Rowing is a seated aerobic pursuit suitable for all users. It removes all the body weight from the ankles, knees and hips, moving the limbs and joints through a full range of motion, from completely extended to completely contracted. Beneficial for the back and strong posture, it recruits the muscles of the torso in equal proportions to the other major muscle groups of the legs and arms.

Pocket-sprung mattresses are ideal when two people sharing a bed are of very different weights or sizes; because the springs move independently, there is less risk of those two people rolling together into the middle of the bed.

The name Hypnos comes from the Greek god of sleep, and the family-owned company has made beds and mattresses since 1900, holding 2 royal warrants. It builds every bed by hand to exacting standards, including filling the mattress, and each bed is built in England using the finest traditional and modern materials to give superior strength and durability.

An uncomfortable bed can lose you the equivalent of an hours sleep a night thats why a really good mattress, helping you to enjoy the best nights sleep possible, can help you start the day with a spring in your step.
