Feather and Black mattress questions

Sarah asked
2nd December 2013

Hi John and Ryan, I am looking for a new mattress to replace one we have had for 10yrs. We have a very limited budget and were wondering if you could advise us on the best value for money that will give us the support needed and we can then get a topper for comfort. We were looking at your lower priced mattresses but are concerned they may be too high for our room as we sleep under the eaves. I weigh 10.5 stone and my husband is approx 13 stone. I was looking at the ikea sring mattresses as they seem slimmer but not sure how they rate for quality!

Also Feather and Black Shelley / Shelley Deluxe. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks Sarah .

Hi Sarah.

The Shelley Mattress from Feather and Black is quite suitable as the foundation (support). Adding your own comfort layers (don’t scrimp) will give you a comfortable mattress.

Mattresses within this price range are all pretty similar. pocket spring support with polyester comfort layers. Our Origins Pocket Reflex 1000 is absolutely stuffed with upholstery – hence the height, and it is unlikely The Shelley will be the same (you can inquire at F&B what this is and also if it is one-sided or two-sided).

However, your requirements (available space) requires you to go for a low level (even though it will cost you more). If you let me know the available height you are working with I may be able to suggest further options.

If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419
