Did you know you spend, on average 24 years of your life in bed!

When thinking about buying a new mattress or bed, it is important you choose the right one for you. It is always a good idea to invest in the best one you can afford as after all you spend a great deal of time there and you need to ensure you get a good nights sleep.

Back in 1988, a ground-breaking study by sleep expert Dr Chris Idzikowski found that swapping an uncomfortable old bed for a comfortable new one could account for an average of 42 minutes' extra sleep - four times that achieved by over the counter sleep aids. So, if you need to improve the quality of your sleep, one of the most important things you need to do is to make sure you're sleeping on the right bed.

  • FIRM, MEDIUM OR SOFT? 

What sort of style do you prefer? What you like or dislike about your current bed? Do you prefer a softer or fimer feel? It is a myth that firmer mattresses are better for bad backs. What is most important is that you choose a mattress that is comfortable and supportive. 

  • SIZE GUIDE

We sell junior/starter, standard single, small double, double and king size mattresses. Always check the dimensions as bed sizes are not standardised and even if they have the same name (king size) they may not be the same size.  The dimensions of our mattress can be found below

                              Imperial               Metric

  • BEDS

Always ensure your mattress and base can be used together. Most mattress can be used on bunk beds, divans and slatted bases but it is important that you check they are suitable together.
