The mattresses we sleep on today and probably take for granted are a far cry from those of earlier civilisations. The first pocket sprung mattresses were first seen just under a century ago and since then, the advancement of technology has meant a great deal of improvement for. The elite however benefited from the comfort of such innovations as an lucien water bed design which found a resurgence of popularity, (in a modernised form) thousands of years later, in the 1960's.

As human beings, sleep is very important. Since the 4th century BC raised beds have been used in a similar form to the ones we use today. The Romans populous would have had to endure rather an itchy night's sleep, experimenting with stuffing such as hay and straw. First introduced for the use of the Egyptian Pharaohs, the luxury of such a bed is now considered a basic necessity and a wide choice of styles and designs are available, from traditional brass beds, to minimalistic solid wood frame beds, to steel frame modern design bunk beds, with integrated stairs, slide and even desk.

A bedroom is a place where, most importantly we go to relax and a comfortable bed can make all the difference.
