Mattresses need a beds and beds need mattresses. It’s stating the obvious I know but choosing the right bed for your needs is important.

Wooden Beds

The Memory Pocket Deluxe includes 1000 independently moving pocket springs, reacting to your individual movement. Perfect if you share a bed with a partner because this type of spring system prevents roll together.

It also makes sure you’re fully supported whilst relieving pressure from vulnerable joints, such as shoulders, hips and feet. This mattress offers medium tension on the firmness rating scale.

Contains 850 pocket springs which move individually, giving the feeling of extra support when they move with the contours of your body. Such a design has many benefits, supporting major joints like the shoulders, hips and knees, alongside promoting the natural form of your spine.

Supports individual sleepers, meaning you will not feel your partner moving around at night.

The Shire Tuft is an orthopaedic open coil sprung mattress with many good qualities. Featuring hand tufts, deep layers of white fibre filling and a soft knitted cover. Even better, it’s very affordable too.

This mattress has a medium-firm firmness rating, good for those who feel like they need a little extra support but don’t want to sacrifice any comfort.

Wooden beds are very traditional and charming, with a range of stains and colours available. Natural woods such as oak and pine create a calming ambience.

Miracoil Springs

Silentnight have found a new way a mattress can deliver on sturdy support through a system of interwoven springs that run vertically (head-to-toe) along the bed. Normally, they would run horizontally and would often cause ‘roll-together’ in other styles of mattresses. This mattress has a firmer firmness rating and is arranged in a way which gives key areas of your body support, like the knees, hips and shoulders.

Latex Layer

More info.

Naturally cooler than memory foam, this 4cm layer of Innergetic Latex is also antibacterial, improves circulation and moves with the contours of your body. Also known as an eco-friendly material as it is extracted from rubber trees.

Geltex

More info.

Made from air-permeable foam and elastic gel, you won’t feel too hot or cold because the air can pass through it.

The Millionaire Geltex Comfort has a thick layer of this material, where you will feel like you’re floating at an ideal temperature.

Solid slats are a more durable and are a long-lasting alternative to sprung slats. Sprung slats give a more cushioned support to the mattress and are easy to assemble.

Metal Beds

Metal beds often emanate looks from bygone times. Victorian and antique looking frames are popular. And there’s contemporary metal frames with sleek brushed aluminium and chrome frames.
