Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need a new Bed?

You need a new bed when your old one is stained, torn, creaking, lumpy or uneven, more than 8 years old, you awake with aches and pains, or the quality of your sleep is affected.

It is however extremely difficult to say how long an individual bed should last for.
This depends on many factors, including the cost and overall quality of the bed, whether it is used in a guest room or as a main bed, and the weight or sleeping habits of the user.

Beds that are more than 8 years old probably do not give the comfort and support that you need to get a good and healthy night’s sleep. Heavy use or misuse may mean you need to change your bed sooner, particularly if you feel any back pain, stiffness or springs protruding from the mattress. You may also need to change your bed if your personal circumstances or health change.

Choosing a Bed

There are different types of beds available to choose from. Please find below examples and descriptions.

Divan Set – A more conventional style of bed that consists of a mattress on a matching upholstered base. The upholstered base can include springs for additional comfort and support and also offers the added benefit of optional integral drawers or ottoman for additional storage when space is at a premium.

Adjustable – An electronically controlled adjustable bed that features 3 fold electric power action to support the neck, back and posterior, thigh and lower leg. This type of bed can be appealing to customers with back problems or other aches and pains. Helps achieve the perfect sleeping position or to assist with getting in and out of bed. Although those with particular medical conditions are well advised to seek medical advice before choosing the best bed for them.

Caring for your new bed

Getting used to your new bed takes time as chances are the springs and upholstery of your old bed were not what they used to be. Please allow time for your body to adjust to your new bed and for the fillings to settle.

Do not bend or roll your mattress, this will damage the spring unit and invalidate your guarantee.

We recommend that you use a mattress protector which will protect it from coming into direct contact with body moisture or other liquids.

Do not use detergent or chemical cleaners on your mattress as it is likely to damage the fabric and stitching.

Turn your mattress regularly unless you have bought a “no need to turn” mattress which has a single sleeping surface e.g. memory foam. It is important that you turn your mattress once every 3 months for the first two or three months and then monthly thereafter. This will prolong the lifespan of your mattress.

If you are putting your mattress onto a bed with slats, we recommend that you put hardboard/plywood or hard cardboard onto the slats to prolong the lifespan of your mattress.
