Review of the Kingsize Origins Pocket 2000 Mattress. Firstly, the service from John is excellent, - if you decide to buy a bed you’ll probably meet in person, in fact, as he delivers the mattress straight to your bedroom!
After having looked at the internet in general at a number of mattresses what impressed me most was the honesty of John’s approach. There really are those special offers of was £1300, now £500 (and I saw it on some of the mattresses John sells, and he sells it cheaper!). But with this company, you get a good overview of how mattresses are made, what to expect and what you are actually paying for. I’m confident to say that you get a quality mattress at an excellent price, in fact the cheapest price I could find. So, the mattress itself. We ordered a Kingsize Pocket 2000 with an additional Reflex layer to give it extra substance and to provide a durable bridge between the spring unit and the top layers. The first thing you notice is the quality and weight of the mattress – this isn’t going to bend around doors (so do make sure there’s a clear, straight run to the room you will be using it in). The fabric is excellent and there are the nice touches of hand tufted woolen felts. (It’s scary to say but I now know what they are.) You feel like you have a bargain, even before you’ve laid down on the thing. The mattress, itself, is medium to firm, and we have been using it for a couple of months now. We’ve found it to be very comfortable, and believe that we have a mattress that will last. My wife and I did look at a number of mattresses, including some of the high-end Vi-Sprung mattress, which retail in the £1000s. There is a difference, perhaps not that great, actually, but as John states, he’s not competing in that market. The bottom line, in my opinion is this: if you want an excellent mattress at an excellent price, to include great service (I mean if you don’t like it you can return within 14 days, and you don’t have to worry about collection!) I would wholeheartedly recommend John and Factory Beds Direct. Cheers, John!
