Bad back pain. Which mattress is suitable?

Hi Paul.   Thank you for your enquiry on our website. From what you say it really does indicate that it is your mattress that is causing you discomfort. I wonder though if your wife is feeling the same discomfort as you?  You do not give… Read More

What is the best mattress for sciatica?

Hi Nicola. Not too sure what disc prolapse actually is (sounds unbelievably painful). If your advice for a firm mattress (orthopaedic) was from your back practitioner then I cannot disagree. However, I would be inclined to base your decision on your bodyweight (please advise) and… Read More

MDF on slatted bases

Hi Graham. Solid slats do not need this bridging layer. The purpose of them is to create a more flatter surface for the mattress. The picture shows the bed with the headboard at the top. The bottom sheet is laying side to side (feet end) in order for a… Read More

Can I have a mattress for a futon frame?

A question on mattress style versus comfort

Hi Ali, Thank you for your question. This is a perfect example of form over function. I had a look at the bedstead you refer to and completely understand your reservations over the Mattress size. Bear in mind that all mattresses of worth will be in… Read More

Will Artisan Naturals be right choice for me
