Feeling the tufts

Duncan asked
2nd November 2016

I have read your article about settlement and the central hump in a pocket sprung mattress with wool etc, interlinings. My problem is when reclining I can feel the lofting buttons on my hips and shoulders. I don’t want to buy at a further £280 (on top of my original £1550 purchase for the Hypnos bed set) a topper pad; however by getting a topper pad would this in your opinion solve the problem I am having or are there any alternatives?

Hi Duncan,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Toppers are primarily used to provide an extra comfort layer and to make a mattress feel softer. In our opinion, a topper may provide a suitable barrier between your body and the tufts, although, without full knowledge of the constructions techniques used with your particular mattress, it cannot be guaranteed. It is unlikely that you will be able to solve this problem in any other way, but have you enquired as to whether Hypnos make a mattress without the tufts, as you may be able to do an exchange rather than purchase a topper.

We trust that this helps, kind regards.

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

I am having same problem with Tufts on Hypnos mattress digging in to hip and back and my foot catches on one too. Is there a solution? I have a thick mattress protector. After 3 months I am ready to send it to tip.

Hi Joan,

Thank you for your comment.

It would appear that you are particularly sensitive to the tufts and the only solution, as you have been using a mattress topper, would be to purchase a mattress that is made of either foam or latex. This is due to the fact that these types of mattresses do not have tufts as they are made of solid materials. We do make latex mattresses and if we can assist you with any of our products, please do not hesitate to call our small friendly team who will be able to provide you with advice and information relating to these products. In order to provide this information though we would need to know the weights and heights and preferred fee of the people who will be sleeping on the mattress.

Regards Julie
