Health and Wellbeing

Young children allowed video games and phones in their bedrooms at night are over 40% more likely to regularly not be asleep before midnight, than children whose bedrooms are gadget-free. This is just one of the findings of new research we have commissioned, here at Bed Kingdom, to help reduce bedtime battles.

Sleep is incredibly important for the development and health of young children. A lack of sleep has been associated with a number of issues for children, including cardiometabolic risk factors, ADHD, low cognitive performance, poor emotional regulation, academic achievement, and quality of life.

We spend about a third of our lives in bed, sleeping. Sleep provides us with much-needed rest and fuels our mental and physical performance the next day, making it an essential part of our day. It's important to have a clean and comfortable mattress to ensure we get a good night's rest. It's also vital that what we sleep on is clean and safe to avoid getting ill. This means that bedding and blankets should be changed and washed often.

Many different types of mattresses on the market promise to give you a good night’s sleep. From memory foam mattresses that can help to relieve pressure points to innerspring mattresses which provide more generalised support, there’s something for everyone — no matter your requirements.

Sleep is important—especially for children. But, while sleep is essential to your child’s physical and mental wellbeing, getting your kid to bed—and keeping them there—is often easier said than done.
