Reena Patel Uncovers the Modern Science and Luxury in Sleep Engineering

As a time poor and tech-immersed society, we are finding it tougher than ever to switch off when it’s time to turn the lights out.

Cue the superior ‘sleep engineering’ company called RESTED, specialists in curating high-end bed furniture that help give you an epic comfort experience when you tuck in at night.

I entered into the company’s cleverly coined ‘sleep loft’ – a hidden haven of a bedroom showroom on the first floor of an unassuming industrial building in north-west London – to uncover what makes for a truly best in class soporific sleep.

The exclusive range of pinnacle-performance engineered beds, mattresses and bedroom goods are all designed with optimum luxury in mind as well as improved sleep quality.

Interestingly, RESTED tells us to turn away from classic pocket springs, Egyptian cotton (it creases a lot) and down feather pillows (they often don’t support your neck enough) and try a newly improved sleep-style using fabrics and materials of the highest order: Talalay Latex mattresses, NASA inspired duvets and total sleep system ergonomically adjustable beds with sound systems where you can control the angles and comfort, as well as finding your ‘Zero Gravity’ horizontal weightlessness position.

Bedtime comfort is very personal. The base of the bed, coil of the spring, pillow type to the microscopic fibres in your duvet and aromas in the air around all influence your sleep experience. As well as comfort, any bed needs to accommodate the pressure points of hips and shoulders if you are a side sleeper and allow for the natural curvature of the spine if you sleep on your back.
