What to Look for In a Bedside Water Carafe
When selecting a water carafe, there are several important factors to consider to ensure it meets your needs effectively. Here’s what to look for:
Material
- Glass: Offers aesthetic appeal and does not retain odors or flavors. But, it can be fragile and may require careful handling.
- Stainless Steel: More durable and often insulated, which helps keep liquids hot or cold for longer periods. Look for double-walled options for better thermal retention.
- Plastic: Lightweight and less prone to breakage, but may retain flavors and odors over time. If choosing plastic, ensure it is BPA-free.
Design and Functionality
- Spout Design: A well-designed spout allows for smooth pouring without drips. Look for models that have a narrow spout for better control.
- Handle Comfort: Ensure the handle is comfortable and provides a good grip, especially if you plan to pour frequently.
- Capacity: Choose a size that fits your typical serving needs—common sizes range from 1 liter (about 4 cups) to larger options for gatherings.
Ease of Cleaning
- Removable Parts: Carafes with removable lids or parts are easier to clean. Check if the carafe is dishwasher safe or requires hand washing.
- Smooth Surfaces: Avoid intricate designs that can trap residue; simpler shapes are often easier to maintain.

3 Most Stylish Bedside Glass Water Carafes
Why the MAYU Swirl Carafes Are Superior
The MAYU Swirl carafes are made from hand-blown borosilicate glass that's lightweight and dishwasher safe. The waterdrop shape removes stagnating zones, so the water is always flowing freely.
The 1.5-liter capacity carafe sits on a porcelain base that has a vortex generator which swirls the water, and automatic load and touch sensors. This water restructuring device is specially designed to improve the water quality by restructuring its molecules (H20 > H2O3) with vortexing and aeration.
Vortexing your water restores it to its natural structure. Through the swirling motion, you areate the water in the carafe. The movement evaporates volatile compounds like chlorine.
It also raises the pH level, making it slightly more alkaline, which can:
- Improve bone health
- Soothe acid reflux
- Reduce high blood pressure
- Lower cholesterol
- Reduce high blood sugar
- Enhance hydration
- Increase longevity
Another great benefit of aerated water is its improved taste, which is on the sweeter side. The MAYU Swirl carafe works with all sorts of drinking water to enhance its physical properties and chemical characteristics.
Optimal Hydration Within Hand's Reach
Having a glass carafe on your bedside table is an easy and convenient way to hydrate with re-energized water. Apart from the benefits of vortexed water, drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning has various health benefits like increasing skin radiance, improving metabolism, and strengthening the immune system.
Because it's sterile and doesn't leach any chemicals or flavors, glass is always recommended for water storage over other materials. While drinking water from the tap might be safe, adding the water to a Swirl carafe means you get extra added health benefits while staying hydrated. Plus, the beautiful aesthetic of the mesmerizing vortex will inspire an increase in water intake.

FAQs
Is it bad to leave water by my bedside?
It's generally not a problem to have a glass of water by your bedside. However, if you're prone to spills or accidents, it might be best to keep it on a stable surface.
How often should I wash my water carafe?
Wash your water carafe at least once a week to prevent the buildup of bacteria. If you notice any mold or unpleasant odors, clean it more frequently.
Does a carafe keep the water cold?
Typically, a carafe does not keep water cold for an extended period. If you want your water to stay cold, consider using a thermos or insulated container.
What is the difference between a carafe and a decanter?
While both carafe and decanter refer to vessels used to serve beverages, they often have different purposes. A carafe is typically used for serving water or other beverages, while a decanter is more commonly used for serving wine or spirits, allowing the liquid to aerate and enhance its flavor.
