Hi Richard.

It transpires that shortly after our comment the afore mentioned topper was not available.

Ryan paid £72 for it (Kingsize 2010).

Looking at the site now it seems that this topper is retailing for around £140 same as the wool topper you refer to.

We think that there was a pricing mistake on the site which made us comment on the quality of product for the price.

Even so, £140 is not a great amount for this topper (The White Company offer a similar topper for a similar price).

Toppers and the benefits thereof is commented on at length throughout this site.

You could look at them as an extension to your mattress that when worn out can be changed - thus leaving your mattress as new.

Polyester is more heat retentive than the natural fibres - and even this aspect of toppers should be a small compromise to the overall benefits.

If you do find toppers heat retentive, the tog reduction of your duvet usually helps.

Our pride and joy mattress is our Artisan Naturals.

Not the most expensive but can be adapted to suit the majority of enquiries we get.

Of course our descriptions will show you what extra you get by spending more but generally, if this is the budget you are working to it is unlikely you will find better.

Kind Regards Gary
