COULD flat-pack furniture giant IKEA be encroaching on pharmacy professional sleep services?
The "incredible furniture store" has released two new podcasts which aim to help customers get to sleep a little more easily.
Narrated by your choice of a male or female Ikea staffer, the "Ikea Sleep Podcast" consists of someone simply reading the Ikea catalogue.
"As experts in life at home, we want to inspire Australians to create an ideal and healthy sleep environment so they can feel refreshed and recharged to get ready for the day ahead.
"Throughout this podcast, you'll hear many names of IKEA furniture as we work through the IKEA catalogue, starting in the bedroom section and ending in the bathroom," the company said.
The podcasts are available for download at ikeaau.podbean.com.
