Most underestimate the importance of sleep even through a good night’s sleep improves our quality of life by rejuvenating the body and mind which can:
- improve healing, memory and weight loss
- make you look younger
- make you happier, positive and alert
However according to the UK’s Sleep Council …Nearly half of us are getting just six hours of sleep or less a night. And an alarming four out of five people complain of disturbed or inadequate – or ‘toxic’ – sleep. (Sleep Council ‘Toxic Sleep’ survey, January 2011)
Does this resonate with you? Well, feedback from our satisfied customers who’ve brought new beds from us over the years is that they were sleeping better than ever. This got us curious – was there evidence to support these claims? We found these two interesting research results that supported our customer’s claims:
You may get a better night’s sleep from buying a new bed than popping a sleeping pill. UK respondents were also outnumbered by nearly three to one in their use of sleeping pills with just 7% of those taking part using them as opposed to 18% of their overseas counterparts. (Sleep Council and Dr Chris Idzikowski two-year research project 1999-2001)
People who complained that their old bed was uncomfortable slept nearly one hour less than those who were not unhappy with their old bed – a degree of sleep loss which could amount to a long-term health hazard. (Sleep Council and Dr Chris Idzikowski two-year research project 1999-2001)
