As a sleep-product reviewer, these are the 7 things I wish I'd known before buying a bed for the first time

Bed with scallop style headboard and yellow throw and pillowcases.

As a sleep-product reviewer, I like to think I know a lot about beds and mattresses. But that hasn’t always been the case – I’ve made mistakes in the past, and I’m here to share with you what those pitfalls are so you don’t make the same mistakes I did.

I now know where to buy a bed, what kind of bed suits me and what size bed suits me. I also know what the best mattress is for me (a Hypnos Wool Origins 6) having tested most brands’ mattresses over the last three years.
