Choosing your bed
Getting a good night's sleep is important! As a third of our lives are spent in bed it is essential you make a comfortable choice.
The sleep council recommends you consider changing your mattress after 7 years.
Here's 4 good reasons why:
What size do I need?
Generally speaking bigger is better, a larger bed will be more likely to ensure undisturbed sleep. As a guide your mattress should be at least 10cm longer than the tallest partner. There should also be enough room for you both to lie with your arms under your head and elbows out without touching each other. We have single, double, king and super king sizes available (see our chart for sizes).
Remember to measure to ensure the bed will fit and you have enough space to move around your room.

Divan or Bed Frame
Choosing your bed
With our great range of high quality beds the choice is all yours, we offer many different options including bed frames, divans and adjustable beds.
Divan beds
Made from high-quality wood and upholstered in soft fabric, our divan beds provide robust durability and various comfort levels. They are an affordable option, available in both platform and sprung bases.
Storage?
Many of our divans feature built-in storage options, like drawers, making them an excellent space-saving solution. Our ottoman beds not only provide a cozy sleeping area but also offer fantastic storage. Simply lift the mattress to reveal a spacious compartment, perfect for storing bedding, linens, and more.
Bed frames
Bed frames come in a variety of styles and can be a good choice if you want to add a more decorative touch to your bedroom. Whether you're after a sleek wooden or metal bed frame or dreaming of a luxurious deep-buttoned ottoman storage bed, we’ve got just what you need
If you already have a bed frame in good order, you may only need a mattress.
Try it out
If you are not buying your mattress and bed together it is a good idea to try out a mattress that is on a similar type of base so you can judge its performance. As a mattress and base are designed to work together, some divans may require a certain style of mattress to gain the best support possible. Please talk to our specialists in our store.
Pocket Sprung Mattresses
The springs are housed in individual fabric pockets, allowing them to work independently and provide excellent support. They respond individually to weight and pressure, contouring to your body for personalised comfort. This design also prevents you and your partner from rolling together into the middle of the bed, making it ideal for couples with different sizes.
Memory Foam Mattresses
Memory foam contours to your unique body shape, regardless of your sleeping position. It responds to your body heat, offering exceptional full-body support and pressure relief.
Caring For Your Mattress
Give your mattress a good airing! Since everyone sweats in bed, it’s important to air it out regularly. Simply turn back the covers for a few hours each week to keep it fresh.
We offer a variety of mattress protectors to help care for your mattress and extend its lifespan. Our breathable and waterproof protectors provide a practical barrier, keeping your mattress clean and dry.
If you have a sprung mattress, regular turning may be necessary to prolong its life, so be sure to check the care instructions when you purchase.
