According to the Good Sleep Health Foundation,
most adults need between seven and nine hours
sleep each day for optimum health and wellbeing.
Many of us unfortunately don’t achieve this
level of sleep, which can lead to a range of health
problems and can be just plain frustrating.
At Sleepy’s our experienced team of mattress
experts work each day with people to help
improve the quality and length of their sleep.
We’ve compiled our top tips for getting a good
night’s sleep.
1. Maintain a regular evening routine so you
fall asleep sooner. Getting in routine will help
sync your biological clock and aid a positive
sleep pattern.
2. Sleep in a cool, quiet, dark room that is free
from distractions.
3. Engage in regular exercise. Just not too close
to bedtime!
4. Avoid stimulants, such as caffeine and sugary
foods in the evening as they interfere with
deep sleep.
5. Ensure you have a pillow that is suitable for
your body type and sleep style.
6. Sleep on a comfortable supportive mattress
that matches your sleeping style.
7. Avoid smoking. Smokers take longer to fall
asleep, awaken more often and experience
fragmented sleep.
Our final tip is to make sure that you unwind
early in the evening. Try to deal with your
worries before going to bed and if it helps,
spoil yourself with a warm bath or a little
aromatherapy. Wishing you sweet dreams.

The beautiful weather and laid back lifestyle of
the Gold Coast has made the trend of Coastal
Living Chic very popular.
The look is easy to achieve by incorporating
different colours and textures and adopting an
innovative approach to how you use your space.
Use contrasting accessories to create a look
that is your own. On that rustic dining table and
chairs, place a colourful runner down the middle
of the table and vibrant cushions on the chairs
– don’t be afraid to mix and match the colours.
Dress the table with tableware in either a bright
patterned design or go with white and bring in
the colour with napkins.
Purchase a feature piece such as a buffet or
bookcase on which you can display your photos in
frames that again do not need to match and bring
some serenity into the space by the placing of
scented candles.
Enhance the natural look of the room with
furniture, particularly rustic wooden pieces.
Think handcrafted pieces in the form of coffee
tables, stools and bar settings.
Don’t be afraid to bring some outdoor living
inside – a handcrafted day bed can look fabulous
inside. Cover it in comfy cushions and you have
a unique spot to relax.
Our friendly team are experts in achieving this
look and others. New stock arrives weekly so be
sure to pop in, browse and discover how to create
a home you love.

When it comes to improving the look of your
home, flooring can make a big difference.
There are many flooring products and textures
available to homeowners these days, so here
are our top tips for helping you to navigate your
flooring facelift.
1. Set a budget: Being clear on your budget from
the start is important. Flooring products vary
greatly in terms of pricing, so if you are clear
on your budget, you can explore products that
will be the right fit for your home.
2. Decide on the look you want before you start:
Look to magazines, blogs or Pinterest for
inspiration and identify your favourite looks,
then visualise how that may look within your
home. To help with that process, we offer our
customers a 3D Design Studio that will allow
you to explore which flooring options will best
suit your space. Simply upload pictures of
your home or choose from our existing room
templates and experience with our range of
DIY flooring options.
3. Consult an expert: Selecting flooring can be
complex. Knowing your boucherouite from
your beading and your acanthus from your
arabesque is what separates a carpet wannabe
from a carpet pro. From timbers
