National Bed Month is a nationwide reminder that better sleep starts with a better bed. It shines a spotlight on the role your mattress and sleep setup play in physical health, mental wellbeing and everyday performance.

At Now to Bed, it’s more than a marketing moment — it’s a commitment. We proudly stock only products approved by the National Bed Federation (NBF). That means every mattress and bed in our showroom meets strict UK standards for quality, safety and compliance.

The NBF’s Approved Member Scheme ensures products are:

  • Fully compliant with UK fire regulations

  • Made by audited, reputable manufacturers

  • Clearly labelled and honestly described

So when we talk about investing in your sleep environment, we’re talking about doing it properly — with products you can trust.

National Bed Month is your cue to check:
Is your bed still supporting you the way it should?

When is National Bed Month?

Every March, the industry turns its focus to sleep. It’s a month dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of quality rest and the difference the right mattress can make.

For us, it’s about helping customers make informed, confident decisions — backed by NBF-certified reassurance.

How to Get Involved (The Now to Bed Way)

Here’s how to make the most of National Bed Month:

1. Review Your Bed

If your mattress is 7–8 years old, dipping, noisy or leaving you stiff in the morning, it may be time to upgrade. Choosing an NBF-approved mattress ensures you’re investing in safety and longevity — not shortcuts.

2. Prioritise Proper Support

Not all beds are created equal. Support, temperature regulation and durability matter. Because we only stock NBF-certified brands, you can shop knowing quality standards have already been met.

3. Refresh Your Sleep Environment

A supportive mattress works best alongside a solid base, breathable bedding and a consistent sleep routine.

4. Ask Questions

National Bed Month is the perfect time to speak with sleep specialists. We’re here to explain fillings, comfort levels and construction — not just firmness labels.

5. Spread the Message

Encourage friends and family to check whether their mattress is NBF approved. Safety and compliance should never be optional.

Why NBF Certification Matters

The National Bed Federation was established to protect consumers from substandard or unsafe products. Unfortunately, not all beds sold in the UK meet legal fire safety requirements.

By choosing an NBF-approved retailer like Now to Bed, you avoid:

  • Illegally manufactured mattresses

  • Mislabelled materials

  • Non-compliant imports

You gain:

  • Peace of mind

  • Verified quality

  • Transparent product standards

A Brief History

National Bed Month was launched by The Sleep Council in the late 20th century to highlight the connection between mattress quality and sleep health. The campaign continues to grow each year, encouraging people to replace worn-out beds and understand how proper support improves wellbeing.

At Now to Bed, we support that mission fully — but with one clear standard:

If it’s not NBF approved, we don’t stock it.

National Bed Month Is About More Than Promotion

It’s about safer products.
It’s about better sleep.
It’s about investing wisely in something you use every night.

And it starts with choosing a retailer committed to quality — every single time.
