British Wool Pillowtop Mattress by Hypnos

Pocket sprung

This is a pocket sprung mattress made with ReactivePro 6 turn pocket springs. The '6 turn' description relates to the number of 'turns' in each spring, the higher the number of turns, the more reactive the spring and the more responsive the mattress. In a pocket sprung mattress, individual springs are encased in a fabric 'pocket', allowing each spring to independently respond to your body and movements. You and your sleeping partner will enjoy a more peaceful night's sleep with less chance of being disturbed by each other's movements. Triple edge protection allows you to use the full mattress area for an even better night's sleep.

Layers of Comfort

This mattress is full of carefully selected fillings. The mattress base is crafted with a supportive upper layer of Himalayan allo, Kapok and cotton, and a lower layer of eOlus recycled fibre for additional durability. The indulgently soft pillowtop contains a British wool blend for additional breathable comfort and support.

Your mattress will feel different according to the base it's placed on. Any bed base will work, so long as it is well-ventilated - your mattress needs to breathe for it to stay in good condition. Always choose the right size mattress for your bed base. Too small, and it will look strange, too large and you'll damage the mattress. Sagging or broken bed bases will damage your new mattress, we recommend buying a new bed base at the same time as your mattress. If you intend to use a slated base, the slats should be no more than 7cms apart.

Welcome your new mattress

You may notice a slight odour when removing your mattress from its packaging. This is normal and will go away after couple of days. Your mattress may also have compressed slightly during the delivery process; leave your mattress to air and it will quickly bounce back into shape.

Regularly rotate

Your mattress will adapt to the weight and contours of your body; rotating your mattress from foot to end will keep the filling even and extend the life of your mattress. Rotating a mattress is a two-person job, so get some help.

Settlement is normal

After a few weeks of use, you might notice that the sleeping areas are wearing more quickly than the rest of the mattress. Don't panic! Mattresses with very soft, natural layers do naturally compress slightly and it's a sign of a high quality fill. You can minimise this settlement by regularly rotating your mattress and using a mattress topper.

Protect what's precious

Always use a mattress protector. It helps keep your mattress fresh and clean and extends the life of your mattress.

Spot clean only

If you spill on or mark your mattress, spot clean it with soapy water and a cloth. Allow it time to dry thoroughly before making up your bed again.

Pull back the covers

Pull back your duvet to air your bed while you're getting ready for the day. This helps excess moisture to evaporate so your bed stays fresher and cleaner. Once a week you should air your bed for a few hours by turning back all bedding from the mattress to allow any moisture to evaporate.
