How to keep allergies away from your bedroom?

medium_img1.jpgA study published on line in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology gives has identified the main causes for the presence of allergens (the substance that gives you allergy reactions) in your bedroom. These are:

  • an older mattress
  • a limited ventilation of the bedroom
  • a lower floor level bedroom 
As far as the first point is concerned, I am sure we can help :) Providing new mattresses is our job and we would be happy to assist you in this acquisition. You can visit our whole catalog online by going to bedeezee.co.uk

 If you suffer from allergy, we recommend you to stay away from mattresses with natural fillings and  focus on mattresses with synthetic fillings. The combination of pocketed springs and visco fillings works really in avoiding allergies, so why not look.

For the ventilation of your bedroom, make sure that you open your windows between the moment you wake up and the moment you leave your home. In the evening, if the weather allows, open the windows for an hour before you go to sleep.

Do not hesitate to contact us should you have any question (on 08000 20 12 12 or contact@bedeezee.com).

Stay fit... and in bed!

Hello everyone!

It is becoming increasingly harder to find excuses to avoid staying fit. With Silentnight Beds' new way of exercizing, Bedercise, it is virtually impossible!

Celebrating its 60 years of existence, the brand Silentnight Beds launched a "National Love your Bed Day," with the purpose of reminding "us all how much we love our beds and what a big part of our lives they are." And to demonstrate our love of our beds, what's better than just staying in them, even to do some physical exercise? Hence the birth of Bedercise.

In order to create this inventive way of doing some sport, Silentnight commissioned sports specialist Sue Jepson from Manchester Metropolitan University. Bedercise contains 6 exercises and 1 stretch in order to tone up your body, while staying in bed. You can do Bedercise alone, or with your partner.

Here is an example, to work on your abs: the Ab-pillow pass.

medium_bedercise_ab_pillow_pass.jpgHOW TO DO IT: Lie on your back with bent knees and feet on the bed, either side of your partner’s! Tense abdominals. One partner holds the pillow (either across the chest or above the head). As you slowly curl up towards each other, pass the pillow between you. Return to the start position. Repeat several times.

Matelsom F.A.Q.

We have had a lot of questions this week about the brand "Matelsom". I have compiled a little F.A.Q. on this topic in order to inform you better:

What is Matelsom?

Matelsom is the leading online bed retailer in France. It was created in 1995 by Emery Jacquillat. The purpose of the company was to:

  • Help the customer gain time. Today's demanding lifestyles give less and less spare time; this precious leisure time is better spent with the family or on a romantic week-end break, than going through the hassles of visiting bed stores. With online retailing, it is now possible to by a bed in 15 minutes.
  • Give the best sleep advice by trained advisors, who help the customers choose the best beds for them. The sleep advisors understand that choosing a bed is a case by case basis. Their advice is guaranteed by a 30-night trial period: as a result the advisors are dedicated to the customers' satisfaction and listen to their needs.
  • Offer convenience in delivery services and times. Evening delivery is possible in certain areas and can be made Monday through Saturday.
  • Offer competitive prices. Sleeping on a good bed shouldn't be a luxury. This should be available to everyone because sleep is a 1st necessity like food.

Bedeezee, Matelsom UK sister's company, was created in 2005 for the same purpose.

What about the quality of Matelsom products?

  • The matelsom brand was created to offer quality products at a reasonable price. This brand has contributed to making the best sleeping technology (such as pocketed springs or visco memory foam) available to everyone.
  •  The Matelsom brand employs local manufacturers. I.e. Matelsom products retailed in France are made in France. Matelsom products retailed in the UK are made in the UK. This ensures that they answer the local population's sleeping needs.
  •  All Matelsom mattresses and divan bases come with a 5 year warranty and are of course eligible for the 30-night trial period.

Can a Matelsom platform base be used with a mattress of a different brand?

Yes.

  • Matelsom bases are carefully manufactured according to demanding criteria. They will provide the necessary support to the mattress you are purchasing.
  • Matelsom bases are stocked in many sizes and are often available for next-day delivery. Hence convenience is added to your comfort.
  • You will save money by acquiring one of our divan set that include a Matelsom base.

Do not hesitate to contact our team at 08000 12 20 20, or by email at: contact@bedeezee.com

Take the King!

medium_king.jpgTreat yourself with the mattress size you deserve: King Size!

When you were a kid, you slept on a single bed. The width of single beds is 90 cm (3 feet).

Now, a lot of adults sleep with their partner on a double bed, i.e. on a 135 cm (4 foot 6) wide bed, which leaves only 66 cm (2 foot 2) per person! What a difference from your childhood days... no wonder why so many people reminisce about it as the happiest time of their lives :)

Today, with the Take the King! sale, we are offering you the opportunity to upgrade to a King or Superking size bed:

  • Enjoy a 15% discount on selected king and superking beds.
  • Get the space you need to sleep.
  • Do not get disturbed by your partner's movement during the night.

How to stay fresh ?

medium_Sun_heat.jpgDon't be fooled by the recent cool down in the temperature, the heat wave is supposed to strike back in August. Temperatures are expected to be higher than in July.

Many people experience difficulties to fall or stay asleep in the higher temperatures. Here are a few tips to make sure that  you get a good night's rest during the hot season:

  • During the day, try your best to keep the room cool: shut the blinds, and keep the windows closed.
  • Sleep as low as possible: the ground floor will be cooler than the 1st floor, etc, because heat rises. The lower you can sleep, the cooler.
  • Keep a bottle of water handy to prevent from the risks of dehydratation.
  • If you have friends who have got air conditioned houses, ask them if you can stay over. If they're your friends, they will say yes :)
  • Try to wear very light pyjamas, or no pyjama at all.
  • Finally, you can be interested in beds with a layer of COOLMAX: this will absorb your body heat and keep you fresh. The Sleepeezee Coleridge Mattress is a product with this feature to improve your nights during the summer. Check it out here.

Stay cool !
