The experts say we spend around a third of our lives in our beds, or at least we should. So it makes sense to create bedroom spaces that are not only aesthetically appealing, but also good for our health.

COMFORT IS KING

Quality of sleep plays a big role in your general wellness, says Rudo Kemp, founder and CEO of Sloom, so buying the right mattress really is an investment in your wellbeing. The Sloom mattress is the first in South Africa to incorporate four different comfort layers that can be rearranged to provide the required firmness. These layers include a soft layer, a medium layer, a firm layer and an extra-firm layer. The mattress offers high-density memory foam and cool latex foam for optimum comfort.

Hästens also offers a personalised sleep experience with its handmade beds. “We do not believe in a one-sizefits-all approach, so our beds are not mass-produced,” says the team from Hästens. The beds are made in Sweden using only the highest quality natural materials for the best sleep. This includes horsetail hair, flax, cotton and wool that combine to provide natural climate control. In this way, the beds “breathe and take on the bedroom’s ambient temperature”, explains Hästens.
