Sleep well. Live well.
When buying a mattress it can be hard to know where to start and what is right for you.
There is a lot of things to consider; the cost, the size, the material, etc. and you’ll want to make sure your chosen mattress is worth the investment before you buy.
So, here at Caffreys Furniture we have put together a guide to help you pick the mattress that suits you!

Size
The first thing you need to decide before you make a new purchase, is what size you need by measuring the current mattress (not the bed frame). See our diagram above for standard dimensions.
You will need to ensure that your new mattress can fit into you home - making sure that hallways, stairs, door frames etc are high and wide enough to accommodate the delivery.

Open Coil Mattress
This mattress contains one long piece of metal wire coiled into numerous springs. There’s also an additional border rod or wire to maintain shape and provide structure. It’s a great value for money option, although sides are machine-stitched rather than hand-stitched, but they are lighter than other models, making them easy to turn. They tend to be less supportive than other mattresses too, so are most suited to guest bedrooms or as children’s beds, where they are used occasionally or will need to be replaced regularly anyway.

Pocket Spring Mattress
This mattress is made from individual pocket springs. Each pocket spring is enclosed within its own fabric pocket. These springs are small in diameter, made from 16-17 gauge wire, and are parallel- or barrel-shaped. The rows of springs are then clipped, tied or glued together. Working independently from each other, each spring reacts only to the pressure applied to that area. This results in a greater level of personalised support and response for each person sleeping on the mattress.
