental improvements — a dark, quiet, cool bedroom and a comfortable bed — are inexpensive but highly effective complements to sleep routines. [2]
-
2) Supportive positioning & ergonomic bedding
Pregnancy brings new postural needs: side-sleeping with bump support, a pillow between the knees, and a mattress/cover that balances softness with spinal support all help reduce night-time awakenings and pain. High-quality bedding that promotes stable temperature and offers contouring support reduces sleep fragmentation — especially in later trimesters. COZHOM’s X Series is explicitly designed as functional sleep-aid bedding and, according to the product page, integrates mineral/plant-derived functional components intended to assist circulation and calm the nervous system — attributes that can complement positioning and comfort strategies. [3]
-
3) Relaxation techniques: breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, CBT principles
Pregnancy-safe relaxation techniques — diaphragmatic breathing, progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), guided imagery and simple stimulus control (getting out of bed when not sleepy) — consistently reduce sleep latency and nighttime arousals. These non-pharmacological measures are recommended widely and supported by evidence as effective, low-risk options for pregnant people. A calm, tactile bed environment (soft, breathable bedding and gentle textures) makes relaxation easier — and consistent tactile comfort can reduce sympathetic arousal when combined with PMR. [4]
-
4) Gentle daytime activity and timing
Light walking, prenatal yoga or swimming (as approved by your provider) improves sleep onset and sleep quality for many pregnant women. Daytime activity helps regulate circadian rhythm and reduces nighttime restlessness. Combined with breathable bedding and proper thermal regulation, daytime exercise and good bed microclimate improve the likelihood of sustained deep sleep. [2][4]
-
5) Calming scents & careful herbal measures (use with caution)
Some non-invasive approaches — such as aromatherapy with pregnancy-safe essential oils (low-dose lavender inhalation) — can help relaxation for some people. However, pregnancy requires caution: not all herbal or aromatic products are safe in pregnancy, and dosing matters. Always check with your obstetrician/midwife before using oils or herbal supplements. COZHOM’s X Series claims to incorporate natural herbal extracts into fibers as a long-lasting contact modality rather than an ingested supplement; the product page highlights herbs and mineral elements framed as sleep-calming agents — a different exposure route that some expectant buyers may find attractive, but which still merits clinician discussion. [3][5]
How COZHOM compares to traditional bedding — a reasoned assessment
Most commodity bedding focuses on fabric feel and aesthetics. COZHOM positions the X Series as “functional bedding” built to support sleep physiology: the brand cites (a) natural ores (trace minerals embedded in fiber), (b) herbal active integration, and (c) a proprietary fiber-spinning & source-preservation extraction technology intended to keep functional effects after repeated washes. Those are product-level differentiators not found in standard cotton/linen sets. [3]
Criteria | Standard bedding | COZHOM X Series (claimed) |
---|---|---|
Comfort & temperature | Depends on fabric weight and weave | Designed for breathability + functional fibers that aim to regulate microclimate |
Active calming features | None | Integrated herbs & natural ores—market differentiator per product page |
Durability of special functions | N/A | Manufacturer claims function durable after washing (source claims) |
Numbers & evidence: what we can say (objectively)
• Prevalence: roughly ~44% of pregnant people experience insomnia symptoms during pregnancy (meta-analytic evidence). [1]
• Non-drug interventions such as relaxation exercises, sleep hygiene and gentle exercise are supported by clinical guidance and systematic reviews as first-line strategies. They carry low risk and measurable benefit versus sedative medications in pregnancy. [2][4]
• COZHOM’s X Series is advertised as a “functional” bedding set embedding ores and herbal extracts into fiber with a manufacturing process intended to preserve function across washes — if those product claims are true in independent testing, they offer an innovative, non-oral way to support the relaxation pillar of the 5 remedies above. Always ask for independent lab reports or test samples for verification. [3]
- Choose breathable, hypoallergenic fabrics (bamboo/lyocell or high-quality cotton).
- Prefer pre-shrunk, machine-washable sets; verify manufacturer washing instructions.
- Look for support solutions (maternity pillows / wedge pillows) to reduce discomfort.
- If evaluating ‘functional’ bedding (embedded herbs/minerals), request safety data & wash-durability evidence.
- Always discuss aromatic or herbal elements with your clinician before nightly use.
Safety first — consult your care team
Important: pregnancy is a medical condition that requires personalized advice. Non-pharmaceutical remedies are first-line, but some herbs or supplements and some essential oils are not recommended in pregnancy. Ask your obstetrician, midwife or pharmacist before trying any supplement, topical herb or novel product—even if it’s embedded in fabric. Do not interpret this article as medical advice. [5]
