Mattress Types

Orthopaedic

Orthopaedic mattresses are designed to contour your body to minimise pressure points and allow a balanced support across your body to prevent aches and pains. Usually much firmer than other mattresses orthopaedic mattresses are perfect for those people who need that extra support whilst sleeping.

Pocket Spring

Pocket sprung mattresses are manufactured with a clever movement-isolating system of individually nested pocket springs, which encases each spring in cushioned fabric for consistent support. Pocket sprung mattresses also offer superior support of spinal alignment, providing a more luxurious feel. These springs work independently from each other which means that it minimises roll together and disturbances when two people share a bed and one is a restless sleeper.

 

Open Coil Spring

Sometimes called traditional spring or bonnell spring, open coil spring mattresses are manufactured using a series of connected springs, and usually come with a rod edge border for additional structural support. This spring system is then sandwiched between a series of foam and fabric layers creating a comfortable sleep surface.

 

Memory Foam

Memory foam mattresses are crafted from temperature-sensitive foam that adjusts to the sleeper’s body, which helps relieve pressure points. Memory foam mattresses are usually denser than other foam mattresses and retain heat for extra comfort.
