Studies have revealed that pregnant women who have below five hours of sleep each night increase their chances of having preeclampsia – a serious pregnancy complication related to high blood pressures.

Maintaining a good night’s sleep while pregnant helps maintain the blood pressure at normal levels.

Pregnant women who are getting below six hours of sleep every night during the early stages of pregnancy have systolic blood pressure readings during the last trimester phase. The research found that this was almost 4mm/Hg higher than those women who get around nine hours of sleep each night.

However on the other hand, too much sleep can cause problems as women sleeping over 10 hours each night in their first trimester phase have a twofold increase in the chance of contracting preeclampsia.

1,272 healthy pregnant women took part in the survey.

The first interview was conducted during the first 14 weeks of gestation with their blood pressure periodically checked. Further information on their health and lifestyle as well as sleeping habits was also reported.

They found that the duration of sleep each night did not have an impact on the blood pressure in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy; however it was in the third trimester the effect became more prominent.

It is highly important that pregnant women stay as comfortable as possible when they sleep each night. To do this purchasing high quality bedding products is a sure fire way to ensure a comfortable environment while you sleep. You can find a wide range of duvets and pillows as well as supportive memory foam mattresses and memory foam pillows via the duvetandpillowwarehouse.co.uk website.

We’ve been able to incorporate iPods and pillows for some time now, helping us doze off to dreamland with MP3 lullabies – and providing the occasional nightmare too with Alphabeat! But now there’s a new memory foam version for added comfort that keeps the speakers sewn in. How cool is that?

This musical memory foam pillow will be out in time for Christmas and lets you incorporate any MP3 player, whilst the internal speakers maintain the dome-shape so your comfort is unaffected.

Prices are thought to be around £30.

Different positions you sleep in will affect the amount of pressure that is put onto your joints, you need to take into consideration the position you mostly sleep in and if you will benefit from a memory foam mattress or a memory foam topper. 

If you sleep on your side a lot, you place a heavy amount of pressure in your shoulder and hips, and if you sleep on your stomach you are adding pressure to your neck. 

A visco-elastic pressure sensitive memory foam mattress will work the best for you and provide you with the best chance of reducing the overall pressure placed on the joints, this is done by contouring them and pushing against them as you lay on the mattress. 

Latex is sometimes added to memory foam that will offer more spring against parts of your body such as the small of your back or yours sides, without losing the ability to contour and displace pressure points.

The duvet and pillow warehouse can help your achy joints by providing you all the information you need about why and how a memory foam mattress or a memory foam topper can help you,  and then advising you which would be most suitable.

As the weekend approaches, many of us will be looking forward to a nice lie in or suffering from a hang over in bed after a messy one the night before.

Well before the weekend starts, we have found some fab and funky bedding pillows which you would want scattered all over your bed!

Happy Sleeping!

Very Rock and Roll

These funky pillows are installed with an MP3 letting the rock and roll come out while you sleep!

Memory foam mattresses have crept onto the scene over the past few years, claiming they are the saviour of restless sleeps, but is it really true?

Well at Duvet and Pillow Warehouse we have come up with some pros and cons about both mattresses so you can make the decision all by yourself!

Spring Mattress

The thought of springs doesn’t sound comfy to begin, but put it with a bit of material and you would probably assume you have a pretty comfy, bouncy bed.

A pressure point test from a leading spring mattress indicating pressure points. The results showed that spring mattresses don’t offer the correct pressure point relief needed for a good night’s sleep.

Traditional spring mattresses rely on a varied number of springs which push back against your body, all with the same force, making proper support impossible because our bodies do not push evenly. The lack of support on these pressure points lead to poor circulation, tossing and turning, aches and joint pain.

In fact, spring mattresses lose 16 per cent of their support in the first year alone.

Memory Foam Mattress

When you buy a good quality memory foam mattress you will find that your body weight will distribute evenly. This reduces pressure points substantially, up to 80 per cent, which only memory foam can provide.

Tossing and turning is greatly reduced with a memory foam mattress.

Spring Mattresses

Spring mattresses act as a shock absorber and reduce the wear and tear of a mattress. Coil gauges determine the firmness and support. The less coils there are the thicker the springs.

Memory Foam Mattresses

Vary, but generally go from firm to supple. As memory foam mattresses distribute the weight evenly, a good memory foam mattress should give you a firm feeling without compromising your back, hips and joints.

Many memory foam mattresses become more supple with body heat, providing a cradling support your body requires.

Everyone loves the idea of a large spacious room complete with a large bed, luxury bedroom furniture, large windows which open up onto a balcony overlooking stunning views….but that really is a life most of us can only dream of.

Many of us are stuck in small poxy bedrooms were we have to shuffle around the bed to get to the door, or we have to share a bedroom with our beloved sibling who is really messy and talks in their sleep.

Whatever the situation the scenarios can be a nightmare but we would like you to spare a thought for some of these poor souls.

Now when you think of a bedroom you think ‘Oh well it will have a bed, a wardrobe, possibly a desk at least’…wrong! Take a look at some of these teeny weeny bedrooms and be thankful for what you have got.

Smallest Bedroom One

Oh my days this poor person has a decent sized bedroom and instead they have put in a double bed instead of a single. May be they move around a lot in bed or may be it is a couple and a single is obviously too small but this is insane. You would have to be a twig to walk to the other side of the bed as that gap looks pretty thin!

Smallest Bed Two

Oh my days this poor man doesn’t even have a room. Just a tube with a mattress in and a door that he has to climb out of. What a shame. Lets just hope that the bedding products are a memory foam mattress and a feathered pillow to make it that little more homely.

Oh my days what an earth can you do with this room? You can even fit a bed in it let alone a wardrobe or desk. We feel sad for the person who draws the short straw with this room.
