Sports Therapy: The Future of a Good Nights Sleep

Posted on October 13, 2017 by Andreea Pascariu

Here at Just 4ft Beds, we are proud to bring to you the Sports Therapy collection! An exciting range of 4ft mattresses targeted at those with an active lifestyle, the health conscience or just those who suffer with aches and pains on a daily basis – guaranteed to be a game changer in the mattress industry!

Designed to aid in recovery as you sleep, there are four mattresses within this range each with different beneficial aspects:

Airstream – with its vertical cool hypoallergenic fibre layer, this mattress offers the utmost comfort and ventilation needed for a good night’s sleep.

Gel Feel – featuring a Gel Feel foam layer, this mattress uses the latest technology to provide a constant mattress temperature as you sleep.

Blue–cool – perfect for those who sleep in the same position throughout the night, the Blu-cool technology is developed to combat the heat generated from your body as you sleep, staying cool in the summer and warm in the winter – meaning you receive a therapeutic and rested sleep no matter the weather.

Talalay Latex – Talalay latex is a natural material and is considered to be the best quality latex in the world. This mattress is mildew resistant and has anti-allergenic properties – perfect for suffers of eczema, asthma and other allergies.

Did you know that the number 1 reason for waking up in the night is a change in temperature? Your body heat can’t escape from the mattress, so your bed warms up meaning you then become unsettled. The air flow technology used within this range is designed to expel warm air from the mattress as we move naturally in the night, providing a constant flow of cool air.

Each one of these mattresses are comprised of a multi zone foam unit – this means they provide active pressure point relief whilst the castellated comfort cells provide comfort and support where needed most. Finished with a mesh border and air flow technology, the Sports Therapy range regulates body temperature throughout the night therefore achieving an uninterrupted healthy sleep.

A good night’s sleep can do wonders for both physical and mental health. According to latest research, achieving a comfortable 7 or 8 hour sleep every night can relieve stress and boost your mood as well as slowing down the ageing process. Getting a quality nights sleep is vital in aiding in recovery from aches and pains and leaves us feeling refreshed in the morning. We buy top quality exercise equipment and healthy food that preps us for activities, so why not invest in a comfortable mattress to further benefit our health?

The Sports Therapy range comes with a 5 year warranty and to ensure you receive only the best, this range has been tried and tested by professional athletes – here’s what some of them had to say!

I would definitely recommend this mattress for other elite athletes.” – Triple Paralympic medallist

“I have been using the Sports Therapy Mattress now for just over a week and have been delighted with how comfortable the mattress in comparison to my previous sprung mattress. The quality of my night’s sleep has noticeable improved already as it is so much easier to get comfortable, the feel is extremely soft and provides the right amount of support for me also.

Why Small Double Beds?

Posted on January 27, 2015 by Ben Fisher

We spend half of our lives sleeping, so choosing a comfortable yet practical bed is one of the most important decisions we can make when shopping for new furniture. Small double beds are a popular option for one very big reason – they save on space. Spacious enough for two people yet compact enough to fit in a standard sized modern bedroom, a small double bed is the antidote to limited space, with 4ft beds being the most universally popular option.

It’s 2015 and many of us are living in flats in or semi-detached houses and our bedrooms are inevitably now much smaller than they were a century ago. As time has gone on and the population grown, our homes have become smaller and therefore the need for suitable furniture has skyrocketed. Research shows that the average modern home in Britain is now almost half the size they were in the 1920s. Today, the average home measures in at only 925 square feet; one hundred years ago they averaged at 1,647 square feet – a fairly dramatic difference.

It’s official, British houses are the smallest in Europe and thanks to our shrinking homes, space-saving furniture is more popular than ever. Of course, the most important room to consider when choosing new furniture to complement our smaller spaces is the bedroom – after all, we do spend a lot of time in there!

Across the UK, city dwellers and suburbanites alike require a compact and above all comfortable solution to ensure their precious sleep isn’t jeopardised due to lack of space. This is where small double beds come into the equation. Created to meet the demand for a comfortable yet practical solution to our generally compact bedrooms, these size beds have fast become a modern necessity.

Accommodating two average adults with room to spare, small double beds will often leave enough space for additional bedroom furniture including bedside tables and ottoman blanket boxes.

A 4ft bed may seem very compact at first glance but in fact they allow you to slumber in comfort without compromising on precious space. With so many different styles available, you needn’t compromise on style either, no matter what your personal taste! After all, a smaller bedroom doesn’t have to be a boring bedroom.

A traditional, wooden small double bed is perfect for a timelessly elegant look that suits virtually any décor. Choose from painted wooden bed frames, ash or birch finish even rich mahogany for a stunning vintage look.

Metal framed small double beds are a popular option thanks to the wide selection of headboard and footboard detailing available. Featuring styles that feature intricate, elegant finials through to sophisticated minimalist detail, metal framed beds are classic in design and robust in build.

An upholstered 4ft bed is a clean, contemporary option ideal for any smaller bedroom. Choose from leather, linen or fabric upholstery in a variety of shades to find the style perfect for your room.

For a clever space –saving option, opt for a small double ottoman bed with hidden storage. To really save on space, these compact beds feature plenty of storage in the base. The bed simply flips up to reveal a hidden area perfect for storing your linens and other items, making them a small, stylish and ultimately practical option for any modern bedroom. Alternatively, a 4ft bed with inbuilt drawers in the base is ideal for saving on space.
