When autumn and winter come it always feels like a good idea to hibernate. Unfortunately, having to pay the bills stop us from staying in bed with some trashy TV and some magazines.

Out of all of the furniture we buy the bed is the most important. Not only do you spend most of your life in your bed, one-third of your life to be exact, but a good night’s sleep is one of the most important things to start off your day. It is recommended that you change your bed every ten years so if you are going to pick out a new bed follow some of our top tips.

How to choose a good bed.

The only way to really choose a bed is to lie on it. Prodding it with your fingers or sitting on the edge won’t help. A bed is a matter of preference but some things will hold true. You do not want a mattress that is too hard or too soft. If you cannot slip your hand into the small of your back, then the mattress is too soft.

Mattress

When picking a mattress there are a number of options to go for. These include firm, soft or one with personalised support. You will have your own preference when it comes to beds, whether it be millbrook beds or some other make or type.

Headboard

Headboard come in many shapes and sizes. Choose one that really suits your personality but make sure you won’t get sick of it.

Another thing to remember when buying a bed is that you could buy one with storage. Under the bed storage is a great place to put all of that clutter you can’t find a place for, or your clothes.

In conclusion: make sure you have a good search before you buy your bed. It is an investment that will be in your life for about a decade. It is also worth spending as much money as you can afford on your new bed. A bad bed will give cause back problems and a lack of sleep. So spend well and spend wisely.
