Adjustamatic Beds

I love my sleep. I also love the time I spend in bed with my husband. Now before you get all outraged this isn’t a post about that but more about us chilling out, enjoying time in bed relaxing together and being comfortable. 

We currently hold the world record for the number of pillows on our bed (I assume). I think Roy has seven and I have five. Obviously, we don’t sleep with all them, they get tossed to the bottom of the bed or onto the floor, however, we like to be well propped up. You see, we might go up to bed sometimes as early as 7.30pm. We don’t sleep at this time but we get out of our work clothes (etc), get PJs or whatever on and relax.

Bedtime relaxing might be watching shows on Netflix on the TV, we might read, Roy might write or draw, I might use my tablet. We do our own thing, together. To me this is a perfect way to finish off a day, however, lumpy pillows that slide down the back of the mattress is not what I’d call the best set-up. To be honest, once upon a time I might have considered looking at Adjustamatic single electric beds (I’ve had no end of back troubles in the past) however as they now offer the same benefits for those looking for a double this is a bonus and one we might well investigate for ourselves.

Sleep, as well as relaxed and support chilling out time in bed is important to us. We both work hard and good sleep is important for good health. Would we consider investing in an Adjustamatic bed so that we could both sit/lie comfortable? I think we would! 

What about you? Have you tried an Adjustamatic bed or fancied one? We’ll be upgrading our bed sooner rather than later and this option is most definitely on our list so I’d love to hear your thoughts on what we should buy!

 

Shattered and needing your help!

Double Mattress
I could quite happily jump in!

Sleep. Something taken so much for granted, certainly by me! I remember (with some embarrassment now) proclaiming how utterly exhausted I was after a late night after being out on the tiles, or after being up too late on Ebay.

Now I have children. I know what tired is!

Luckily (please don’t throw anything at me!), both my boys slept through quite early, Kieran who is now 4.5yrs sleep through from 3.5weeks and Taylor, who is now 4.5months slept through from 7 weeks. I rarely have interrupted nights as such but I don’t often feel like I have slept well if that makes sense? For the past 6 years or so I have woken up pretty much bang on 5am, regardless of the season, what time I went to bed etc so the time I do spend in bed, needs to be quality time.

I am currently dipping my toes into some amateur interior design, and the last room on the list is our bedroom. I’m fast coming round to thinking it should be much further up! You see our room, is less boudoir, more storage room. We’ve been in this house for over 3 years and I am ashamed to say haven’t got a decent lightshade up yet! The cheap, knock together bed we bought as a “just for now” thing, is still here (and is still hideous) so a new double bed is also a must.

So – Mums, Dads, Interior design gurus…. do you have any tips on how I can maximise (on a budget) the storage in a very small room, and make my room somewhere I can relax and properly switch off? I’m looking for colour advice, materials, style, lighting, anything that will promote a good night’s sleep for this busy, and quite frankly shattered Mum! First on the list might have to be a new double mattress!

 

I’m looking forward to hearing your ideas! I will now pop and get another bucket of coffee and continue ploughing on! Thanks all!
