Bed buds

Carol O’Callaghan says a comfortable bed and linens are crucial if you want to avoid a restless night’s sleep

DOES size really matter? Yes, it does when it comes to your bed and linens, especially if you have a sleeping partner on the large size or if they happen to be a duvet-hogger.

For decades bed partners were happy with the traditional four foot six bed, but larger houses and our prosperity fuelled larger selves have us indulging in five and six foot versions which are great if you are sleeping with someone restless and don’t want to be disturbed.
