Do you feel the tufting on the mattress?

Hi Lily,   Thanks for your question.   This is difficult to say definitively as comfort is very subjective. What one person feels another doesn’t. Some people are a lot more sensitive to tufting than others.   Tufting is essential to any pocket sprung mattress that’s worth it’s weight… Read More

Help on the right mattress for a big chap
