Cotton 135

When you're looking for a good mattress, this is as good as it gets on a tight budget. We haven't skimped on quality - this mattress is hand tufted with a 100% Egyptian cotton cover with natural fire retardants and no nasties. It's not a cheap single sided mattress, because they don't last and compromise on comfort.

Filled using a hypoallergenic aerated polyester pad and dual eco-insulator mattress pads (with no foam fillers), our woven polyester pads are made from 70% recycled plastic bottles, keeping 350 of them out of landfill for our average mattress. We use woven pads because they breathe well, wick away moisture and regulate temperature almost as well as wool. Complete with 16 air vents for extra ventilation, this creates a perfect environment for good sleep and that's why we never use sweaty foams or latex.

Handmade by craftsmen built around a 13.5 Bonnell coil spring unit complete with rods for edge to edge support - this is a tried and tested good, supportive mattress. It's double sided, so flip it over every now and then to prolong its life and allow the fillers to relax and rebound.

When you first lay on this mattress, it's not as WOW! as a brand new, cheaper foam filled sprung extravaganza from somewhere else. Foam mattresses feel great at the beginning, but those cheap foams flatten out really quickly and it'll feel soggy and saggy in no time. Our mattress will feel just as comfortable and supportive after a few years as it did when it was delivered.
