Hi Chere. I’m afraid we do need a little more information in order to provide an adequate reply. John and Ryan.

My Husband and I are in need of your expert advice. I am an extreme fidgeter in bed, and 4 out of 7 nights a week I will wake my husband up whom them finds it difficult to go back to sleep again. This obviously is not an ideal situaiton. We are therefore looking into a new mattress, one which may help to prevent my husband from feeling me fidget. What are your reccommdations? Happy to upsize to a King as currently we have a standard double bed.

Many thanks,
Becky Thomas.

Hi Rebecca. A good point you raise about double sizes. It has to be said that in all cases it is advised that when you can – and if you can – to upsize to as big a bed as your room can comfortably take. A double bed at four foot six gives you only two foot three inches of sleeping space each which really is rather inadequate, particularly for fidgeters or tossers/turners.
In your case you have two options. One to upsize to a Kingsize bed at five foot (or even superking at 6′) , or, to have a kingsize ziplink bed (2 x 2.6″ each) which can be completely separated if neccessary to give your husband a decent nights sleep.
There is also the question begging to be asked on the reasons why you are prone to fidgeting/tossing/turning. Although we do not claim to be experts in actual sleeping habits, it stands to reason that if you are uncomfortable in your sleeping position say through a worn out mattress your body will be constantly adjusting whilst you sleep to obtain a more comfortable position.
Finally, never underestimate the condition of your pillows! The one source of many a bad nights sleep. Your neck should be supported and alligned to your spine but unfortunately only trial and error will show what level of pillow firmness will suit you both. As a sidenote to your dilemma, and if you think your mattress is in good enough condtion not to warrant replacement, it may be an idea to use two separate single duvets to reduce the risk of disturbance.

We are from Oxfordshire and will be moving into our new self-build house later this year, and are looking to replace our very old bed (we both have back problems, unsurprisingly!) We recently stayed at the Royal Garden Hotel in London and had a fantastic night’s sleep on their lovely big bed. They kindly provided me with the specification, which I tried to type into here, but ran out of space! However, this is an idea of what we are after: 7ft x 6ft 9in (or 7ft x 7ft) deep firm edge pocket sprung divan, with a wool and silk 2000 or 3000 pocket mattress with side stitching and FR damask. (The Royal Garden’s bed had a 1400 count – will 2000/3000 be even better??) And will we need to have two separate mattresses for this size bed? We are both tall people, and my husband weighs around 17 stone. This is a really important purchase for us, so I would be very grateful for any help you can give. I am severely deaf so don’t communicate that well by phone, though can do so if you feel it is really necessary. Many thanks.

Hi Karen, The bottom line is Yes we can help you and it will not cost you a fortune. The fillings and spec you describe are high end and of course that is our speciality – usually half the price of an equvalent model.
This will indeed be in two sections (zipped andf linked) Both you and your husbands bodyweight will be taken into consideration and the pocket springs [which at this level should be calico housed] will be tailored to each mattress – yours and your husband’s.
All fabrics on mattresses in this country are FR (Fire Retardant) grade dependant on the establishment [domestic or residential].
Hand Side stitching should be standard on this level of mattress – at this size three rows is more than adequate.

Finally Karen, I’m afraid there will have to be lengthy discussion to get this purchase correct. Much can be done by email and Ryan will mail you this reply with a few initial questions in order to be able to give a quotation. Many thanks. John.

We’ve tried out a Vi-Spring Regal Supreme Superking size with matching base at our local store and love the look and feel of it but even in the sale it was out of our price range. We were quoted for the divan base, mattress (medium) and a Vi-spring Atlas headboard all in Romo (purple) colour. Just wondered if you could let us know what price you could get the above for?
Many thanks. Emily.
Hi Emily, At nearly five grand for the set it’s no wonder you fell in love with it. However, you did bring up an interesting point about which way to go once you have found your bed but the price is prohibitive. In this case, do you really need the headboard and the base? How much would you be able to get just the mattress for. Vi Spring retailers invite you to phone them asking for their best price. Do this. Once you have asked a few you will soon come to see what the SRRP is and then make your choice as to who is offering the best price and service.
We are able to provide a similar built mattress in all but name (and this applies to all premium manufacturers – not just Vi-Spring) so feel free to give me a call to discuss. John.
