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
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.
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
Springs are housed in separate fabric pockets, these work independently to provide great support for your body as the springs respond individually to weight and pressure, adjusting to your body's contours. Prevents you and your partner rolling together into the middle of the bed, perfect if there is a size difference between you.
Memory Foam Mattresses
Moulds to your individual body shape whatever your sleeping position, responding to the heat of your body, memory foam provides great full body support and pressure relief.
