New parents, night feeds, toddlers who climb in
When sleep comes in pieces, every piece has to count.
Two hours here, ninety minutes there, one of you up at three and the other trying not to wake. Nobody is going to sell you eight hours. What a mattress can do is make sure the hours you get are deep ones, and that one person getting up does not wake the other.
Your day
Broken sleep, done properly
You cannot get more sleep right now. You can get better sleep.
The body drops into deep sleep faster when it is comfortable and cool and not being nudged. On an old mattress every time your partner gets up for the baby, the whole bed moves and you surface. On pocket springs, each spring moves on its own, so one side of the bed can get up and the other stays asleep.
A strong edge matters more than you would think. Sitting on the side of the bed to feed at 3am, a bed with a soft edge tips you off it. And when a toddler joins you at five, a bed that stays cool and level with three bodies on it is the one you will be grateful for.
Why it matters
What better sleep does for a parent
Getting back off
Falling back asleep after a feed is the whole game. A cool, pressure-relieving surface gets you back under in minutes rather than lying there.
Not waking each other
Pocket springs and no motion transfer. One of you up, the other one none the wiser. It is the most useful feature a bed has in the first year.
Patience
Everyone is short of it on four hours. Deep sleep is where it comes from.
The Zero Gravity range
Built for deep sleep, not just hours
Our own Signature Beds range, made in Britain. Four mattresses that share one idea: take the pressure off, keep you cool, keep you level, so you stay in the deep stages of sleep where recovery actually happens.
The Zero Gravity layer spreads your weight across the whole surface instead of loading the hips and shoulders, so you shift less and stay in deep sleep longer.
Zero Tex and gel-infused tops are built not to hold heat. Core temperature has to drop for the body to go into deep sleep; a hot mattress fights that all night.
Pocket springs move independently under you. Whatever you did to your back today, it is not being held in a bend for eight hours.
Made to order in around two weeks. Every one is on the showroom floor in Clydebank to lie on for as long as it takes to be sure.
