Ottoman Storage Beds

We all have lots of clutter, clothes, books, magazines lying around, but what can we do about all of this stuff when our wardrobes and drawers are full to bursting?

An excellent solution to all this clutter is to have an ottoman storage bed. Ottoman storage beds come in single, small double, kingsize and super kingsize, so they are great for any room such as kids bedrooms and adult bedrooms alike. You can even have a divan too.

Ottoman storage beds are available in a variety of materials too. You can have an ottoman storage bed made from wood, such as oak, leather and faux leather, and fabric upholstered as well. Whatever your taste, you will find an ottoman storage bed which is right for you.

We sell a beautiful collection from Emporia beds, who design and supply a fabulous range of quality ottoman storage beds, such as this stunning Sovereign sleigh style fabric upholstered bed, finished in charcoal.

Victorian bed frames are as popular now as they’ve ever been. Some of the endearing qualities of Victorian bed frames is that they never go out of fashion, the style and detailing is always pleasing on the eye and the quality of build can be amazing.

Choosing the right Victorian bed frame for you is something to consider carefully. Do you want your Victorian bed frame to be an exact replica from days gone by? Or do you want your bed to be Victorian in style, but a with little more of a modern twist?

Here at UK Bed Store, we sell a fabulous collection of Victorian style bed frames by the Original Bedstead Company (OBC). They create fabulous reproductions of genuine beds of old from the very best cast metals. The weight of them gives the quality away immediately.

A beautiful example of a Victorian bed frame is above, the Ardmore from OBC. This amazing bed frame has ornate cast detailing and will last you for years to come.

The Parent’s Guide To Mid Sleeper Beds

As a parent, you want your little one’s to sleep peacefully. You may think this solely depends on how much sugar they’ve had during the day, but the choice of bed also comes into play. Every child gets to a certain age where they grow out of their toddler bed (even though you wish they could stop growing up so fast!)

If you’re a parent and looking to promote your child to a bigger bed, but they are not quite ready for a single bed yet, the mid sleeper bed is the ideal choice. In this guide, we will look at why you should choose one for your child and list the differences between them and bunk beds, a bed which they are commonly confused with.

Why Choose A Mid Sleeper Bed For Your Child?

There are many reasons why you should choose a mid sleeper bed for your child over other types of children’s beds. These include:

Space-Saving – One of the best features is their space-saving design. Unlike a traditional single bed that rests directly on the floor, mid sleeper beds provide valuable space underneath for a cosy play area or additional storage. This is ideal for bedrooms with limited space.

Versatile – Mid sleeper beds are incredibly versatile and adaptable to the developing and growing needs of your child. As they grow, the under-bed space can be repurposed into a study nook for doing homework. This makes it a long-term investment that evolves with your child’s needs.

Suitable For Various Age Groups – Thanks to its unique design, the mid sleeper bed is suitable for various age groups. From toddler years when safety rails are a priority to pre-teen years when the under-bed space can be transformed into a functional area, providing a seamless and cost-effective transition.

What is The Difference Between Bunk Beds and Mid Sleeper Beds?

Bunk beds are another popular choice for children’s bedrooms. Some parents may find it hard to decide between bunk beds or mid sleeper beds. The main differences between bunk beds and mid sleeper beds include:

Design – At a glance, bunk beds are designed with two stacked beds, one above the other. Making them ideal for two siblings or children. As we have learned earlier, mid sleeper beds consist of one bed elevated at a moderate height and equipped with a safe ladder for access, providing more under-bed space.

Adaptability – Bunk beds and mid sleeper beds are both suitable for various ages. However, children may reach an age in their pre-teens where they desire their own bedroom and bed, making mid sleeper beds more adaptable as your child grows.

Leather Beds – Real vs. Faux:

The issues surrounding the use of real leather products are genuine and diverse, too much so for one blog post to capture. In the interest of humanity, we only stock faux leather beds in our collection. To broach the issue is tricky, but when it comes to aesthetic issues, there are clear positives and negatives.

Real vs. Faux – The Differences for Leather Beds:

Leather Beds in Staffordshire from UK Bed Store

Firstly, let’s consider the merits of using real leather. It possess an unmistakable smell and touch that’s evocative of its luxurious appearance. Not only that, but it wears with age, often giving it a more distinguished and mature look as time passes. These traits simply can’t be replicated. However, leather is also high maintenance. To keep it looking its best, it require regular waxing. It also tends to stretch with use, not a positive trait when used for a leather bed.

On the other hand, there is faux leather. Faux leather is very low cost and is produced to order. It’s shape and colour aren’t defined by the hide of the right beast. It involves less overall waste, both in terms of material and in terms of wildlife. Faux leather is much lower maintenance. If anything is spilled on the body of a leather bed, it can easily be wiped clean – and waterproof options are available. Faux leather also doesn’t crack or fade like real leather – associated positives and negatives as they are, depending on whether you want to keep the look or let it mature. Faux leather does come in a wide range of finishes and colours and, as such, can emulate the look of a mature leather bed right from day one.

The choice of which materials to use is always up the designers, and of course up to you the customer as to which products you want to support. Let us know which type of leather you prefer in the comments bellow!

Memory Foam and its Health Benefits:

We all deserve a good night’s sleep, that’s easily agreed, but more than 50% of Britons suffer from not getting enough sleep. This can have serious health ramifications in the long-term. Memory foam mattress offer a number of benefits and one of them is that the orthopaedic assistance that they offer can give you the good night’s sleep you deserve.

The Effects of Poor Sleep:

67% of people in the Great British Sleep Survey cited that they suffered from bodily discomfort that negatively affected their sleep. When the survey gauged the psychological impact of poor sleep, it concluded that people were:

  • 7 times more likely to feel helpless.
  • 5 times more likely to feel alone.
  • 3 times more likely to struggle to concentrate.
  • Twice as likely to suffer from fatigue.
  • Twice as likely to have relationship problems.
  • Twice as likely to suffer from low mood.
  • Twice as likely to struggle to be productive.

The Benefits of a Memory Foam Mattress:

Sealy Orthopaedic Memory Foam Mattress

The physical benefits of a good night’s sleep are well documented. Sleep boosts your immunity to disease, prevents diabetes, wards away heart disease, and increase both sex drive and fertility. With reasons like this, it’s inarguable as to why you should be focused on getting more sleep; we can help with that.

Sealy memory foam mattresses are the most popular brand of bed in the world, with good reason. All of their memory foam mattresses are evaluated by the Orthopaedic Advisory Board, a selection of doctors and scientists who specialise in sleep science.

Sealy’s Posturepedic beds have a unique ‘zonal support’ system which uses memory foam to ensure your spine is supported and aligned to its natural shape. They provide greater ‘push back’ support to areas of the body where weight is concentrated. This  approach helps prevent tossing and turning at night, when you don’t rest properly because your body isn’t comfortable and properly supported.
