Leather Beds – Real vs. Faux:

The issues surrounding the use of real leather products are genuine and diverse, too much so for one blog post to capture. In the interest of humanity, we only stock faux leather beds in our collection. To broach the issue is tricky, but when it comes to aesthetic issues, there are clear positives and negatives.

Real vs. Faux – The Differences for Leather Beds:

Leather Beds in Staffordshire from UK Bed Store

Firstly, let’s consider the merits of using real leather. It possess an unmistakable smell and touch that’s evocative of its luxurious appearance. Not only that, but it wears with age, often giving it a more distinguished and mature look as time passes. These traits simply can’t be replicated. However, leather is also high maintenance. To keep it looking its best, it require regular waxing. It also tends to stretch with use, not a positive trait when used for a leather bed.

On the other hand, there is faux leather. Faux leather is very low cost and is produced to order. It’s shape and colour aren’t defined by the hide of the right beast. It involves less overall waste, both in terms of material and in terms of wildlife. Faux leather is much lower maintenance. If anything is spilled on the body of a leather bed, it can easily be wiped clean – and waterproof options are available. Faux leather also doesn’t crack or fade like real leather – associated positives and negatives as they are, depending on whether you want to keep the look or let it mature. Faux leather does come in a wide range of finishes and colours and, as such, can emulate the look of a mature leather bed right from day one.

The choice of which materials to use is always up the designers, and of course up to you the customer as to which products you want to support. Let us know which type of leather you prefer in the comments bellow!

Memory Foam and its Health Benefits:

We all deserve a good night’s sleep, that’s easily agreed, but more than 50% of Britons suffer from not getting enough sleep. This can have serious health ramifications in the long-term. Memory foam mattress offer a number of benefits and one of them is that the orthopaedic assistance that they offer can give you the good night’s sleep you deserve.

67% of people in the Great British Sleep Survey cited that they suffered from bodily discomfort that negatively affected their sleep. When the survey gauged the psychological impact of poor sleep, it concluded that people were:

  • 7 times more likely to feel helpless.
  • 5 times more likely to feel alone.
  • 3 times more likely to struggle to concentrate.
  • Twice as likely to suffer from fatigue.
  • Twice as likely to have relationship problems.
  • Twice as likely to suffer from low mood.
  • Twice as likely to struggle to be productive.

The Benefits of a Memory Foam Mattress:

Sealy Orthopaedic Memory Foam Mattress

The physical benefits of a good night’s sleep are well documented. Sleep boosts your immunity to disease, prevents diabetes, wards away heart disease, and increase both sex drive and fertility. With reasons like this, it’s inarguable as to why you should be focused on getting more sleep; we can help with that.

Sealy memory foam mattresses are the most popular brand of bed in the world, with good reason. All of their memory foam mattresses are evaluated by the Orthopaedic Advisory Board, a selection of doctors and scientists who specialise in sleep science.

Sealy’s Posturepedic beds have a unique ‘zonal support’ system which uses memory foam to ensure your spine is supported and aligned to its natural shape. They provide greater ‘push back’ support to areas of the body where weight is concentrated. This  approach helps prevent tossing and turning at night, when you don’t rest properly because your body isn’t comfortable and properly supported.
