Moving slightly up in price to between £100 - £150 |
Things you need to know.
Moving ever so slightly up in your budget will get you a lot more mattress for your money. The finish is better and the waddings and fillings will be deeper and of a higher quality.
Out of these three mattresses below all the insides of the mattress are pretty much the same but the finish (Tufted or Quilted) will determine the firmness levels. Not much between any of these but even so, . you will be hard pressed to find this quality mattress for the money.

What is side stitching?
Hand side stitching is the mark of an expensive mattress. That is why some manufacturers try to replicate traditional hand side stitching, by machine.
The images below show a mattress with SIMULATED side stitching and a mattress with HAND side stitching. They look very similar but simulated side stitching is done by machine and is only a decorative detail. Hand side stitching (or Hand stitched) is a time served craft and labour intensive process where the side panel is painstakingly stitched to the pocket springs inside before the mattress is sewn up. This process stops the side panel from 'bellying' and to provide ultimate edge to edge support. 'Bellying' is where a side panel 'bulges' out if you lie on the edge because there is nothing to connect the side panel to the springs.
Hand side stitching comes in either two, three or four rows .- Two rows of hand stitching is quite acceptable.
 |
 |
Simulated Side Stitched - 4 rows |
Hand side stitched - 3 Rows |
