When AsleepBeware of showroom tricks
"It felt wonderful in the showroom!"
You want a mattress that gives you a luxurious feel, and makes you really look forward to going to bed. How can you check that it's also going to give you a great night's sleep?
Remember, Amstel tastes great in Greece! When you choose a mattress, luxury or backcare, you will be testing a mattress in a hot store with more clothes and less bed coverings than normal. And the mattress in there could be brand new or trashed ... and the bed base will probably be metal springs whereas you've set your heart on a beautiful sleigh base with slatted beech support ... and so on. What you need is honest advice from people who don't rely on commission ... like our staff and this web site.
Beware the conjurors trick: Most manufacturers set out to make their mattresses feel fantastic in the showroom ... but pocket sprung mattresses in particular get harder with age and many foam mattresses collapse while still quite young. Customers look to us to make a stand ... to tell the truth even if manufacturers don't like it ... the following beds can be chosen with confidence for real luxury that lasts.

Health warning: The mattresses below are not the ones we recommend for those with back issues or muscular skeletal problems. If such issues affect you we implore you to forget all about what a mattress feels like in the showroom and consult us for advice. Contact us or see our own selection of mattresses for ultimate health.
We've created our own mattress as joint development with Sealy. Although you wouldn't classify this as a "luxury" mattress when first lying on it (The "Back in Action Mirrorform" is optimised for back care) we do believe you'd find it the most luxurious too once you'd acclimatised to it. That's why at the moment, we are offering a 60-day home trial.

Sealy Mirrorform - Perfect ComfortThis is the one chosen in our stores by people able to accept a softer feel mattress. Feels instantly luxurious and welcoming. This mattress uses the ventilation slots to create localised extra softness. It also has extra latex to create a softer lumbar area which is part of the reason for its feel. We'd suggest you choose this if both you and your partner want a sensuous feel to the mattress and your back problems are mild and transient, or hopefully non-existent. |

Back in Action MirrorformThe result of Back in Action's 20 years of back care experience, combined with Sealy manufacturing skills. This mattress is optimized for those with back and neck problems. We are so confident in this design that we offer a 60-day trial. (as you'd expect there are some conditions). 22cm thick with a luxury top. The mattress uses slower visco foam than all our other mattresses to create a surface which is optimized for sleep and changing position. Try making love on this mattress and you will appreciate its qualities even more. NB: We haven't worried whether the mattress feels good when you prod it in the showroom. (Most mattresses are made to feel good at first prod ... really ... so that people will stop and try them). We've made sure it supports you while you are relaxed and asleep. After you've been lying on this for a minute or two the feel is exceptional ... effortless spinal alignment occurs for users with a wide range of build and shape. There is no reason why this shouldn't be chosen for those without back pain ... but at first prod they might be tempted by the Perfect Posture below: Key Features of Back in Action Mirrorform:
