If you’ve been watching the news recently you might have seen the story about couples being advise to sleep in separate beds to save their marriage! A study from a sleep expert at Surry University found that sleeping in different beds can prevent arguments over duvet-hogging, snoring and fidgeting for a proper night’s sleep. Poor sleeping patterns can increase the risk of a stoke, heart disease and…divorce!

We’re not quite sure that sounds like the best way to keep a marriage alive, maybe these people should invest in a better mattress or bigger bed. A pocket sprung mattress would be ideal if your parter fidgets a lot during the night because it is made up of many individual springs that move independently of each other so they provide targeted support and comfort. You might want to also take a look at Silent Night’s range of beds that have their unique ‘no roll’ together feature that prevents sleep disturbance and beds with support running right to the edge for a wider sleep space.

If you find your partner hogs the bed, why not buy a bigger bed? We have a fantastic range of king size and super king size beds that offer that extra space for a better night’s sleep than a double bed. We have plenty of these larger bed sizes in our divan, metal, wooden and leather bed sections with matching mattresses available.

Of course, if it’s your partner’s snoring that’s keeping you awake, maybe you should take the advice and sleep in separate bedrooms….or simply invest in some ear plugs!
