Isha Sabharwal | Founder of Nest Essentials
Most people think bad sleep is just part of getting older, being stressed, or having a busy life.But after sitting down with Isha Sabharwal, I realized a lot of us may be overlooking something much simpler:What we’re actually sleeping on.In this episode of The Best of White Rock, I sit down with the founder of Nest Essentials in Morgan Crossing to talk about sleep health, natural bedding, plastics in fabrics, eczema, overheating at night, mattress quality, and why your sleep environment may be impacting your health more than you realize.This conversation completely changed the way I think about bedding.We talk about:• Why polyester bedding may be causing skin irritation and overheating• The connection between sleep quality and overall health• How natural materials like cotton and linen can improve comfort and recovery• Why cheap sheets often cost more in the long run• The hidden issues with many mattresses and memory foam products• How sleep impacts stress, focus, recovery, mood, and energy• Why Nest Essentials focuses heavily on Canadian-made products• The philosophy behind building healthier sleep environments naturallyOne of the things I appreciated most about this conversation is that it wasn’t fear-based or pushy. Isha’s approach is practical, approachable, and centered around helping people make healthier choices one step at a time.And honestly, after this interview, I don’t think I’ll ever buy cheap sheets again.If you’ve ever struggled with poor sleep, overheating at night, eczema, skin irritation, or just want to create a healthier home environment, I think you’ll get a lot out of this episode.🌐 Check out Nest Essentials:https://nestessentials.ca/📍 Visit them at:15745 Croydon Dr #122, Surrey, BC V3Z 2L5📸 Follow on Instagram:@nestessentials_🚀 And if you’re a local business owner, entrepreneur, creator, or community leader doing interesting things in White Rock or South Surrey, apply to be featured here:https://www.bestofwhiterock.ca/get-featured#WhiteRock #SouthSurrey #SleepHealth #CanadianBusiness #NestEssentials
