“Adding accent chairs for lounging or reading enhances your bedroom and creates a space to unwind and relax, not just sleep.”

A FOCUS ON WELLNESS
TV — OR NOT TV? Whether having a TV in your bedroom is a good idea or not — well, to each their own. The reality is that most people do it despite the focus on wellness and reducing screen time before bed. Rather than the traditional mirror, many people forego this option to put their TV on top of the dresser. Opting for a TV that complements the bedroom décor, like Samsung’s The Frame that doubles as framed artwork when off, helps maintain a clean, stylish look. “As somebody who is a big advocate for a good night’s sleep, television in bed is a bad idea,” Magee says. “Anything that offers additional stimulation just keeps you awake longer than you should be. While I wouldn’t recommend it, setting some boundaries and monitoring its impacts on your sleep can help to determine if it is more of a hinderance than a benefit.”
For many, the bedroom doubles as a per- sonal retreat within the home. “Adding accent chairs for lounging or reading enhances your bedroom and creates a space to unwind and relax, not just sleep,” Magee says. Rooms that don’t have space for chairs or loungers can still accommodate adjustable lifestyle mattresses, which are increasingly popular across all age groups. Mattresses that raise and lower the head and feet are especially convenient for those who like to read or use a laptop in bed, Magee says, but the health benefits are even more desirable. “Raising your head while sleeping can have health benefits such as alleviating back pain and reducing snoring,” he says. “When curating a space that is tranquil, your health should be at the core of these decisions.”
