Getting my mattress upstairs!

Hi Viv, Thank you for your question. I have great sympathy with your access issue, the Victorians never envisaged that people would opt for large furniture in the future. Mattresses can be made in two halves, but only in a king size and above. A king size… Read More

Pocket sprung mattresses

Hi Sheena, All mattresses will suffer with a level of settlement, even if turned and rotated regularly and there is an industry tolerance for this. However, in your case the main issue seems to be that the central part of the mattress is not getting any usage and as such,… Read More
