Thieft at Woolworth.

Kristina from Welcome Bay

Last night just before 6pm I was walking up the ramp at Woolworth Cameron road when this guy stormed past me with a basket full of food. The trolly lady said he didn't pay. I talked to the so called secuity guards and they said they can't do anything. So what about calling the police? No,… View moreLast night just before 6pm I was walking up the ramp at Woolworth Cameron road when this guy stormed past me with a basket full of food. The trolly lady said he didn't pay. I talked to the so called secuity guards and they said they can't do anything. So what about calling the police? No, they won't come. So with all these cameras, secuity guards and face recognitions which would cost a fortune for the supermarkets, it still doesn't stop some criminals from stealing.... It just amazed me how easy it is for somebody to do this. If I was a big strong man I would have tackeld him, but I'm not, and wouldn't stand a chance. I do hope they report it to the police and have CTV cameras so they can catch him.

Breathe new life into your spare bedroom

If your #spareroom is more dumping ground than inviting retreat, fear not. Here are some simple styling tricks to freshen up the space and welcome guests in style.

Start with a thorough declutter 📦
The first step is to make the space feel like an actual bedroom. Remove items that don’t belong in your spare room.

Re-house objects you use on a regular or semi-regular basis and find them a new home where they’re used.

Consider putting luggage 🧳 or #festivedecorations in deep storage such as the garage or attic.

Take this opportunity to air out your spare bedroom and run bedding through the wash.

When it comes to items you no longer need or use, but are still in good condition, look to #repurpose, #rehome or #recycle them.

Pull out the paintbrush 🖌️
If your spare room is looking a little drab, there’s no faster or easier way to give it a fresh new feel than with a lick of paint.

Add little touches of luxury 🕯️ 📖
A few carefully considered additions to your spare room will make overnight guests feel truly special - soft towels in different sizes at the end of the bed, a posy of pretty flowers by the bedside, a scented candle, a mobile phone charger, and a good book.

Beds4U Tauranga

Have you ever wondered why cuddling up next to your partner feels so dam good?

Well, besides the obvious warmth and affection, there's actual science behind it!


Buckle up as we explore how snoozing with your significant other can improve sleep quality and much more.

The Science Behind Sweet Dreams
Ever heard of REM sleep?

It's that magical phase of slumber where dreams take centre stage.

Research suggests that when couples sleep side by side, they tend to spend more time in REM sleep and experience fewer disruptions throughout the night.

That means deeper, more rejuvenating rest for both of you. Who knew sharing a bed could be so beneficial?

But wait, there's more!

Studies have also shown that co-sleeping can lead to increased levels of oxytocin, aka the "love hormone."

This natural chemical not only promotes feelings of bonding and trust but also helps regulate stress levels, making it easier to drift off into dreamland.

The Power of Pillow Talk
It's not just about the Zzz's—sharing a bed can also work wonders for your relationship.

Feeling emotionally secure and connected to your partner can help reduce stress levels, paving the way for a peaceful night's sleep.

Plus, there's nothing quite like waking up next to the one you love, ready to tackle the day together. It's like having your own personal cheerleader 24/7!

But here's the kicker: Studies have shown that couples who share a bed report higher levels of relationship satisfaction and intimacy.

That's right, folks—snuggling up together isn't just good for your sleep, it's also good for your love life!

Syncing Up for Sweet Slumber
Ever notice how you and your partner seem to fall into the same sleep rhythm?

That's called sleep synchronisation, folks, and it's a real game-changer.

When your sleep cycles align, it can lead to smoother transitions between sleep stages and fewer disturbances throughout the night.

In fact, couples who sleep together often experience a deep sense of emotional connection and understanding.

It's like your bodies and minds are perfectly in tune, creating a harmonious atmosphere for rest and relaxation. Talk about a match made in sleep heaven!

Practical Tips for Pillow Partners
Now that we've discussed the perks of co-sleeping, let's discuss some tips for making the most of it.

Here are a few tips to help you and your partner make the most of your shared sleep space:

Invest in a quality mattress. A comfy mattress is key to a good night's sleep. Check out Beds4U's collection of mattresses for the ultimate in comfort and support.

Customise your comfort. Whether you prefer a firm mattress or a plush pillow top, Beds4U has options to suit every sleep style.

Create a cozy sleep environment. Dim the lights, snuggle up under the covers, and let the worries of the day melt away. With the right atmosphere, you'll be drifting off to dreamland in no time.
Snooze Smart with Beds4U
So there you have it, folks!

Sharing a bed with your partner isn't just about cuddles and kisses—it's also about reaping the rewards of better sleep and a stronger relationship.

And when it comes to finding the perfect bed for two, Beds4U has got you covered.

With their wide selection of mattresses and cozy sleep essentials in New Zealand, you'll be well on your way to Snoozeville in no time.

So go ahead, snuggle up and snooze your way to sweet dreams with Beds4U.

After all, when you sleep well, you live well. Sweet dreams!
