Couples who don’t sleep well together are getting a ‘sleep divorce’, where one gives up the bed to sleep in another room, according to a study published in the FEB/MAR 2024 issue of Readers’ Digest. In a study, 33% reported they discussed about sleeping in different rooms, while 12% actually did it.
Top 3 reasons for ‘Sleep Divorce’
(1) One partner moves too much in bed, tossing and turning incessantly, rousing the other from sleep.
(2) The couple have different preferences for mattress firmness.
(3) One or both of them are blanket snatchers, unintentionally of course.
Solving the 1st problem – Get a King Koil mattress
Choosing a bed with motion isolation will keep the peace in bed, as movement across the mattress is minimized through individually-wrapped springs. As long as the other person is gently entering the bed, the sleeper should not feel any disturbance, and therefore no sleep interruptions at all.
King Koil’s mattresses provides motion isolation through its signature 5-zone pocket spring system, ensuring movements don’t spill over to other zones. This is wonderful for couples with different work or sleep schdules.
Solving the 2nd problem – Get a Split-King mattress
Sleep positions is a matter of deep-seated habits, and is therefore hard to change. But why change when you can have an uncompromising choice and still sleep on the same bed? Having a split-king mattress accomplishes that.
Side-sleepers generally prefer firmer beds, and back sleepers softer beds. The magic of having split-king mattresses solves the problem elegantly. King Koil’s NEW AlignPro adjustable mattresses offer such a solution.
Solving the 3rd problem – get separate blankets
If your spouse is a blanket-snatcher (unintentionally, of course) , you should get separate blankets, especially if the man cannot stand heat, and the wife is sensitive to the cold.
