Modifications and Special Sizes

High quality German (Bonnel) springs are wrapped with wool and cotton, then covered with pure cotton or linen feather proof ticking (mattress cloth) and hand tufted (buttoned).

The ‘YORKTON’, ‘CLASSIC’ and ‘LUXURY’ mattresses are equally carefully made. Their price difference reflects the amount of fillings they contain. Good fillings are the key to comfort and durability, and are more important than springs. Our natural filled open coil mattresses are superior in quality to most of the 'pocket' sprung mattresses made with synthetic fillings on the market today. Many returning customers choose them, not for their price but because they find them so comfortable.

More costly pocket sprung mattresses are made with thousands of very fine, responsive springs  nested in cloth pockets and arranged in a tightly packed honeycomb formation. Each spring is free to move independently. This allows them to adapt more readily to different requirements and body types, thereby meeting the most demanding of needs. Only the springs that one rests directly upon respond, and there is minimal transference of movement from a restless partner.

They can be made to any size, and unlike open coil springs, are not limited to 3” (75 mm) increments. All are hand tufted, 10 “ (25 cm) deep, and deeply filled with layers of wool and cotton. ‘1200’ & ‘1500’ denote the number of springs in a 5’0” (152 cm) mattress.

Pocket springs need to be correctly supported. The gaps between the slats should not exceed 2.25” (60 mm). All beds ordered with our pocket sprung mattresses will therefore have two extra slats - supplied at no extra charge.

Pocket springs contour readily to your body and provide more support whilst you sleep

Pocket Mattresses

 * Until further notice, the cloth covering on the ‘Luxury’ mattresses has been substituted with the equally high quality ticking used on the pocket mattresses below. This is due to a shortage of cotton supplies.
