Memory foam mattresses – Possibly the most developed form of bedding material, now completely unlike the original memory foams. This is ideal for those who want excellent support, enveloping the body. Foam can be produced in various densities to create different firmness levels.
Pillow top mattresses – Ideal for those who want support but with a luxurious sleeping surface. A Pillow Top mattress will also be non-turnable, and so it is easy to care for. The feeling of a Pillow Top mattress has been described as ‘like sleeping on a great mattress, on top of a great, luxurious duvet’
Latex mattresses – A natural foam, derived from a rubber plant. This is completely natural and moulds to the body’s contours without requiring heat to soften. Extremely durable, and if looked after, a latex mattress could last more than 20 years.
Coil mattresses - The traditional, original spring unit used in mattresses. Extremely durable; Open Coil springs are like a mesh of springs, sharing the body’s weight across the entire mattress for good support at a great price.
