Latex Mattresses
|
 |
|
|
|
Latex is a naturally derived plant extract from the bark of the Brazilian Rubber Tree. It is baked into a slab, resulting in a highly durable, yet natural substance that feels soft to the touch, yet offers superior support when you lie on it. It is the luxury mattress support chosen by most discerning purchasers today, ad has the advantage of lasting longer than spring or coil systems.

Pocket Coil Mattresses
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pocket coil mattresses are a giant-size leap ahead in steel spring technology, where each individual coil is isolated from its neighbour in a material 'sock'. This results in a highly durable mattress where each coil moves independantly, meaning partner disturbance is kept to a minimum.

Visco-Elastic Mattresses
|
|
|
|
|
|
Viscoelastic mattresses contain a novel polyurethane material that senses a change in temperature, pressure or both and then reacts accordingly. Lie on it and you'll feel it gently moulding to the shape of your body. It's for this reason that it was originally developed by NASA to be used in space as a way of reducing G-force on astronauts. Now a novel component in mattresses, Viscoelastic material is the best choice for pressure relief and for achieving a soothing night's sleep. It is also commonly known as Memory Foam, but this is a misnomer as Memory foam is not necessarily a viscoelastic material.

Adjustable beds allow you to put yourself into any sleep position you want and are the lifestyle choice of many discerning bed shoppers. Want to watch TV without propping yourself up with cushions? With a touch of the remote control, you can now lift the whole head of your bed up until it reaches your desired position. Need to relieve that aching back or throbbing feet? Simply raise or lower the foot of the bed until you find a comfortable position.
