Understanding Sleep Needs

As we journey through life, our sleeping patterns and needs evolve. This guide will walk you through the sleep requirements for various ages, highlighting the benefits and offering expert solutions to enhance your slumber. For resourceful insights on sleep recommendations by age, you may want to consult NHS sleep guidelines.

Infants and Toddlers

Babies and young children usually require 12 to 16 hours of sleep per day. High-quality sleep is crucial for their growth and development. To support their sleep, creating a comforting and secure environment is essential. Our Lara Mini Ambassador Bed offers a cosy retreat for your little one’s peaceful nights.

School-Age Children

For children aged 6 to 12, the recommended sleep duration is about 9 to 12 hours. This stage is critical for cognitive and physical development, so investing in a supportive and comfortable bed can make all the difference. Browse our online selection to help your child maintain healthy sleep habits.

Teenagers

Teenagers need approximately 8 to 10 hours of quality sleep, although many fall short due to academic pressures and social engagements. Encouraging a well-structured bedtime routine and selecting the right mattress, like our Verona Elegance Bed Frame – Luxury Upholstered Bed for Modern Bedrooms, can significantly enhance sleep quality.

Adults

For adults, 7 to 9 hours is the sweet spot for rejuvenating sleep. Choosing the right bed is key to combating daily stress and promoting relaxation. The Eternity Wingback Bed Frame merges style and comfort, perfect for any modern bedroom upgrade.

Older Adults

As we age, sleep patterns might shift, with many older adults experiencing lighter sleep. Creating a serene ambience and selecting an easy-access bed like the Elora Panel-Lined Upholstered TV Bed Frame can ensure that you get the rest you deserve.
