Luxury Mattresses Handcrafted in the UK

A good quality mattress should last between 5-7 years before it needs to be replaced.

Yes, if you purchase a mattress from us then we can recycle your old mattress. There is an additional charge for this service – please call 01777 869 669 to find out more.

To find out which type of mattress is best, we would recommend testing a few to find out which feel – soft, medium or firm – suits you the best. It is an individual choice, so unless you know which feel you like best; it’s difficult for an advisor to recommend one over another.

This refers to the number of springs in a 5ft (king-size) mattress regardless of whether the mattress is a pocket sprung deck or a coil sprung deck.

The depth of mattresses can vary quite a lot. Foam mattresses like memory foam can be quite thin – as little as 8 inches (this doesn’t mean the mattress is poor quality). On the other end of the scale, a pocket sprung mattress can be as much as 14 inches deep depending on the spring count and the amount of filling. This can be a problem when buying a fitted sheet, but at Revival Beds, we can supply them made to measure.

How often you should turn your mattress depends on the type of mattress you have. A mattress that is built from the bottom and finished with a topper should only be rotated; not turned.

If your mattress is built from the core with the same filling either side it should be turned every couple of months or so.

Memory foam and latex are both types of foam. Memory foam is a man-made product, whereas Latex is entirely natural and harvested from rubber trees. Latex also offers a cooler sleeping experience.

These materials can be combined with springs within a hybrid mattress. Alternatively, each material can be used to make the whole mattress.

Mattresses usually contain materials that can create dust, which can be a problem for people who have allergies. To combat this, mattress manufacturers can include a hypoallergenic barrier in the build of the mattress which contains the dust within the mattress.

Latex and memory foam mattresses are entirely free from any dust at all and are hypoallergenic.

When the springs within a mattress are all interlocking; this stops them moving independently of each other.
