Mattress and Beds – Money Well Spent

As the economy boomed, our houses became financial investments and properties that made us money. But the plummeting house prices and credit crunch has meant more families are reevaluating their houses, and putting the heart back into their home. More people are unable to afford to move, and as a result more homeowners are finding ways of revamping their properties. Bedrooms are a good place to start – our beds and mattress tend to be the last thing we think about, and yet they are the most important part of your home. Our beds are where we ideally spend seven or eight hours a night – they are where we relax, rest and restore our body and mind, helping us cope with life's challenges. A lumpy mattress or broken beds are not good for our physical or mental well being.

Mattress, Beds and Banks

The idea that we are re-evaluating what is important in our lives during the credit crunch is an appealing one. More homeowners are putting aside profits and greed, and realising that a comfortable house with a sense of home is perhaps more important. Simple pleasures can transform a busy life that is pulled in all directions by work and stress. Finding the most comfortable mattress and beautiful beds and creating a nightly retreat where you can unwind and feel warm, safe and happy is important to help you achieve a healthy work-life balance.

Cash under the Mattress

It may be tempting for some homeowners to only consider their mattress as a place to hide their money. As more banks struggle and collapse, you can forgive people for thinking their mattress might be a safer place. But by seeing your bedroom as a haven, a place of tranquillity and comfort, rather than worrying about cash and investments, you'll probably achieve a more restful night's sleep. In fact, if you are using your mattress to hide money, you have more reason for a restless night – a survey by the building society Halifax found that the four most common places to hide money are 1) under the mattress, 2) in your sock drawer, 3) at the top of your wardrobe or 4) in your bedside table. The logic is that we feel having our valuables where we sleep means they are safer – but these are the top four places burglars will look! And standard insurance policies only cover for the first £500 stolen. So don't turn your beds and mattress into a place you stash money – keep your boudoir as a place of comfort, rest and relaxation.
