Beds 'important' for sporting and ageing populations

The owners of a new mattress and bedding business in Woy Woy have said people forget how important the right bed is.

Partners Mr Dayle Draper and Mr Craig Lawrence said they had been eyeing the Peninsula for years for a site for their business, Lifestyle Mattress and Bedding.

Mr Draper said it was because the Peninsula had large sporting and ageing populations.

"It's a huge sporting area.

"Anyone who plays sport knows the body gets jarred and bashed around,'' he said.

"If you have the right bed, you'll heal quicker.

"For example, a side-sleeper needs to keep their spine and head straight.

"If your bed is too soft, you'll wake up sorer than when you went to bed.

"For older people, you need to be able to roll over in your bed easily.

"And people carrying too much weight need a bed that doesn't sag when they sit on it or they're doing their lower back an injustice.

"Your sleep surface needs to fit your lifestyle," Mr Draper said.

Mr Draper said the business would offer good old-fashioned service, even picking up people from their homes if they wanted to visit the showroom.
