Hi Sam, Thanks for your enquiry, Shop bought mattresses simply can’t cope, with heavier body weights, and retailers will only ever guarantee a mattress for an individual sleeper of 18 stone.

Every movement, toss, turn leads to that irritating noise that disturbs your sleep and makes you reach for the spare room. In… Read More
Hi Oliver, Thanks for providing such detail, what a breath of fresh air in this industry of secrets, polyester and cage sprung horrors! It sounds like the 800 pocket springs simply aren’t giving you enough support for your sleeping position Oliver. They sound like they are compressing too quickly and… Read More
Hi Clare, Theoretically, you can turn a no turn mattress, but I wouldn’t advise it. One sided mattresses can be really problematic and we have written about it here and what to avoid. If you did turn the mattress you would be just sleeping on at most, an insulator… Read More
