Metal Beds Keep You Cool

The unseasonally warm spring weather has demonstrated one of the key advantages of metal beds. Over the weekend temperatures reached 21 degrees in some parts of the UK. This reminded people of the fact that it was time to swap the winter quilt for the summer one.

There is nothing worse than being to hot in bed. As we progress through the spring temperatures will rise further. Making sleep uncomfortable. When night time temperatures rise towards 20 degrees you can see the benefit of a metal bed. Particularly if you, like me, utilise a memory foam mattress. Metal beds tend to have better ventilation than leather beds or standard divans. The ventilation will help to keep you cool.

Kingsize metal beds on the rise

Tarvos Kingsize Metal Bed

The UK population is growing in stature. This is one of the reasons why the kingsize metal bed is on the rise. Recent research shows that the UK male population has the highest average body mass index in Europe. Of major overseas countries only the Americans and Australians have a  higher BMI.

Kingsize beds are 5ft wide. This gives extra room for the stouter body size. Metal kingsize beds can also take the the additional strain imposed by a heavier body. Several major retailers have reported that sales of kingsize double beds now exceed those for standard size double beds.

The Tarvos kingsize metal bed, shown above, is available in the UK for a retail price of around £220.

Metal Beds for all Types of Bedrooms
