What Do Fireplaces Have To Do With Wellbeing?

We have always believed in the power of fire - to warm. To relax. To draw people together. Beyond the relaxation we all know, does fire have the power to make us feel better? We had to find out. We approached the Universities of Alabama and Illinois, two institutions leading the way in the study of health and wellbeing, and established endowments to help propel their research. In separate studies, a fireplace showed statistically significant impacts.

The Fireplace Effect

A fireplace provides so much more than warmth. Sitting by a fireplace, even an electric one, can lower blood pressure and heart rate, helping with relaxation, and lowering the risk of stress-related health issues like heart disease. It can also support mental wellbeing, which is important as we age.

Fire Relaxes

At the University of Alabama, studies revealed that 15 minutes in front of a fireplace can actually lower blood pressure and decrease heart rate. Read the study.

A Fireplace Can Promote:

Physical Relaxation
Stress Relief
Reduced Risk of Stress-Related Health Issues

Fire Stimulates

At the University of Illinois, studies revealed that in front of a fire, overall cognitive performance improved by 12 percent, and adaptivity to enrichment-seeking activities (e.g. playing a game) increased.
