Mattress, Beds and Winter Warmers
As winter kicks in and utility bills continue to rise, it could be a good time to invest in a quality mattress – beds are the perfect place to hibernate when the icy nights descend.
It's during the long winter nights that you really appreciate your mattress. Beds are places of warmth, comfort and cosiness – or at least they should be. If your mattress or bed is no longer a tempting place, it could be time to invest in your bedroom. A memory foam mattress that moulds to your body shape for ultimate comfort and support could turn your tired bed into a place you can't wait to retreat to.
Snug as a Bug in Bed
When the evenings draw in, a cup of hot chocolate and TV in bed, snuggled on your mattress with your bed covers up to your chin sounds like the perfect night in. But if you have a tired old mattress full of unsightly stains, with bumps and lumps, beds can be just necessary (and not always pleasant) places to sleep rather than welcoming retreats. And if you have a snug mattress, beds are the hardest place to leave on a cold January morning. Having a warm, comfortable bed is crucial at any age and any time of year. But as utility bills continue to rise, some people are making the decision to cut down on electricity and gas use.
Mattress, Beds, Blankets and Bedclothes
In 2006, 25,000 people over 65 died from cold related illnesses. And as utility bills rise, there are fears that even more could be at risk this year. The cold can lead to serious health problems, including pneumonia, as well as strokes and heart attacks. At nighttime, ensuring your mattress, beds and bedrooms are warm and will stay warm is crucial. As well as investing in a high quality mattress, beds can be decked out with thicker togged duvets and extra blankets. A simple hot water bottle can make all the difference – it is hard to fall to sleep if you feel cold, and by heating up the mattress, you're improving your chances of a good, warm night's sleep.
Other Winter Warmer Tips:
Ensure your windows and doors are draught proof
Aim to keep your living quarters and bedroom at 70° F all day
Consider insulating your home if you haven't already
As well as heating, dress well – wearing the right clothing in bed is just as important as wrapping up when you go outside
Eat well and stop smoking
If you're a pensioner, get a flu jab
And if you are warm and safe, snug as a bug on your mattress, why not keep an eye on any elderly neighbours during the winter months?
