Better Sleep For A New Year Resolution: The Best Bed Types For 2026

Better Sleep For A New Year’s Resolution: The Best Bed Types For 2026

As the New Year begins, many of us set goals and aspirations to better ourselves - and what better way to start than by improving our sleep quality each night? Studies heavily suggest that getting around 7-8 hours of sleep each night can transform your cognitive function, physical development and mental health each day, allowing you to become productive and fulfill your other goals for 2026!

At Aspire, we believe that good sleep all starts from having a good quality bed with effective storage. In this guide, we’ll give you some tips on how to choose the right bed as we uncover their key benefits for different people’s needs. We’ll point you into the right direction when it comes to choosing your bed and enhancing your sleep quality. 

The Importance Of A Decluttered Space & Good Sleep

Imagine struggling to concentrate when working from home due to clutter, or coming home after a long day in the office to unorganisation.  Many of us with smaller spaces don’t have to imagine the stress and anxiety it can make us feel, as our belongings encroach on our spaces and get out of hand in our homes. It can impact sleep quality, making you feel over-stimulated and result in your daily routines feeling longer as you rush around searching for the thing you need. 

So, it’s true what they say about “a tidy bedroom equals a tidy mind.” By implementing some effective storage solutions, you can easily make yourself feel more relaxed during the evening and stress-free during the day. You won’t have to deal with your mountain of laundry anymore, or rushing around in the morning looking for your clothes - you’ll be surprised at how these simple things can totally transform your sleep quality and habits in 2026. 

When it comes to sleep science, it’s true that adults need 7-8 hours of sleep each night, and teenagers need 8-9 for their growth and physical development. Inadequate sleep can leave you feeling more stressed, less able to concentrate on tasks and leave you with more negative moods. Plenty of sleep can help massively with this, and if you’re into fitness or planning on going to the gym as a new goal for 2026, getting plenty of sleep can help repair tissue for building muscle and leaving you feeling recharged for the next day. 

Best Bed Types in 2026: Divan, Ottoman or Adjustable?

There are so many bed options on the market nowadays, so it can be a little overwhelming when it comes to finding the right one to meet your needs. But don’t worry, we’ll break down which ones would be good for you, ready for new beginnings in 2026! 

We also offer a fabric sample service, where you’ll be able to get a feel for the textures and see the colour tones under different lighting. You’ll be able to visualise what your bed looks like in your space in no time, but first, let’s take a look at the different styles we have to offer. 

Ottoman Beds: Transform Your Storage Space

You might have recognised yourself as the person that we mentioned earlier - someone who’s rushing around getting ready for work and looking for their keys in the morning, or someone who can’t concentrate when studying because they’ve got too much chaos going on in their room. 

If you see yourself in this, there’s no need to worry. Your lifestyle and sleep quality can be totally transformed if you purchase an Ottoman Bed. Designed with a gas-lift system that reveals plenty of underneath storage, the Ottoman bed is a convenient purchase that helps you organise your things and do some spring cleaning in the New Year. Inside, you can store anything, including large items such as suitcases, bedding, pillows and throws, as well as electronics, toiletries and so much more. 

Ideal for couples who have a lot of things packed into a small space, Ottoman beds can house both of your belongings and keep them safe. They’re designed with sturdy wooden slats and smooth hydraulic mechanisms - some might say that they’re on the pricier side, but a lot of thought goes into crafting them to ensure they last for many years to come. 

Divan Beds: Compact & Versatile Storage

During the New Year, why don’t you treat yourself to a new bed that’s versatile and has plenty of compact storage space? Well, our Divan beds can easily do the job!

Designed with built-in drawers, Divan beds are excellent choices to store your small day to day items. If you don’t require as much storage space that an Ottoman bed provides, then a Divan bed might be a great option for you. Inside, you can store your small items such as hair dryers, toiletries, socks, underwear - you name it! 

Divan beds are particularly good for bedrooms with alternative room layouts, like if your bed is against a wall, for example. We do also offer side opening ottoman beds, but some people with limited mobility or room may find it easier to simply pull out the drawers of their divan bed to access their storage. 

Designed with a solid base rather than a slatted one, divan beds reduce the amount of airflow that’s circulating around the bed. We’ve still got a few more cold months ahead of us, and if you consider yourself a cold sleeper anyway, the Divan bed can help insulate heat for you. If a supportive and solid bed base is also your cup of tea, then you have evermore reason to invest in a Divan Bed in 2026! 

Another bonus for Divan Beds is that they’re very affordable! So, if you have goals to save a bit more money here and there, the Divan Bed is a budget-friendly option to improve your sleep quality and storage organisation. 

Adjustable Beds: The Perfect Sleeping Positions

If you’re someone who has had issues with back pain in 2025 and you’re wishing for better health in 2026, an adjustable bed might be a fantastic choice for you! We can’t promise miracles, but adjustable beds can help with improved spinal alignment and posture, alleviating aches and pains. 

Designed with a motorised platform, you can select the sleeping position that’s perfect for you. Go from sitting upright when reading your book, to your favourite sleeping position, just with a click of a button. 

Using as little electricity as a small TV, an adjustable bed is an efficient way to have better sleep and find the perfect sleeping position for you. They’re not noisy either, so you don’t have to worry about adjustable beds interfering with your sleep. You’ll only hear a quiet hum when you change your sleeping position.

Size Options For Different Bed Types

When it comes to choosing your divan, ottoman or adjustable bed, we understand that finding the right size is an important aspect. For all of our beds, we have a wide range of sizes, starting from singles, all the way up to super king. Let’s take a look at some examples and find out who they’re most likely to benefit from!

Starting with single beds that measure 3ft wide (91cm), these beds are great for solo adults with limited space. If you have a small apartment with limited square footage, you could have a divan,  ottoman or adjustable bed in this size. Equally, they’re great for children’s bedrooms or guest bedrooms - they’re real space-savers and sleep enhancers, ready for your 2026 bedroom revamp! 

Another size example is our 4ft small double beds (121cm wide). They’re fantastic for couples who have limited space, and they’re a perfect option for couples who would like to feel close and snuggle up together. Also available in the adjustable, divan and ottoman bed, the small double beds create a cosy feel in the living space. 

For those who would like to treat themselves in the New Year, we have our 6ft Super King beds (182cm wide) waiting for you. If you’ve just moved house and have a spacious master bedroom, or you already have a large bedroom and would like a bed replacement, our large king sized beds are great for both you and your partner. With the room that’s equivalent to a single bed on each side, you and your partner can starfish and stretch out as you please!
