Why leading a sustainable lifestyle is important

Sustainable living can be defined as a way of improving aspects of our current lifestyle for the benefit of the planet and future generations. The key to living sustainably is by always having a conscious mind and considering the effect that your actions make on our world.

Sharing ideas and advice as a community is what Lea Mattress are proud of, for this reason we have collected a list of ways to help you live a healthier and more mindful life by making small but important changes to your bedroom design. 

 

Choose investment pieces

A bedroom designed with sustainability in mind will contain investment pieces that can withstand time and trends. A good way to adhere to this is by designing your master bedroom as a space that will feel both calming and comfortable to you for a lifetime, this can be done by adding investment pieces into the room. 

Your bed frame, mattress, and wardrobe are all essential pieces needed for long term use. It is practical to consider quality when shopping for these items as the average person spends 9,490 days in their bed. By purchasing high quality goods you are guaranteed long lasting usage, which helps to reduce production levels and excessive use of materials in the future.

Choose investment pieces

Furnishing your bedroom is the most exciting aspect of bedroom design. Creating an eco friendly room can be interestingly beautiful as you are able to fall in love with items which have both purpose and value. 

The first place to start is by thinking about any current items that you may have which can be upcycled to add a breath of fresh air into them. Examples of this include, recycling old wood to make authentic shelves, redesigning bedside tables with a new layer of paint or changing the handles, and using old fabrics to create curtains or decorative pillows. 

For new furnishings such as bed sheets, opt for fabrics which are low in manmade fibres and boast organically sourced materials such as cotton or linen!

Be energy efficient

There are various ways in which you can be more energy efficient around the house. The easiest way is by switching out ordinary light bulbs for LED light bulbs, as well as incorporating smart meters around the house. This will not only help to reduce the use of energy that is wasted in your house and lower the emissions released into the atmosphere but will also be beneficial in lowering your monthly energy bill!

Top Tip: Take one hour away from devices each night to help reduce energy consumption and to help your eyes adjust for a better night’s sleep.

 

Reduce your carbon footprint

Buying from low emission companies allows you to shop guilt free. At Lea Mattress we provide a mattress in a box service in which our quality mattresses are protected within our vacuum packed system and delivered using the lowest amount of packaging needed in relation to traditional delivery methods.
