Linx Beds lets you custom-build the perfect bed, ensuring you get the support and comfort you need for a great night’s sleep


A


quick walk around our homes will soon reveal areas that


require attention — tired-looking fl ooring in the kitchen, a reception room in need of a revamp, or a bath- room crying out to be beautifi ed. But too often we forget the bedroom and bed — a room and piece of furniture we use every day. Spending nearly a third of our lives sleeping means this is one area we can’t aff ord to neglect. We may buy new bedding, dress the windows and replace the carpet yet still overlook the impor- tance of the centrepiece: our bed. Easily


demands of daily life and frequently lost under attractive


forgotten amid the coverings,


pillows, clothes and accessories, we lose track of when we purchased our bed and mattress and underesti- mate 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? Most of us won’t need reminding


that both the quality and quantity of our sleep impacts our daily lives. Sleep is as vital to us as food and drink; it’s something we can’t long function well without. When we see how sleep is able to powerfully heal our bodies and assist in healing skin cells, then we truly appreciate


A zip and link bed is made up of two single bed bases and cleverly joined together at both the head and foot with two single mattresses that easily zip together


that beauty sleep is indeed a reality. Waking refreshed sets a precedent for the day, lifting our mood and replenishing our strength. ‘Matrah’ is the Arabic word


from which we derive the word ‘mattress’, literally meaning ‘some- thing thrown down’. Mattresses were in the past fi lled with straw, feathers, cotton or wool, with the fi rst coil springs not appearing until the late 19th century. Designed to support our reclining


bodies, a mattress laid on a divan is the most popular choice in the Western world. A single upholstered unit often incorporating drawers, a divan continues to deliver a fi rm base on which to lay our mattress. Mattresses will deteriorate over


time and unlike many household items don’t come with built-in reminders warning us that they need replacing. Nor can we always readily observe any problems. As the years pass, they collect a staggering amount of dust mites, dead skin cells and oils. This can contribute to issues related to eczema, asthma and allergy. Too often, general aches and pains are attributed to growing older or a demanding day when the


fault lies with a misshapen


and tired mattress that has caused our muscles to tighten, leaving us with less support and a bad back. A mattress needs to provide support and comfort, and with a recom- mended life span of fi ve to eight years maybe it’s worth considering a change. As we enter diff erent seasons in our life, we may also feel we need a diff erent type of support or a more modern look and feel. A zip and link bed is an ideal solu-


tion to all the various challenges involved in choosing a new bed. Made

up of two single bed bases and clev- erly joined together at both the head and foot with two single mattresses that easily zip together, this design off ers great versatility. If your home has limited access, such as narrow staircases or low ceilings, then a zip and link bed takes the concern away by ensuring you can have that large double bed, after all. It also gives you fl exibility by being able to simply separate in to two singles for other occasions. Storage drawers are another bonus, off ering an attractive way to clear away clutter. Linx Beds’ ‘Build a Bed’ website


gives you the freedom to custom- build your bed base (with or without drawers), headboard and mattress from a range of fabrics, styles and colours. It creates images of limit- less combinations until you’re happy you’ve chosen your perfect bed. To add a personal twist, why not consider selecting your own fabric, and when we receive this we can make your bed up in your own bespoke design. It’s guaranteed to stand out from all the rest and to fi t perfectly with all your furnishings.


Create a king When you need to quickly combine two twin beds into one king-size bed, why not give the ‘create a king’ option a try? • Retain the independence of twin beds but easily create a king


• A two-inch connecting belt wraps around the mattresses, securely bringing the beds together


• Easy and quick to install • Sheepskin material covers the centre strip


Used at many prestigious hotels, this design allows for the rigorous demands of the hospitality industry but works in the home as a simple but cost-eff ective tool to bring beds together. Enjoy king-size comfort without the king-size expense.
