Five books you must read this summer

Whether you have a long-standing love affair with novels, or it’s a once a year, “I’ll pick up one in the airport” kind of relationship, you have to admit that there’s nothing quite like a good book to help you switch off, unwind and truly relax.
With the nights a little brighter and the weather a LOT warmer, why not take this summer as the perfect opportunity to fall back in love with reading?
So, not sure where to start? Here are our top five summer must reads – you can thank us later…

Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton

A firm favourite here at Sleepeezee HQ, journalist and former Sunday Times dating columnist Dolly Alderton shares her tales of heartbreak, self-love and friendship.
This action-packed memoir is full of relatable trials and triumphs of becoming a grown up and you won’t want to put it down.
Just like how it’s been passed around our office, you’ll want to lend this to all of your friends when you’re finished – it’s laugh out loud funny and a must read this summer.

The Woman in the Window by A. J. Finn

If you enjoyed Gone Girl and/or Girl on a Train, you’ll want to read The Woman in the Window this summer.
Described by Stephen King as “one of those rare books that really is unputdownable”, this tense thriller tells the tale Dr Anna Fox, a child psychologist who has become severely agoraphobic after a traumatic experience. When she witnesses from her window what she believes to be a murder, the police don’t believe her. But did she hallucinate the whole thing?
If the rave reviews aren’t enough to make you want to read the book, it’s currently in development as a major film so expect to see it on your screens late 2019.

The Art of Not Falling Apart by Christina Patterson

Brilliant, beautifully written and thought-provoking.
The Art of Not Falling Apart is a truly open account of life and its challenges.
Journalist Christina Patterson shares a series of stories that are honest, sad and ultimately uplifting. A great read for people wondering how to deal with tough times.

This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor by Adam Kay

Adam Kay’s This Is Going to Hurt gives a brutally truthful insight into one junior doctor’s time on the frontline of the NHS.
Although we hear lots about the stresses of our NHS, we rarely hear from junior doctors themselves and this award-winning Sunday Times bestseller shares everything we want to know, and more.
An unmissable read.

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

If you haven’t already read this book, then why not? Everyone has been buzzing about it and you’ll soon find out why.
This beautifully written book focuses on the lovely, but lonely, character Eleanor. She leads a simple life, but one small act of kindness forces her to step outside of her comfort zone and find the courage to face her past.
Looking for an easy read that will make you feel all sorts of emotions? You’ve found it.
Tempted by one of these books? Be sure to share your reviews with us on Facebook or Twitter
You can guarantee that when we’re not at work, you’ll find us at home, lying on our Sleepeezee mattress , with one of these books in hand.

‘Age doesn’t matter’ and four other mattress myths busted

We’ve all probably heard the phrase ‘age doesn’t matter’ when it comes to your mattress, but this is a common misconception. A mattress changes over time and so does your body.
A well looked after mattress can indeed last up to 10 years, but it’s advised that you replace it every seven years.
However, the most important thing is that you listen to your body. Have you been waking up with aches and pains for a while now? It might be time to change your bed.

A mattress is as individual as you, and what’s right for one might not be comfortable for another. It’s important that you find a bed that works for you and your body. If you are unsure, talk to a sales adviser in-store who can show you the options available and recommend what’s best for your needs

Just as you wouldn’t buy a car without test driving it, you shouldn’t buy a bed before trying it first. A mattress is 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.
If you are sharing your bed with a partner, make sure they try it too.

Now, we’re not saying you should clean your mattress as often as you clean your sheets, but you should consider doing so every six months, even if you have a mattress protector.
Over time, your bed will gather up dust, dirt, pests and allergens that you get exposed to and will breathe in every night.
This can have a serious effect on your health, and lead to insomnia, breathing problems and possible allergies. So make sure you check the care guide for your mattress, and take a look at our top three tips for maintaining its quality.

A mattress is only as good as its base, and the two work together in harmony. A good base should be able to hold the weight of your mattress, offer even support and provide sufficient air circulation.
The wrong base can also damage your mattress, so it’s important to check what type of base is recommended before you purchase it.
So, now that you’re the mattress expert, why not try one of our beds in one of our stockist’s stores near you?

Five signs it’s time for a new mattress

Here’s five signs…

What a pain!

We all wake up with neck or back pain from time to time but if it’s becoming a regular occurrence, your mattress could be to blame. A lack of support through the night can strain muscles, reinforce a poor sleeping posture and have a bad impact on your spine.

You struggle to fall asleep

Of course, there are many factors which contribute to how easily you fall asleep, but struggling to drift off is a tell-tale sign that your mattress isn’t working for you.

It’s sagging in the middle

Regardless of weight, springs break down over time, memory foam gets softer and fabrics compress – all contributing to that sinking feeling in the middle of your mattress.

Age isn’t just a number

It’s true, a well looked after mattress can last up to 10 years. But that’s not always the case and it’s suggested that you should think about changing your mattress after you’ve had it about seven years.
Even if you think you’re still sleeping ok, you’ve probably slowly become accustomed to an average night’s sleep.

No spring in your step – just your back!

There are a number of factors that can contribute to broken mattress springs but if you’ve noticed yours starting to poke through, there’s no going back.
Any of this sound familiar? The bad news is it’s probably time to invest in a new mattress.
The good news? New technology found in our collections ensure quality, comfort and durability. Discover our collections here and read our top tips for maintaining that luxurious comfort for years and years to come.

Updating your bedroom this Spring

Here’s our top tips for creating your perfect sleep sanctuary this spring:

Is it time to change your duvet?

It may seem like an obvious step, but while we fuss over fresh sheets and finding the perfect bedding, we often neglect our duvets and stick with the same one all year round. Updating your bedroom gives you the perfect chance to question whether it’s time to ditch the winter quilt and opt for a lower tog.

Bring the outdoors in and awaken your senses

Indoor plants are more than just a pretty feature – they help create a sense of wellbeing. Filling your space with fresh flowers and greenery can improve air quality help decrease fatigue and stress.

 

Finding the right mattress

Creating your very own sleep sanctuary ultimately comes down to comfort and that means ensuring you have the right mattress. If you think it’s about time you upgraded, spend time researching different mattress types and technologies – and without a doubt, try before you buy!

We know how big of an investment a new mattress is, so why not let us help?

3 Top Tips for Mattress Maintenance

A well looked after mattress can last you up to 10 years! Yes, really! Here’s our top tips on how to maintain that luxurious comfort for years and years to come:

Tip 1 – Mattress protection

You may not think it, but we actually sweat up to 250 grams of water every night! Yuck – we know! It’s a good idea to put a mattress protector on to prevent the fabrics from unwanted stains and smells.

Tip 2 – A good bedframe

You shouldn’t invest in a new mattress if you aren’t 100% confident that the frame or base that you will be placing your new mattress onto is going to complement it. And by that we don’t mean style of course – a quality sound and correct base or frame size will ensure you are maximising the full effects of your new mattress’ comforts.

Tip 3 – Rotate, Rotate, Rotate

Just like a new pair of shoes, your mattress needs broken into. No, that doesn’t mean letting the kids jump on the bed! Allowing 2-4 weeks for this to happen is enough, after this it’s time to begin rotating your mattress. We recommend rotating your mattress end to end, every month for the first three months – please be sure to use those handles if you have them! Rotating your mattress will avoid any unwanted sagging or indentation and prolong the condition.
