Why should you choose this mattress?
If you're furnishing a rental property, guest house or similar setting, a contract mattress like the Durham is designed with that market in mind, and an affordable starting price keeps costs manageable when you're buying for more than one room. The five-size range, covering Small Single through to King, means you can kit out mixed room types from a single model, which keeps things simple. The limited published detail on materials and feel makes this harder to recommend for a personal bed where comfort preferences matter, but for landlords and buyers prioritising practicality and price, it's a straightforward option.
Key features & layer details
Outer cover
A polyester/viscose fabric with a deep quilted finish that holds the cover to the layers beneath. It's a durable, fully upholstered surface, which suits a mattress that will see regular use.
White fibre fillings
A lightweight, high-loft fibre that keeps its shape. It gives the surface a soft-to-medium cushioning without the weight of a dense foam.
Bonnell open coil spring core
A 13.5-gauge bonnell open coil system, with rows of springs running head to toe, joined by helical wire and edged with 6-gauge rod-edge wire. This gives a traditional springy support, and the wire edge helps the sides keep their shape. The mattress is double-sided, so you can flip and rotate it.

Best suited for?
Holiday lets and hotels
Designed as a contract mattress for rental properties and guest houses, it suits hospitality settings where you need to furnish several rooms with one model.
Budget buyers
An affordable starting price keeps costs manageable, which helps when you are buying for more than one room at once.
Guest rooms
The contract design and five-size range, from Small Single to King, make it simple to fit out spare rooms of different sizes.
If you're buying for your own bedroom and want to know exactly how a mattress will feel, this one is hard to judge: no firmness rating or construction detail is published. Buyers who want a home trial or a stated guarantee should also look elsewhere, as neither is listed.
Save on an earlier or ex-display model
Some retailers still sell the earlier version of this mattress, or ex-display and returned stock at a lower price. These are the sizes where it costs less than the current model's best price.
