Shortly after, I started to research Matri and found that, to my utter shock and joy, they sold their beds in Hannover-based store called Fennobed. A year later, in 2019, the Fennobed store made my dreams come true when my Matri bed showed up (I wrote about it here).
Little did we know, but that bed was perfectly time to the pandemic because not long after, Corona hit and I needed my cozy bed more than ever. In fact, my Matri bed so inviting that on some night’s, my son would sneak in during the middle of the night because he loved how comfortable is was compared to his bed. He was sleeping on a small but beautiful Danish bed with a latten rost system and a very slim mattress.
He wanted my bed and I had to find a way to make his dream come true.
That’s why I decided to visit Fennobed once again (in Hannover, Germany) to select a bed for him this time – something smaller than mine but perfectly sized for an 11-year-old boy. He is working hard in school now and so he requires the best night’s sleep for his studies. And since he always loved my bed, I told him I’d get him something just like it and wow, was he excited!
Happy to say, he got his dream bed delivered before Christmas, making it a wonderful holiday present. I wanted to wait a bit before posting about it to ensure I could give the most accurate review, especially since I needed to see if the bed really made a difference in his sleep quality and mood overall.
All I can say is this is a FIVE STAR bed – He loves it and sleeps so sound each night, he looks forward to sleeping in his bed after all these years, and wakes up in a good mood and no more complaints of feeling uncomfortable or jealous that we have the “nice” bed as he used to say,
Not only is the bed beautifully crafted and stylish, but it’s also built with health, well-being, and sustainability in mind. I picked out the beautiful mustard-color linen headboard, which he also loves, and all of the bedding is from Matri too – making it masculine and a bit “grown up” compared to his dinosaur bedding previously.
Why Sleep is So Important for Our Children (and Us Too!)
We all know the feeling of waking up groggy and irritable, but poor sleep affects more than just our mood. Especially for children, quality sleep is crucial for healthy development. Studies show that deep, restful sleep helps with memory consolidation, emotional regulation, physical growth, and overall cognitive performance. A good night’s sleep also strengthens the immune system, reduces stress, and even enhances creativity.
For my son, having a supportive and comfortable mattress has meant more restful nights and more energized days. He wakes up refreshed, full of energy, and ready to conquer the day. It’s remarkable to see the difference that a high-quality bed can make.
It’s not just about getting enough hours of sleep; it’s about the quality of that sleep. A supportive mattress that properly aligns the spine and relieves pressure points is essential. If your body is out of alignment, you’ll toss and turn, reducing the amount of deep sleep you get. Deep sleep is when the body repairs itself, muscles grow, and tissues regenerate. It’s also crucial for memory processing and emotional stability.
Matri’s mattresses are designed with this in mind. They provide the perfect balance of comfort and support, ensuring that the spine is aligned and that there is no undue pressure on the shoulders and hips. This ergonomic support helps prevent back pain and promotes deep, restorative sleep. I have struggled with back pain for most of my life, which is why I am willing to invest in a bed that allows me to live with less pain – and in this case – pain-free. I barely have back pain since I started sleeping on my Matri bed which is why I’m so happy our son has one too!
