Why should you choose this mattress?
This is a firm, traditional pocket spring mattress built for hospitality use and also found in family homes. Each small-diameter spring sits in its own cloth sleeve, and a thick wire border runs round the edge of the spring system. The 100% cotton cover is hand tufted to hold the fillings in place. It is double sided, so you can flip and rotate it, which helps wear spread more evenly. If you like a firm bed, you'll feel at home here, although if you like a soft, sink-in surface it is likely to feel too hard. It comes with a 10-year warranty, made up of a 1-year guarantee plus 9 years of manufacturing warranty.
Key features & layer details
Striped cotton cover
A classic striped 100% cotton cover, hand tufted to secure the fillings underneath. Cotton is a natural fabric, and the tufting helps keep the fillings from shifting.
White fibre fillings
A lightweight, high loft fibre that retains its shape. It gives the surface some cushioning over the springs and should keep its loft over time.
Pocket spring interior
Small diameter pocket springs, each housed in its own cloth sleeve. Because each coil works on its own, the springs can respond individually to your body, and this layer provides the firm support.
Wire edge border
A thick wire surrounds the perimeter of the spring system. It helps the edges keep their shape, which should make sitting on the side of the bed feel more stable.

Hard to say with confidence, as we don't hold construction or firmness details for this model. If you need to know exactly how a mattress will feel before buying, this one asks a little more homework of you: check the retailer's full listing before committing.

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.
