Who doesn’t love small indoor fountains? They are an ideal accent piece and can really tie your living room together. But did you know that your indoor fountain can do much more than just sit there and look pretty?

It’s true! In addition to providing the perfect centerpiece for your coffee table, your tabletop fountain can provide a number of surprising health benefits to help you improve your mind and body. Check out this article to find out how small indoor water fountains are healthy and can help make you feel as good as your living room looks.

Health Benefits of Indoor Water Fountains

1. Improve Your Sleep

Nothing is more relaxing than the sound of running water. In fact, many sleep soundtracks include the sounds of flowing streams or trickling water. Placing a tabletop fountain on your nightstand can help lull you to sleep.

Tabletop fountains produce waterfall sounds that are soft and repetitive. These sounds create a tranquil atmosphere that can make it easier to fall asleep. Another benefit on an indoor water fountain is that they can help drown out annoying sounds like dogs barking, traffic or noisy neighbors so you can sleep peacefully.

2. Relieves Stress

Not only can the calming sounds of a fountain help you sleep, they can also help you de-stress.

According to a study conducted by the University of Sussex, the sounds of nature, including running water, can help dramatically lower your stress levels. These healthy indoor water fountains sounds can also help you improve your concentration and focus by drowning out annoying sounds and creating a white noise effect to help you focus on your work.

We recommend these fountains for soothing stress relief:

• Sunnydaze 5-Step Rock Falls Tabletop Fountain with LED Lights, 14 Inch Tall – This unique tabletop rock waterfall fountain provides modern flair and soothing sounds as water pours from tier to tier, producing relaxing sounds.

3. Restores Moisture

During the long winter months, the air in your home can quickly dry up leading to dry skin and headaches. The benefit of having an indoor water fountain means you can help relieve these problems by adding moisture back into the air, and unlike traditional humidifiers you don’t need to constantly refill your fountain, the water simply continues to recirculate.

In order to humidify the room properly, choose a fountain whose size is proportionate to the room. Larger rooms will require a larger fountain while smaller fountains can humidify smaller rooms.

4. Purify Your Air

When we think about air pollution, most of us picture smog-filled air in traffic-filled city streets, but the air inside your home can also be filled with everyday air pollutants like dust, pet dander and dead skin cells.

These pollutants are positive ions and feature a positive charge which makes them lightweight and causes them to float through the air. Adding a healthy indoor water fountain to your home will purify the air by releasing negative ions which neutralize the positive ions without using expensive filters that need to be constantly replaced. This makes your air healthier and cleaner.

We recommend these fountains to help purify your air:

• Sunnydaze Ascending Slate Tabletop Water fountain with LED Light – This unique slate water feature has a polished stone ball topper and makes an elegant centerpiece for a coffee table.

• Sunnydaze Cascading Caves Waterfall Tabletop Fountain with LED Lights, 14-Inch Tall – This fountain features a dramatic, natural appearance as well as convenient built-in LED lights making it the perfect addition to any room.
