National Bed Month

National bed month, Time to upgrade?

Here at UK Bed Store we personally LOVE national bed month! What better way to spend the month than making the most out of your bed! But, will this month make you think about upgrading and treating yourself to a new bed? Perhaps a king-size? Or maybe a luxurious leather frame?
The perfect bed is waiting for you. Whether the bed is just for you, a bed to share, a fun child’s bed, or the old favourite cabin bed for that teen that needs a bit more storage space!

National bed month

This year the whole month of March is devoted to the love of our bed. After all it is where we spend around one third of our lives.
This month it’s all about creating awareness of getting the best nights sleep and ensuring that your bed is helping you to get that! Recent studies have shown that reducing screen time before bed can vastly improve your quality of sleep. While we can’t sell you a bed that will tell you to put your phone down at bedtime (yet!), we do have a wide variety of snooze-worthy beds and mattresses that will help you revamp your nightly routine.

Choosing the best upgrade

With so many options on offer, how do you know you’re making the right choice? The best way to help make your decision is to make a list of expectations for your new bed. Have you considered;
• The size you want/need – is a standard double big enough or are you looking for a little more room? Maybe try a king-size.
• Who is the bed for? Small children don’t need a luxurious leather double bed, why not have a look at some of our fun kid’s beds
• Low on space? We have a great selection of ottoman and divan beds available to suit your space
If you think you’ve made the perfect selection but are a little worried in case its not everything you hoped for? Don’t worry, our easy returns mean that you get to return the bed and try again!

Did you know?

There’s so many interesting facts about beds that you may not know! And some you probably don’t want to know! Here’s just a few, how many did you already know?
• Tutankhamun’s bed was made from pure gold and ebony.
• A traditional Japanese bed is essentially a matt (known as a shikibuton) laid on the floor, which is rolled up during the day to allow the space to be used.
• Over 10 years the average mattress almost doubles in weight, this is caused by dust and dead skin cells being held inside (is it time to change your mattress?)
• The first waterbeds were goatskins filled with water, used in Persia nearly 4,000 years ago

Give Your Bedroom an Upgrade for National Bed Month

The start of March is also the start of National Bed Month, the annual awareness campaign promoting the benefits of getting a good night’s sleep.
Sleep is vital to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, so having the perfect place to rest at the end of the day is pivotal.

Switch Off and Relax

Here are a few tips that will help you wind down and relax comfortably –

Digital Detox – Technology such as tablets and smartphones plays a big part in our lives, but by using your bedroom exclusively for sleeping will improve your sleep routines.
Binge watching has become a growing viewing habit with Ofcom saying around 10 million Brits have skipped sleep to finish their favourite shows. Most of us require 7-8 hours of solid sleep to be at our best the next day, with even the glow of the TV standby button proving disruptive.
Cut out Caffeine and Alcohol – Cutting back on caffeinated and alcoholic drinks will give you a smoother night’s rest. Although alcohol will get you to sleep quicker initially, you are more likely to wake in the night once the alcohol leaves your system – leaving you with a disjointed night’s sleep and that’s before the hangover kicks in!
Keep a Sleep Diary – Keeping a diary is a great way to put your finger on any potential problems you may be having getting a decent amount of sleep. Noting down the food and drink you consume or activity as well as the resulting night sleep can provide clarity on what works and doesn’t work.

People who suffer from recurring back pain reportedly enjoy a better quality of sleep when they start using a new mattress. We recommend changing your mattress every 8 years or earlier when you start to see deterioration or start having problems.
