Hi Martin, As you are probably aware there are many makes of mattresses and many are available in firm/extra firm tension, however, we are not a comparison site so would suggest you search on line for appropriate suppliers of such items. Regards Mike
Hi Cole, I would recommend boarding over the slats to reduce the impact of sagging you’ve experienced. This occurs when mattress moulds to the gaps in between slats on a base. It then can cause sagging and uneven wear to the bed. We have discussed this in depth and… Read More
Hi Scott, Thank you for your enquiry on our website. Unfortunately, aside from the spring count, there is very little other information provided regarding this mattress on the above site, to confirm what this mattress contains by way of fillings. It is, therefore, impossible for us… Read More

It’s unusual it has happened so soon. I’m guessing from the depth of the mattress that there’s only… Read More
Hi Darren, The I-gel Athena uses Benson’s new ‘i-gel foam’ but that is as much detail as they release on it. We know they state it reduces heat which is something that our Hybrid foams aim to address as well, but they don’t say how. As you may know,… Read More
