Sophie Conran’s experience of disrupted sleep during menopause has inspired her debut bedroom collection, which has been introduced by Dreams.
The 11-piece range includes bedframes, bed side tables, blanket boxes and mattresses, made with layers of British wool, bamboo and alpaca to provide natural breathability, and Platinum 3D polyester designed to enhance airflow and prevent heat build-up.
As many as 400,000 women in the UK are affected by menopause each year, and up to 80% of them will experience vasomotor symptoms, including hot flushes and night sweats.
‘Like many women going through the menopause, I experienced nights where I would wake up feeling far too hot, unable to get comfortable again and literally drenched from head to toe. There is a lot of wearing cotton loose-fitting pyjamas and cotton sheets, but nothing about the mattress we sleep on: I wanted to address that,’ says Conran.
‘Those broken nights made me realise how crucial temperature is to sleep quality. This collection of natural mattresses came from a desire to create something that genuinely helps: a mattress that works with your body, not against it, to keep you at a comfortable temperature all night.’
‘This partnership represents an exciting evolution of our premium positioning strategy and our commitment to serving the well-being of our diverse customer base. By combining Sophie’s elegant design with our manufacturing expertise, we’ve created a collection that is both aesthetic and functional, championing innovation and inclusivity,’ says Dan Parsons, Dreams cco.
