Our pocket sprung mattresses have the same fillings as the ‘Luxury’ but are offered with a choice of four very high quality springs. Pocket springs have the ability to adapt more readily to different body types, thereby bringing comfort to people with more demanding needs. Another advantage is that only the springs one is lying upon respond to movement, so there is minimal disturbance from a restless partner.

Whilst maintaining high standards we avoid the costly, superfluous embellishments found elsewhere. Expensive ‘premium’ brands may look impressive but they are neither more comfortable or longer lasting.

POCKET SPRUNG

All are approximately 9½” (24 cm) deep. Slimmer mattresses can be made (see below)  

Each contains 3550 grams of recycled wool with a top layer of 1500 grams of blended new white wool and

cotton per sq. metre, on both sides of the springs • All are covered in a 100% cotton, feather proof ‘ticking’  

All components are sourced from trusted suppliers and manufacturers  where quality is valued and carefully monitored.

3) Quality control

1) Natural fillings

2) Superior springs

Durable wool and cotton fillings disperse heat and moisture more effectively than synthetic, man made fibres. They are more costly and require skilled hand work which makes them unsuitable for mass produced, automated production.

Our springs are made in the U.K. by a respected Yorkshire based manufacturer. This has enabled us to provide a service unequalled by High Street stores and web retailers.

4) Egyptian cotton covers

Costly Egyptian cotton ’tickings’ are used throughout. Luxurious, eco-friendly and durable, they promote soothing comfort in contrast to less harmonious, static prone synthetic materials.

5) Wide range and fast service

Our range of eight mattresses in eight standard sizes is designed and to meet most needs. Hard to find UK, Continental and bespoke sizes can be provided in three weeks or less.

6) Constant value

Our prices remain keen and competitive throughout the year. We are always busy during the seasonal sales when people compare our quality and value with what else is on offer.

Last but not Least

• A customer’s lack of knowledge is easily exploited by an industry notorious for its hype, gimmicks and unnecessary embellishment. Scattered handfuls of silk, mohair and cashmere have no discernible value

• Retailers motivated by profit alone frequently lack expertise and are unlikely to have your  interests at heart.

• Poor quality mattresses may feel fine in the showroom, but sooner rather than  later the differences  become apparent.

• Recycled wool is an excellent mattress filling because it is breathable, eco friendly and cost effective. The fact that it is recycled does not detract from the quality of the mattress or the level of comfort derived.

• We never compromise on the essentials but we do avoid unnecessary expenditure. A good mattress must be carefully made with quality components. We are confident that more comfortable, longer lasting mattresses are hard to find at any price.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXProviding they are well made, both types can be chosen with confidence.

Both permit air circulation within the mattress which is essential for freshness and comfort. Of equal, if not greater importance is the quality and quantity of the fillings. Traditional hand made mattresses have become an increasingly rare commodity. Cheaply made pocket sprung mattresses are now widely available and the marketplace is full of mass produced, synthetic mattresses which simply do not compare, despite the efforts of the industry to convince us otherwise.

 Open Coil or Pocket Sprung?

OPEN COIL  

3550 gsm*, and 1500 gsm* is the weight of wool, or wool and cotton per sq. metre.

Our open coil ‘Classic’ and ‘Luxury’ mattresses are both substantial and generously filled and will remain comfortable and refreshingly cool far longer than most. The ‘Luxury’ is similar to the ‘Classic’ but contains layers of blended cotton and wool on both sides.

Returning customers are frequently surprised to find them less costly than they had expected having experienced the quality and longevity of these mattresses, and others who have been influenced by marketing propaganda are genuinely surprised to discover that for many years they have been sleeping very comfortably on an ‘open coil’, rather than a ‘pocket sprung’ mattress.

We produce hand crafted, traditional mattresses using time proven methods and natural components.  

All are designed for comfort and longevity and carry a Ten Year Guarantee.
