At 32cm deep, the Boutique 4000 is a substantial mattress, filled with chemical-free cotton and Hampshire wool, which means it breathes well and should suit sleepers who run warm. The king size contains 4,000 individually pocketed springs, so each spring moves on its own and you feel less of your partner's movement. It doesn't need turning, and it comes with a 20-year guarantee, longer than most brands offer. Delivery takes up to 5 weeks, which is a wait, though that's the trade-off with a handmade mattress.

Why should you choose this mattress?
This mattress makes sense if you want traditional, natural materials rather than foam. The fillings are chemical-free cotton and Hampshire wool, which means better temperature regulation than synthetic layers, a real plus if you're a hot sleeper. The medium firmness suits most sleepers, although those who prefer a very firm surface may want to look elsewhere. A 20-year guarantee shows genuine confidence in the build, and there's no turning required, so upkeep is minimal. Yes, you'll wait up to 5 weeks for delivery and the paid Premium Delivery Service adds to the cost, but for a handmade pocket spring mattress with a mid-range starting price, the value holds up well.
Key features & layer details
Cover
A chemical-free polyester and viscose cover. Viscose is a soft, breathable fibre, which means the sleeping surface feels smooth and doesn't trap heat.
Fillings
Chemical-free cotton and Hampshire wool fillings. Wool naturally wicks moisture and regulates temperature, so you stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Springs
4,000 individually pocketed springs in the king size. Each spring responds independently to pressure, which means better contouring to your shape and less disturbance from a partner moving about.

Best suited for?
Warm sleepers
Chemical-free cotton and Hampshire wool fillings regulate temperature and wick moisture, which means you should stay cooler in summer without the heat trapped by synthetic layers.
Couples
Each of the 4,000 individually pocketed springs in the king size moves on its own, which means you feel less of your partner's movement.
Eco-conscious buyers
Natural cotton and Hampshire wool fillings with a chemical-free cover suit anyone wanting traditional materials rather than foam in their bed.
Combination sleepers
Medium firmness and independently responding springs give a responsive, less cradling feel, which means changing position through the night should feel easy rather than sinking in.
Side sleepers
Pocket springs that respond independently to pressure contour to your shape, and the medium tension gives shoulders and hips some welcome give.
If you prefer a distinctly firm or soft feel, this medium tension may not suit you. It's also not the one if you need a mattress quickly, as delivery takes up to 5 weeks. And if you prefer memory foam, this might not be the best choice: it's a traditional spring and natural-fibre build with a more responsive, less cradling feel.
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.

FAQ's
How firm is the Boutique 4000 mattress?
It's a medium firmness. That suits most sleepers, particularly back and side sleepers of average build, although lightweight side sleepers might find it slightly firmer than expected, and heavier stomach sleepers may want something firmer.
Does the Boutique 4000 need turning?
No, it doesn't require turning, which makes it easier to live with. It's also not a pillow top design.
How long is the guarantee on the Boutique 4000?
The Handmade Bed Company backs it with a 20-year guarantee, which is longer than most brands offer and suggests real confidence in the construction.
How many springs does the Boutique 4000 have?
The king size contains 4,000 individually pocketed springs. Each spring is sewn into its own fabric pocket and moves independently, so the mattress contours to your body and limits motion transfer between partners.
How long does delivery take for the Boutique 4000?
Delivery is within 5 weeks, and there's a paid Premium Delivery Service for mattresses. It's a wait, but that's fairly typical for a handmade product.
