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.

The modern world of bed technology is infused with an ever-growing interest in wellbeing and desire to optimise our sleep.

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.
