My passion is helping people understand what sleep is, why sleep is so important to our overall health and wellbeing and the key role a mattress plays in helping people get a better nights sleep. Choosing a mattress isn't easy and for most, neither is getting a good night's sleep. We know 4 in 10 Aussies* and 1 in 4 Kiwis* are currently not getting enough sleep. This can impact mood, mental alertness, decision making and our relationships. We spend a third of our lives sleeping - investing in a mattress is an investment into you health and wellbeing. I'm a 5th generation, Beard family member, working in our family Business A.H. Beard that has been around for over 122 years - so we know a thing or two when it comes to premium sleep and quality manufacturing. We are Family-Owned and operated and proudly Australian Made and Owned and Made in New Zealand with a purpose of 'Improving Lives Through Better Sleep'.* Asleep on the Job: Costs of Inadequate Sleep in Australia, Sleep Health Foundation 2017* Research by Sleep Wake Centre, Massey University, Wellington Campus
