The Sleep Council - Bed MOT

Sleeping Better

We spent around a third of our lives in bed so if you’re having difficulty sleeping one of the first things to look at is your bed.

What you sleep on plays a huge part in how well you doze. A comfortable, supportive bed can make the difference between a restorative night’s sleep and poor quality sleep that results in tiredness and fatigue with research showing that sleeping on an uncomfortable bed could rob you of up to an hour’s sleep.

While you could be doing all the right things when it comes to sleep – eating the right foods, exercising regularly, switching off gadgets before bedtime, winding down properly and sleeping in cool, quiet and dark bedroom – if you’re sleeping on old, unsupportive and unhealthy bed you STILL won’t get a refreshing night’s sleep.
