Hi I would like some advice please. My wife and I will be moving soon and will buy a new bed, we are not small people my wife is 18 st and I am 14. We have a 7 month old baby who occasionally shares our bed for this reason we would like a SK size bed but have been advised that getting a SK mattress into a lot of bedrooms can prove difficult and as we might move a few times in the next few years thought a Zip and Lock Mattress would solve this problem. We want a solid wood sleigh bed, which at a guess will be slatted, we think that we like firm to medium springs but like the top layer to be soft and welcoming - any ideas???

These give you the option of having each half tailor made to your precise bodyweights.
Generally your wife would be looking at medium tension springs (1.42mm) and a firm spring for you (1.60mm).
The top layers should indeed be soft and welcoming on all mattresses but this should be coupled with adequate [and correct] support.
Your sleigh bed will most probably be slatted.
If you have a choice a solid slat construction will be better than sprung slats for these models but dont worry unduly over this.
The important part is that you will have to add a mattress pad of sorts on the slats to protect the upholstery on the underside of the mattress.
We can also make either of the two mattresses in a zip and link pair.
If you have any further questions please give the office a call on 0161 437 4419
John and Ryan.
