Hi Jon. I would have no qualms about buying a mattress with scuff marks. I cannot say if they will wash off but in any case, marks do not compromise the usefulness of the mattress. I do have concerns about the RRP you quote. I did a very quick search… Read More
Hi Antonia, Thank you for your question. The only mattress that we could recommend for a 3 year old would be our Origins Comfort 1000 but with a mattress topper for extra comfort. This mattress is made up of man made fillings and is the softest mattress that we… Read More
Hi Ashley. I would say the Origins Comfort will be the best choice for a three year old. This will see her out by the time she is in her teens. I cant see any intrinsic detail for the mattresses you refer to so unable to say with authority… Read More
Hi Ray, Thanks for your question. A sprung base acts as a shock absorber for the mattress but also gives it extra support. Whereas a solid platform top base will firm up the feel of the mattress, a sprung base will… Read More

Hi Maggie. I agree, but bear in mind the support has to be right for your bodyweights. All mattresses that sit on a firm base (slats/platform top divan) will indeed feel firmer than those on a spring edged divan. I would consider our Origins Latex as it is latex (a… Read More
Hi Robert. Its a good topper for a good price. £150 is not particularly expensive. If you look at the Vi Spring Coronet mattress you will see that the upholstery element on top of the 1300gsm insulating layer is “two layers of 300gsm British fleece wool and… Read More
Hi Geoff. I think you know of our disdain towards Silentnight. For a similar amount you can get our Origins 1500 or 2000. Full two sided mattresses. The Neptune is described as: Built with two indulgent layers of springs – 750 Miracoil springs, for perfect body support in all… Read More
