A restful slumber
Restless nights can be a thing of the past with the right bed, just ask the experts at Christie’s.
Being well rested does wonders for our physical health and mind set, and leads to productive, happy days. However, recent studies suggest that we’re not getting as much sleep as we should, and we all know how far a sleepless night can set us back. With the right bed to suit your individual needs, you can increase the quality of your sleep nightly and feel the benefit day to day!
Catching up with Peter Blell, owner of Christie’s Furniture and The Christie’s Bed Shop in Penryn, we ask him for his top tips when it comes to shopping for that super comfortable new bed. The bigger the better “Make sure you think about the size of your room and what size bed will fit,” Peter suggests. “Bigger is better! Studies indicate that the average person wiggles 60 to 70 times per night, so the bigger the bed, the less likely you’ll be disturbed by your partner.”
Optimise your storage
“Having up to four side drawers or a front or side opening ottoman takes up no more space, whilst providing excellent storage!” First entering the English market during the late 18th century from the Ottoman Empire, nowadays, ottoman beds offer practical space without having to sacrifice on style. Christie’s have a fantastic range to suit any budget and style, including both leather and upholstered beds!
Sharing is caring
If you’re sharing your new bed then Peter suggests trying it out together. “You both need a supportive and comfortable bed to aid with improved sleep. If you both have different comfort preferences, perhaps consider a dual tension bed where one half is softer or firmer than the other. This way, you both get the firmness that you need.”
Comfort is key
It may seem obvious, but choosing the right bed to provide comfort and support is essential to consistent quality sleep. But, as Peter puts it: “Everybody is different. This is why we have over 100 different beds on display, including the best award-winning models. We can also provide expert advice to ensure you get the support and comfort that’s right for you.”
How does it look?
Be sure that your new bed looks as good as it feels. “Couple up your mattress with either a divan bed base – available in hundreds of different fabrics, with or without a matching headboard – or a bed frame, also available in different fabrics, materials and styles. Your bed, your bedroom, your style!”
Stick to your budget
Finally, Peter stresses the importance of staying within budget. “Our beds start from £49 and go all the way up to £5,999! Spend as much as you can afford for improved comfort and support, but stick to your budget.”
