Still awake The bed is the reason you are up.

Not a lecture on sleep. The dip under you, the foam that will not let the heat go, the neighbour through the wall, the tog that was chosen for the month instead of the room.

57 guides for a British bedroom.

A wooden slatted bed with a spirit level laid across the slats, white bedding above Look under the mattress before you blame it.
  1. The dip That sag may be the slats, not the mattress. Check the frame, and the warranty, before you spend on a new one.
  2. The heat Memory foam is built to hold your heat. A British bedroom, with the windows shut and the air damp, makes that worse tonight.
  3. The smell That musty whiff is moisture in the mattress. It is not “old sheets”. Sort the damp before it becomes mould.
  4. The flat You cannot make the neighbour quiet. You can stop the bedroom acting like a speaker.
  5. The morning An uncomfortable morning? Check the setup. Pillow height and mattress firmness affect how comfortable the bed feels.
  6. The new one A week of a sore back is often the base, not a bad buy. The setup and the rotation come before you decide it was the wrong mattress.
  7. On your side A “soft” label is not an answer. Weight and shoulder width change which mattress actually holds you.

On top of the mattress

The bedding is a different argument.
