Asthma and allergy sufferer needs mattress help

Nicola asked

Hi, What a brilliant website – only downfall, I have spent all my Saturday night reading it !!

As an asthma and allergy sufferer what advice/information can you offer with regard to the best beds for keeping dust mites at bay. We currently have a Slumberland pocket sprung which we are looking to replace as it’s 8 years old now. There is a place near us in Saddleworth, which sells Harrison Spinks…your thoughts..?

We are looking to spend around £500-£900 and prefer a firmer mattress. Many thanks and we look forward to hearing from you – hope you’re feeling better too !

Hi Nicola.

As you have probably read, our obsession for toppers, turning, airing and rotating the mattress, and everything else that keeps it as new will be all that you can do to prevent or reduce any allergy triggers.

You will also know that this is not the end of the story – the bedroom itself has to be an easily maintained environment to prevent dust build up – so the less clutter, ornaments, soft toys etc will be beneficial in controlling your asthma.

My initial recommendation for you will be ideally our Artisan Naturals but if that exceeds your budget then our Artisan Tailored Pocket would be a next best option.

We like Harrison Spinks as a manufacturer – however, they do not divulge any upholstery weights which make it quite difficult to establish a value and worth in relation to any particular model.

Kind Regards Gary
