MATERIAL MATTERS

A comfy bed is key to a good night’s sleep. Choose a mattress that offers you the right level of support; generally, the heavier you are, the firmer your mattress needs to be. If you’re not sure whether to choose a sprung mattress or a memory foam option, go in store to test out the mattresses on offer to ensure you get the right level of support. Mattresses should be replaced every six to eight years. When choosing a new mattress, one made with natural fibres, such as British wool and cotton, rather than synthetic materials, will allow air to move through the mattress itself, encouraging airflow to keep you cool and helping to avoid bacteria that might build up.
