What are the main benefits and advantages of a zipped mattress?
The obvious one is it gives you the option to zip the mattresses together to make a 6ft super king size, but you also have the option to separate them into 2 extra-long single mattresses and use them as twin singles, if it's not a couple that's using them.Zipped mattresses are also a practical solution for those who want a super king size mattress for the master bedroom, but have an awkward or tight staircase for a one-piece mattress, as it will be delivered as two separate mattresses to be zipped together.
Are zipped mattresses different from standard one-piece mattresses?
Other than the fact they come as two separate mattresses, the make-up and feel is just the same as a standard size of the same model.
What types of zip and link mattresses are available?
Open Coil - Robust and durable, traditional open coil springs are set out in rows running from head to toe and connected at the top and bottom by a series of spiral wires.
Pocket Spring - Housed in their individual cloth sleeves, pocket spring are totally independent of any neighbouring springs, resulting in piston-like support where you need it most.
Why is mattress tension so important?
When choosing a new mattress, the tension is one of the main considerations you have to make as it determines the level of comfort and support you receive. If you are someone who prefers to sleep on their side, you are more likely to need a medium soft support that responds to your pressure points, such as a pocket spring or pillow top mattress. For those who change their sleeping position throughout the night, a medium firm option is the right mattress for you. Medium firm is renowned for providing just the right support for your spine, neck and lower back. For those who sleep on their front or back, we recommend you opt for a firm or extra firm mattress. Firmer mattresses are also the best option for people who require additional support.
What are the fillings are used in zip and link mattresses?
Memory Foam - Designed to be temperature sensitive, memory foam softens when in contact with body heat, moulding itself to your contours for a more restful night's sleep.
Latex - Hypo-allergenic and boasting natural elasticity, latex offers exceptional comfort, support and excellent temperature and moisture regulation.
Gel - Boasting thermo-regulating properties, Gel is able to disperse excess heat away from the body to provide a cooler surface on which to sleep on.
Geltex - A gel infused comfort layer offers enhanced breathability and a bounce back sensation that actively responds to your body shape as you sleep.
Natural - Springier and softer than synthetic fillings, natural layers such as wool, cotton, silk and cashmere boast excellent temperature regulating properties for a cool night's sleep.
Are zipped mattresses expensive?
Just like any other mattresses, they can be made with high-end pocket springs, or more affordable open coil springs. Did you know that a £1000 mattress only costs you 34p a night, over a period of 8 years? You can half that if you are sharing your bed with a partner. When you consider the majority of us spend a third of our lives all snug and cosy in our beds, 34p a day is a small price to pay for a quality night's sleep. Although we all have budgets when purchasing a new mattress, it's better to invest in buying the right mattress than to save money buying the wrong one.
