Star Wars and Sleep: Is There a Link?

May the 4th be with you. To celebrate this day, we delved into the sleeping habits of our three favourite Star Wars characters and recommended them their perfect bed.

Along time ago in a galaxy far, far away… there was The Star Wars Saga; a film franchise that spawned games, toys, lunchboxes, bedclothes, sequels, prequels, “side-quels” and more poor imitations than you can count.

The fanbase is probably the biggest and most loyal there could be in the world of cinema - there are countless webpages and fan-made books about the background of even the smallest characters. But what we really want to know is, does anyone ever actually sleep?

Does Anyone Sleep in Star Wars?

With all the depth of lore and the amount of content contained within the phenomenon that is Star Wars have you ever seen anyone sleep?

Spoiler alert! After blowing up the Death Star, rescuing Han from Jabba’s lair or duelling against Lord Vader, surely they must've felt just a little bit tired? And yet we never saw anyone getting a proper sleep.

On the assumption that they're desperately yearning for a good snooze, we've got some bed recommendations certain to refresh and rejuvenate them.

Princess Leia

We do see her resting after being captured by The Empire, but laying on a hard bench in a detention area. That’s not comfortable for anyone but as she is a Princess, she would likely to want a soft luxury mattress that was inexpensive to keep her one with the people of the rebellion she leads.

Han Solo

Everyone’s favourite rogue has to keep on the move to elude bounty hunters, such as Boba Fett, and to complete his smuggling contracts on time.

Han would need something light and comfortable, that can be easily rolled out and put away, and doesn’t eat into his profits as a smuggler. A memory foam topper is probably his best choice.

Jabba the Hutt

The crime boss whose name is famous (and feared) throughout the galaxy. Jabba the Hutt is known for his ruthlessness to those who oppose or displease him, dropping them into his pet Rancor’s pit or the Sarlacc being his favourite ways as punishment.

As he would be used to only the best, we would recommend the top-of-the-range Octaspring^® 9500 Latex Memory Foam Mattress to him as it’s the deepest, most luxurious mattress Dormeo can offer. 3 Octaspring^® memory foam spring layers with each layer being arranged into support zones for perfect support across the whole body, this is the last word in night time comfort.

If you are Rebellion or Empire, Han or Luke, X-Wing or Millennium Falcon: we all need a good night’s sleep and Dormeo has a selection of mattresses and toppers to suit all.
