Problems with Millbrook memory foam mattress

Hi Mark,   Thanks for your question.   Had a quick look round to see what depth of memory foam was used in this model, and found that the depth is 23mm (less than one inch) If we take into account the retail price of this… Read More

Moving to new flat on limited budget. What mattress?

Hi Angela. My first tip would be to spend a day going around the usual bed shops to see what you £400 can get you. This will be so enlightening and put your expectations into some sort of perspective. You will soon realise that £400 for a complete set is… Read More

Which mattress suitable for bedstead?

Hi Aaron. My personal thoughts on the ‘specially made for slatted bedframes’ thesis is that (quite simply) if you buy a two-sided mattress and do not turn it – then that is better than buying a one-sided mattress with minimal upholstery on the underside.

Hi Azra. It seems that the Sydney is no longer for sale on Benson’s website, but from previous notes, I know that this was not a particularly cheap model. The Kingsize mattress [£824 (with a ridiculous WAS price of £1939.) Feb: 2012] To be perfectly honest I cannot bring myself… Read More

Hypnos dipping?

Hi Ruth. It’s Hypnos orthocare 12, that you had delivered. Had a quick look. I would be inclined at this stage to register your complaint with the retailer or Hypnos. The build quality looks / sounds !! pretty substantial. Obviously no specification is given and so I would ask Hypnos… Read More

Vi Spring Herald or John Lewis Angora?

Hi Rob.   Thank you for your question.  Not too sure how much effort you want to put into this? I get the sense that you are completely and utterly frustrated by the whole process! Vi-Spring is a premium manufacturer and it is unlikely you can go wrong with them. … Read More
