Mattresses Explained
At The Bed Shop we want to make the purchase of your new mattress nice and easy. That's why we've categorised our mattresses into seven different groups and used icons and key facts to help you understand the difference between them. Each type of bed offers different mattress characteristics and levels of support, if a combination of types is right for you, look out for beds that have more than one coloured icon.
 |
Latex |
A premium quality material derived from the sap of the rubber tree. It has a distinctive resilient feel, is very durable and has anti-microbial properties that offer benefits to many allergy sufferers. It has natural elasticity and quickly recovers its shape, allowing for great support and comfort.
 |
Memory Foam |
Memory foam is a relatively new type of material which has a unique feel and slowly responds to your body temperature and weight. It slowly recovers its original shape when the heat and pressure is removed. A unique combination of support and comfort, with good pressure relieving properties.
 |
Open Coil |
The seperate springs are arranged in rows and connected to one another by a spiral wire. An outer rod strengthens the edge of the mattress. Some higher quality mattresses will use a continual spring system, made from one piece of wire shaped into a series of springs. A popular choice that provides good support.
 |
Pocket Sprung |
Each spring is housed in its own individual fabric pocket. This enables the springs to work independently of one another, offering unique support to the body shape and preventing pressure points. Memory foam and pocket springs work well together to create a luxurious sleeping experience with the highest level of support.
