Research from the US reveals that men are often unhappy with the mattress their parent chooses, but do not feel like they can say anything.
According to research carried out by 1800mattress.com, 38 per cent of men said they were "unhappy to miserable" with their current sleeping arrangement - uncomfortable mattresses and pillows were cited as the main problem.
Equally, more than 50 per cent of the men said that they had been excluded from the mattress and buying process by their wife or partner.
"Men and women have different needs in bed, particularly when one partner may have a health issue like back pain, or an allergic reaction to a type of bedding material," explained John O'Connell, the company's senior vice president of merchandising and retail.
"This was not a mainstream problem ten or 15 years ago, because there was little choice in the type or style of mattress available, anyway.
"So the male partner in bed just put up with a less than adequate night's sleep in bed, not thinking he had options."
Mr O'Connell added that it was vital for men to more involved with the buying process as "the right mattress and pillow combination is essential" for getting a good night's sleep.
