Invest in a larger mattress 

If space allows, consider upgrading to a larger mattress, such as super king or king size. A larger bed provides more personal space, reducing the likelihood of disturbing each other during the night. It’s especially helpful if one partner tends to toss and turn or if you both have different sleeping positions. The extra room can help both of you sleep more comfortably without feeling cramped.

Choose the right mattress firmness

Selecting a mattress with the right level of firmness is crucial. If you and your partner have different preferences, consider a mattress that offers dual firmness or is adjustable. Some mattresses are designed with separate zones, allowing each partner to customise their side of the bed. Finding the right firmness can reduce pressure points and minimise motion transfer, leading to a better night’s sleep for both of you.

Use separate blankets

Sharing a blanket can often lead to a tug-of-war situation, which can disturb sleep. Consider using separate blankets to ensure each partner stays comfortable throughout the night. This simple change can help prevent disruptions caused by temperature differences or blanket hogging, ensuring that both of you get uninterrupted sleep.

Consider a white noise machine

If one partner is a light sleeper or if there are differences in sensitivity to noise, a white noise machine can help. It creates a consistent sound environment that can mask other noises, such as snoring or outside disturbances, helping both partners stay asleep longer and more deeply.

Create a comfortable sleep environment

Ensure your bedroom is conducive to sleep by controlling the room temperature, reducing light, and minimising noise. Using blackout curtains, maintaining a cool temperature, and removing electronic distractions can help create a peaceful environment that promotes restful sleep for both partners.

Use mattress toppers

Mattress toppers can help customise the feel of your mattress, adding comfort without the need to purchase a new mattress. If one partner likes a softer surface while the other prefers firmness, using a topper can provide a middle ground that satisfies both. Toppers also help in reducing motion transfer, adding to overall comfort.
