You and Your Bed: Is It Time For A Change?

Posted on - 20th February 2020

If you're considering buying a new bed, knowing where to start can be difficult.

Searching online offers plenty of information about upgrading your mattress but knowing when it's the right time to buy a new bed can be tricky. Put simply, changing your bed is all a matter of personal opinion. Some people decide to buy a new bed when they upgrade their mattress whilst others may wait for years!

The general consensus is that you should replace your bed frame at least every ten years, but most people are more likely to buy one every 15 to 20 years. This is generally advised across the industry due to frames naturally deteriorating over time.

If you're on the market for a new bed but you're unsure where to start, here's our quick-fire guide to making the right choice for you.

Beds for Practicality

We all know that beds have one main function – to allow us a comfortable space to sleep on our perfectly selected mattress. But, how often do you think about the all-round practicality of your bed?

Do you look around the room, and wonder where you can find that extra storage? If storage is an issue, an excellent option is our Walkworth ottoman bed. Ottoman beds can be a great alternative to the traditional Divan bed, they reduce the need for plenty of space to open drawers and enable you to use the full space.
So, if it is time for a change, think practical, think more storage. Think Ottoman.

Design – New room, new bed

Do you wait until you redecorate your bedroom to replace your bed?

As the main focus of the room, you either want it to stand out with a POP! Or match the room perfectly. When selecting your new bed, the décor of the room will be at the forefront of your thoughts. Whether you look for bold colour, simple wooden frames, or sleek leather headboards. You can find a range of coloured fabric and leather frames to suit your home design. Or whether you look for a minimalist design; ottoman and divans reduce the need for more storage and prioritise other types of bedroom furniture.

Change of Mattress – the complete change

Some of us have a regular overhaul of our complete bed set-up, base, mattress and soft furnishings included. The recommended life of a mattress is between 7- 10 years. At this point you may have become bored with seeing the same frame/base, so why not change everything together!

When you look for a complete overhaul, we can find you the best mattress to suit both your needs and your frame. Alternatively, you can start with the frame of your dreams, and we can work on getting you the best night’s sleep, with a mattress to fit.

Mobility Matters

Some new bed choices are due to necessity. Worsening mobility often leads to the need for electric base beds, allowing the user to comfortably get in or out.
Our range of adjustable beds is ever-evolving to keep up with new technology, allowing the best for our customers at the time. Each customer can find the right one to suit their needs by popping in-store and talking to our knowledgeable team.

Seeing is believing

You have to see the ranges on offer to be able to truly appreciate them. A selection of our beds is available to view online. For the full range and to discuss your needs visit our showroom and speak to one of our experts.
