How old is
your existing bed ?
Most beds should be replaced every 8 - 10 years. An
old bed may look fine, but after so many years of use, the fillings and
springs would not be supporting you as well as they should be. Never
accept a second hand bed, unless it is absolutely necessary, firstly beds
made before 1986 don't meet the UK's basic fire safety regulations, and
secondly old beds are also likely to harbor dust mites and dust mite
allergen.
How much
should I spend ?
Spend as much as you can afford. It is true, that
the more you spend, the better the quality. Just think, that a bed
is an investment to your health and well being, not just somewhere to lay
your head.
If you purchased a bed costing £1,000.00, it would work
out at £100.00 per year over ten years.....not much when you consider the
support, and better sleep you would get out of it! |
Our
top tips
 |
Firstly, work out how much you can
afford to spend.
|
|
When choosing a bed, measure your
existing bed at home. Can you fit a larger bed in the room
? The more space you have the better.
|
|
Do you need extra storage? Most
divan beds are available with drawers, although it costs a little
more, it may be worth it.
|
|
Unless absolutely necessary, try to buy a complete
divan bed, keeping your existing base could reduce the lifespan of
your new mattress.
|
| If you suffer from back problems, mention this when you are looking
for a new bed. The sales person can then advise you on firmer or
more supportive mattresses. |
