Frequently asked questions

What firmness of mattress should I choose?
Side sleepers often prefer softer to medium for shoulder and hip relief, while back and front sleepers and heavier people usually suit firmer support. Position and weight both matter.
How long should a mattress last?
Many mattresses are expected to give good support for around seven to ten years, though this depends on the materials, build quality, and how it is used.
Do mattresses come with a trial period?
Many UK retailers offer a sleep trial of several weeks or months so you can return the mattress if it does not suit you. Check the specific terms.
