What Dr Nerina does for Land of Beds customers

We sell beds. We are not qualified to give medical advice, and we do not pretend to be. Dr Nerina is the check on that line.

  • Reviews our sleep and mattress guidance for physiological accuracy
  • Advises our buying team on what the sleep evidence does and does not support
  • Contributes to staff training, so the advice you get in Wigan or Helsby matches the advice here
  • Tells us when a claim is marketing rather than science, and we take it out

"People come to me wanting a trick that will knock them out. What actually works is much less glamorous. Eat something in the morning, put the phone down, and give your body a reason to feel safe."
