Hi, Thank you for such an informative and non biased site,you have helped me massively in finally finding my perfect bed!

I have a Super king sized And so to bed brass bed frame,a Simmons divan and I have just bought a Harrisons 3250 sprung mattress medium tension which is the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on.I have a Fogarty 100% wool mattress protector. You recommended Duvet and pillow warehouse ( now Soak and Sleep) I have made six orders in the past month,I have mostly 800 or 1000 tread count white cotton bedding,again the best quality I have ever found,but what makes them outstanding is their pricing,two 1000 TC square pillow cases £15, superking extra deep 800TC fitted sheet £30. The eqivelant in Harrods is £169 for one pillow case!

I will never buy bedding elsewhere again.I just bought a cotton duvet ( summer tog) at just £32 and prefer it to my stupidly expensive Hungarian down duvet. My question is,I have my perfect bed,but do I need to invest in a topper to protect the mattress?

I am happy with the feel /tension and don’t want to alter it,I don’t like sleeping on a fat feather topper,but want to maintain the life span of my bed. Any suggestions?

Many thanks,p.s I dislike any man made fibres so no latex or memory foam. I bought a silk topper for my daughters bed from DAPW which is lovely and soft and not too thick,would this perhaps work on top of my wool protector?

Hi Anthea,

Thank you for your question.

We would not recommend purchasing a topper before trying the mattress for several weeks to give your body a chance to adjust to the new feel, you may find you do not need the additional expenses of a topper.

We would usually recommend a topper to soften those upper layers slightly if you need to adjust the comfort of your mattress.

Some individuals like to use a mattress topper to increase the longevity of their mattress however this is not a necessity, we would say a mattress protector is the more important factor.

Given that you are content with the feel of your mattress I would not say you need a topper, if you would like to purchase a topper to increase longevity then yes, go for a natural fibre topper that is not too thick so it alters the comfort as little as possible.

I hope this helps, if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind regards,
Amy.
