We require a superkink mattress, I have osteoperosis in spine and hips and we have at present a memory foam mattress topper on our mattress this helps aleivate pain. My weight is 8 stone 4 lbs. My husband weights 12 stone 10 lbs so we wish to find a mattress that is suitable for us both, me for comfort and to support my hips and spine and for my husband who weights more and would not wish the bed to be too soft causing back problems. We both need support, as nothing worse is a bed that sinks in the middle!! perhaps you could advise.
Many thanks.
Hi Joy. I am not at all qualified to judge what is best for your condition. By the sounds of it, I take it your mattress is due for renewal as it should not be sinking in the middle, nor should you be describing it as soft which makes me think it is a cage sprung system rather than pocket springs – this alone would be aggravating anyone. A proper supportive foundation for you both with a comfort layer that also suits you both, such as latex rather than Memory Foam should be an affordable solution. I’m sorry to be vague, but I do need a bit more information. Please mail me or phone. John
You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it
Hi – we’re looking at your extraking zip link beds – mostly because we think they will help prevent us disturbing each other, but a benefit would be if we can separate the bed into 2 single beds for use by guests. Is that possible? – I think it is from your description but I wanted to be sure – cheers
Hi Terry. Yes they can be separated into two single beds if required and the Extraking you are looking at are the same size as standard single beds when separated. When looking at Superking Ziplinks be aware of the length difference – a Superking ziplink at 6′6″ long is three inches longer than a standard single bed (at 6′3″) and so you will have to get bedding, particular the bottom sheet, to fit this size. – Incidentally, Dunelm Mill seems to be a good resource for odd size bedding with my customers.
Many thanks. John
John, Nice site. Any chance you can get hold of a good quality European King mattress (160cm)? I hear bad things about Ikea and Habitat are very pricey in my opinion. Someone has mentioned Yanis but never heard of them and you seem to know what you on about.
Keep up the good work!
Dimitri
Hi Dimitri. Thanks for your question. Sorry, but European sizes are something I do not supply. As for Yanis? I used to sell their natural latex mattresses- found them to be a good product for the price – BUT.. I was sent an email from the supplier saying that I was underselling them (my prices were considerably lower than any on the net – my price for a latex double mattress was £375.00 – Coolmax Cover) and was ‘told’ not to undervalue the ‘brand’. Shortly afterwards, the cost price increased significantly and therefore I removed their products from my site. Make of that what you will! Hope this helps. John.
Hello John, Wish to buy Affinity Pocket 2000EKS zip link complete, but somewhere in your very comprehensive website, I have read that you only arrange ‘out of area’ delivery for mattresses. Can I put a suggestion to you that we meet you on the M6 somewhere at a convenient time for the both of us. We live in the Cotswolds and are retired, so time and distance isn’t such a problem. Your website is so good, we found we seem to know more than some of the shop staff we have encountered. Regard Pauline
Hello John….
Living in Glasgow, I realise I’m well outwith your area of travel. That’s a real pity, since I like what I see on your site and while no expert myself, I’ve recently become certainly better informed about the criminal mark-ups bed retailers like Dreams etc are making.
I’m actually now looking to replace my double bed and would much rather do business with you than the majors. Pity about the distance. Pity you don’t have a Scottish partner based in Glasgow!
Also from what I see of your comments and feedback, you appear to be a decent bloke (even though you’re probably not Scottish!!) and very knowledgeable.
Fact is most people in these retail shops are either useless re: product knowledge or worse, just lie to gain a sale. It’s clear you tell it like it is and I think the majority of people would appreciate that and rightly recommend you to their friends etc.
Nevertheless, I thought I’d thank you for vindicating a lot of hunches I had about the ‘best bed to buy’ etc. and hope I can at least find a retailer in Glasgow who’ll be the ‘least worst’!
Regards, Hugh.
Hi Hugh, Thanks for your kind comments, they really are hugely appreciated, particularly the decent bloke bit.
If you mail me with your budget and what you are looking for I will be able to steer you in the right direction. Many thanks. John.
Hi there,
Am on the hunt for a single pocket sprung firm mattress 200 cm long. Was looking at you affinity 2000 super-king zip, but obviously only require one! John
Any other suggestions?
Hi John, One half would be half price. Supplying that wouldn’t be a problem. Mail me with a few more details. John.
Further to my earlier reply, the beds at john lewis were an ‘ortho 3′ by Hypnos, and a 1200 pocket sprung 15cm deep mattress by Spink and Edgar… both ‘firm’.
Any thoughts?

hi
i am looking for a 2ft 6 x6ft x 8″ deep mattress( hardboard base) for adult to use in a caravan any ideas what to look for.
Hi Dee. The depth of 8″ is low for a decent quality mattress with sprung interior. 10″ would be a standard. And so, as alternatives without sacrificing on comfort you should be considering latex or memory foam mattresses – perfectly adequate for caravan usage . The size of 2.6 x 6.6 falls outside standard sizes and once again a foam mattress will be easier to source without paying a premium for special size. John.
Hi
We have just been to a shed that sells beds (if you catch my drift)
We have fallen for a Salus mattress. Pocket sprung (1500) with a memory foam top. The sides were supported with reflex foam(?) The size we are looking for is a double.
We live in Stoke-on-Trent Junc 16 off the M6.
Hope you can help? jackie
Hi Jackie. I have just responded to a similar question and requested that the price and specification can be supplied for comparison. As a general point of note for all readers, try not to get too attached to a brand name but try to break down the mattress by component. In this case, The Salus 1500 Memory is fundamentally a 1500 pocket sprung unit with a memory foam comfort layer. The detailing, fabric and finish on all Salus mattresses are admittedly high end and so the compromise on any alternative or comparable models will have to be taken into account.
As I have mentioned previously the price asked for these mattresses are in the main rather high for a standard combination of pocket springs and memory foam but – the quality of finish is superb. John.
Hi John,
I had a look at your website and wondering if you can help me. My partner and I are having trouble finding a mattress that suits both of us. I would like pocket sprung with memory foam top and he likes some thing much firmer. We have a Super King bed frame is it possible to have get a mattress that is half and half? Kate.
Hi Kate. Memory foam mattresses are notoriously hard to ziplink as the fabric used in many cases is a stretch soft knit rather than damask as found on firmer mattresses. With this in mind, your situation requires an added layer of difficulty by asking for two completely different kinds of mattress but at the same level to fit your frame. This request is fraught with complication and unlikely one that many manufacturers would be happy to carry out at an acceptable price. A posible solution would be two separate single mattresses (but special size 6′6 long) joined together by use of good quality protector. This is where bespoke manufacturers come into their own and more specialised than most in being able to help in situations like these. Try contacting Burgess Beds directly and ask them for a suggestion. Please keep me updated with your progress as this is a much asked request. John.
