Individuals tend to have their own preferences when it comes to their choice of mattress. While some prefer softer ones, others opt for more firm objects on which to sleep. Although this is often not a problem, it can become an issue if a couple disagree over which sort of sleeping surface they would like Rather than argue over the difference of opinion or have one of the pair suffering and potentially losing sleep, it is possible to buy twin mattresses - as opposed to a double mattress. This is the suggestion of Melanie Haiken, who noted on Caring.com that one option is to push the two items together and put a king-size cover sheet over both. She noted this gives the appearance of one mattress, while in fact offering each individual their preferred product. The writer also noted that disagreements over sleeping are by no means rare. She said: "It's the ultimate his/hers dilemma: What to do when differences in sleep preferences keep you from sharing a bed comfortably with your mate? "Unfortunately, it's all too common. In a 2005 National Sleep Foundation survey, nearly one in four married couples reported sleeping in separate beds or even separate rooms." As well as disagreements over beds, there can be differences of opinion concerning how much light there should be in the room and battles over snoring. In response to the issue of snoring, Ms Haiken advised culprits to try using nose bands designed to combat the noise. She remarked: "Anything that stops or reduces snoring is going to help both partners sleep better." Snoring is a prevalent issue and there are a number of factors that contribute to the likelihood of someone suffering from it, with excess weight being one of these. Those who sleep on their backs are also more likely to produce such sounds.
