March marks National Bed Month, the perfect time to reflect on how sleep plays in our overall wellbeing. With the long winter very nearly behind us and lighter days ahead, it’s the ideal time to refresh your bedroom and rethink your setup. A good night starts with the right bed, one that supports not only your body, but also your lifestyle and space needs. Sleep hygiene is another key factor we often hear about, and establishing a routine you stick to can make all the difference.
Here are our top tips on how to create the ultimate bedroom environment, from choosing the right bed to adding those finishing home touches that make all the difference.
Choosing the right bed for your space
When it comes to getting a good night’s sleep, the bed you choose matters. Whether you live in a compact studio, a shared space, or a large family home, the bed should provide comfort without compromising on space. Multifunctional beds such as our Birch Loop Stacking Bed, are perfect for smaller homes. This versatile piece can go from two single beds to a daybed or even a king-sized setup. If space is limited, choose a bed with built in storage such as designs like the Oak Platform or Moonrise – where you get practicality without sacrificing style or comfort. If you’re looking for something uncluttered and paired back, our Suratto collection features a low-level minimalist design, inspired by a floating platform to create an airy feel.
Sleep support with the right mattress
When it comes to getting a great night’s sleep, the mattress you choose makes all the difference. For those who love a soft yet supportive feel, the Comfort Mattress is a top choice, with its fresh cotton layers and durable foam providing the ideal balance of comfort and support. For those who favour firmer support, the DeepSleep Mattress gives you the flexibility of a medium-firm side and a firmer side, allowing you to customise your sleep experience for optimal comfort. If you’re looking for a luxurious option, our DeepSleep Pocket Sprung Mattress offers the perfect blend of high-tech fibres and pocket springs, surrounded by sumptuous foam for a truly restful slumber. All mattresses are expertly crafted to order in our London workshop, ensuring you get a quality piece designed to last. And for the pièce de resistance, why not add a topper for the ultimate finishing touch?
How to create a sleep-friendly environment
Your bedroom should be a peaceful retreat, free from distractions and clutter. Keep your space tidy and calming with simple storage solutions, considering furniture with built-in storage to keep essentials neatly out of sight. Narrow furniture like the Oak Narrow Wardrobe and matching Vanity Chest of Drawers, are quality pieces that take up less space.
Adding soft lighting with bedside lamps such as the Aether or diffused through a fabric pendant shade, cosy bedding, and a calming colour scheme, can also improve your sleep environment. Think soft, lightweight throws like the Isla Bedspread, bounce-back pillows, and natural textiles to make the space feel inviting and restful.
Embrace a sleep routine
A good bed can make all the difference, but a consistent sleep routine is just as important. Start by going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, even on weekends. Try implementing a relaxing ritual – whether that’s reading a book, journaling, enjoying a warm bath, or incorporating calming scents like lavender. Make your bedroom a sanctuary where you can relax and escape from the pressures of the day. Whether it’s upgrading your mattress, choosing a bed that works with your space, or adding those small touches that make the room feel more peaceful, making sleep a priority is something we can all benefit from.
