September marks the start of the annual sleep awareness campaign, Sleeptember. Focussing on offering advice on the basic and fundamental human requirement that is sleep, the Sleep Charity offers solutions and tips on how to improve and stimulate a good nights rest. Before we dive into the necessity of having a supportive and comfortable mattress, here are some of the UK’s sleep statistics and why it’s vital for good physical, mental, and emotional health to have good sleep.

Simple lifestyle changes can hugely impact the quality of your sleep. There isn’t a magic number for how much sleep you should have a night; it’s about quality over quantity. One bad night’s sleep can affect our concentration, mood, and alertness, and long-term sleep deprivation is linked to a number of serious health problems. Tips like avoiding technology before bed, establishing a routine, temperature regulation, and no caffeine 4-5 hours before bedtime can dramatically improve your sleep.
Mattress Investment
The foundation to a good night’s sleep is a supportive and comfortable mattress. A superior mattress is less likely to disturb your sleep, avoiding aches and fatigue when you wake up. If your sleep is suffering due to an uncomfortable or worn mattress, it’s imperative you invest in a new mattress. The Bed MOTO Quiz by the NBF will help you establish if it’s time for a new bed.
We spend an average of 20,000 hours in bed over 7 years, so it’s worth taking the time to test and try out a variety of mattresses to find the right choice for you. Investing in a bed from a reputable manufacturer that offers a good and honest product will ensure your money is well spent.
So, spend some time in our stores to find the best mattress for you. Whether you desire a memory foam mattress or a natural British-grown wool and cotton blend mattress, our extensive selection of mattresses and beds is designed to suit every home and budget.
