Do You Need A New Bed?

1. Is your mattress 10 years old or more?
2. Is your mattress cover torn or stained?
3. Is your bedstead or divan base uneven or out of shape?
4. Do you ever wake up with neck or backache?
5. Are the legs or castors of your bed worn out or broken?
6. Do you and your partner roll towards each other unintentionally?
7. Is your bed/mattress too small to give an undisturbed night's sleep?
8. When lying in bed, do you feel springs or ridges beneath the surface?
9. When moving in bed do you hear creaks, crunches or other suspicious noises?
10. Would it be embarrassing if the neighbours saw your mattress or bed without its covers?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions then it’s time to get a new bed.

1. Decide your priorities and concerns in advance. These could include: price, storage, access to bedroom, turning the mattress, getting in and out of bed, overall size, or shape.

2. If you are on a limited budget, spend more on the mattress than the bedstead itself. It is the mattress that aids a good nights sleep not the bedstead.

3. Think big! - larger beds lead to less disturbed sleep.

4. You get what you pay for - especially with mattresses - spend as much as you can afford

5. Every £100 you spend on a new bed costs just 2.7p a night over 10 years, which is the average comfortable life of a bed.

6. You are going to spend over 29,000 hours on your bed during its (10 year) lifespan, so it’s worth taking a little time and effort in the beginning to make sure you make the right choice.

7. For instance do you suffer from Low Back Pain, Poor Blood Circulation To the Legs, Mild Arthritic or Rheumatic Pain, Oedema / Swelling Of The Legs, Do You Have difficulty Getting In & Out Of Bed, Do You Watch TV, Read, Or Write In bed? If so consider getting an adjustable bed.
