and bring comfort and style to the rooms in which we spend most of our waking hours, especially those used for entertaining. How- ever, too often we forget the bedroom or the bed — a room and piece of furniture we know we’ll use every day. Spending nearly a third of our life sleeping means this is one piece of fur- niture we can’t aff ord to neglect. We may buy new bedding, dress the windows, even replace the carpet, yet still overlook the importance of the centrepiece: your bed. Easily forgotten amid the demands of daily life, we lose track of when we purchased our bed and mattress, and underestimate the benefi ts to mind and body of making sure it’s providing both the support and comfort we need. A newly made bed sets the tone for the room, but have we recently checked what lies beneath?

It’s nothing new to be reminded that both the quality and quantity of our sleep impacts our daily lives. Sleep is as vital to our lives as food and drink, something we simply can’t func- tion without.

Too often, general aches and pains are attributed to growing older or a demand- ing day, when actually the fault lies with a misshapen and tired mattress that’s caused our muscles to tighten, leaving us with less support and a bad back. A mattress needs to provide comfort and support, and with a recommended life span of fi ve to eight years, maybe it’s time you considered a change. As we enter diff erent seasons in our life, we may also feel we need diff erent support or a more modern look and feel.


great versatility. If your home has limited access, such as narrow staircases or low ceil- ings, then a zip-and-link bed takes much of the concern away by ensuring you can have that large double bed after all. It also gives you fl exibility in being able to simply sepa- rate into two singles for other occasions. With optional storage drawers, they can also provide a more attractive way to clear the clutter or store additional bedding linen. Linx Beds’ unique ‘Build a Bed’ feature


allows you the freedom to design and plan just the right bed for you and your room. Linx off ers the freedom to choose a base fabric from a range of fabric types and colours that you won’t want to be hidden away. You can even send in your own fab- ric choice should the company’s range not complement your room’s colour scheme. Bases are constructed with a variety of options, such as drawers or even having a guest bed under- neath. Linx’s headboards can be fi tted to all base types and have their own styles to choose from, with the fabric matched to the base for continuity. Finally, the mattress is select- ed and Linx has a range designed to off er a perfect solution for everyone’s needs. From conception to completion, you can view your ideal bed right in front of you. After everything is selected, your bed is guaranteed to stand out from the rest and fi t perfectly with all your furnishings.
