4. In house quality control
3. 100% cotton covers
1. Natural fillings
2. Quality springs
The fillings are as important as the springs. We mainly use wool and cotton, both of which are unsuitable for automated production. Superior to, and more expensive than man made fibres, they are more durable and help to sustain even temperatures in summer and winter.
We choose our springs carefully. The high count ‘Pocket’ springs are from a top Yorkshire maker, and the ‘Open Coil’ springs are from a leading German manufacturer.
The traditional Lancashire woven, featherproof ‘tickings’ (mattress covers) allow the mattress to ‘breathe’. Pure cotton and linen impart the comfort and durability that cheaper, more commonly available synthetic covers cannot.
7 reasons for choosing a Litvinoff and Fawcett mattress
Visit our showroom and try them.
No obligation - our staff are not on commission and will demystify a relatively straightforward subject, explaining the differences between the various types. When approaching a mattress maker, you get access to superior knowledge and far better value, and the security of a quality handmade mattress with natural fillings and a 10 year guarantee.
A retailer or web shop simply cannot provide the same service.
Mass produced foam and fibre filled mattresses?
These are the most common types available on the High Street. Initially they may seem to be a good buy, and may even feel similar to those of a higher quality. However after a relatively short time the differences become apparent, and you may find that you are looking for another sooner than you thought.
Simply spending more does not ensure that you will get the quality that you are seeking. We offer a cost effective alternative to the High Street retailer.
Which other manufacturers sell direct to the public?
Very few! Over 95% of ‘own brand’ mattresses sold by other wooden bed makers and retailers are bought in from volume manufacturers, and none of the major department stores produce their own mattresses any more.
Try ours before you buy!
7. Gimmick free
Many manufacturers and retailers use gimmicks which may add to the cost but which do not improve the quality, and some which actually reduce the quality. These include:
Double layers of springs. Single sided ‘no turn’ or ‘Summer and Winter’ sided mattresses. Superficial embellishments. Minute sprinklings of cashmere, silk or mohair. Puffy foams and springy fibres etc..
The list is endless and ever changing.
Our aims are: No frills. Good value. Maximum comfort.
5. Value from the maker
6. Availability and choice
Eight standard UK sizes and nine different types are available at short notice. We also make non standard sizes for any type of bed - not just our own.
We offer exceptional value because there is no middle man. We have a fair pricing policy and no perpetual ‘Sales’ to lure or rush you into buying. Our prices remain constant throughout the year, and we are still chosen when others have their seasonal sales.
Over 50% of our sales are from recommendation
