Buying Your Dream Mattress What better way to unwind than with the soft and supportive feel of a handmade mattress. There’s no need to lose 40 winks over a mattress when you know what to look for From the moment John Harris Heal first introduced London to feather filled mattresses back in 1810, we’ve continued to produce and sell exquisitely designed pieces for the bedroom. Understanding that the quality of our sleep affects the way we feel day to day, we are on hand to help find the right mattress for you. Time For A Change With mattresses put to daily use, it can be difficult to judge when the time is right to look for a new one. On this issue, the Sleep Council recommends that your mattress should be replaced every 7-8 years, with common indicators including: Regularly awaking with back or neck pain Discomfort from springs or ridges in the top of the mattress The mattress creaks or crunches when you move around You and your partner roll towards each other while sleeping
The mattress is visibly uneven or sagging Try Before You Buy While our specialist advice can guide you in finding the right mattress, only you can be the judge when it comes to comfort. When trying out a mattress, follow these golden rules: Timeout: spend 10-15 minutes lying on the mattress you are looking to buy. Double-Up: test mattresses at the same time as your partner to ensure you are both comfortable. Rollover: try lying in different positions – you move 40-60 times a night, so you don’t want your mattress to interrupt your sleep. Laidback: check how the mattress supports the spine by lying face up and placing your hands under the small of your back. Too tight or loose a fit means the mattress is too soft of firm. Touch Base: the mattress will feel different depending on the bed base – e.g. a pocket-sprung divan base will feel softer than a slatted base on a bed frame. It may seem an obvious point to raise, but choosing the right size mattress to fit your bed frame is, nonetheless, an important consideration.
Frame Up: a mattress should neither be loose nor wedged in, but instead fit snug inside the frame of a bed. To ensure a match made in heaven, measure the internal dimensions of your bed frame and compare with those of the mattress prior to purchase. Cold Feet: allow for the mattress to be 10cm longer than the tallest person sleeping in it, and wide enough to sleep two people side by side without touching.All Heal's mattresses conform to the following standard sizes: Single 90 x 190cm (3 x 6') Double 135 x 190cm (4 x 6') King Size 150 x 200cm (5 x 6.5') Super King 182 x 200cm (6 x 6.5') Having made and sold luxury, handmade mattresses for more than 200 years, we only stock those filled with the finest natural materials.

Made from Tempur Visco-elastic, Memory Foam mattresses react to your body heat and conform to your natural shape Cushioning and supporting you in your most relaxed sleeping position, they offer a sense of weightlessness and a great night’s sleep Due to the materials enveloping quality, some can find memory foam too warm, in which case, try a wool duvet and mattress topper to regulate your heat A number of our exsclusive mattresses are available in three tensions referring to the thickness of the wire used to spring the mattress – the thicker the wire, the firmer the feel. Soft: forms around the natural shape of the body, best for those who sleep on their side. Medium: supports specific points of the body, ideal for those who change positions. Firm: extra support aimed at those who tend to sleep on their back. Every Heal's mattress is developed to provide optimum support at medium tension. However, what feels medium to one person may feel firm to someone else.

While memory foam was developed for NASA in the 1970's, it didn't hit the consumer market until the early 1990's - first as memory foam mattress topper pads, and later used in memory foam mattresses. Since then, memory foam mattresses have become the fastest growing segment in the mattress industry. With every year, you see more and more companies selling memory foam mattresses and topper pads, and it is very difficult, even for those of us in the industry, to keep up with all the new memory foam products being introduced.
What is a consumer to do? 1. Brief History Of Memory Foam And Why Not All Memory Foam Created Equal - Some Just More Comfortable And Sleeps Cooler Than Others 2. How To Choose Between Different Memory Foams 3. What To Look For In A Memory Foam Mattress Or Topper, And When You Might Need To Get A New Mattress In this guide, I'm going to do my best to give you the straight story on what memory foam is, how it works, and what to look for in memory foam (density and quality, memory foam toppers versus memory foam mattresses, etc.). Armed with the information, I hope you are able to find just the right memory foam mattress, topper pad, or other product that fits your needs. Where the mattress industry so often sells on hype about latest greatest technology, I wanted to concentrate on actual, verifiable information when putting together this guide. So before we go into the details about memory foam, I thought it was important to first look at the bottom line -- how does memory foam compare to standard innerspring mattresses for comfort.
And what is great about the internet is that these days you can cut through the hype to see the actual data on this -- real reviews, by real folks, trying out the mattresses in their own homes. And while it was hard to get this kind of objective information back in '94 when I was first starting out selling memory foam after it helped me with my back pain, in 2014 all this information is now at your fingertips, literally. While comfort is subjective, what is no longer subjective is that certain types of mattress are just more comfortable than others. And you don't have to take my word for it, or any other mattress retailer. The numbers don't lie. Based on over 22,000 real people's mattress experiences, the meta site Sleep Like the Dead found that in analyzing this information that memory foam mattresses received the highest level of customer satisfaction of any mattress type at 81%. In contrast, only 64% of innerspring owners said they were satisfied. That is a huge difference, and shows the simple reason why memory foam has gained such popularity -- it delivers comfort in a way that far surpasses the standard innerspring mattress.
