But most beds weren’t made for memories like that. A standard king might sound big, until you’re sharing it with two kids, a Labrador, and a dream of just one uninterrupted night’s sleep. That’s why more and more families are asking the same question: Can one bed really fit all of us, and still leave room to breathe? Yes, it can. It’s called The Family Bed by Taylor & Wells, and it’s changing the way families sleep, snuggle, and stay close. This mattress is a lifestyle shift for co-sleepers, pet parents, movie-night lovers, and anyone who believes that togetherness doesn’t have to come at the expense of...

Family Bed Perks: Why You Should Consider Sleeping Together

As a parent, you want to spend more time with your children and spouse. But work, homework, tech, etc., tend to get in the way.
