Many of us wish we could achieve a better quality or quantity of sleep. Of all the things in our busy lives that can prevent a great night’s rest, an uncomfortable bed is one of the biggest culprits.
Here at Dreamwool Beds, we know good sleep. We’re here to tell you how your bed might be getting in the way and what you should look for when considering a more comfortable replacement.
Sources of Bed Discomfort
Too soft, too firm, too much partner disturbance – there are lots of reasons why your bed might be causing you discomfort. Here are a few that we hear most often from people looking to upgrade to a Dreamwool Bed.
Springs
Particularly in more old-fashioned innersprung or open coil spring beds – where the wire coils are open, not encased, and act as one large spring unit – weary sleepers might find that the springs are causing discomfort. Perhaps they’re wearing unevenly, or the comfort layers on top are getting thinner. Whatever the reason, if you can feel the springs in your bed, it’s time to consider a replacement.
Rolling Together
If you and your partner find yourselves rolling into the middle of the bed overnight, this means that it’s no longer supporting you evenly – a sure sign that you’re ready for an upgrade.
Partner Disturbance
One of the biggest sleep complaints is partner disturbance. This may happen because there is too much motion transference in the mattress when each partner moves or because one partner is more suited to the fit and firmness of the mattress than the other.
In some cases, partner disturbance can result in one partner having to leave the shared bed and sleep elsewhere. If you’re experiencing partner disturbance that is affecting your quality or quantity of sleep, you should consider a new mattress that better suits both of your needs or explore other solutions, including individual twin king mattresses or separate beds.
The Wrong Materials
Cheap or synthetic mattress materials can create a sleep environment that doesn’t breathe. For many sleepers, this can mean a hot, damp sleep experience with a lot of tossing and turning through the night. The best quality of sleep comes from the best quality of materials, which is why each Dreamwool Bed is handcrafted with luxurious Merino wool, all-natural latex, and European pocketsprings.
The Consequences of Bad Sleep
The long-term impacts of bad sleep are far-reaching and can include: weight gain, declining mental health or cognitive function, increased risk of diabetes or cardiovascular disease, personality changes and irritability, and reduced safety and performance.
Don’t Compromise on Sleep
Beds don’t suddenly hit their use-by date for comfort; they degrade slowly. If you’ve already noticed that yours is uncomfortable, you either bought the wrong one in the first place, or it’s been getting increasingly uncomfortable for quite a while. Don’t neglect it any longer or let it continue to affect your life and health. Take this as a sign that you’re well overdue for an upgrade.
