Sleepeezee

Simple Steps to improve your sleep routine.

Ever wondered why getting out of bed in winter can be so hard? On top of the colder days and the darker nights, it can be difficult to adjust to a changing season.

Your circadian rhythm, which regulates your body clock, is maintained by exposure to light. And in the winter, especially here in the UK where the daylight hours are shorter, light can be scarce. While seven to nine hours of sleep is still a healthy benchmark all year-round, you may find that you need an hour or two more than you did in the sunny days of summer to feel bright-eyed and bushy tailed.

Below are the top tips you can follow to ensure you’re sleeping soundly this winter:

• Avoid bright light exposure at night
  Yes, this includes mobile phones and tablet screens! The blue light from your devices can have a negative effect on your body clock and even your sleep.
• Get up at the same time in the morning, every day
  Simple does it – waking up at the same time every day will stabilise your circadian rhythm. As a result, you should naturally become tired at the same time every night. Bingo!
• Expose yourself to light in the morning
  It’s important to seek out exposure to morning light where you can, simply because light is a strong cue to alert your internal clock that it’s time to wake.
• Exercise
  Keep energy levels high, and ensure you’re tired enough to get to sleep ‘earlier’ on a Sunday night. Try to exercise outdoors where possible to take in as much natural light and fresh air as you can.
• Avoid alcohol and caffeine
  Alcohol and caffeine have been proven to give you a less restful sleep. Therefore, cutting back a little can mean a lot for your body clock
• Try a Sleepeezee mattress                                                                                                                             We work hard every day to ensure you get a fantastic night’s sleep. Next time you invest in a new mattress, be sure to try out one of our many mattress types. We have a wide range of beds that are just perfect for the winter season.

There are two kinds of sleepers in this world Night Owls and Early Birds. Night owls have energy well into the evening and go to bed late and early birds subscribe to the early-to-bed-early-to-rise regimen.
You probably have a good idea of which category you fall into most of the time, but you might not know which one is better for your health.
We’ve had a look into this, so read on…

Pros and Cons of Being a Night Owl

Pros and Cons of Being an Early Bird

Regardless of these pros and cons, it can’t be denied that both early birds and night owls have their own strengths and weaknesses. It doesn’t make one better than the other—only slightly different.
So whether you rise with the sun or set with it, you clearly need to be getting the best night’s sleep possible. Here at Sleepeezee we can help you accomplish this with our wonderful range of mattresses, which are all guaranteed to give you a fantastic night’s sleep.
With a wide range to choose from we have the perfect mattress for both early birds and night owls alike.

Feeling foggy and forgetful these days? One key aspect to sharpening your memory may be adjusting your sleep schedule. This is because your brain works overtime while you’re in bed to help boost your ability to remember.
A healthy dose of sleep can help you…

Learn new skills

If you’ve just been taught how to play piano getting enough sleep will help cement what you learned. This allows you to perform better the next time that you sit in front of the keyboard.

Create long-term memories

A friend who remembers everything that they have heard or seen may just be a great sleeper. This is because when you’re awake, your mind takes little snapshots of your experiences.
Then after you drift off the brain replays those events like video clips, which turn’s those the experiences into long-term memories.

Improve your focus

Ever have one of those days where you find yourself reading the same sentence or paragraph over and over again? Well good news not only is our memory given a boost while you sleep, but going into the day well rested will make it easier to stay attentive and alert to digest new information.
So if you’re looking to improve your memory then adjusting your sleep may be the first step and in doing so you’ll need to make sure you have the right tools i.e. your mattress which is essential.

With our wide range of mattresses designed to help you keep cool at night, offer back support and ultimately give you the best night’s sleep, we know you’re not short on options.

You wake up in the morning feeling grouchy. You’re irritable, sluggish, and your day eventually suffers because of it, anxiety is at the forefront of your mind.
According to Mind UK Extended problems with sleep have been proven to increase our risk of heart disease, developing diabetes, and having a reduced immune system.
Nearly 6 million people in the UK experience an anxiety disorder every year and unfortunately for most this is something they have to live with. However, coincidently around the same number have a long-term sleep disorder which shows anxiety and sleep are intimately connected. In an ongoing cycle the more anxious you feel, the less sleep you get, which sufferers find hard to break.
Diagnosing anxiety disorders is extremely difficult, however one thing we can do is offer advice on how to get the best night’s sleep possible whilst providing you with a “can’t live without” mattress and bed combination.

Getting Better Sleep

Here are some tips for changing your daily routine to improve your quality of sleep and lower your anxiety levels.

• Get out of your head. If you can’t fall asleep because you can’t turn off your thoughts, get out of bed and do something “mindless”. Go for a walk. Doodle on paper. Try yoga or meditation to turn your focus to your body and not your mind.
• Get into the sunlight. Your circadian rhythm is sensitive to light and darkness. Get a good dose of sunlight every day. Walk around and eat lunch away from your office / home.
• Don’t “catch up” on weekends. Keep a consistent sleep schedule. Don’t sleep in more than an hour on weekends.
• Save your bed for sleeping. Don’t do anything else in bed but sleep. Watch TV and do homework somewhere else and don’t make a habit of sleeping anywhere else besides your bed (e.g. couch, recliners).

Get a Mattress and Divan that fits you

When we lay on an unsupportive mattress or overly stuffed pillow, pressure points build on our sides, back, and neck. These pressure points cause us to literally toss and turn in an attempt to find a comfortable position all night.
Luckily here at Sleepeezee we provide the Best of British quality goods and our Pure range is designed to offer our customers Unrivalled luxury, night after night, so you always wake up feeling refreshed.
For more information on our Pure range or any of our other mattresses please visit www.sleepeezee.com/our-collections or get in touch either via phone on 0163 4723 557 or via our website (https://sleepeezee.com/contact-us/) to hear more about what this fantastic range can do for you.

As we’re met with dark nights and brisk mornings, your home becomes a calm haven to escape winter’s chill and cosy up with friends and family.
But with Christmas just around the corner, it can also be an overwhelming time of year.
That’s where our handy guide comes in… with a little planning, it’s easy to get your home ready for the festive season without getting stressed out – after all, Christmas is a time to be merry!
Here are our top three tips for welcoming Christmas into your home…

Declutter and destress

The saying ‘Tidy Home, Tidy Mind’ has never been truer that over the Christmas holidays.
Our first tip for a stress-free festive season is to declutter and give your home a deep clean. It may not be as fun as Christmas shopping but we promise you’ll thank yourself later.
And we’re not just talking about the obvious spaces in your home. Now’s the perfect time to tackle your overcrowded pantry and stock up on essentials for the winter months. How about dropping off any unwanted items at your local Food Bank?

Be our guest

Guest rooms are seldom used, however the chances are you’ll be expecting a lot more guests than usual over the next few months.
You’ll also want your loved ones to leave with happy memories, and that includes a good night’s sleep.
Think about whether it’s time to replace the mattress or invest in some new bed linen.
Small updates don’t have to be expensive either. Take our Essentials range for example, an affordable collection of mattresses that don’t compromise on quality or comfort.

Make use of what you already have

We love nothing more than dreaming up gorgeous Christmas décor or filling our Pinterest board full of festive ideas, but you shouldn’t overlook what you already have.
Don’t worry about splashing out on all new decorations. Use last year’s baubles as a base to adorn your tree and invest in a few stand-out glass decorations to add a touch of magic.
Borrow accessories from other rooms to update a spare bedroom, creating a space that will make your guests feel at home.
Be sure to follow Sleepeezee on Facebook or Twitter as we’ll be sharing plenty of Christmas interior trends and tips in the run up to the big day!

We’ve recently returned from ‘The Bed Show’, the UK’s biggest exhibition of British bed manufacturers and suppliers.
As we wandered around the show it got us thinking, with so many beds and mattresses to choose from, how are our customers supposed to know which is right for them?
Choosing the right mattress is essential to ensuring exceptional comfort night after night, year upon year.
We also know how much of a big investment a new mattress can be and with that in mind, we’ve pulled together a handy guide to make it easier for you to choose:

Step one – choose your type

Pocket sprung, memory foam, gel, pillow top… mattress shopping can be confusing.

Every Sleepeezee bed is made using pocket springs which adapt to your unique shape and weight. Each collection then offers a different combination of the very best in sleep technology and the finest materials. For example, Staycool™ gel in some of our mattresses helps to manage moisture levels, which aids temperature regulation so you won’t feel too hot in warmer months.
In others, a memory foam layer adapts to your body as you sleep, contouring effortlessly to your sleeping position.
We’d always recommend exploring each mattress type to ensure you choose the combination that works best for your body and your needs.

Step two – choose your firmness

A mattress is as individual as you, and what’s right for one might not be comfortable for another.
A soft mattress like the Pure Emperor 4000 feels like your sinking into a cloud with support in the right places. Whereas a medium mattress such as the Grand Luxe will provide an all-around balanced feeling, enough sinkability but with the desired firmness to feel fully supported.
The Royal Backcare 2000 is an example of a firm mattress that doesn’t offer as much contouring as a softer mattress. You’ll typically feel more push back, which is ideal for front of back sleepers.
Top tip – we’ve rated the firmness of each of our mattresses from 1–5 and you’ll find the scores on each product page.

Step three – try before you buy

We know it sounds like a cliché but trying a mattress before you buy it a must. It’s a long term investment, and taking your time to browse your options when shopping for your new mattress is the key to many nights of restful sleep.
Sharing your bed with a partner? Make sure they test them too! Find your nearest Sleepeezee stockist to try out a range of our mattresses.

Step four – more than a mattress

So, you’ve found your ideal mattress… now what?
A mattress is only as good as its base, and the two work together in harmony. The wrong base can damage your mattress, and even void a guarantee, so make sure you check what type of base is recommended before you purchase it.
Our checklist for finding a good base? It should be able to hold the weight of your mattress
✓ offer even support
✓ and provide sufficient air circulation ✓
And voilà – you’re a mattress pro and it’s time to shop!

Colder mornings, darker nights and knitted jumpers a plenty… autumn has arrived and we’re ready to snuggle up.
Don’t get us wrong, we loved the warmer weather this summer but we believe a bed is enjoyed most when you’re wrapped up under layers of luxurious bedding and warming throws.
With that in mind, we’ve rounded up our favourite autumn interior trends that are sure to warm up any space in your home.

Introduce colour into your home

We’re all for championing beautiful neutrals but there’s no better season to fully embrace a bolder colour choice than autumn/winter.
If you’re daring enough to go dark, navy blue is still a firm favourite here at Sleepeezee HQ. We saw it in the ‘scandi seadside’ trend this spring/summer and it’s here to stay. Try incorporating it into a feature wall, an accent chair or a statement headboard.

We’re also loving more feminine colours such as burnt orange and dusty rose – think pink plush cushions and temperature rising rugs will bring a touch of warmth to your home.
Our top tip for tackling colour? Create a mood board with magazine cut outs, colour swatches and fabric samples and discover what works best with the bigger pieces of furniture in your home.
The choice is yours – style your home in colours that inspire and motivate you.

Infuse your space with scents you love

Interior design isn’t just about décor. It’s about how a space makes you feel. With autumn comes the rich scents of the season – think spiced pumpkin, cinnamon and cranberry.

Fill your home with candles, oil reed diffusers and even freshly baked treats and let the smell of your favourite scents linger in the air.

Embrace texture

As we look to escape the autumn/winter chill, texture is more important than ever. More than what meets the eye, how soft furnishings and accessories feel should be your ultimate priority.
One texture trend that translates effortlessly into autumn/winter is velvet – luxurious to look at and touch.

Don’t be afraid to clash textures for extra character. Embrace the contrast of wood and velvet, concrete and plants, brick and sheepskin.
Which of these interior trends will you be experimenting with this autumn? We say combine all three to create the ultimate sleep sanctuary.
Don’t forget, we’ll be celebrating Sleeptember this month by sharing our favourite sleep tips, advice and more on social media. Make sure you’re following us on Facebook and Twitter for your daily dose of all things Sleepeezee.
