Sealy beds

Here at UK Bed Store, we have a fantastic working relationship from one of the biggest mattress and bed experts in the industry. Sealy.

A Sealy bed is sold somewhere in the world every 3 seconds!! And, no, it’s not the same one , over and over 😉

The Sealy brand started in the small town of Sealy, Texas, when a cotton gin builder and operator named Daniel Haynes fulfilled a request from a neighbour to build a cotton filled mattress in 1881.

Requests for mattresses from Sealy grew and grew, as did the Sealy mattress reputation, so much that in 1906, Haynes sold his patents and expertise to a Texas company which took the Sealy name. After registering the Sealy name, advertising with the slogan of “sleeping on a Sealy is like sleeping on a cloud” followed.

In 1950, the Sealy Posturepedic brand mattress was introduced, and in 1956, Sealy became the first company to display and advertise king size bedding. In 1967, Sealy had another first, with prime time commercials for the Sealy Posturepedic brand.

Today, Sealy are the biggest bed manufacturer in the world, with manufacturing and marketing operations throughout the world, and have the industry’s biggest research and development facility in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The Sealy mattresses and beds you buy from us are made right here in the UK and are NBF (Nation Bed Federation) approved.

You’ll soon be a deeper sleeper by choosing to sleep on a Sealy Posturepedic bed or mattress.

The benefits of a pocket spring mattress

Your mattress is your essential accessory to get a great nights sleep.

And there’s nothing better than a great nights sleep on a quality pocket spring mattress.

But what are the benefits of a pocket spring mattress? Don’t be scared by the price of a pocket spring mattress, as they tend to last a lot longer (when cared for in the right way) than probably buying 2 or 3 cheap mattresses.

Lets look at the workings of a pocket spring mattress. Instead of the classic coil spring mattress, which is essentially one continuous wire structure, coiling around to produce the springs, a pocket spring mattress is filled with individual springs, each sitting in its own fabric pocket.

The number of pocket springs varies greatly, from around 300 to around 10 thousand. The finish of the pocket spring mattress can vary with the addition of a layer of memory foam, or gel or latex for a final contour moulding to your body.

Another of the main benefits of a pocket spring mattress is that it helps greatly with eliminating “roll together” between you and your partner, which is excellent if there is a weight difference between you and your partner, as the individual springs support your body in a much better way than a traditional coil spring mattress.

So, the benefits of a pocket spring mattress are many. Value for money in the long term, as the pocket spring mattress will (with the right care) last longer than a mattress from a different construction. Little to no roll together between you and your partner. Many variations on the number of pocket springs help you choose your perfect mattress with firmness ratings and individual comfort preference. Different finishes too, for individual preference. Eg memory foam, latex, gel or a simple fibre on top of the springs.

One thing you can be sure of though, that the main benefit of a pocket spring mattress is a great nights sleep.

Sliding door wardrobes

Wardrobes. Just somewhere to hang your clothes, right? Well, yes, strictly speaking, that’s true enough. But there’s much more to a wardrobe than storage.

When choosing a wardrobe, or wardrobes, there are a few things to consider. What colour do you want? How much do you want to spend? What colour and style wardrobe do you like? From a single wardrobe to 2 doors, to 3 doors, to 4 doors, to fully fitted wardrobes, you can get a wardrobe to suit your style, space and budget.

If you need a lot of storage space, but are quite limited for space in your bedroom, then a sliding door wardrobe can be the perfect solution. A sliding door wardrobe immediately cuts down on the amount of space you need for a wardrobe of similar size which has normally opening doors. If you’re a little cramped for space, a sliding door wardrobe can help greatly. Simply slide the easy glide door open and hang, or choose your clothes.

There are different styles of sliding door wardrobe too. From simple, wooden sliding doors, to a sliding door wardrobe complete with a full mirrored door, in a variety of colours too.

Here at UK Bed Store, we stock some beautiful sliding door wardrobes, with or without mirror doors, in a variety of colours, from Birlea, in their glossy Lynx range. They are unbelievably low in price, and have free delivery too. Just perfect.

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!
