About our Mattresses

Yes! There are two main reasons we recommend you always buy the biggest bed that will fit your room.

Firstly: The more space you have, the less disturbed you will be when your partner moves. The more room you have to turn and settle without disturbing your partner, the better!

Secondly: Temperature control. When you slip into deep sleep your body temperature cools – this is essential for the deep sleep cycle. The smaller the bed, the closer you will sleep to your partner and therefore more heat will be generated. Heat has a devastating effect on sleep, so when it’s time to sleep you need to be able to move into your own half to let your body cool and not be affected by your partner’s body heat.

The myth that firmer beds are better for a good night’s sleep is not true. A softer bed can still provide the correct support for your back whilst avoiding the pins and needles and discomfort caused by a bed that is too hard.

Turning a mattress allows the upholstery fillings to settle evenly across the mattress surface. The frequency with which you turn your mattress depends on the weight of the users sleeping on them. We would recommend turning your mattress every few months to retain the best quality and comfort, and prolong the lifespan of your bed.

Sometimes the feel of a new bed is so different to what you have been used to, that you may question your selection and feel that you have made a mistake. A new bed from the Simon Horn and Marshall & Stewart range will give you luxurious support that you may not have experienced before – this does not mean that it is faulty or wrong for you, it just means it’s different to what you are familiar with. Take a few weeks to get used to it, trust the feel and try to retrain your body to sleep in the correct posture.

A new bed will not cure a medical problem; the aim is not to aggravate the problem. Often with pain the muscles tense and the pain remains constant. A mattress with a superior spring system and a softer top surface allows for a gentle support – the body sinks into the mattress enabling the muscles to relax and for the pain ease. We would advise you to always seek professional advice if you suffer from back pain. Our team of bed experts are on hand to help you choose the correct bed to give you the best comfort and support for the perfect night’s sleep.

Your bed must support your body and just as importantly it has to support your sleep cycle. Our team is on hand to help you choose the correct bed to give you the best comfort and support for the perfect night’s sleep.

It would depend on the type of divan you have been using. Mattress and divans are made as a unit that complement each other. If an old mattress has dipped and sagged, then there’s a good chance the base is damaged. A new mattress will follow the contours of an old base which will significantly increase the wear on the new mattress.

Natural settlement is a feature of high quality pocket-sprung mattresses and is caused by the natural fibres adjusting to you sleeping on them. We recommend turning your mattress regularly to ensure the settlement remains even across your mattress.
