Testing team takeaways

To test the Flaxby Masters Guild 14950 Pocket Sprung Mattress we have people from our testing team take a closer look at the mattress and form their own opinions. Below is their observations.

Having the opportunity to test the Flaxby Masters Guild 14950 Pocket Sprung Mattress was a delightful experience for me as a side sleeper with a relatively lighter weight. The mattress's plush micro springs and layers of traditional materials like British wool, hemp, and cotton provided a supportive yet comfortably soft cradle for my body. As I settled into the soft version, I found that the mattress uniquely catered to the contours of my side-sleeping position, offering excellent pressure relief around my shoulders and hips without overwhelming firmness.

During the weeks-long trial, I particularly appreciated the mattress's ability to regulate temperature. The blend of natural materials, renowned for their breathability, kept me comfortably cool, even when testing it in warmer conditions. The sumptuous pillow top added an extra layer of cozy plushness, which I found rather exceptional. While the mattress is quite heavy and requires regular rotation, which might be a challenge for some, the promise of enhanced durability was reassuring. This mattress catered wonderfully to my needs, contributing to a genuinely restful and refreshing sleep experience, reaffirming its worthiness as a premium choice for side sleepers like myself.

What our reviewers found

Comfort and quality cannot be underestimated. One essential factor of achieving rejuvenating sleep is finding the right mattress. With numerous options to choose from, the process can be daunting. Here, we explore the Flaxby Masters Guild 14950 Pocket Sprung Mattress, a high-end mattress designed to provide a luxurious sleeping experience. This mattress combines the comfort of plush micro springs with the durability of traditional materials such as British wool, hemp, flax, cotton, and mohair.

How we tested

The mattress was subjected to a series of tests over several weeks. Factors considered included its comfort, adaptability to body contours, ease of movement, and durability. To evaluate its temperature regulation abilities, it was tested in varying climate conditions. We also assessed the convenience of the mattress based on its weight, ease of rotation, and its practicality for regular use.

Design and Features

The Flaxby Masters Guild 14950 is a blend of traditional craftsmanship meets innovation providing a comfortable and supportive experience. It consists of layers of micro springs that react to your body's movements and contours, offering enhanced pressure relief and excellent comfort. The mattress features a sumptuous pillow top adding extra padding. Flaxby has included a variety of traditional materials including British wool, hemp, flax, cotton and mohair into the mattress fillings that ensure breathability and moisture-wicking properties. This mix of materials is designed to ensure a comfortable sleeping temperature regardless of the weather. No glue is used in the assembly of this mattress, and it features 100% recyclable Cortec™ springs, making it an eco-friendly choice for those environmentally conscious. The Flaxby Masters Guild 14950 reinforces its durability with three rows of side stitching, which increase edge-to-edge support, and is traditionally tufted to enhance the mattress's lifespan. The mattress offers a soft or medium comfort grade option, catering to varying preferences between individuals.

Flaxby Masters Guild 14950 Pocket Sprung Mattress

Mattress Comfort

The Flaxby Masters Guild 14950 elevates comfort to a luxurious level with its well-structured design. Despite its firm supportive structure, the mattress gives a comfortable, soft feeling due to the pillow top feature. The micro springs and layers of natural fillings ensure that the mattress provides support where needed most. As a result, the mattress provides a well-balanced combination of firm support and soft comfort.

Suitability

This mattress is suitable for side sleepers and those with a lower BMI than average due to its soft tension option. It's also an excellent choice for people with an hourglass figure as it provides additional sinkage from the support layer. However, the mattress does require regular rotation due to its single-sided nature, which may pose a challenge due to its considerable weight. So, individuals with back or joint issues may find it difficult to manoeuvre. However, its 5-year guarantee and 100-Night Comfort Exchange policy offer reassurance if the mattress does not suit you.

What Customers Thought

The customer feedback on the Flaxby Masters Guild 14950 is generally positive. Many customers appreciate the mattress's comfort, with several stating that it has greatly improved their sleep quality. Those suffering from back issues reported an improvement in their condition, attributing it to the mattress's support. Although most customers found the mattress comfortable on arrival, some noted that the mattress took a few weeks to break in thoroughly. It appears that the mattress becomes more comfortable over time, conforming more effectively to the individual's body contours. However, a few customers have pointed out that the mattress tends to sag in certain areas over time, despite following the manufacturer's care instructions. A few also noticed a significant dip in the middle of the mattress, especially for the zip and link option.

    ★★★★★
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.

    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.

The worst mattress ever. I am highly disappointed as I have been dealing with severe back pain since using this mattress. Now reading reviews I can say its actually this horrible mattress. This was the mattress I was suggested to buy when using the machine at Dream and I feel this should stop as this is really causing severe back pains to people and I can nearly stand up straight, this is how bad this is. I need a solution to this horrible buy Dreams has sold me. This is not a cheap mattress to now be expressing this sort of back pain. Before anyone from Dreams says I need to it to mould to my back I bought it in 2022 and didnt start using it till 2023. So I have had enough time to conclude this is affecting my back. Imagine having to go and be sleeping on my couch. This mattress should be discontinued and you are misleading people.

We purchased this mattress in April 2021 and complained about the quality and the fact both of us were having back pain. They sent someone out in January 2022 who tested it for 5 mins and said all was fine - how can they prove in this time the mattress has no problems. 3 years later I have submitted a claim under the extended warranty as we both struggle to move when we get up. Again they are sending someone out but we are in such severe pain Im unable to use it any longer. THIS MATTRESS IS NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE it should be discontinued. We are so unhappy as its an expensive mattress and Dreams just dont want to acknowledge there is a problem. Im just going to have to get rid of it.

3 weeks in and its the most comfortable thing weve ever slept in. Literally cant wait to climb the stairs to bed at night. Super king, pocket sprung, medium softness with built in topper. Temperature regulated using natural fibres. It is proving to be well worth the investment. Ive been poorly for a week so have spent most of that time in it and for once havent experienced any aching back or stiff limbs - not fun, but a good way to test it! Were pleased as punch.

We bought the back to nature super king as we always buy a quality bed and this seemed to be a good choice,then a few weeks before delivery we where informed that they had redesigned the mattress and had to wait an extra eight weeks. One word of notice these are the heaviest mattress I have ever come across and you need to sting people to move it.

Ultimate comfort. It took a few nights to get used to my new bed and its the best thing since sliced bread! Extremely comfortable, supportive and luxurious. Its quite deep so had to buy some extra deep fitted sheets. My only concern is how it will feel in the summer as its quite a warm bed.

We purchased the Flaxby 14450 pillow top mattress from Dreams after trying out the range of Flaxby mattresses in store. We opted for the Superking size with the split medium/soft support and the zipped option (essentially two singles joined together). I prefer the medium support whereas my partner likes the softer feel. Bear in mind, these are heavy mattresses and having the split mattress option makes it far easier to turn them, which you will need to do weekly for the first 3 months (then monthly thereafter). It has taken a long time for the mattress to fully bed in and feel comfortable to sleep on. If you're considering this mattress, be prepared for a full 6-8 weeks break in period to allow the materials to loosen up and conform to your body. When new, it felt very stiff with the sensation you're lying on top of the mattress, with not much give and with minimal support. My partner quickly got used to sleeping on her softer mattress, whereas with my medium feel mattress, I experienced lower back pain on and off for the first 4-5 weeks. The Dreams staff advised that the Flaxby mattresses do take a while to break in and conform to your body. Here's some tips that have worked well for us and are worth considering: Mattress support - this mattress really does deserve a quality bed base, preferably a pocket spring divan base. We initially used our old Superking bed frame with sprung slats. However, although the 14450 mattress is a deep mattress and should in theory work well on any bed base, we found that it not gel that well with the sprung slats, as the mattress tended to sag slightly. We have now switched to a sprung divan base and it's made a big difference to the feel, comfort and support of the mattress. Pillows - we initially used our Tempur cloud pillows with the Flaxby but we have since switched to Levitex sleep posture pillows (we opted for the small size). This has made a world of difference - no more neck and back pain! Duvets - we've always liked having our own single duvets rather than sharing a larger duvet so we can better control our body temperatures. My partner uses a weighted duvet whereas I switched to a wool filled duvet. The Flaxby mattresses do offer better temperature control compared to our old Tempur mattress. It is still worth investing in a quality duvet to really get the best sleeping experience.

I have had this mattress for about 5 months now and how miserable I am. I suffer from back ache and have had operations on both shoulders. So my husband and I decided we need a new mattress that was softer and less painful for me to sleep on. On his advice I returned to the store numerous times over maybe a couple of months to test this mattress out. So I maybe lay on the mattress for at least half an hour turning and trying both sides of my body. I thought at last I have found the mattress for me and it would give me some much needed relief. After having little or no sleep for many years I thought I had finally found the answer. How wrong was I! I contacted dreams customer service and they agreed to send out an assessor. Very friendly guy who proceeded to use some kind of measuring method & calculation I think like a ruler, he measured the pillow top part of the mattress. According to him they do not consider its a fault if the measurement of thickness does not go below 3cm if my recollection is correct! So that was that and I had to accept that I was stuck with this very expensive mattress and as we had also purchased a new base, a very expensive mistake indeed! Like one of the other reviews I had read, I too wondered how the product from the showroom could be so different from the one I received! I feel that maybe the ones in the showrooms are to draw you in and then are all made the same in a factory somewhere. However, I was told these particular mattresses are made by hand in the Flaxby factory somewhere? This whole episode has left me feeling very depressed indeed! All I wanted was relief from pain and a good night's sleep. I feel I am actually sleeping worse than I was on the previous mattress. I don't know what the answer is as I have already gone way over 100 days trial, however did not think after just over 5 months I would be facing this problem! One other point I must make is that, under this '3cm' pillowtop the rest of the mattress underneath has a very firm feel. So all that is supposed to give you this soft, comfortable sleep is the 3cm pillow top.

I am obsessed with my new mattress! I picked a Flaxbyits hand-sewn and made in-house by the brand. What I really liked is how open they are about where and how its made. They even let the Dreams store staff visit the farm and factory! When I first asked about it at Christmas, one of the team members, Mike, was super excited to tell me everything. He even had pictures and clearly loved sharing how it all works. That made a big difference to meI knew I had to come back when I was ready to buy. The mattress feels awesome. It feels like i'm on top of luxury! Since I am only 5'4 on a 36cm mattress, I truly feel like queen of the castle . I know itll soften up a bit with time, which Im actually looking forward to, I've had it for a month now (and even though I forgot to rotate it) it's feeling like its shaping well to me. I went with this over a Tempur because it just felt more natural, and the traditional support is better for me. Tempur made me feel a bit off when I got up, probably because of my health. This one just feels rightand honestly, it feels like luxury every night. Then there's the bed frame! That was just a sweet deal, but I have noticed it's no longer on the website! I got the Soren in mustard and walnut, it looks stunning, and it fits just under my windowsill really nicely. I love the headboard, it goes well with my dark green sheets, and I'm planning on shaping my room around it when I decorate next. With that and amazing staff to help me make a decision, it was a super satisfying shopping experience with Dreams!!

The mattress comes in either medium or soft. I chose the Medium. As it contains natural fillings it smells a bit for a week or so, but I expected that. It's an incredible snug, cosy mattress, noticeably so after my previous hybrid (latex/gel/pocket-spring) and Tempur mattresses, neither of which could be every described as cosy. This is a mattress that you won't want to get out of in the morning. Temperature regulation is fantastic. Combine it with a wool duvet and you'll be as snug as a bug in a rug. The downside is within 3 months and despite weekly rotations, the springs have gone very noticeably soft and dippy on both sides. Even though I'm under 11st and my wife under 10st. So after just 3 months, I now wake up cozy but with a bad back. So beware this mattress will go soft and sag extremely quickly. For that reason only I cannot recommend it, unless you only like a soft mattress. As that's what you'll get, even if you choose medium.

We purchased two soft zip and link Flaxby Mattresses, delivered on 1 July 2022. They are not as soft as the ones you lay on in the store, we have turned them around, but they are still not as soft as we thought they would or should be. Also, when zipped together and you want to move the mattresses, they fold up in the middle, so it is like they are not joined together properly. The zip and link mattresses we had before these zipped together and acted as one complete mattress, they did not fold up in the middle when moving them, nor did they have a gap between the two mattresses like these flaxby ones have. Our previous mattresses were not Flaxby nor were they purchased from Dreams. We thought that these Flaxby mattresses would be different than they are, we were not able to try any zip and link mattresses in the store as they did not have any on display. At over 2,500 we are more than a little dissapointed.

Please read this review and save your money. After many visits to the store trying out different mattresses we finally purchased the Flaxby mattress in a soft tension. This was only a year ago, We had such high hopes for this mattress. The mattress in store was so much softer than the one we received. We persevered rather than exchanging after the 100 day trial hoping eventually it would soften to the cloud like feel we experienced in store but the opposite has happened, the pillow top has flattened to what feels like a hard board underneath. Were now tossing and turning during the night trying to get in a comfortable position, we wake up with hip and lower back pain. This morning my husband said his shoulders have started to ache. It has been a very expensive mistake and a complete waste of money. I would not recommend this mattress.

having hummed & harr'ed about potential purchase for over a year, we eventually went to Dreams & tried a few mattresses. We chose one, which was delivered within the specified time frame, the old mattress was taken away, & we were looking forward to restfall nights. The mattress is indeed wonderful to sleep on - but there was a problem. The orginal base is 16" tall, the new, lovely mattress is 14" tall. My husband thought it was great - he go's to get out of bed, his feet are flat on the floot, but here was the problem. he is 6'2", no problem - I am a mere 5'6", my feet dangle some 6" off the ground, so getting into & out of bed is an undignified scramble clutching at the duvet. Answer? Husband kindly builds me a 6" step. Getting in, & out of bed is now wonderfully easy. Uncomfortable nights are now definitely a thing of the past!

Just dont buy. Theres clearly an issue with some of these mattress and its an expensive risk to take spending your money on one not knowing if you will get the product in store or a faulty variant. Ordered this in 2022 based on the mattress in store, which was beautiful! The mattress we got is still hard as a rock and Ive lived with it for this long because it was expensive, and we had already switched out a Tempur mattress at the start which left me unable to do so again. I started with back and hip issues because of this mattress. They have progressively got worse and am now awaiting a medical appointment to investigate my hip issues. Ive even bought gel toppers to help, they do a little but not enough. Ive resorted to recent nights trying out the sofa instead because I just cant deal with this mattress any more.

We already have a tempur bed, And although recommended as one of the top beds to have we decided that a foam mattress was no longer for us. After spending several hours in store trying various sprung beds we settled on the Flaxby. The team in store at pur Cambridge branch were outstanding. They explained in detailed the various bed types and style's and also which firmness we should have. Ordering ans delivery were a breeze, the delivery team were very considerate wearing over shoe's and face masks. And provided all necessary advice on how to maintain the bed. From our 1st night sleep on the Flaxby we have woken feeling fully refreshed each day, its so cozey especially with the cold winter nights that the only problem is that we dont ever want to get out of bed now.

Your Review We treated ourselves to a Harrison Flaxby mattress as we wanted something soft and non memory foam. having had a Tempur mattress for 15 years which has served us well we made the decision to go for something using natural materials. The delivery was 4 weeks and was delivered on the day at the time given - with the driver calling us to check and advise us - very good customer service. We are still getting used to the mattress and after 2 weeks finding out about how our bodies respond to it. I'm glad we have the 30 day guarantee as this gives us peace of mind that we can exchange it should we find the need to. So far our experience of purchasing from Dreams has been a positive one.

We bought the first matress in Janury 2023 for our main bedroom and put into practice all the advice we were given in the upkeep and care of the mattress. We were so impressed with the quality and support we made a second purchase within 4 months for the second room. We would therefore highly recommend this mattress. We found the Gloucester store to be very welcoming - and inparticular Sean, who we dealt with on both occassions, who we found to be very knowledgeable and helpful and made the whole process totally painless. The delivery drivers on both prearranged delivery dates were also very respectful, polite and knowledgeable and completed the installation with a minimum of fuss.

I invested in this mattress along with the sleepmotion 800i frame to combat insomnia, and I now rarely struggle to fall asleep. This mattress in the zero gravity mode is pure bliss. The worst thing about this mattress is that is has ruined hotel stays for me, I no longer enjoy sleeping in a 5* suite, as this mattress means my bed is so much comfier! Bought the super king size and soft. One genuine annoyance is that it was a couple months late to be delivered, which having just moved to an unfurnished house was a huge inconvenience. I do think considering the price of the mattress, the manufacturer should have offered some free pillows or a duvet etc. For the delay.

Had the Flaxby Master Guild 14950 SOFT comfort delivered last week. It is very firm! Reading now on Harrison Spink website that it could take 12 weeks to soften! That was not made clear. I want the SOFT version that the manufacturer sends to the Dreams showrooms as Im sure that is SOFT on delivery, otherwise they wouldnt sell any!! I did e-mail Dreams immediately but have not received a response yet. I need a guarantee that it will soften to the level very close to what Dreams are demonstrating in store. No signs of softening so far after week 1!! If not it will be 30 day refund I am afraid. Cant manage 100 days of this !

We have had this mattress now for around 6 months, it cost over 2000! , without a doubt it is the most uncomfortable mattress we have ever had and by far the most expensive. It is already dipping and feeling lumpy even though we did as advised and rotated the mattress often . Myself and my husband are both now suffering with bad shoulders and backs and I just toss and turn all night because I cant get comfortable . We did not exchange this mattress after the trial period because we had already trialled a tempur mattress previous to this one , so now we are stuck with an expensive excuse for a mattress.

Our last mattress was about 20 years old and was causing sleepless nights and aches and pains in the morning . We looked at many mattresses and they were just either poorly made or not providing support. We tried the various Flaxby Nature firmness types and went for a medium support. We were not disappointed as the mattress is absolute heaven. We can both move without causing one or both of us to roll into the middle. I have not felt so rested for years. I would highly recommend anyone to throw their old mattress out for probably the best one on the market. Five Stars.

We tried the matress in the showroom and this model felt the best for comfort for us. The matress which we have recieved is noticably harder/firmer than the one we tried, I probably would not have opted for this product if it felt this way in the showroom. I was told after raising this, that the showroom model would be a lot softer than the one we got, but the whole sale pitch is based on how the showroom models feel, what is the point if it does not reflect the product being delivered. I have been told it will soften with time but not how long this might take

Our 1st night on this mattress was not a good night, we both got up in pain. I was worried, as i paid a lot of money for it and had already got rid of my old one. We were both pleasantly surprised with our second night, it was so much better and no pain next day, for either of us. We are 2 weeks down the line now, still getting used to our new mattress but it is now a pleasure to get into bed. I find buying the right mattress very hard and am pleased there is 100 night returns guarantee. I'm sure i can safely say, it wont be going back

I have had this mattress for a month now. I purchased a medium single. Initially I thought I had made a mistake as it seemed to be more firm than medium. It is much deeper than my old mattress therefore it felt a little strange to be higher. After a while it settled down and is very comfortable. It was expensive and one needs to get it right. The staff were very helpful and didn't pressure me in any way. I did look at various styles etc online so I had an idea what maybe would suit me. I sleep very well and pleased I choose this style.

We've been on the lookout to replace our very old, but very comfy mattress for a long time. We actually purchased two other mattresses from other manufacturers before finally settling on this one. My wife and I are side sleepers between 70-80kg and find most mattresses just too firm, and also find memory foam toppers to hot, but this is just perfect for us. Supportive, but the layer of extra springs and padding on top is really super comfy, but also nice and cool in the summer. Expensive, but worth every penny

Worthless mattress uncomfortable and collapse just past the 40day try before return deal when purchased. Bought the zip half soft half medium as thats what the design try out mattress in store said is our preference and its all utter scam! Mattress been replaced and had to get rid as this mattress was causing us both serious back problems. Should have got rid before the 40 day guarantee but shame on us. Please dont waste your money on such an expensive mattress - not even worth one star rating.

We have had a wonderful many nights on our new mattress bought from Dreams. Having gone through enormous difficulties in having bought from another Company who were not specialists in selling such items. We obtained after many phone calls a refund and purchased the Rolls Royce of mattresses at an expense that we would not have agreed to had we not been through the horrible experience before. We are now so pleased with this mattress which sees cleverly our bodies and allows us to rest now in peace.

At last i get a good nights sleep! I have curvature of the spine and being in later part of my senior years, i needed a decent mattress. Yes, this was expensive for me, but worth every penny. I wake up with no aches now. So it was money well spent. I look at it as an investment in my health. The diffrence i feel through the day is priceless. Only draw back i have is that im a bit vertically challenged so need to use a little step to get into bed due to the extra height of the mattress.

We have always purchased our beds and mattresses from dreams. Vast choice of quality products. All staff are excellent well trained in product knowledge. Delivery guys Friendly, clean and respectful of property. I was beginning to think that no mattress would ever suit me and I would have to wake up feeling like I had slept in a bag of spanners, not the case now I wake up like I should well rested and back pain has gone. It is a considered purchase but well worth the investment.

We have had our new mattress just over three weeks and are struggling with it as its nothing like the one we tried in the showroom. We ordered a soft mattress, however it feels like we are sleeping on a hard floor. The first 3 nights I awoke to lower back pains. My husband still awakes feeling aches in the morning. We have read other reviews and are still hoping it will soften. We havent experienced that soft sinking feeling we felt on the showroom yet.

Nowhere near as soft as the one in the shop. Ordered a medium as recommended by Dreams and tried in shop. Was way too hard so after 90 days of trying to get used to it we exchanged it for the soft version. Soft version is also way too hard. Much firmer than the one in the shop. Very disappointed as love the natural filling and has stopped my night sweats but now looking at selling this one and finding something softer as keep waking up with dead legs.

We're really happy with our mattress. It's very comfortable and breathable. A couple of things to note - it's very heavy (70kg) and doesn't flex much so bear this in mind when ordering for a bedroom with limited access. Also, it's a tall mattress, so you'll want a lower bed if possible. Our bed is just 30cm high and the mattress still feels high off the ground. All things considered, though - this is the best mattress we've ever slept on.

Absolutely the most comfortable mattress EVER! Easily manoeuvred despite being very heavy because it has handle holds on each side AND unusually at BOTH ends, so even this 75 year old lady can deal with it alone! Seriously, we both love this mattress and have slept perfectly ever since it was installed. Cannot recommend it enough. Also it is deeper than any others we have purchased in the past and is therefore so easy to get in and out of.

I purchased this mattress a year ago. Like other posters have said. Its much harder than the that in the showroom. Ive got a medium and it is seriously hard. Giving back and hip pain. I did try to swap under 30 days but they advised me to wait for the full 100 days. After a year Im now looking to purchase another mattress as this very expensive mistake isnt anywhere near the cloud mattress you have in the showroom.

By far the best hes Ive ever slept on! This mattress is simply amazing, like sleeping on a cloud. The workmanship is faultless and the pillow top brings a whole new level of comfort. Sleeps like a baby for the last 2 months! Never going back. These are available in different configurations to suit both sleepers individually and the results are amazing. If you are looking for the perfect mattress - look no further!

We bought one from the shop floor, so had been broken in so to speak. Delivered on Monday and from the first night, instant bliss. Stay in bed longer - dont turn as much, if fact hardly at all. It is higher than the standard, so you do notice getting on and off. Super comfortable and so glad we popped into Dreams. Great service. Bought a couple of Tempur pillows to go with it and much, much better sleep.

A year on and its still way too hard. Wake up with dead legs and lower back pain. Started with the medium which we exchanged after 90 days for the soft one. Soft one is now a year old and still too hard. Tried mattress toppers that helped but didnt solve the aches. Nothing like the ones in showroom comfort wise. Only good point is my night sweats are much less.

Nice comfortabel mattress but after 2 years of use it has developed an extremely strong musty order that is impossible to remove. I believe this is caused by deterioration of the topper filling. This is despite following the recommended service instructions. Really Really disappointed, at this price you would expect a far superior product.

Do not buy! It is the worst mattress ever! Me and my husband wake up with so much back pain. I feel like i am laying on rocks. We have been rotating it as it is suggested, but that does not help. We bought the mattress in 2022 and I dont think i can sleep on it any longer. So much money for such a bad quality. It has to be discontinued!

We chose the medium, it is comfortable for us. The mattress is heavy making rotation more awkward than our previous one, not something we had thought about. The pillow top makes it deep our fitted sheets only just manage to fit. It also moves the edge of the usable mattress in slightly so it's not quite as big as a normal mattress.

I note in the reviews that after 2/3/4 years the bed can slump. or get lumpy. Is this slump or lumpiness covered by the guarantee and if it is what would the solution be please?

Answer: With any mattress within time natural settlement will occur which can be mistaken for an issue with the product, but this is normal behaviour as the mattress settles to your body.However if this is excessive and exceeds manufacture tolerances then this would be covered under the guarantee.Many thanks

Whats the difference between the zipped and non-zipped versions? Does that mean the topper zips off? Thanks.

Answer: The difference is the mattress separates in to two sections length ways (north to south). The mattress is delivered as two sections to help with ease of manoeuvring into the property, the mattress can then be zipped together to make a complete mattress.Many thanks
