When you lay down on your new memory foam mattress or memory foam mattress topper for the first time, you might be in for a surprise. Often, new memory foam products are surprisingly firm - firmer than you might ideally like. But what happens over time? Will they eventually get softer and more pliable? Let’s take a closer look.

Mattress toppers are an easy, cost-effective way to boost the comfort of your existing mattress. Traditionally, they’re filled with materials like wool, down, feathers or other man-made fibres but, in recent years, another material has taken the market by storm: memory foam.

The question is, just how effective are memory foam mattress toppers - and are they beneficial for your back? Whether you suffer from back pain already or would like to take steps to prevent it, this article should help you decide whether memory foam is right for you. 

When we get older, some or maybe all of us will experience aches and pains.

Over 45 year olds have a 5–7% incidence of chronic low back pain - that’s 3% higher than under 45s. The risk of arthritis can also increase with age. This can have an impact on our ability to sleep. However, it’s not all doom and gloom.

Taking a trip on the open road, wanting to fall asleep beneath the stars - it always looks and sounds romantic. However, when the practicalities set in - and the sleepless nights - the adventurous holiday can become a little wearing.

However, if you’re looking to embrace your adventurous spirit, while getting enough shut-eye to feel rested, we’ve got the must have holiday sleep-saviour. 

How to Get the Best Night’s Sleep in a Caravan

When you think of a caravan holiday, the first thing that springs to mind is fun days spent by the seaside. One thing that you probably don’t associate with caravaning is a peaceful night’s sleep.

St Ives, Skeg Ness, Aberyswyth - whichever location you’ve got your sights set for your time off, we’ve got top tips for getting a good night’s sleep.

How to Sleep Comfortably While Camping

Sleeping comfortably while camping? Is that even possible? You may be a seasoned camper who loves nothing more than a night under the stars and reconnecting with nature. But, there is a compromise. When camping, it can be difficult to get a good night’s sleep. If you’re often left dreaming of a plush hotel bed while camping, this article is for you! 

Aside from battling the unpredictable Great British weather, the common culprit of a restless night’s sleep while camping is insufficient bed-gear.
