Featuring 2000 individually responsive pocket springs, it provides targeted support to help maintain proper spinal alignment throughout the night. Generous fibre fillings are paired with a cotton rich cover to offer breathable comfort, while hand tufting enhances durability and keeps fillings securely in place.

Troubleshooting
Mattress feels too firm after initial setup
All new mattresses require a 'settling-in' period of 2 to 4 weeks for the comfort layers to adjust to your body weight and for the fillings to distribute evenly.
Visible indentations where I sleep
Regularly flipping and rotating the mattress will allow the fillings to recover and ensure even distribution of pressure, which eliminates localized body impressions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: As a heavy, non-vacuum-packed mattress, ensure you have assistance when moving it to the bedroom. It should be placed on a flat, solid base or a sprung slatted base with slats no more than 7cm apart.
Compatibility: It works well with most standard bed frames, but ensure the frame dimensions accommodate the 30cm depth.
Care: To maintain the integrity of the mattress, rotate and flip it every 3 months for the first year, then every 6 months thereafter. Use a mattress protector to keep the cotton-rich fabric clean from moisture and dust.
