7. Gimmick free
Expertly made, from our own workshops and backed with a 10 YEAR GUARANTEE.
4. Quality control
3. 100% cotton covers
1. Natural fillings
2. Quality springs
Good fillings such as wool and cotton promote even temperatures and are more durable and absorbent than artificial fibres. Increasingly costly, they are hand worked and thus unsuitable for automated production.
We use high count ‘Pocket’ springs from a top Yorkshire maker, and ‘Open Coil’ springs from a leading German manufacturer.
Traditional Lancashire woven, featherproof ‘tickings’ (mattress covers) allow the mattress to ‘breathe’. Pure cotton and linen impart the comfort and durability that cheaper and more commonly available synthetic covers cannot.
Many manufacturers use gimmicks which add to the cost but which do not improve quality, and some which actually reduce quality. These include:
Synthetic, puffed up foams and fillings; double layers of springs; single sided ‘no turn’ mattresses; ‘Summer and Winter’ sided mattresses; unnecessary embellishment; minute sprinklings of cashmere, silk and mohair, etc.
Our aims are simple: Maximum comfort. Traditional quality and workmanship. Durability and value.
Better value because we sell direct to our customers, with no ‘Sales’ or phoney ‘Discounts’ to confuse you.
Straightforward pricing means you know where you stand. Prices stay low throughout the year and we remain busy, even when the High Street sales are on.
5. Direct from a maker
6. Availability and choice
Eight sizes and nine types are produced to meet most requirements and are available at short notice. We make any size for all types of bed - not just ours.
7 reasons for choosing a mattress from Litvinoff and Fawcett
‘Sale’ and ‘Cut Price’ mattresses
- Cheap Far Eastern imports from megastores and so called ‘bargain offers’ may seem to be a good buy but can be poor value. They may initially feel similar to those of superior quality, but after a relatively short time the differences become apparent.
Visit our Shoreditch showroom
- Simply spending more will not ensure that you will get the quality that you are seeking. To be absolutely certain, either purchase a premium brand (for a premium price) or check out Litvinoff & Fawcett’s time proven quality and value. We will not waste your time. We demystify a fairly straightforward subject, explain what you are paying for, and guide you through the potential minefield of choosing a mattress.
It is not necessary to spend a fortune
- You will get a higher specification by buying direct from a quality local maker and cutting out the middleman. High Street retailers and web sites simply cannot offer the same value or service.
Also buying a bed base?
- Over 95% of ‘own brand’ mattresses sold by wooden bed manufacturers are bought in, but few tell you this.
