Mattresses - Frequently Asked Questions

What should I look for when purchasing a mattress?

We spend around one third of our life in bed, so choosing the right mattress is very important. You’ll want to consider your unique sleeping style, your budget, and your space requirements – all will help to point you towards your perfect mattress.

Memory foam mattresses are known for their body-contouring properties, while pocket sprung and open coil mattresses offer more bounce and airflow. Combination mattresses combine the best of both worlds, often featuring memory foam and pocket sprung layers. Gel foam mattresses offer full-support optimal pressure relief, excellent spinal alignment and are suitable for all sleeping positions.

Don't forget to factor in mattress size, considering both your available bedroom space and personal preferences. Single, double, king, and super king mattresses are common options, with variations like small doubles.

Quality mattresses come in a range of prices and it’s important to budget. But remember that investing in a comfortable mattress is an investment in your overall well-being and sleep quality.

Always test the mattress, if possible, as experiencing the mattress first-hand is crucial to ensure it meets your comfort expectations. We have showrooms in Kilkenny and Galway, where you can lie down on our beds to find the best one to give you nights of restful slumber and refreshed mornings.

What is the most comfortable type of mattress?

Your personal preferences will play a key role when choosing the most comfortable mattress. Pocket sprung mattresses have individual coils that provide targeted support, conforming to your body's contours and minimising motion transfer. A cost-effective alternative to this would be an open coil mattress, which uses interconnected springs that are topped with a variety of comfort layers. Memory foam mattresses are also known for their exceptional contouring ability, moulding to your body's shape, and relieving pressure points. Their plushness can provide a luxurious and comfortable sleep experience, especially if you enjoy a cradling sensation while you sleep. Natural latex offers both comfort and durability. It provides a responsive, supportive surface while still conforming to your body's contours. Latex is hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites and other allergens, making it an excellent choice for those with allergies.

If you prefer a balance between support and bounce, combination mattresses typically combine memory foam, latex, or other materials with a pocket sprung core. The result is a blend of contouring comfort and the responsiveness of traditional spring mattresses. Gel-infused memory foam or mattresses designed with breathable materials and advanced cooling technology can keep you comfortable by regulating temperature throughout the night.
