3 Reasons Why our Mattresses Have an Edge Over the Competition

Posted on by john-paul

Do you remember the first time you tried to assemble some flat pack furniture?

Side A1 goes into Rivet B15 which matches diagonally with Screw 75ZE which is placed underneath ZXQ81A and – crikey, how are you supposed to figure all this out?!!!!??

Before you know it, you’ve got a half assembled wardrobe that’s ready to collapse any minute under the weight of your ineptitude.

Now let’s imagine you’ve just purchased a bespoke wardrobe, one crafted with love and care by time-taught professionals.

A delivery driver appears at your door with a perfect piece of mahogany or beech wood and voila – you’ve got a perfect wardrobe, without any fuss.

Our bespoke approach to mattresses is a lot like that voila moment.

Before you make your selection, we ensure that you won’t be disappointed by your purchase.

We do this by making sure that you select a mattress that’s ideally fitted to the way you sleep.

Our ethos is that you shouldn’t purchase a mattress until you lie down on it at least once, because everyone sleeps differently.

This isn’t an ideology that’s shared by many of our competitors. Many of them are more like that fusty flat pack furniture, believing that one size fits all and making the customer do all the leg work.

It’s not the only edge we have over our competition. Here are a few of other way you’ll enjoy a little bit of WOW when you purchase from us.

Advice on your posture

When you visit our store, you won’t walk away with any old mattress. Working alongside you, we’ll discuss how you sleep, and how your posture will be altered or maintained by the various products we stock.

Our expert advice will make sure that the mattress you choose will help you maintain good posture, supporting and contouring your body to keep it comfortable.

You can rest on any mattress, sure, but a mattress from us is award-winning – making it much easier to enjoy a good night’s sleep.

Accredited by the National Bed Foundation, all the brands we stock are rigorously tested to ensure your 40 winks aren’t compromised.

Whether you choose a Harrison, a Mammoth or a Highgrove, these mattresses contain spring technology designed to improve your posture AND your comfort.

Long-lasting support

Good service doesn’t finish at the shop door.

It continues from the free delivery and installation of your product to the customer support you receive once the mattress is resting comfortably in your home.

That’s why we offer a 10-year manufacturer warranty as standard with our mattresses, to ensure you remain satisfied throughout the thousands of sleeps you’ll be having on your new bed.

These are only a few of the reasons why we have an edge over our competition – if you want to experience them for yourself, then get in touch or pay us a visit.

The Importance of Having the Right Base for your Mattress

Posted on by john-paul

You’ve purchased the ideal mattress from our collection, knowing that it can provide you with an excellent night’s rest.

So that’s job done, right?

Not quite. While having the right mattress can provide you with a solid 40 winks, sticking with the same old base could leave your comfort less than optimal.

The reasons for this are simple.

Think of your bed as being similar to a house. The quilt covers are your insulation, the mattress is your comfort and the base is the foundation which keeps the operation ticking over effectively.

Because of this, there are a few tell-tale signs that your bed base needs replacing. Here are three:

1. Your bed base is sagging – if your bed base sags then so will your mattress, putting you at risk of a bad back.

2. If you’ve bought a new mattress – chances are your base and mattress won’t get along if one’s new and the other’s old. Technology moves on in bedding, so an incompatible base and mattress won’t give you perfect comfort.

3. The construction is sub-par – some bed bases were simply made cheaply, and as such won’t last as long as you might like. Buy one that’s a high quality and it’ll stand the test of time.

The relationship between a mattress and a base should be harmonious, both working as a team to make sure you’re extra comfy, which is why we’ve made sure that every base we stock is primed to ensure back support and flexible comfort.

Our True Edge Base is an ideal example. It’s specially designed to be durable, taking the brunt of the impact when you flop onto your bed after a long hard day.

Its supportive timber border complements pocket sprung base, provide you with a little leverage when you get in and out of bed. Adding to this convenience are drawers in the base, giving you extra storage room.

This is just one example of a base that works perfectly in tandem with a mattress, but we think it’s a particularly good one.

Posted on by john-paul

bed show 2017

The annual NBF (National Bed Federation) Bed Show is the hottest ticket in sleep technology.

And Sleep Matters were first in the queue — so we can give you the scoop on the latest products that‘ll improve your 40 winks.

The excitement of the eighth instalment at the Telford International Centre on 19th-20th September 2017 exceeded our expectations.

It’s hard to pick highlights in a show ram packed with quality, but here are a few.

High standards

Trade exhibitors at The Bed Show are always of the highest standard because they’ve got to be registered with the NBF.

The Sleep Matters team tried out lots of beds with this seal of approval, but these manufacturers(which we also stock) impressed us the most:

Highgrove Beds Group — displaying a huge collection of brand new designs and innovation. Highgrove has rapidly become the fasting growing manufacturer in the bed business, their cutting-edge manufacturing process has introduced Ergosense foam for great comfort and pressure relief that is completely heat free taking sleep technology to the next level.

Harrison Beds — this year’s runner-up in the Bed Manufacturer of the Year category continues to impress. 100 years of tradition and craftsmanship are channelled into every Harrison product. And it shows — their beds and mattresses are custom-built for each customer and feature the revolution spring system and all-natural fillings homegrown on Harrisons unique farm in the north of Yorkshire.

Mammoth — medical grade foam, pressure relief and temperature control combine to place these beds at the bleeding edge of sleep technology. Recommended by the national institute of health, endorsed by the Chiropractors Patients Association, The Chartered society of Physiotherapy and adopted by many of the country’s leading Olympic and Paralympic athletes. Mammoth’s posture cell technology continues to revolutionize the bed world.

 

Future innovations

NBF judges awarded gongs to several firms who have introduced trailblazing technology that will allow you to sleep more soundly than ever.

John Cotton Group won Bed Component Supplier of the year for launching the UK’s first foam free Monobloc mattress core for cots and becoming the first UK bedding company to achieve ISO/ts16949 certification.

Rawson Fillings was highly commended for securing a deal to manufacture a new filling material made from recyclable resin that’s easy to clean and eco-friendly.

The year ahead

Busy, vibrant and informative, we took a grab bag of tips from the show to help us stay ahead of the curve and provide premium products that will help you snooze serenely.

If this year’s show is anything to go by, The Bed Show 2018 should be a sleep-technology spectacular.
