Ottoman Base & headboard

Ben asked
11th September 2016

Hi,
I am 6ft 4″ and 14st, I like the Premier Inn beds but after reading your report of them I’m more inclined to buy one of yours. Can you tell me if the Origin’s pocket 1500 will be suitable with an Ottoman base ?
Also I’m curious, could you tell me why headboards in general, are so expensive? I’m not saying yours are any more expensive then anybody else’s just in general they seem really pricey. There can’t be that much engineering and materials in them can there?
Thanks

Hi Ben,

 

Thanks for your question.

 

Our Origins Pocket 1500 mattress is the product that we compare with the Premier Inn Hypnos mattress. The main difference here is that ours doesn’t have the in-built pillowtop layer. We always advise against pillowtops as once that fabric compresses there is nothing that you can do with it.

 

 

You might want to add a separate mattress topper at a later date to closely emulate the sensation of the Premier Inn mattress. By adding a completely detachable mattress topper you’re increasing the lifespan of the mattress as well as introducing an additional comfort layer.

 

That mattress is fine to go on to an Ottoman base – A solid top base will simply give the mattress a slightly firmer feel overall as the spring tension ends up slightly firmed.

 

 

Our headboards are full board headboards, different to those constructed on struts for example so the price reflects the cost of labour, padding and material.

 

I hope this has answered your questions fully but if you do have any further queries please don’t hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419. Our office is open Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm.

 

 

Kind Regards, Lee.
