Peter Wright is well known for tinkering in an attempt to be at his best. This time, he has gone to a new level.
Snakebite's dream of retaining the UK Open title could be aided by better sleeping arrangements. The Mendham ace has brought a new mattress and pillows into his setup as he looks to gain an advantage over competitors. Wright believes that it could make all the difference in Minehead.
"It sounds daft, but it's important for a darts player to sleep comfortably," Wright said.
"Any slight twinge or ache to the back, neck or arm can affect the way you play. The standard of hotel beds is terrible, but a firm called Rem-Fit gave me a special orthopaedic mattress.
"I'm even being given hi-tech new pillows that vibrate when you start to snore, and makes your head move so you don't make a noise."
The world number two beat Gerwyn Price 11-6 to win the UK Open in 2017. It was his first, and so far only, major title victory.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
