Deep sleep debunked (and why your mattress matters)
From suspending all tech use an hour before bedtime, to getting more exercise during the day, there are many things we can do to help us get a better night’s sleep. Perhaps one of the biggest influences on our quality of shut-eye, though, is our mattress. It definitely has a lot to answer for, and picking the right one pays in many different ways beyond sleep. In this blog, our experts at TV Bed discuss the reasons why choosing the right mattress matters, and share some of our top recommendations for the most comfortable night’s rest. Why is a good night’s sleep so important? It’s no secret how vital a good night’s sleep is. As an adult, you should be getting between 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night to help your body recover from the day’s stresses, and to help prepare your body for the day that awaits. Not getting enough shut-eye can result in mood swings (or low mood in general), reduced focus, weakened immunity, and even long-term health problems like obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. So, how can my mattress impact the quality of my sleep? As we’ve touched upon, your mattress can have a huge impact on the quality of your sleep in a number of different ways, which can include: Spinal support and alignment A good mattress has a huge influence on how well your spine aligns during sleep, keeping it in a neutral position and relieving pressure on your back, hips, and shoulders. An old, sagging mattress doesn’t offer nearly half as much support, and can lead to restless nights, muscle strain, and over time, chronic pain, making it more difficult to drift off. Pressure point relief Some types of mattresses, particularly those made with memory foam, help distribute your weight more evenly, which helps to relieve built-up pressure in sensitive areas like the shoulders, hips, lower back, and knees. Temperature regulation The importance of a cool environment for sleep should never be underestimated, and some mattresses are made with built-in technology to help you better control and maintain your body temperature by allowing airflow and preventing overheating. Pain relief If you struggle with back, neck, and joint pain, a good orthopaedic mattress could be the answer to all your problems. By helping you correct your posture, a supportive mattress will help alleviate pain and ensure a better night’s sleep. Allergy control If you’re an allergy sufferer, be it in summer or year-round, a hypoallergenic mattress made with latex or other memory foam could be a huge help. This material is great for resisting dust and other allergens, and contributes to a much healthier sleeping environment. How do I choose the right mattress? The right mattress for you depends on several different factors, from your body type, weight, and sleeping position, to your budget and any unique features you’d like your mattress to have. Check out our ultimate guide to choosing your next mattress, where we delve deeper into the importance of picking the perfect mattress and our top tips to keep in mind when shopping around.

Read moreThe best bedroom setup for a comfortable night’s sleep
One of the most common reasons why (almost) a third of adults in the UK struggle to get a good night’s sleep is their bedroom setup. Your environment plays a huge part in your ability to drift off, and everything from an uncomfortable mattress and unfit pillows, to the temperature of your room can seriously hinder your shut-eye when it comes time to hit the hay. In this blog, the TV Bed experts share their top tips and tricks for an efficient, dreamy sleep setup to help you get the best night’s rest of your life. Choose the right bedframe and mattress The right bedframe and mattress contribute massively to the quality of your sleep. From properly aligning your spine and relieving pressure points to regulating your body temperature and preventing sagging – helping you sleep through the night and wake up feeling refreshed; no tossing and turning involved. To choose the right bed frame and mattress, you should consider the following: ● The size and style of your bedroom ● Your preferred bed height ● Colours and materials ● Your sleep position body type ● Mattress firmness ● Any specific sleep issues (i.e., back pain, being a hot sleeper, etc) At TV Bed, we stock a range of stunning TV bed frames that have plenty of room to house a smart TV and ample built-in storage space – ideal for smaller spaces! We’re also proud to offer a selection of mattresses that pair perfectly with our TV bed frame options. Don’t forget about bedding Your pillows and bedding also make a huge difference to the quality of your sleep. Soft, warm duvets. Breathable sheets. Weighted blankets. Decorative pillows. There’s no denying that the bedding you choose makes a huge difference to the quality of your sleep. Not only does prioritising bedding that’s soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking make your space feel cosier, but it also transforms the way you sleep and ensures you’re comfortable, allowing you to wake up feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on the day. Clear away the clutter Your environment matters. Clutter, especially in the bedroom, creates a sense of stress and disorganisation and triggers feelings of anxiety, which in turn can make it harder to relax and drift off at night. In fact, studies have shown a direct correlation between high levels of clutter and sleep deprivation. So, before you jump into bed, make sure to clear away any mess and make sure everything is in its place, to enjoy a reviving, stress-free slumber. Opt for soft lighting We all know how vital getting a good night’s sleep is for our overall health and well-being, yet we still sabotage this with one simple element. Lighting. Lighting plays yet another huge part in the quality of our sleep, and there are a few simple swaps you can make to ensure you get the best rest night after night. Instead of harsh overhead lights or bright bedside lamps, opt for soft lighting with dimmable controls to create a calm bedroom that’s conducive to sleep and helps keep your natural circadian rhythm in check. Find the perfect temperature Last, but certainly not least, is the temperature of your room. You guessed it: the temperature of your bedroom can affect your sleep quality – if it's too hot or too cold, you’ll struggle to fall asleep. It’s all about finding that perfect medium, not too hot that you’re tossing and turning, searching for that sweet, cool spot, and not too cold that you’re more focused on trying to keep warm. The ideal temperature for sleep is around 18°C, but if you prefer it to be a little cooler or warmer than this, you can add or remove layers accordingly. Need more expert tips?
