Expert: Couples should get a big bed

29/03/2010

Couples should go for the biggest beds they can to get a good night's sleep, according to leading experts.

The Sleep Council said this could help both people achieve an undisturbed period of bed rest.

Jessica Alexander from the Council said beds are often central to night-time disturbances between couples.

She told The Telegraph: "You should be able to lie side-by-side with your arms behind your head and your elbows out, without touching.

"Even conventionally-sized partners can have wildly different requirements."

Britain even has a national bed month, in March, with the council saying this year British people should pay attention to developing a good sleep pattern to get the best out of their health.

Ms Alexander also said a good night's kip is "the answer to feeling and looking your best", whereas not getting enough shut-eye can lead to looking less healthy despite a generally good lifestyle.
