The search to find the UK’s messiest bedroom has returned, after successfully crowning its first winner in 2015, Time4Sleep, the online bed specialist, is now calling for both adults and children in Pembrokeshire to submit their messiest bedroom photos for the chance to win a brand new bed.

Research conducted by the company found that only 25% of Brits tidy their bedroom every day, with 2% admitting that they never tidy their bedroom, and a quarter of UK adults (23%) revealed that their bedroom is messier than their child’s is.

Surprisingly, 16-24 year olds (44%) clean their room more times a week than any other age group, but sharing is caring as you age, with 35-44 year olds more likely (28%) to share the tidying with their partner. For those with children in their household, it’s clear that the kids are messier (58%) but the tidying is split equally, with 44% of children cleaning their own rooms, and 43% of parents cleaning it for them. However, 6% admitted their child’s bedroom is never cleaned.

Clothes are the consistent offender across the board, with 80% of people picking clean and dirty clothes up off the floor when tidying, with other common items including shoes (35%), magazines or books (30%) and crisp and chocolate wrappers (16%). When asked the worst items they had seen on someone else’s bedroom floor, answers ranged from mouldy food and pet litter, to a bear trap and, shockingly, even dead rodents.

Regionally, Birmingham is the UK’s messiest city with 6% of the population never cleaning their bedrooms, but 71% of Newcastle residents are most likely to have dirty clothes on their bedroom floor. Belfast tops the table for the ‘messiest friends’, as 81% revealed they had visited a friend or relative with a messy bedroom.

Are you one of these people? Is your carpet no longer in sight? Has last month’s dinner not made it back to the kitchen yet? Has your child’s room turned into a playground catastrophe? If this sounds all too familiar, then submit you or your child’s messiest bedroom photos here https://www.time4sleep.co.uk/blog/messiest-bedroom-competition/ to be in with a chance of winning a storage bed from Time4Sleep, worth up to £389.

Jonathan Warren, Director at Time4Sleep, said: “In 2015 our winner’s messy bedroom shocked everyone! This year we are hoping for many more pictures that are entertaining.

“We hope this competition will inspire a ‘spring clean’ for households up and down the country. Being organised and de-cluttering our bedrooms can have a massive impact on our lives - we not only feel better but it can contribute to a calmer household.”

“We see a lot of customers looking for storage beds to tidy their possessions away to give them more space in their homes in spring, while raising a few smiles too. This competition is the perfect light-hearted way to encourage a declutter!”
