Mattresses

The key factors for a mattress are comfort and support

The correct support will depend partly on your weight, profile and sleeping position. To keep your spine properly aligned, the mattress should neither be too soft nor too hard. Too soft and it will not support your hips and spine; too hard and it will cause pressure on your hips and shoulders. A general rule is that the greater your weight, the firmer the mattress that is needed to support you. We'd advise you to avoid a very firm mattress if you sleep on your side and have wide hips.

Comfort is very subjective; some people prefer a firmer mattress to others. When choosing a new mattress bear in mind your opinions about your current mattress and others you’ve slept on.

Our selection will give you a range of firmness options, all with excellent long term back support. Our advice and recommendations are based on our opinions and observations and feedback from customers in our showroom.

Before the full details, here is a summary:
The Waterlattex is one of our most popular mattresses, it suits a wide range of shapes and sizes. If in doubt, choose the Waterlattex.

Our firmest mattress is the Relaxsan. It is very firm and can be a good choice if you like a very firm mattress or weigh over 95 Kg and need firm support.

The Memory Classic Coolmax is our most popular memory foam mattress. A firm memory mattress suitable for most weights and excellent value. Memory foam molds to the shape of your body.
The Memory Serenity Coolmax is similar to the Memory Classic, but softer and a good choice for lighter weight people.

The Memoryshaper Streamline has a thicker layer of memory foam, can be made in special sizes and can also have a firm half and a medium-firm half.

Organic Latex is a superb medium - firm latex mattress perfect for the organic lifestyle.

The Prima is an excellent, no frills budget mattress.

Futon mattresses are medium to firm and incorporate natural fibres for the good breathability - they can be used both for our beds and our sofa beds.

Apart from the Organic Latex, these mattresses are supplied vacuum packed and delivered as a rolled up tube. Carry them to the bedroom, place on the bed, remove the wrapping and watch them expand to their full size. They are hypoallergenic, resistant to dust mites and recommended for allergy sufferers. Some people find that they are a warmer sleep than a pocket sprung mattress – you may need a thinner duvet – see also the Coolmax mattress.

We also make Futon mattresses which can be used both for our beds and futon sofa beds.

This is a memory foam mattress, firmer than the Duet, suitable for most body weights. Fitted with a Coolmax cover to keep you cool and fresh.

• easy maintenance, not reversible, simply rotate top to bottom once a month
• removable, washable Coolmax cover
Price includes delivery on UK mainland.

Futon Mattress (firm)

A modern version of the traditional Japanese mattress, good value.

Although the same firmness rating as the Waterlattex, the sensation is different in that the surface is softer and you settle deeper into the futon. Futons are filled with layers of cotton and polyester felt. In 2005 we introduced a special new filling - cotton fibres held in a matrix of polyester - into our futons to give even better performance. The cotton layers create the essential ‘futon’ style, they contribute to firmness and the “cool in summer, warm in winter” character. The polyester layers are springier, lighter in weight and increase the futon’s comfort and life span. Our 6 layer futon now contains 2 layers of cotton, 2 layers of ultraspring polyester and 2 layers of the new technical filling. We have over 20 years experience as specialist futon makers using the best quality materials to produce very comfortable futons.

• futons become firmer over time but will typically last between 5 and 10 years. Good maintenance is essential to maximise the life of your futon.
• the cotton in a futon will absorb the moisture trapped under the quilt when you sleep. You must air your futon and fluff up the fibres by rolling it up and turning it over once a week - more often if you perspire heavily. Roll it up like a Swiss roll in the morning, roll it out again at night. If you use it on the floor you should do this on alternate days.
• the thickness of the futon should be appropriate to your weight. If your weight is below 80Kg you will need a 6 layer futon. Above 80Kg you will need a 7 layer futon and over 95Kg you will need to use two 4 layer futons - or one of our other types of mattress. If you want a 7 layer 1.80m futon you will need to use a 3 layer and a 4 layer futon together
• futons can be made in special shapes and sizes
• futons are covered in calico, off white cotton. Coloured fabrics are available for sofabed futons.

 

Futons for Sofa Beds

The Tokyo and Fiji futons sofa beds are normally supplied with a coloured cotton drill futon.
The cotton drill colours are: navy blue, amethyst, wine, terracotta, lake blue, forest green, harmony green and stone.

The futons are finished with coloured ties which pass through the futon and keep the filling in position. Choose from: natural, black, navy or grey ties.

The Cuba and Panama sofabeds normally have a calico, off white, futon with an extra faux suede cover which can be removed for cleaning

Mattress Protectors

Recommended for every new mattress! If you want to protect your new mattress, or suffer from bed mite allergies, we'd recommend the use of a fitted mattress protector. They have a lightly quilted soft cotton cover with elasticated corners for easy removal and cleaning.
The underside of the mattress protector is treated with Ultrafresh*, an antibacterial barrier effective in the elimination of dust mites. Our mattress protectors are machine washable, they are made oversized and shrink to the correct size after the first wash.
Free delivery.
