Comfort
Being too hot at night is an absolute no-no for great sleep. That’s why we designed our fantastic Simbatex foam; it’s an ‘open cell’ foam, which allows thirty times the airflow of memory foam (that’s almost breezy for a bed).
Ergoflex comparable only to TEMPUR® is technically more advanced and superior in performance to every alternative both in this price range and beyond. As a result it is renowned for delivering deep restorative sleep. It is recommended by Practioners for those that suffer from back pain, fibromyalgia, circulation problems and joint complaints or to those simply in need of a good night's sleep. The Ergoflex 5G consists of an unrivalled 9cms of open-cell 85kg/m³ high-density memory foam. Our unique Cool-Sleep airflow system encourages air to freely circulate thorough the mattress keeping you cool while you sleep. Our base layer provides perfectly weighted support for the upper layers and longevity of mattress performance.
Support
You’ll find up to 1,500 of these ingenious springs nestling in our essential mattresses; each individual Aerocoil® spring flexes gently in response to you and your partner’s movements, offering personalised support to each of you without disturbing the other.
Our mattress is the only true high density memory foam mattress available. Designed to mould itself to the contours of your body it provides instant comfort, more support and better sleep. This confidence is matched by our customers making repeat purchases for additional mattresses time and time again. Our class-leading zero disturbance technology has been a distinctive feature for over 10 years. Promoting deeper, more restful sleep it reduces the likelihood of being woken by a restless sleeping partner. Indeed our ten-year guarantee is underpinned with confidence of a decade of success. Unlike other brands we know our mattresses stand up to our warranty claims - as we have done it in real life for over a decade.
