Sleep Myths Trivia Quiz: Fact or Fiction?
Test common UK bed and mattress myths. Gentle corrections with links to useful guides — no scare tactics.
Why myths spread
Mattress marketing and old household tips travel faster than product care labels. When in doubt, check the maker’s instructions and UK size charts on Bed Kingdom product pages.

Frequently asked questions
Should I flip my mattress?
Only if the care label says so. Many modern mattresses are one-sided and should be rotated head-to-foot instead.
Are harder mattresses better for backs?
Not for everyone. Comfort is individual; this site does not give medical advice.
