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.

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.
