Like I said, please only ask general questions rather than specific manufacturers or retailers, as I just get slated for telling the truth.

How often should a double sided pocket sprung memory foam mattress be turned ?

Normally about once every two weeks for the first three months or so, then once per month after that. You would need to alternate between turning it lengthways, and turning it over.

I have noticed that the Apollo Calypso does now have 1500 springs (I have seen the mattress in their showroom) so presumably is closer/the same in spec' to the Venice as opposed to the Madrid?

I think you will find that there is a lot of confusion about the spec of the calypso. It is still 1000 springs, but it appears to be non turn now.

I actually went to Apollo Beds yesterday and the mattress is clearly labelled as having 1500 springs, also the label does say no turn, but there is a layer of memory foam on both sides and the fabric covering is the same. I spoke to someone there in the office who told me that the mattress is actually turnable because of the way they have made it.
I wonder if they think that "No Turn" is a plus selling point?

To be honest I really don't know. They have made many changes presumably to cut costs. This is why I lost all confidence in them. They actually sold me mattresses that were supposed to contain 1500 pocket springs, but only had 1000. If it says non turn, then it sounds like the memory foam is only on one side, but it possibly has reflex foam on the other.

I have just bought one and can confirm it is memory foam both sides and I understood from the seller Mattsuk that it is 1000 springs, though I agree it is confusing as I have seen it advertised elsewhere as 1500 too and also as 10'' and 11'' thick. Anyway I am very happy with mine now, - the problem I mentioned last week here was sorted by the seller.:D

Hello everyone,

I have spent the last couple of nights trying to read through this thread. It has been very helpfull - Thank you.

We went to a couple of small local shops today, we only have them, being a small town!! The best mattress seemed to be a sprung, with a memory foam layer. The shop assistant wrote down "Prelude". I've done a search for this to get any reviews,but only get links to John Lewis, which doesn't seem to be the same mattress. Can anyone help, or does anyone have any idea which mattress I mean.

Any help please.
