The benefits of linen Linen provides superbly resilient comfort with the additional benefit of improving moisture management within the mattress helping to keep your sleep surface clean, fresh and dry. Additional fillings Cotton is added to the comfort layer alongside the linen to provide softness and durability. It is also highly absorbent which means it is good at wicking moisture away from the body and reducing temperature through evaporation, creating a hygienic sleeping environment. A separate layer of cotton and wool offers warmth and natural springiness whilst helping to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi and dust mites. Naturally strong and comfortable hemp fibres are blended with wool to create an insulating under layer between the spring system and the comfort layers.
All the layers are held together with two rows of hand side stitching, and hand tufted with cotton felt washers for even greater levels of durability. Revolution® pocket spring system Enjoy the enhanced comfort levels of this spring within a spring system for your most supportive night's sleep yet. Providing a medium to firm tension for all shapes and sizes of the human body, it boasts a two stage action. The larger outer spring offers a high degree of comfort as it yields to the body, while the inner spring gives a precise, highly supportive second action. As your body sinks into the mattress the inner spring is engaged delivering extra support when and where you need it. High density springs Combined with the ultra-supportive Revolution pocket spring, Airtanium HD springs help keep a healthy flow of air moving through the mattress. They also distribute your weight correctly to reduce the build-up of pressure. Produced in a blanket sheet format, the springs are able to move up, down and side to side, as well as pivoting.
This allows the surface of the spring to contour with the exact shape of your body. Environmentally sound The John Lewis Natural collection has been designed to be recyclable at the end of its life by using natural upholstery fillings. Even the steel used in the patented pocket spring system is 100% recyclable. Our manufacturers, Spink & Edgar are the only bed makers in the world with a farm where they raise sheep for wool and grow luxury fibres for use as fillings in their mattresses. Using locally grown fibres, crops and wool lessens the impact on the environment by dramatically reducing CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions.Alternative mattress tensions are available in store.

A high-quality basic is 200TC made from single-ply Egyptian cotton. This combination provides a good standard of durability and softness. You can also have sheets that are 400, 800 and 1,000TC. Does a higher thread count always mean better quality? In some cases you’ll want a relatively low thread count, such as with flannelette sheets, which are more loosely woven to produce the desired softness. The type of thread used would become too stiff if woven very tightly. Some experts believe the difference between 350 and 700-thread is barely noticeable, but according to Fiona Caulfield, the buyer for bedlinens at John Lewis, 'There is definitely a trend for people wanting a higher thread-count bedlinen. We have pima [a high-quality cotton often used in shirt-making] 800TC, and it is incredibly popular. The thing to remember with high thread-count bedlinen is that you do have to put a bit more time and effort into keeping it looking beautiful.
Be prepared to iron it rather than putting it straight on to the bed from the drier or the clothes line.’ It isn’t just about the numbers, though, is it? You also need to think about the weave. An Oxford weave is a bit like basket weave (and often used for making high-quality men’s shirts) while percale has had the shorter, rougher fibres combed out to make it smooth and crisp. Sateen (not to be mistaken for satin) has a slightly lustrous finish as it is woven from finer threads; it is typically 300TC or higher and can be slightly less hard-wearing than percale. Jacquard is woven to create a matt and sateen self-pattern on the fabric and feels soft like sateen rather than crisp like percale. Flannelette is made from spun yarn brushed on both sides after weaving, creating texture and holding in warmth. 'A lot of people use a flannelette sheet as a mattress protector under their cotton fitted sheet so they have the feel of the crisp cotton against the skin, but the warmth of flannelette underneath,’ Caulfield says.
Being a natural fibre, it is cool in summer, warm in winter, naturally hypo-allergenic and incredibly smooth and comfortable to sleep in. Caulfield is enthusiastic about the health and beauty aspects. 'Unlike cotton, which is used to help wick away moisture from the body, silk helps to retain moisture in your skin and hair. Nourished skin minimises wrinkles and the smooth non-drying surface helps prevent bed head frizz and static. I swear by it.’ Any tips for linen care? Always use colour-care detergents to help preserve dyed textiles and to ensure that white sheets remain white. Sheets can be washed at lower temperatures of 30 or 40 degrees, which will also help protect colour. When it comes to mattress covers and pillow protectors, though, buy those that are designed to withstand wash temperatures of 60 degrees, which is high enough to kill all dust mites and their eggs. Try ironing them while still slightly damp, because it is much easier to remove creases. Buyers' guide to mattresses What are the options?
There are three main mattress types: 'open sprung’ is generally the cheapest option and features coil springs that are linked together into one sheet of mesh. The edges have either a rod or wire border to firm up the structure and help prevent you rolling off the side of the bed, or rolling towards the middle if you’re sharing it with someone. Pocket spring mattress comprise individual springs that are encased in separate fabric pockets. It means they work independently to respond to pressure and are also ideal for couples with large differences in body weight. Memory foam mattresses mould and re-mould to the body’s contours as they soften to the body’s heat. Body weight is absorbed rather than resisted and pressure on joints on the spine is reduced. Any numbers worth knowing? Check for coil count of the mattress to get an idea of the amount of support it offers. The more coils, the better the bed will conform to your body. The number is based On a 150cm king size mattress: those with pocket springs can range from 600 nearly 8000, when you start getting layers of coils and springs within springs for extra support.
How I know what’s right for me? Try it out by lying down in your normal sleeping position and turning. If you’re sharing the bed, it’s vital that both of you try it out this way together – don’t be shy! According to the Sleep Council, a non-profit organization that promotes the importance of a good night’s sleep, most of us aren’t sleeping in big enough beds. A standard 4ft 6in wide double is not room enough for two adults to sleep comfortably together without disturbing each other. The next size up is a king which is 5ft wide. A mattress should measure at least six inches longer than the tallest person sleeping on it. How often should I turn my mattress? Body weight compresses a mattress, leading to dips and ultimately an uneven sleeping surface. Jen Lammas, assistant buyer for mattresses, recommends that 'when you first buy your mattress you should turn it every couple of weeks or every month while it settles in and adapts to your body. Then, turn it with the seasons’.
