Problems with Monsterbeds mattress
Hi, I have spent hours reading your superb website. I’m pretty much at the end of my tether. A year ago we purchased a new sprung slatted bedstead and paired this with a Westminster Chelsea 1500 pocket sprung and memory foam double sided mattress from Monster Beds. We tried the mattress in the showroom for about two minutes and it felt great, as it was the most expensive in the showroom we thought we couldn’t go wrong. How wrong we were!
The mattress has huge dimples in, i seem to toss and turn all the time now, and the heat!
Well that is something else, we have a 4.5 tog quilt, the radiator in our room is off, and still i wake in pools of sweat. I work night shifts and this mattress is having a real detramental effect on my health and well being. I’m 14 stone 5 ft 11″ tall and my wife is 13 stone. I’m seriously thinking of ditching the mattress and buying your Artisan Naturals King size. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards, Mick >
Hi Mick,
Thanks for your question.
It seems a shame to go to further expense without at least trying to remedy what you already have.
I had a quick look at the spec and all I can garner is that it is 2.5cm of memory foam (each side) on top of a 1500 spring unit.
Personally, I cant imagine that this low depth of MF is sufficient enough for an adequate comfort layer.
However, the spec indicates that there is use of a cotton and wool upholstery (unknown weight) but does not indicate whereabouts this is utilised.
I also cannot seem to work out where the heat you describe would be coming from.
The low depth of MF is not enough to retain the body heat as say a 5cm layer – baffling!
So what can you do?
First of all, I would address the comfort properties.
Try a wool topper (such as the Luxury Australian Wool Topper from Duvet and Pillow Warehouse: about £70) this will help to alleviate the heat build up between your body and the mattress.
You will notice the difference this makes and if so, you can improve further by using a further topper such as the Ultimate Microfibre to balance out the dimples in your mattress.
The wool topper should always be used as the sleep surface [Read here about the benefits of toppers] If any of this does not improve on your sleep then do not consider it as an unnecessary expense.
They will always be of use to any new mattress you get in the future.
