This enables us to cut out all middle men and pass on massive savings to our customers. In fact, our products are up to 50% cheaper than the high street.

4. Q. How do I choose the firmness of my new mattress?

A. The popular belief that a firm bed is good for your back is not necessarily true. The choice of tension is related with your body weight, sleeping position and personal preference. Soft beds are suitable for very light people who enjoy sinking into the bed; Medium mattresses are recommended for people with body weight up to 90kg (15 stone), heavier people should opt for a firm feel as they need more support. Side sleepers will find a medium mattress more comfortable, while front and back sleepers sleep better on firmer mattresses. It is important to find the right level of comfort and support for you. If you are unsure, please contact our sleep experts and they will be happy to advise you further.

A. Latex is naturally anti-allergenic, anti-bacterial and anti-dust mite. You can be allergic to latex gloves for example, however, it s is very unlikely the latex used in mattresses to cause an allergic reaction, however if you have a latex allergy you should exercise caution. During manufacturing latex is vulcanized at a temperature of more than 110 degrees for about 45 minutes and this process kills all potential allergens. Unlike memory and polyurethane foams which are made from chemicals, latex does not off-gas any harmful fumes. You may notice some rubbery smell which gradually goes away after airing.

A. You can use your new mattress on any quality base in good condition. The mattress will feel firmer if used on solid platform top divan compared if you place it on a slatted base. A sprung slatted base will enhance the mattress’ performance. The gaps between the slats should be between 5cm and 7.5cm ( 2- 3 inches).
