The basic need for sleep transcends history, but how we get that sleep is forever evolving.
Once considered cutting-edge, 1970s-style platform beds and waterbeds have largely fallen out of popularity.
On the other hand, memory foam, first developed in 1966 by NASA to improve comfort for astronauts, has continued development and gone from strength to strength.

From sleep hotels, white noise machines and sleep tracking devices to beds and mattresses designed for personalised comfort, we care deeply about getting quality shut-eye.

The average time it takes a working couple aged 25-34 to save a 20 per cent deposit for an entry-level house is four years and nine months, according to Domain’s 2024 First Home Buyer Report.

Over the past five years house prices have generally been on an upward trajectory, despite a string of interest rate hikes from the Reserve Bank of Australia resulting in the highest cash rate in 12 years – 4.35 per cent.
But new analysis by Domain shows there are only six suburbs – in Victoria and Western Australia – that have bucked the trend and become more affordable compared to 2019.
