Is it time for buying a new bed

When beds are no longer providing proper support and comfort, it affects the quality of our sleep. People are often unaware that their beds may be one of the reasons why they are not sleeping well. Beds don't last forever - life span is affected by factors such as the quality, care, amount of use and sleeping each night versus occasional use of spare beds. Changes in lifestyle and in our bodies can also necessitate a change of bed. It may be time for a new mattress if:

• You wake up with aches and pains, which wear off as the day progresses
• You are not sleeping well as you did a year ago
• You enjoy a better sleep on other beds rather than your own
• Your mattress shows signs of wear and tear

A new bed may not be a wonder cure to all life's stresses and strains but it should certainly help you get a better nights sleep, leaving you refreshed and ready to face the world.

There are literally thousands of beds from which to choose from and there's no such thing as the perfect type of bed for a particular condition or situation (e.g one ideal bed for a particular back pain sufferer).

Fascinating bed Fact
Buying a brand new bed may give a better nights sleep than taking a sleeping pill - Two year research by sleep expert Dr Chris Klzikowski found that those with uncomfortable beds slept on average one hour less each night than those with comfortable beds.

How To Choose a New Bed

Here a few general points to think about before you choose your new beds:

• Type - what sort of style do you prefer? what do you like or dislike about your current bed? Do you prefer a firmer or softer feel?
• Price - Always shop for the best value beds not the lowest price. Of course, there are some perfectly acceptable lower priced beds available but the better the construction, the better the support and comfort the longer the bed will last.
• Size - being disturbed by a sleeping partner is one of the most common complaints. With a larger bed you are less likely to disturb one another. You should be able to lie side by side, with your arms behind your head and your elbows out, without touching.

Your bed should also be 10cm - 15cm longer than the tallest partner - anyone over 6ft tall should consider beds longer than standard. Many manufacturers make beds up to 7ft square. Also consider the beds height - many contemporary styles are low, while those with storage drawers may be higher.

Buy base and mattress together
At the very least, make sure you try mattresses on a very similar type of base . The two are engineered to work together and a change of base will affect the feel and performance of the mattress.

Access
If you are worried about getting the beds upstairs, remember most divans have split bases; while many bedsteads are actually delivery in pieces for assembly in situ.

Fascinating bed Fact
Testing conducted by the furniture industry research shows that a beds characteristics can deteriorate by as much as 70% over 10 years.

Shopping Tips for Buying Beds

Comfortable beds are beds offering the right support. You will need to make your own assessment guided by factors such as your weight, height, build and even preferred sleeping position, As a general rule the heavier you are the firmer the tension you will need. You don't necessarily need a hard bed if you have a bad back.

Most of the manufacturers Bed Star deal with offer mattresses in firm, medium and soft options so please pick the correct tension for your preferred comfort.

Your aim is to achieve a good posture in bed. Too soft and your body will slouch, leading to back pain; too firm will cause discomfort at pressure points such as hips and shoulders.

Ideally the mattress should mould to the shape of your body while remaining supportive. When you lie on your side your spine should be horizontal, you should be able to turn easily on the bed.

For partners of widely different size and weight, different mattresses may be required. Some maunfacturers make double beds from two single mattresses zipped together, which can be of differing tension. Others can combine different degrees of firmness in one mattress.

Comfort is very subjective. Some people like the sensation of sinking into a bed; others prefer to lie on the surface. Back sleepers may prefer firmer beds than people who sleep on their sides. there are lots of different 'feels' around - you can choose what works best for you.

Caring For Beds

Proper care will keep your bed in good condition. Always read and retain manufacturers care instructions and ask your retailer for advice, too. Otherwise, the following tips will help you to get the best out of your bed during its natural life. Use a washable, protective cover to protect the beds mattress (and pillows) from stains. Barrier fabrics for allergy sufferers are also available.

In the mornings, throw back the bed clothes and leave the bed to air for 20 minutes to allow body moisture to evaporate.

Turning your mattress over from side and side and end to end every few months (every week for the first three months) helps upholstery fillings to settle down more evenly. Some more luxurious mattresses, with much thicker layers of fillings designed to mould themselves to the contours of your body, may retain signs of these impressions, despite turning.

Don’t make a habit of sitting on the edge of the bed and don’t let the kids bounce on it.

Don’t roll up or squash a mattress to store or transport it - this can cause permanent damage.

Handles are designed to help you position a mattress on the beds base - do not use them to support the full weight of the mattress - they may pull out and damage the fabric.

Don’t leave polythene wrappings on a new mattress - dampness, mildew and rotting could all result from a build-up of condensation.

Vacuum your mattress and base from time to time to remove fluff and dust. This should be carefully done so as not to dislodge fillings or damage tufts. Open windows while vacuuming -especially if there is an asthma sufferer in the house.

When tackling stains, use mild detergent and warm or cold water. Never over soak a mattress or bed base.

Putting a new mattress on a base for which it was not intended, a new mattress on an old base or a board between the mattress and base can impede the beds comfort and reduce the useful life of the mattress - as well as affecting any guarantees or warranties.

Out with the Old: Once you’ve bough yourself a new bed, make arrangements to have any old beds disposed of. Don’t give it to the children, relatives, guests or neighbours. If it wasn’t good enough for you, it’s not good enough for anyone else, either. In fact, it’s a veritable health hazard - get rid of it.

Ten tips to help you get the sleep you need and deserve

We all have too much to do, so take time out and recharge yourself by getting a good night's sleep. The quality and quantity of your sleep can make all the difference in how productive you'll be the next day. Here are ten tips to help you get the sleep you need and deserve.

1. Maintain a regular bed and wake time schedule, including weekends.
2. Establish a regular, relaxing bedtime routine such as soaking in a hot bath or hot tub and then reading a book or listening to soothing music.
3. Create a sleep-conducive environment that is dark, quiet, comfortable and cool.
4. Sleep on a comfortable mattress and pillows.
5. Use your bedroom only for sleep only. It is best to take work materials, computers and televisions out of the environment where beds are kept.
6. Finish eating at least two to three hours before your regular bedtime.
7. Exercise regularly. It is best to complete your workout at least a few hours before bedtime.
8. Avoid nicotine (e.g., cigarettes, tobacco products). close to bedtime, it can lead to poor sleep.
9. Avoid caffeine (e.g., coffee, tea, soft drinks, chocolate) close to bedtime. It can keep you awake.
10. Avoid alcohol close to bedtime. It can lead to disrupted sleep later in the night.

The Perfect Bedroom Environment

Your bedroom should be quiet and relaxing. Unwelcome noise or light, an uncomfortable or worn-out mattress and foundation, or a room that's too warm or too cool can prevent you from getting the sleep you need. There's no reason to settle for anything less than perfect sleep. These four factors can make a difference:

Mattress and bed base.
Be sure your mattress and the beds base meet your needs for both comfort and support. If you sleep with a partner, your mattress should also allow you both enough space to move easily.

Light.
Light is one of the body's most powerful time cues. The rising sun can wake up the brain long before the alarm goes off. A dark room is the most conducive for sleep day or night.

Noise.
Sudden, loud noises from inside or outside the home can disrupt sleep. Steady, low sounds, such as the whir of a fan or air conditioner, are soothing because they help block out distracting noises.

Temperature.
The ideal bedroom temperature is 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit (16 to 18 degrees Celsius). A room that's too warm or too cool can disrupt comfortable sleep.
