Buying Guide for Beds

We spend, on average, one third of our lives asleep. A good night’s sleep is essential for a good day ahead. An uncomfortable bed, particularly one over 10 years old, is bad for your health. It won’t give you the support you need and can cause numerous aches and pains. That means a disturbed night, and a bad start to the day.

An old bed will be home to thousands of dust mites who live off your dead skin cells. They are likely to trigger or worsen allergies. A second-hand bed or a new mattress on an old base can lead to health and back problems. Consider too that a person loses up to a quarter of a litre of perspiration every night, which is absorbed into the mattress, and a new bed has never been more appealing or affordable: over a 10 year life span, a new bed can improve the quality of your life for as little as 10p a night.

A new bed is one of the most important purchases you will ever make, so it is worth investing time and effort in making the best choice.

Furniture Village have highly trained sales consultants on hand to answer all your queries. We are committed to giving you peace of body and of mind, day and night. So every bed in our range carries our own five year quality guarantee. We also offer a 5 year furniture protection programme called Bedgard.

A growing number of couples are buying king sized beds (W150 x L200 cm). More space generally gives a more relaxed sleep. Our Choosing a new bed guide gives you all the options and choice available to you.
