Nicky

Nicky's travelled the world and slept on a fair number of beds - from luxurious king sizes in five-star hotels to creaky, worn innerspring mattresses in dodgy hostels.

As editor of Sleep Hero UK and a certified sleep therapist, she's been on the hunt to find the best products and practices in the sleep world in the UK and beyond.

When not writing (or sleeping), Nicky enjoys a range of sporty activities, including hiking, swimming, and skating, and gets her energy from eating copious amounts of sushi.

Nicky has played a key role in shaping this site, dedicating years to managing content, overseeing the team, and nurturing partner relations. Although she no longer works for Sleep Hero, we highly recommend her to other publications and brands.

Please note: To maintain her privacy, Nicky has chosen to remain anonymous, operating under a pseudonym and with an avatar image.
