Sleep experts warn over popular cloud bed trend as it causes backache

The most recent craze that's captured people's attention is the cloud bed.

LONDON (Web Desk) - Every day there seems to be a new trend that's sweeping TikTok, with clips garnering millions of likes and people rushing to try the latest trend for themselves.

And it seems the most recent craze that's captured people's attention is the cloud bed, a topic that has racked up 132 million views on the video-sharing app.

So what exactly is a cloud bed? Well it's pretty similar to a normal bed, but without a large frame or headboard. It's more of a bed base that is soft and padded instead of being made from metal. The base also extends out around the sides of the matress instead of stopping underneath it as most typically do.

Cloud beds are quite low to the ground and are white or beige in colour as is the bedding on top of the mattress, with lots of big fluffy pillows added to make it look like you're sleeping on a giant cloud.

Social media users were quick to proclaim the cloud bed as their "dream" bed and many have rushed out to make their dream a reality.

One TikTok user named Becca Beasley shared a video of her putting together her cloud bed, proclaiming it had made her "bed dreams come true".

While another, Natalie R told her followers how it made her room feel "cosier" and her bed looks much "bigger".

However, a sleep expert has since warned against the craze, claiming that the viral bed could actually cause injury.
