How can I tell that a bed will be comfortable for me?
Spend more time making the right choice of bed – trying them out properly in-store; assessing from previous experience the level of firmness/softness you like. It’s your decision – not the salesman’s!
How can I get the most from my mattress?
Most mattresses need regular turning to ensure even wear and tear and today’s mattresses can be pretty heavy, so be careful! However, there are now plenty of non-turn options, which only need swiveling around from time to time, while others need to be turned only.
Do I have to buy a new base if I’m replacing my old mattress?
We always recommend you buy the base and mattress together because the two are designed and manufactured to complement one another in terms of support. Your mattress may show visible signs of wear and tear but the base will have had equal pressure and strain – it just doesn’t show quite so clearly. If you purchase from different manufacturers any warranty may be compromised if the manufacturer deems the base to be unsuitable to support the mattress or vice versa. Another point to watch is making sure the dimensions of any base and mattress separately sourced are compatible – two Kings might not be quite the same size!
Is price important?
There are a lot of beds around at the moment that manage to combine strength, durability, and low prices, so you don’t need to spend a fortune. We price our beds cheaper than most retailers out there.
