World champion Kimi Räikkönen, The Iceman, sleeps

World champion Kimi Räikkönen, The Iceman,
sleeps tight no matter what!
Rumor tells that before his Australian debut
in 2001, Kimi had fallen asleep on a massage table an hour before the start. When he
was asked to get ready for work, all he wanted to do was to sleep for five more minutes.
Nowadays Kimi is much more particular
about the kind of a bed he wants for himself.
”In my opinion, a good bed improves your
sleep quality; it doesn’t inflict any sleep-related pain. There is a big difference between a
good and a bad bed”, says Räikkönen.
”A good bed is not like a couch where
you can sink in. When you have slept in a
good quality bed you simply know it’s right.
I’ve had a bed from Unikulma since my first
season in 2001. After that I haven’t even
considered any other manufacturer when
buying a bed.”
Switzerland and in Finland. When I’m away
for competitions, the beds are not that good.”
” I can assure you that I’m completely
sold and there’s no need to consider other
options. One can say all sorts of things about
beds but in the end only you can tell the difference between them. There is no need for
further analyzes. It is easy to tell a difference
between a bed which is good and a bed
which is not that good.”
”I like an adjustable bed with a massage
function and in my opinion it’s wise to invest
in a good bed. There are all kinds of beds on
the market but the most important thing
is that you wake up well rested and without
back pain. A good bed does not cause pain.
It pays itself back by contributing to your
well-being.
”I don’t have any reason to resort to
sales speeches. You know soon enough what
kind of bed you own”, Räikkönen says while
yawning heavily. Even the thought of his own
bed makes him immediately tired.

”It’s completely different to sleep in a
good bed - especially when I’ve had all sorts
of back problems. You can really tell the
difference between sleeping at home and in
a hotel. At home my bed is a hundred times
better!”
Even though Räikkönen says he is still able to
fall asleep easily when he is tired, this statement comes with a caveat.
”I’m still able to fall asleep when
traveling although not as easily as when I
was younger. The thing is that I like these
Unikulma beds. I have these beds both in
