      4 Bed MOT

      A good night’s sleep often depends on how comfortable your bed is. Studies show that, on average, people with uncomfortable beds sleep 1 to 2 hours less at night than those with comfortable beds.

      If your bed is fewer than 8 years old, a mattress-topper – a comfortable, supportive layer that sits on top of your mattress – can be the perfect solution. If your bed is older than 8, it will definitely need replacing.

      When buying a new mattress, check that it supports your body at all points. If you aren’t getting enough support you’ll get back pain, but a mattress that’s too hard can create uncomfortable pressure. There is nothing wrong with a soft mattress as long as it gives you enough support, especially in the small of your back and under your knees. The ideal mattress should keep your spine in alignment and distribute pressure evenly across your body. A mattress has to be soft enough to fill in the gap under your lower back, but not so soft that it sags completely under your weight.
