Couples who are sleeping poorly on a mattress which is at least seven years old can benefit from this tips provided by Lissa Coffey and the Betters Sleep Council. These tips should not only improve one’s sleeping conditions, but the couple’s relationship as well:

1. Problem: Your partner kicks in his or her sleep, waking you up.
Solution: Make sure your bed gives each person adequate sleep surface.
If you are sharing a double (full-size) mattress, that only gives each
person as much room as sleeping in a crib! Couples should share a
mattress no smaller than queen-size.

2. Problem: Your partner likes it hot, but you like it cool.
Solution: Temperature is a major issue in many relationships. Ideally,
your bedroom should be a cool 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit. But a few
simple adjustments can make it possible for a person who craves heat

– Invest in a dual-control electric blanket or a twin-size electric
blanket for one side.

3. Problem: Your partner snores, keeping you up at night.
Solution: Snoring can be a serious health concern, so make sure to
consult your physician. If your partner’s snoring is not a serious
health condition, try alternative treatments like investing in anti-
snore pillows, sprays or nasal strips that are designed to help people
breathe more easily. If your partner’s snoring persists, try foam
earplugs before you try a different room.
