Mattress types
What's inside makes the biggest difference to how a mattress feels and how long it lasts.
Pocket spring
Every spring sits in its own fabric pocket and moves on its own, so the mattress follows your shape and you feel far less of your partner moving.
- Feels
- Contouring, supportive
- Great for
- Couples, back and side sleepers
Pillowtop
An extra cushioned layer on top, usually 25 to 75 mm of foam, latex, wool or gel memory foam. It softens the feel and eases pressure on hips and shoulders.
- Feels
- Plush, hotel-style
- Great for
- Side sleepers, sore joints
Latex & memory foam
No springs at all. Memory foam, first developed for NASA, and latex mould to your body and soak up movement, so one person getting up barely disturbs the other.
- Feels
- Body-hugging, very still
- Great for
- Light sleepers, couples
How firm should you go?
A good starting point is how you sleep. Everyone's different, though, so the best test is to lie on a few in our showroom.
Stomach sleepersFirmer keeps your hips from sinking and your back straight.
Back sleepersMedium firm to medium supports the natural curve of your spine.
Side sleepersSofter lets your shoulder and hip sink in and takes pressure off.
Caring for your mattress
Rotating it regularly evens out the wear and helps it last for years.
Single-sided mattresses
Designed to be slept on one side only. Rotate it head to foot, but never flip it over.

Double-sided mattresses
Rotate it head to foot every time, and every second time flip it over as well, so both sides wear evenly.
