We also explain topics such as the importance of headboards and some daily habits you can implement in your routine to get better sleep. So, let’s take a look at where you can start in order to improve your sleep quality this year!

Declutter Your Space: Beds With Internal Storage

Having a tidy bedroom equals having a tidy mind - we’ve all heard the saying, and it’s certainly true when it comes to getting better sleep. Too much chaos in the bedroom can cause over-stimulation and trigger anxiety, so you’ll be able to relax and unwind if your bedroom is organised and less cluttered. 

Our beds can certainly help you with this - designed with internal storage, our Ottoman and Divan beds can help you organise your storage and clutter, helping you get great sleep each night this year. So, let’s take a look at how these different bed types are designed and how they contribute to better sleep!

Ottoman Beds

Designed with a gas-lift system, Ottoman beds lift up and reveal plenty of underneath storage. Inside, you can store so many of your large and small items, such as suitcases, books, seasonal clothes, bedding and magazines - you name it! It might be coming up to summer and you need somewhere to store your winter clothes, or you might have come back from a holiday and need a place to store your suitcase - the ottoman bed can hide so many things that you might not want on show.

If you consider yourself as a hot sleeper and you’re tossing and turning during the night, an ottoman bed is a good option for you. Designed with a wooden slatted base, there are gaps in between that allow for more air circulation, allowing you to regulate your body’s temperature and get uninterrupted sleep each night. 

Divan Beds

Designed with chrome pull-out drawers that easily glide out, the divan bed is a compact storage solution that’s great for storing a lot of your everyday items. From underwear, socks, toiletries, books and much more - the divan bed is a great way to keep your small everyday things well-organised and protected. 

You’ll be catching so many Z’s in the divan bed, thanks to its easy access to its decluttered storage space. They’re great for those with limited mobility and for those whose bed is against a wall - your storage can be accessed with simple pull of the drawers! 

Are you someone who gets cold often during the night? Do you find yourself reaching for the electric blanket button to stay warm? Well, a divan bed is a great option for you -  they’re designed with solid bases, as opposed to slatted ones. Heat is retained and insulated better, as there are less places for it to escape, so you’re more likely to feel warm and toasty in a divan bed. During the winter season, you’ll want nothing more than to get into your warm divan bed after a long day!

Plus, our divan beds tend to be a more budget-friendly option, allowing you to get great sleep in 2026 without having to splurge. In the January sales, you’ll find even more bargains, so you can start the year by treating yourself to an affordable bed!

Discover The Right Mattress For Great Sleep

We all know that mattresses are important when it comes to getting great sleep. There are so many different types out there, so how do you even start when it comes to finding the one that’s right for you? 

But don’t worry - we’ll break down the different mattress types that we have, with their key benefits and why they might be the right one for you. 

Orthopaedic

Orthopaedic mattresses are designed with enhanced support and spinal alignment in mind - they’re crafted with thousands of springs inside. If you’re someone who regularly has back ache or joint pain, an orthopaedic mattress can alleviate this. They’re fantastic mattress choices to choose from to improve your sleep quality if you’re someone who often wakes up with aches and pains. Whether you’re an athletic person whose muscles ache from the gym, or someone who has back pain often, an orthopaedic mattress can help you get better sleep and improve the recovery process. 

Memory Foam

Memory foam mattresses are designed with a flexible latex material -  they literally remember your body’s contours, shapes and favourite sleeping positions over time. If you’re a side-sleeper or a back-sleeper and you tend to sleep in one position, a memory foam mattress can recognise your favourite positions and mould to your body over time, allowing you to get great sleep each night. 

Pocket Spring Mattresses

Are you living with your partner and find that you sometimes disrupt one another’s sleep during the night? Is your mattress too squeaky? Our pocket spring mattresses are a great investment to make for better sleep in 2026! 

Designed with individually enclosed springs, pocket spring mattresses reduce noise and motion transfer during the night. This means that you’re less likely to hear and feel your partner’s movements as they get up for a glass of water, giving you a disruption-free sleep. 

Similarly to an orthopaedic mattress, pocket spring mattresses can reduce pressure points due to the individually enclosed springs inside that improve spinal alignment.

The Importance Of Headboards

Choosing the right headboard also plays a big role when it comes to getting better sleep each night. Comfort goes beyond your pillows - the headboard acts as an extra cushioning layer between the bed and the wall, while also making it a protective barrier against wear and tear. 

Headboards are also great for relaxing and unwinding as you watch your favourite TV series or read a book before going to sleep, improving your posture and giving you plenty of support. Plus, you might find that your head board is a good noise dampener, so you won’t hear what’s happening next door or outside as much when you sleep.

Other Sleeping Tips

Now that you have discovered the different bed-set ups and accessories for better sleep, we’ll break down some extra tips that can allow you to get better sleep each night. 

A daily habit that you could do is to reduce screen time before sleeping. There is so much research out there nowadays, showing us that going on your phone or laptop before sleeping can disturb your circadian rhythm, which is essentially your “body clock.” 

You can also reset your body clock by implementing exercise into your daily routine, as it tells your brain “we used a lot of energy today so we need to relax!” Exercise has countless benefits, and getting better sleep is just one of time, especially if you live a more sedentary lifestyle. 

Creating a consistent bed time routine is also a great way to train your body clock. There’s nothing wrong with changing your routine to stay up late on weekends or on holidays, but keeping consistency during the week is a great way to let your brain and body know what time of the day is right to fall asleep and when it’s time to feel energised.
