A customer asked

Hi, I’ve seen some really cheap memory foam mattresses on ebay by a company called Durest, can you tell me what you think of them? What’s worried me is there are a number of bad reviews about them online and I can’t find out any details about their beds! Thanks Jodie >

Hi Susan,
 
Thank you for your question. Without the details of the mattress, I am unable to say for sure what may be the cause of your sleep disturbance.  I would guess that at that bargain price the mattress contains open coil springs. These are made of a continuous piece of wire that is coiled to create a massive set of joined springs and they tend to be of a thicker gauge making them too firm for most people. As the springs are all one piece of wire this means that when one of you moves in the night the other person gets disturbed by the motion.

Pocket springs greatly reduce motion disturbance as they are individual springs encased in either spun-bonded material or the more breathable calico material.  The best way to eliminate this is with a zip and link mattress.  This is where you have two separate mattresses that are zipped together to make a whole mattress.
 

Bodyweight Spring tension
Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg Medium (1.4mm)
16 Stone / 101kg Upwards Firm (1.6mm)
Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) Soft (1.2mm)


 
Our Origins range and two of the Artisan range use the spun-bonded pocket springs and the majority of the Artisan range use the calico pocketed springs that can have the tension selected to suit your body weight to give you the correct level of support. The different models in each range have different upholstery layers to create different feels depending on your comfort preference, sleeping habits and budget.
 
I hope this was helpful and if you would like any further information or would like to discuss the suitability of any of our mattresses, please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.
 
Kind Regards
Michaela

Hi Jodie,

We had another comment on Durest the other day.

I’ve not been able to find out much about them apart from they seem to be an ebay seller. I can’t find out anything about the components, details or specifications of their mattresses. We always advise you need this information to make an informed decision. So I’d get in touch directly with them to find out more. We always state that if you can’t find out anything about the mattress you would be wise to exercise caution.

There are a few important questions you need to think about when deciding on which mattress to buy, please find our article on whats the best mattress for you here.

If a manufacturer is refusing to give this information what does this say about them? I may sound overly critical but this business model of hiding what’s in your beds or keeping it secret is a far cry from our business of transparency and honesty.

How much to spend on a double mattress? What can I expect for my money?
Under £500 Will not get you much at best a 13.5 gauge open coil/cage sprung with a thin polyester layer or a solid foam mattress.
£500 Entry level spunbond springs with some form of synthetic upholstery. Usually one sided mattresses.
£750 The beginnings of a basic pocket springs unit with 800 – 1000 count. No substantial amount of filling other than foams and synthetic materials. Two sided models.
£1000 Should get you away from most low ranges and into the mid-range pocket spring models.
£1250 Should get you a decent pocket sprung mattress with some Natural Fibre content.
£1500 Should get you many manufacturers mid-range models with Natural Fibres
£1500-£2000 Should get you a Hand Made primarily Natural Fibre Quality Mattress
£2000+ You should expect 100% Natural Fibres and Traditional Hand Made Construction Method.
£5000+ A Bespoke Hand Made Sleep System, High-end Spring Units & Featuring the Worlds Most Luxurious Natural Fibres.
