Health, Safety & Welfare in the Bedroom

The Elizabethan poet Thomas Dekker wrote, “Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.” No doubt that we all know that the benefits of a good night sleep are well documented.  Yet, most of us never seem to be able to find the time to get enough!  This course will review some of the ways that your clients can get the most “bang for their buck” when it comes to sleep by choosing the right bedding solutions.  Join Serena Cole for an exploration of mattresses, frames and bedding options that promote health, safety and welfare, not to mention a good night’s sleep!
