Why buying a good quality mattress is worth the money

If you are looking for a new bed, quality should be your number one concern, according to the manager of Furniture Walk in Paget.

Henrietta Bean has more than 25 years’ experience in advising people on beds and mattresses.

“When clients come in we try our best to find out who the bed is for, for example, whether it is for a child or for the master bedroom,” she said.

“It is so important that people don’t buy beds on price but on quality. Some people won’t buy a decent bed for themselves but when you think about all the times you work so hard, and, let’s face it, most jobs are stressful, it is so important to get a good quality bed.

“That is what we stress to everyone coming in here looking for a bed.

“We also encourage clients to turn their mattresses around clockwise or anti-clockwise and to flip them over at regular intervals,” she added.

Furniture Walk carries three quality brands of beds — Englander, Sealy and Stearns & Foster.

Mrs Bean said the store stocks eight different mattress styles by Englander and there are two different types of coil systems to choose from. “The Tension Ease has a basic metal coil, with a count of 390 coils. You can have different toppers on the mattress, to give you various levels of comfort.

“For example, some people prefer a bed with a hardboard and some prefer a bed with a soft top.

“The Advanced Coil Technology is a two-coil system with 660 coils. There are the coils at the head and foot of the bed but in the middle they use more coils to provide extra support, for the heaviest part of your body.

“The more coils there are, the firmer the bed.”

She added: “All of the Englander beds are environmentally-friendly. They are made of natural fibres and have an anti-bacterial film (surface) in the mattress. This prevents dust mites from living in them.”

Furniture Walk stocks two kinds of Sealy Posturepedic mattresses — the Plush and the Firm.

“Sealy is probably one of the best-known brands in the world,” said Mrs Bean.

“The beds have a twist coil system. The Sealy Plush has the same coils as the Firm but the difference is in the topping, as the Firm has less foam.

“Sealy beds have a pillowtop encased in the mattress. They use a high-density foam which contours to your body size, so if it’s a double bed you both get the same support.”

The Paget store also stocks Luxury Firm and Luxury Plush mattresses by Stearns & Foster.

“Stearns & Foster started out in 1846 and have always had a desire to use good quality materials and metals,” said Mrs Bean.

“These are elegant beds and Stearns & Foster use a coil-within-a-coil system, so they are well built.

“They use good quality foam and cashmere so the bed ages well, and it contours to you.”

Furniture Walk also stocks day and trundle beds, bedroom furniture and furnishings.

“Anything to do with beds, we carry it,” said Mrs Bean.

“At Furniture Walk we enjoy helping people to make good choices and decisions. Customer service is our forte.”
