Organised by The Sleep Council, National Bed Month aims to remind us all of why a sound sleep is good for our health. Studies have shown sleeping well leads to a healthier, happier and even longer life.
A good bed and relaxing bedroom environment are key to good sleep; you can check to see if your bedroom meets the right criteria by checking here: http://www.perfectsleepenvironment.org.uk/
Something you may have overlooked is the age of your bed – there is strong evidence to indicate beds over 7 years old are very much less comfortable than new beds, even if they seem fine – you get used to them over time and don’t realise how uncomfy they are.
This has got me thinking about mine now, I know it’s over 10 years old but it cost a fortune when I bought it so I’m sort of expecting it to last longer… probably not sensible I now realise.
For information on why you should change your bed after 7 years read The Seven Year Hitch and then take a trip to Beds N Furniture inAldershot and choose yourself a new one – you’ll probably wish you’d done it sooner. And you’ll probably see me there choosing one too!
