We often don’t give much thought to our mattress. Unless it pops a spring or breaks somehow, most of us will keep using it, even long after it should have been replaced. But an old or unsupportive mattress does more than leave you tossing and turning throughout the night. It can cause back pain, insomnia, and a host of other short- and long-term health problems that we’ll discuss in this article. But first, let’s have a look at some quick facts you probably didn’t know: A mattress gains weight over time because of mites, dead skin cells, and sweat buildup.

Like most pet owners, you probably love to snuggle up with your furry friend at the end of a long day. It's a way to deepen your bond and enjoy their comforting presence. But if you have a small bed, that can be a challenge. In fact, it may have a counterproductive effect on your sleep quality, especially if you or your pet tends to move around a lot during the night. So, the best way to enjoy your furry friends without affecting your sleep quality is to invest in a family bed. A family bed is the biggest bed, meaning it has enough room for you, your partner, the kids, and the pets. It is so big that you can integrate pet-friendly accessories without interfering with anyone’s comfort. The spacious setup allows you and your loved ones to have your own space while still enjoying the closeness of sleeping...

Your bedding can make or break your sleeping experience. That’s why it’s always in your best interest to know how to dress your family bed for every season.

Summer Bedding Tips First, let’s explore the fabrics, color scheme, and duvet considerations for summer. Breathable fabrics In summer, breathability is key to comfortable sleep, so consider using lightweight and natural fiber materials, such as cotton. Cotton is durable and soft and encourages air circulation to keep you cool while sleeping.  Linen is another fantastic material known for its natural cooling and moisture-wicking properties. For that luxurious, soft feel, go for bedding sheets with a high thread count (about 400). You may also consider natural fiber pillowcases to help keep...

When it comes to decking out our huge family bed, the pillow talk gets real. It's a toss-up: do we go for fewer, king-sized pillows that promise a grand, uncluttered look, or do we embrace the cozy vibe of numerous smaller pillows, each a testament to our personal style and comfort needs? It's not just about aesthetics; it's about how we want our sleep sanctuary to feel. As we dive into this friendly debate, let's unravel the pros and cons of both choices. Whether you're a fan of plush landscapes of pillows or prefer a streamlined, majestic setup, we're here to share insights, much like a heart-to-heart between friends over coffee, but this time, it's about our bedrooms.
