So how much sleep do we need?
The Royal College of Psychiatrists describe how most people, including older people need about 8 hours sleep each night. It is a common misconception that we don’t need as much sleep as we grow older, however what is true, from our experience, is that many people do not get as much sleep as they grow older.
Considering that most people spend one third of their life in bed, what we have found is that beds are usually the one piece of furniture that we own the longest, we use the most and we pay the least attention to, yet it’s the one piece of furniture that can make the difference to your sleep. When your bed is no longer providing you with the comfort and support you need, it will affect the quantity and quality of your sleep and may affect the quality of your life.
In 1988, sleep expert Dr Idzikowski found, following a two year study, that changing an old uncomfortable bed for a comfortable new one, could deliver extra sleep at night, in fact Dr Idzikowski found that in those circumstances a new comfortable bed delivered four times more extra sleep that that achieved by over the counter sleeping medications. So if you’re not sleeping well then maybe it’s time to consider a new bed, if it’s time to consider a new bed, then maybe it’s time to consider a new generation of sleep system – a system that can deliver a unprecedented level of comfort – so maybe it’s time to consider a Comfomatic Sleep System.
