    Hi Tim, you may have missed this so can i ask again... what fillings should the pocket sprung memory mattress ideally contain?

    thanks in advance :)

    Obviously pocket springs, felt, thin layers of reflex foam, 2" of 60 to 70kg per m3 high quality British made visco elastic memory foam (on each side). Then covered with a 4 way stretch knitted fabric top and bottom, and damask on the sides with vents.
  • Certainly it would be good if we could find out the name of the Hampshire stockist from sanfly.[/quote]

    La Romantica Beds gave me the name of a Hampshire stockist:
    Richard Eade Furniture Warehouse, Bordon, Hants. I haven't investigated yet what models they stock - their website has only a limited range of beds to view.

    sanfly has confirmed that the Hampshire stockist is the above and that they have only just got the mattresses in so they do not yet appear on their website.

    That is way over priced. The brass version of that bed is available for around £200, so I'm sure the chrome one should also be available for the same price if not cheaper.

    Have searched the net but can't find it anywhere else. Have you any idea where I would be able to find it online or otherwise?

    Appreciate your help :beer:

    This is the link to the brass one. http://www.bedstreet.co.uk/karma-double-antique-brass-frame-p-118.html

    I'm still looking for the chrome one. However there are similar ones in Chrome available on line.

    Ok thanks. The reason I like this bed so much is that it's solid metal and not hollow like most I've seen.
    Thanks for your help!
  • OK, I have finally found a company who will ship to Ireland.

    Ok, read your post. So do you feel yourself sink into mattress a bit?

    Is it easy to turn over after lying in one position for a while?

    What about the tufts? Can you feel them? Do they prevent sinking into mattress in any way?
  • So do you feel yourself sink into mattress a bit?
    I'd describe it more as feeling it mould around you, so in the sense of knowing it's memory foam, you can definately feel the benefits.

    Yes, you don't sink in so far it's hard to move about and it's easy to change positions.
    What about the tufts? Can you feel them? Do they prevent sinking into mattress in any way?
    I'd never had a bed with tufts before, so wasn't sure what to expect. They aren't hard or solid buttons, they have what are either foam circles or some other soft material where the tufts are, so once lay or sitting on you can't feel them there at all.

    Where the body's heavier eg head, back, bottom you sink in so you don't know where the bits that are tufted are, but I find my legs don't sink in as far, so I can tell where the tufts are by my feet. I expect thats what a non-memory foam tufted bed feels like though? - does that make sense?!

    I'll put a couple of images up of the mattress if anyone wants if that helps!
