The sleep council’s annual awareness event, National Bed Month, kicks off on 1st March where the Devon Bed Centre are ensuring there’ll never be a better time to replace your bed

All beds (including all the award winning ones) will be reduced by up to 50% off. That makes March the ideal month to think about the importance of a good, comfortable, properly supportive bed and the part it plays in achieving a good night’s sleep.

You could be doing all the right things when it comes to sleep – eating the right foods, limiting your alcohol and caffeine intake and exercising regularly.

You may also be following sound advice and switching off your screens an hour before and winding down properly. Hopefully you’ll even be sleeping in a cool, quiet and dark bedroom.

You could be practising all these things daily, but if you’re sleeping on an old, unsupportive and unhealthy bed you STILL won’t get a refreshing night’s sleep.

Interestingly, only 22% of people surveyed in the Great British Bedtime Report thought a new bed would improve their sleep.

And yet research from the Sleep Council a few years back found that when replacing an uncomfortable bed, a new bed was associated with an increase of 42 minutes extra sleep.

Don’t underplay the importance of a bed in getting a good night’s kip. A comfortable, supportive bed will ensure you move less, wake less, aren’t disturbed by your partner as much and are less likely to wake up feeling tired or aching.

If you’re unsure whether your bed is past its best, then look out for the signs such as its age, has it become noisy, do you and your partner roll towards each other unintentionally, is it sagging or even lumpy?

National Bed Month will be celebrated throughout March at the Devon Bed Centre where all beds will be in the up to 50% off sale – there’ll never be a better time to buy a new comfortable bed.
