Separate Mattress and Beds for Sound Sleep

Couples who invest in separate mattresses could be happier than those that sleep in the same bed.

It may not sound very romantic, but investing in two beds and sleeping on a separate mattress could in fact be the secret to a long and happy relationship. For many elderly couples, having separate beds is accepted socially, but for young newly weds, it might seem like a bizarre proposition to move into separate beds. There is still very much a social stigma for young couples to seek out separate mattresses.

Extra Beds for Happy Couples

But there have been countless reports, opinion pieces and research into the impact sharing a mattress can have on couples. If you are in a relationship, or you know someone in a relationship, you'll be familiar with the common complaints that get in the way of sleep – none of them romantic! Snoring, hogging the duvet, fighting for space, being unable to stretch or move freely, fidgeting...even the breathing of a partner can drive you potty. There are endless ways couples try and combat their mattress wars – ear plugs to block out snoring, sleeping pills or aids, hypnotism – but the easiest way to ensure a good night's sleep is to sleep alone. Buying extra beds and an additional mattress could save your marriage.

Selfish Sleeper? Invest in an Extra Mattress

If you think that sounds extreme, it's worth considering how you feel when you've not been sleeping well: irritable, moody, emotional. Lack of sleep will damage the quality of your life. It's all very well falling asleep together entwined in each others' arms but what happens when one of you shifts position? If you're a light sleeper, chances are you'll be rudely awakened, left feeling annoyed, angry and frustrated. Women seem to struggle to sleep more than men when it comes to cohabiting a mattress. And there are some women who say they've never had a good night's sleep sharing with any man, no matter how much they love them. It can end up in tears with the sofa becoming a permanent recluse. Simply investing in separate beds (or even having separate bedrooms entirely) will ensure couples are looking after their sleeping habits. According to the National Sleep Foundation, separate beds is a growing trend, with just 12% of married Americans sleeping alone in 2001, rising to 23% sleeping alone in 2005. It's estimated by some that custom built homes will have two master bedrooms by 2015 to cater for the need for two beds in one marriage.
