New Bed Chemistry quiz tests if you and your partner are sleep compatible

How well do you any your partner sync up when it comes to sleep? A fresh 'Bed Chemistry' quiz may now be the way to determine if you are truly a dream team in bed. It follows a new survey that suggests a third of Brits are with their partner - due to snoring or duvet hogging - with a fifth frequently using separate rooms.

The poll of 2,000 adults discovered that 30% are due to differing sleep schedules, and 20% have to lie next to a bedsheet hogger or constant twitcher. Sadly, only 17% of adults claim to ‘never’ due to their partner.

Dreams, sent radio presenter and comic Chris Stark to Carnaby Street to uncover first-hand how couples feel about their sleep compatibility – or lack of it.

Speaking about the study, Stark commented: “We all like to think we’re a dream to share a bed with, but let’s be honest – most of us are probably a bit of a nightmare.

He added it's likely to be anything, "from , duvet hogging, or taking up the whole bed… or like in my house, having to share my 4am alarms.”

Over two thirds of those who reckon they are the one causing the problems feel guilty about at night.

On average, respondents reckon they lose out on 48 minutes of sleep a night because of their partner, amounting to the equivalent of 24 full nights a year of no ‘shut eye’. But 17% estimate this to be more like two hours or more every night, according to the OnePoll.com figures.

Chris added: “The great news is that making a few simple changes to your sleep setup can make a huge difference.”

However, the study found that partners are not the sole culprits disrupting sleep. A significant 23% of respondents described their current mattress as merely 'okay'.

Among those dissatisfied with their sleeping arrangements, 44% reported back pain issues and 13% were frustrated by noisy springs. Notably, many had been using the same for up to five years.

Moreover, 47% of participants struggled with temperature-related sleep disturbances. External noise troubled 36%, and 28% found their pillow lacking in comfort, further hindering their ability to catch quality rest.

A spokesperson for Dreams, added: “Sleep incompatibility can be a real challenge for couples. Whether it’s differing mattress preferences, varying temperature needs, or one partner tossing and turning, poor sleep doesn’t just affect rest – it impacts mood, energy and overall well-being.

To address this issue, Dreams has introduced a, designed to evaluate couples' sleep preferences and help them find a mattress that caters to both partners' needs.
