Mattress advice for rod screwed into spine

Hi Paul. The first thing to get your head around is the ludicrous terminology banded about re Soft, Medium or Firm tensions (SMoF). There is absolutely no universal standard of tension which makes references such as ‘regular support’, Orthopaedic Support, ‘firm support’ or whatever quite a nonsense. Logic dictates that… Read More

Replacing Silentnight mattress please help

Hi Sandie. Firstly, if your base is in good condition (ie: no visible or feeling of the sprung edging being compromised) then I would invest further in the mattress and replace the base when funds allow. Secondly, it is always best to get the biggest bed your room will allow. Read More

mattress advice for arthritis sufferer

Hi Hippy. For the benefit of other readers we have been talking to each other quite a lot and as your weight is on the extreme light side, your requirements do fall outside the norm. We are currently producing a mattress which will be ideal for people of a very… Read More

Replacing Dunlopillo Firmrest mattress for 21 stone

Hi Stephen. Sorry to say, your weight is the overriding factor. I must say you did make the right choice of Dunlopillo Firmrest albeit I am sure you paid over the odds for it. Bear in mind now that Dunlopillo is not the same now as it was in… Read More

Rest Assured Dashwood?

Hi Deborah, Thank you for your question. This mattress is from Argos and in all fairness seems to be well priced.   This conclusion is only based on what your bodyweights are – at under 10st you will not be putting the mattress through a lot of… Read More

Suffering from lower back problems

Hi Iain We source our latex from Latexco – as used by Dunlopillo. I would imagine Millbrook use latex from an equally recognised supplier. However, if the product is the grey graphite latex – then this is not comparable at all. The other question is the 3″ rows of traditional… Read More
