Beds - something to come home to

Everyone knows the welcome feeling of getting into their own bed after being away from home.

Whilst we take our beds for granted most of the time, we're often heard to say "it's nice to get back to my own bed" after we've been away. Whether we've been away on holiday, on business or visiting relatives, there's something comforting about coming home to the bed we know and love.

The fact that we subconsciously associate our beds with the security and warmth of home says a lot about the big part that beds play in our life. From a place of privacy and sanctuary as a child, to a statement of independence, romance and relaxation as an adult, our bed, wherever we may be living at the time, is incredibly important to us. When moving house, the first thing that many people do when the removal men are unpacking is make the bed - because it's when the beds are made that the new house starts to feel like a home.

Coming home to the right bed

It's still important that we're coming home to a bed that gives us the support and comfort we need. Too often, hotel beds are lower quality than our own and have suffered from years of other people's sleeping habits and sleeping positions. We have no time to get used to them and the unfamiliar environment means that we don't usually sleep as well in a strange bed as we do in our own. When we return to a bed that offers us the support we need in order to have a good night's sleep, without rolling into our partner, or having too little room to move, we are automatically thankful to be home.

If your current bed is over 10 years old, it may be starting to perform like one of those hotel beds. A sagging mattress and old base will not contribute to a good night's sleep, so get out to a showroom and try some of the new bases and mattresses available before logging onto Bed Next Day to take advantage of our fantastic offers.
