Warren Evans natural mattress

Hi Xanthi.

I had a quick look at the Warren Evans Natural and am a bit sceptical about the description you found to be comparable to our model. [Official Description: Nov 2012] 3064 independent springs encased in white calico (king size) • 23cm deep with 2 rows of genuine hand side stitching • Layers of 100% natural fibres • Naturally fire retardant & dust mite resistant – perfect for allergy sufferers For the ultimate in luxury, comfort and ethical craftsmanship!

The Natural mattress is handmade with 20cm deep-pocketed springs, encased in white calico and settled into a unit. The individual springs respond and adapt to your body weight and shape, enhancing comfort and boosting the quality of your sleep. This combination of medium / firm luxurious pocketed springs and sumptuous organic fillers creates a supremely comfortable mattress. The result is a blissful night’s sleep for you and your loved one The first thing I would ask to be clarified is the spring count. 3064 in a Kingsize is not a number that can be used as a single layer.

This is either a double layer unit (nothing wrong with that) or a 1000 pocket unit topped with mini springs (nothing wrong with that) or a suspension unit usually associated with counts around the 3000 mark. If this is so then the calico encasement is called into question. Reading the description it categorically states ” 3064 independent springs encased in white calico “. A reasonable person could draw the conclusion that these springs are ‘individually encased’ in calico OR does it mean that a layer of calico sheeting is used to cover the springs which are ‘individually encased’ in a spunbond (synthetic) material. I would be inclined to question this particular retailer about this as it is not possible to have 3000 springs individually encased in Calico – is there a deception here?

Another element of confusion is the level of upholstery used. Their description states “20cm deep-pocketed springs, encased in white calico and settled into a unit” They give the mattress depth as 23cm which obviously leaves just 3cm for the upholstery. The lack of any associated upholstery weights raises further suspicion as to the overall content and once again I would be inclined to question further. Another element worth questioning is whether this is a one sided or two sided mattress.

The 3cm available space left for the upholstery would give me an inclination that this is a one-sided mattress – it would be ludicrous to think that this mattress has just 1.5cm of upholstery each side – again, more information is required to clarify these shortcomings. The description does state that “sumptuous organic fillers” are used – personally, I cannot see how 3cm of upholstery can be deemed as “Sumptuous”.

Finally Xanthi.

There should be no reason whatsoever for ambiguous statements and if they occur then an explanation should be offered to avoid confusion.
