Hi Kath,

Thanks for your question.

All of our mattresses will work with a sprung edge divan base.

We usually advise that a sprung edge base will soften slightly the over all feel of the mattress and add a further sink sensation.

If you’ve already had a sprung edge divan you will probably know the sensation I’m taking about.

We don’t currently provide natural coverings for our mattress toppers.

Why is this you will no doubt ask!

Well because the majority of natural coverings are not really fully natural.

Take the bamboo example, we have seen mattress coverings claiming natural bamboo content when looked into with material suppliers who make similar materials, its standard that these blends of material can contain 4% actual natural fibre meaning its still either white fibre of a poly blend.

Rather than mislead we currently use a high GSM polyester which we find is better value for money.

4% bamboo/cashmere/cotton really isn’t going to improve the breathability of the fabric enough to warrant the uplift in cost.

We always recommend spending this money on your bedding instead, i.e.

Egyptian cotton high thread count sheets.

We are however looking at improving our cover material with an optional extra of a more natural fabric, but in the true sense, at the moment this is prohibitively expensive and we still need to do further tests as to the benefits etc.

Ie would you really pay £300-£500 for a kingsize merino wool blend topper cover?

Which us what a high percentage 60%+ or 100% natural blend would easily cost.

Hope that helps Kath.
