Description

If you’re looking for a supportive but soft mattress, the Chenille Pocket Sprung mattress could be the answer. This mattress has many great qualities, including the 1200 pocket springs (in a king-size mattress) that move individually and move with the contours of your body, which helps with the alignment of your spine. This mattress has medium tension, a soft knitted cover and rod edging to prevent sagging of the mattress.This mattress also comes with a 5 year warranty.

Natural fillings

For extra comfort and softness, this mattress has cotton fillings with natural temperature regulating qualities. Alongside this, it has great absorption abilities, which can wick away moisture as you sleep, meaning you won’t get as hot. This mattress also has air vents which give it even more breathability.

About British Bed Company

With over ten years of trading under its belt, the British Bed Company really has expanded upon what it started in 2012. The brand offers dozens of different mattresses for retail, contract and even customisable mattresses. British manufacturing is at the core of what they do; sourcing materials from suppliers in the UK and producing them here too.

Will a medium tension be right for me?

Whilst choosing a mattress comes down to preference half the time, the other half is down to what your body type and preferred sleeping position are best designed for. Whilst soft mattresses are designed for light statures and side sleepers, firmer mattresses are best for heavier statures and back sleepers. These tensions promote healthy spine alignment for each of these sleeping positions, as well as even weight distribution. A medium-tension mattress accommodates both of these positions, meaning they are best for people who change their positions frequently throughout the night.

Are medium mattresses good for two people?

As the tension in the springs of a medium mattress isn't as rigid as firmer options, it's said that couples who are both of light statures can share a medium mattress. Having said this, there's still a risk of over-straining the springs which can cause sagging quicker. If you're a light/average weight and sleep by yourself, a medium mattress can work well for you. Overall, it's down to your preferred kind of tension but it should be noted that this is still on the softer end of our spectrum.

What makes a good medium mattress?

Whether it's soft, firm or medium, you want your mattress to last no matter what tension it is. If the tension gets firmer or softer over a short period, the quality of the mattress is poorer. The British Bed Company ensure they produce mattresses of quality that will stand the test of time, so despite the spring tension being lower in this mattress, it will last just as long as a firmer one. This can be corroborated by the 5 year warranty that the British Bed Company supplies with this mattress.

Excellent. Easy to complete ( glides ), fix headboards, nice quality, really good height so nice and easy to get in and out of bed. We bought two and made a Super-king with partner and I choosing different mattresses. Absolutely perfect, should have done years ago. Had to wait about three weeks, whilst Mattressman had to wait for one item to complete the order, but well worth it. Delivery service also top notch, on time, paid only £20 extra which got us two people who took the two bases, two headboards, and two mattresses exactly to the spot I asked. These mattresses are British made and are so comfy, you don't want to get out of bed!

It was great to find a company that makes bespoke size mattresses at a reasonable price, rather than the extra 40% that most other companies charge. We are really pleased with the mattress and it feels very comfortable. It was well worth paying the extra charge for delivery and disposal of our old mattress. The guys gave us a two hour time slot for delivery and were right on time. Would highly recommend.

It’s everything l was looking for, a couple of years ago whilst on holiday l slept on a mattress that became my gold standard,l doubted that would find one so right for me again but here it is, not overly soft ,supportive without being too firm it just gives me a little bit of luxury every night. I’m sure it’s all down to the pocket springs and the skill with which it’s put together.The dog loves it too.

Very supported and just the right balance being medium, personally I can't actually feel the mattress as it's like being weightless. I also wanted a British brand and without using chemical fillings.

Absolutely perfect for me. I suffer with a bad back and for many years had a Reylon mattress, I couldn't afford to replace that so this was suggested as an alternative....very very very happy.
