As an ultramarathon runner, Beatrice Lessi knows that restful sleep is not a luxury, but a necessity. “After pushing my body to the limit, sleep is essential for recovery and regeneration,” explains Beatrice. ”If I'm not well rested, it affects my running performance, concentration and mood. I need a sleep environment that supports my performance – and that includes what I wear to bed.”
With winter just around the corner, Beatrice decided to try Dagsmejan's Stay Warm merino wool collection to see if it could help her stay comfortable on cold nights. Merino wool is known for its unique temperature-regulating properties and is popularly used in outdoor sportswear. Beatrice was excited to try a sleepwear version.
The benefits of merino wool for sleep
Having used merino wool in running apparel for years, Beatrice was already familiar with its benefits: temperature regulation, moisture management, and odor resistance. “Merino wool is amazing. It keeps you warm without overheating, and even if you sweat, you don't feel sticky or uncomfortable,” she explains. This time, however, Beatrice was curious to see how these properties would enhance her sleep routine.
After spending several nights in Dagsmejan's merino sleepwear, she was pleasantly surprised by how much it improved her relaxation and sleep.
First impressions: softness and warmth
“From the first time I put them on, I was impressed by the softness of the material,” Beatrice recalls. ”I'm used to merino wool from outdoor clothing, but this is a whole new level of comfort. It feels like a gentle embrace – perfect for relaxing after a long day of training.”
Dagsmejan's blend of merino wool and other natural fibers makes the material incredibly soft against the skin while improving its thermal properties. The sleepwear is designed to retain warmth without creating a stuffy feeling, and to adjust to body temperature, preventing overheating. “Staying warm in the winter without feeling overheated is important to me,” says Beatrice. ”This collection really hits the spot; I wake up feeling comfortable, but never sweaty.”
Moisture management and odor control
Another advantage that Beatrice appreciates is the way Dagsmejan's merino sleepwear wicks away moisture. “For athletes like me, overheating and sweating are often unavoidable, even while sleeping,” she admits. “But with this sleepwear, I feel dry throughout the night and don't wake up feeling cold or clammy.”
The natural properties of merino wool allow it to absorb moisture and release it into the air, keeping the skin dry. It is also odor resistant, so it can be worn multiple times without having to be washed. “Knowing that it doesn't retain odors is huge, especially since I no longer have to worry about constantly washing it,” notes Beatrice. “It's long-lasting and stays fresh, even after a few wears.”
Ideal for winter relaxation
Beatrice wears her Dagsmejan merino sleepwear not only for sleeping, but also for lounging and relaxing, especially during the winter months. “In the evenings when I want to unwind, it's the first thing I put on. It's stylish, incredibly comfortable and makes me feel like I can relax,” she says. ”I don't have to choose between warmth and comfort – it gives me both.”
For athletes or anyone who wants to upgrade their sleepwear with the performance benefits of merino wool, Dagsmejan's Stay Warm collection offers a well-thought-out, high-quality choice that combines comfort with functionality. “Dagsmejan has created something special here,” Beatrice concludes. ”It's the ultimate way to stay warm, comfortable and well-rested – a must-have for my sleep routine this season.”
