Sleep Matters
Jones and Tomlin is a Sussex based, family run business that has been selling the finest premium bed brands since 1946. They have stores in Worthing, Horsham, Bosham and Guildford and have made it a generational mission to understand beds and what really matters when it comes to getting a great night’s sleep.
What matters when choosing a bed?
On average, one third of your life will be spent in bed and most of us accept that a good night’s sleep is vital to wellbeing. Whilst it is of course true that the quality of your sleep can be affected by many things, having a bed and bedroom that creates a sense of calm, safety and relaxation, and is conducive to sleep, sits at the heart of both your ability to sleep well and your wellbeing. With this in mind, there are three main areas that you need to consider when you’re choosing a bed.
Practicalities
First of all, there are the practical considerations. The size and storage capacity of your bed need to be determined by your individual lifestyle. So the sort of questions you need to ask yourself are do you want to be able to fit the kids or grandkids comfortably into your bed with you on a Saturday morning? Do you move about a lot in your sleep, and do you want a headboard so you can sit in bed comfortably with a morning coffee? Is storage in your bedroom an issue and if so, what works better for you, ottoman style storage or drawers?
Cost is also often an important practical consideration because if you’re buying a good quality bed, you want to make sure, it’s value for money. Many Jones and Tomlin beds have a life span of 15 to 20 years meaning your investment in a good bed also represents great value.
Aesthetics
Your bedroom has to be a place that makes you feel good from the moment you walk through the door or wake up. That means getting the right style and interior design and central to that will always be your bed and bed linen.
In terms of bed design, there’s a lot of choice from metal, cane and wooden bedsteads to fabric headboards in a fabric that you choose to match the rest of your interior design. If you visit Jones and Tomlin, they not only have a large selection of beds and fabrics to help inspire you with some ideas, but they can also create the bed of your dreams in terms of a bespoke colour, size or style, and so that it matches the rest of your bedroom.
Supporting your sleep
A common misunderstanding when buying a bed is that you need a mattress that is firm. But in fact, it’s the support and comfort levels that are important. The right amount of support is the level of resistance to your body weight that creates a feeling of weightlessness. Comfort is more about the softness of the mattress. Materials and fabrics are of course important too. A mattress with natural upholstery helps regulate your temperature and then you should choose pillows and bed linen that will help create that blissful feeling of luxury and relaxation as you slip into bed.
It’s this magic combination of great style, practicality and supportive but soft comfort that is the secret behind the perfect bed and a great night’s sleep. And Jones and Tomlin pride themselves on helping you find that perfect fit. Their customer service is second to none and their showrooms have plenty of choice to inspire you.
