We tend to blame our poor sleep quality on stress, too much screen time, or perhaps that cup of coffee after dinner. And whilst all that is true, what if the real issue has been right beneath you all along?
It’s easy to forget about our beds until the real problems show up. The sore back, the overheating nights, and waking up achy and tired even after 8 hours of sleep. Sounds familiar? Well, this might be the right read for you. Here you can find the factors to look out for with your current bed or when buying a new mattress.
The term “support” gets thrown around a lot when it comes to mattresses, but what does it actually mean? A mattress that’s too soft can cause your body to sink and your spine to misalign. On the other hand, one that’s too firm can create pressure points that make you uncomfortable.
True support is when your mattress keeps your body in a relaxed, natural position, without you needing to wrestle the bed to get comfortable. But here’s the tricky part: support is a personal thing. What feels amazing to one person might feel completely wrong to another. We’re all unique, which is why choosing your bed must be personal and not rushed.
If you and your partner have different preferences in support, neither of you should have to sacrifice your rest. Maybe a bespoke bed is what you need? At Feather & Springs, we can create each side of your bed to fit individual sleeping styles. After all, peaceful sleep for both means a peaceful life for both.
If you often wake up feeling too hot or find yourself tossing off the covers halfway through the night, your mattress could be to blame. Mattress materials make a huge difference in how well you sleep. Natural options like wool, cotton, silk, cashmere and natural latex are more breathable and help your body regulate its temperature overnight.
It’s the small details, like what’s inside your bed, that can help you improve your sleeping quality.
If your partner gets up in the middle of the night and you feel every shift and bounce, it’s a sign that your mattress isn’t absorbing motion well. A good pocket-sprung mattress helps isolate movement, so you are left in deep sleep completely undisturbed. They also provide more targeted support by contouring to your body, helping with spinal alignment and pressure relief. Plus, they’re naturally more breathable than foam, which keeps you cooler at night.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here. And anyone claiming otherwise is probably more interested in selling you something than helping you. The only real way to know what works is to try the different options. Lie down. Compare. See how your body responds.
That’s why we always suggest visiting our Kendal showroom — because no amount of advice beats feeling the difference for yourself. You can also explore our range online, to see what would work best for your comfort.
If your sleep’s been off and you can’t quite figure out why, it might be time to take a closer look at what you’re sleeping on.
We’ll be here when you’re ready —honest guidance and thoughtful quality beds.
