Bed heads: choosing a mattress for comfortable winter hibernation
The circadian rhythm is the healthy, natural clock buried in the mind that keeps us healthy.
When you’re sharing rollicking centimetres from head-to-toe, and side-to-side, the territory of a bed becomes a high stakes matter. Combine those dimensions with the dynamic sleeping habits of adults — the star-fish, the sprawler, the crawler, the spooner, the thrasher and the edge clinger — there’s a lot to bed down here.
I have a 6’5 partner and a super-king bed. Ex-army, he sleeps with a balled pillow on the seam of the bed, with one foot on the floor. I can’t find him with a fully extended leg unless I buttock-hop to the centre. As with anyone stabling a Super-King, I’ve learned to ferret at the very bottom of sheet shelving in-store too, and have accepted I will be largely disappointed.
