With a fresh lockdown in the UK straight after the Christmas holidays, you might be finding that your little ones are completely out of that bedtime routine. While we know it might be difficult to stick to bedtimes when they are stuck at home all day, keeping children in a routine can help them in these strange times.

Prepare for bedtime

Your children might not be burning off as much energy as they would be if they weren’t in lockdown but that doesn’t mean we can’t prepare them for bedtime in the same way. Each family will have their own ready for bedtime routine, whether this is a nice bath to calm them down, or a fun bath to burn that last bit of energy, this can get them cleaned up and ready to get into a set of comfy pyjamas.
Turning off electronics at least 30 minutes before bedtime, whether this be before bathtime, or to talk to your little ones about their day.
Once in bed, instead of adding extra stimulants, such as the tv, try reading your little ones a story to drift them off to sleep. You might even find that one story that makes them fall asleep almost immediately.

Energise the day

When our little ones have trouble getting to sleep, or winding down at the end of the day, look at how they are burning their energy during the day. Being stuck at home isn’t fun for us as adults, let alone for a child, so get them burning off the excess energy. While many of us are working from home, and working and occupying children isn’t always that easy, keeping them off tablets and away from screens as much as possible will help them to use up more energy (even if you find its in the form of the “I’m bored chorus”). Create some fun games to keep them moving around, including treasure hunts to keep them busy for longer.
And remember, getting them up at the same time every day will help them to keep that routine, and have them tired just in time for bed.

Make sure that your children’s beds are the right ones for them. Ensure that they are comfortable and suitable for your little ones, remember, you wouldn’t sleep on an uncomfortable bed, so why will they?

Making sure that no matter what’s going on around us, your furniture will be there to keep you going.

Working from home

Once again you may find yourself working from home, or perhaps you may not have during the last lockdown. Rather than leaving yourself with poor posture, from being slumped on the sofa with a laptop, why not invest in a brand new desk. It doesn’t have to be big and fancy (unless you want it to be of course) all it needs, is to be functional.
At the UK Bed Store, we have a selection of desks ready for delivery, from simple small desks suitable for your work computer, to the ever attractive Casablanca desk.
If you find yourself working from home make sure to take a look at our blog on working from home, including tips on keeping productive and sleeping well.

Not all of us are able to work from home right now, so whether you are still off out to work, or joining those on furlough, you’ll be looking for a place to put your feet up. A comfy sofa is just the place to do that. While we may specialise in beds, you can guarantee that our selection of sofas offers the same high quality as the rest of our products. So why not check out our sofa collection, and change up your living space today.

The joys of Christmas are behind us and the new year is well underway. Are you finding that the wintery weather and the post-Christmas feelings are getting you down? Why not beat away the blues with UK Bed Store.

Upgrading the boudoir

With many of us spending at least 8 hours a night curled up tightly in bed, either happily snoozing away or battling to try and drift off, the best gift to yourself this January is a new bed.

Standard advice is that we upgrade our mattresses at least once every 8 years, with that in mind, when was the last time you changed yours? Not all mattresses will keep their form for the full 8 years that they are expected to, so when you start to notice odd lumps and bumps or dips where you lay, it might be worth an early upgrade.

The next question is, just the mattress or are you due a complete new bed (why not decorate the whole room to make yourself feel better too)?

From space saving ottoman beds, to luxurious leather beds and even day beds, here at UK Bed Store we have a vast selection to suit the new look of your room! You might even redecorate your room because you like the look of a certain bed.

Bedroom Furniture

Not only do we have a great selection of beds available, we also offer a selection of other bedroom furniture to complete your new boudoir!

For the modern, minimalist bedrooms we have a selection of simplistically designed wardrobes in doors in a range of colours including a high gloss finish. For a classic look our traditional wooden wardrobe might be the one for you! Head over to our Wardrobes page for the full collection.

For the style savvy amongst us, our selection of dressing tables certainly has something for you. Vintage designed dressing tables, complete with a mirror are a firm favourite in our collection, but for the more bachelor pad style, our Ottowa dressing table fits the bill!

Here at UK Bed Store, we know how it feels once the excitement of Christmas is a distant memory, and the wet, dark weather outside makes us want to stay curled up in bed. So head over to our Bed Frames or Mattresses collections to find your next comfy space. For more information on our products please get in touch today.
