We all know that healthy sleep is important and that people who don’t sleep well don’t perform well during the day. This applies to everyone, from small children to those in their later years. If you don’t get the right bed and the right mattress, you could be missing out on the sleep you need.

When to buy a new bed and mattress

It’s time to buy a new bed and a new mattress if you’re waking up in the morning feeling that you didn’t really sleep that well. Of course, some sleep problems are caused by things that are going on in your life, but in the majority of cases, bad sleep is down to an old bed frame and a sagging mattress. If you’ve had your bed for 8-10 years and you’re feeling tired in the mornings, it’s probably time to look for something new.

Bed bases – the choice of beds is larger than ever before and new technology and manufacturing processes means that you should be able to find a bed that suits you perfectly. Team it with the right mattress and you have a great sleeping environment. Whether you choose sprung bases or slatted bases, the most important thing is that you find the bed that gives you the support you need.

Mattress types – you’ll be surprised at how much difference a good quality mattress can make. Before you choose which mattress is best for you, it’s worth while visiting some bed and mattress showrooms. Make sure you take a good look at all the mattresses available and leave yourself enough time to try them out – you wouldn’t buy a car without test-driving it, so don’t buy a mattress without lying down on it first. You don’t have to buy your mattress from the showroom – you can often get better deals online at places like Snug.

Mix and match – many people buy a bed/mattress combination that’s put together for them by the bed company, but you can buy your bed and mattress separately. If that’s your plan, do you research first. Make sure that you’re looking at bed bases that will work well with the mattress type you want to choose, and then get accurate measurements for the frame so that you know exactly what size of mattress to buy. It’s important that the bed and the mattress are the same size if you want to get the maximum amount of support.
