The science of quality sleep
What your sleep says about you
Your quality of life is closely tied to your sleep. Sleeping well boosts your energy levels, improves your immunity, lowers your stress levels and allows you to think clearly.
The Original Bed in a Box has been developed in close consultation with sleep specialists and engineers to create a product that will improve your sleep quantity and quality.

Our mattress is engineered using the latest sleep science research to ensure it provides the optimal level of support and comfort.
We use innovative technologies such as memory foam, innerspring coils, and hybrid construction to offer the perfect balance between pressure relief and support.
The importance of mattress support
Sleep is now considered the third pillar of good health, alongside exercise and nutrition, indeed, our sleep is crucial to our wellbeing. It is recommended that adults get 7-9 hours of sleep per night.
However, it is not just the length, but also the quality of our sleep that has a major influence on our health. Good quality sleep can improve your health in a number of ways, including:
- regulating appetite
- boosting immunity
- improve cognitive functioning and workplace performance
Overall, regularly getting good quality sleep can add 5 years to your life if you are a male and 2 years if you are a female.
Despite this, nearly half of Australian adults report at least 2 sleep related problems, such as difficulty falling asleep, low sleep duration and frequent awakenings during the sleep episode. Unfortunately, poor sleep can increase the risk of developing chronic health conditions such as heart disease, obesity and type 2 diabetes, as well as mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression. It is estimated that inadequate sleep contributes to 2,000-3,000 deaths annually in Australia.
The comfort level of your mattress is often a key factor in whether you get good or poor quality sleep. Having a comfortable vs uncomfortable mattress significantly impacts the amount of deep sleep you achieve in a sleep episode. Deep sleep is restorative, meaning our body uses the opportunity to repair muscle, tissue and bone, as well as immune system functioning. With this in mind, investment in a quality mattress means investment in quality sleep.
Understanding sleep cycles
Sleep is a complex process that involves several distinct stages. Understanding these stages can help you optimise your sleep quality and improve your overall health and wellbeing. The first stage of sleep is light sleep, followed by deep sleep and finally, REM (rapid eye movement) sleep.
The Original Bed in a Box is designed to promote restful sleep and improve the quality of each sleep cycle. Our mattress is designed to provide pressure relief and distribute weight evenly, promoting deep, restorative sleep.
The role of mattress support
The right level of mattress support is crucial for achieving restful, restorative sleep. A mattress that is too soft can cause the body to sink in, leading to back pain and discomfort, while a mattress that is too firm can cause pressure points and stiffness. The Original Bed in a Box is engineered to provide the perfect balance of support and comfort.
With this level of support, you can wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, ready to tackle the day ahead.
