More About Beds

Beds are the centrepiece of your bedroom and a well-loved sanctuary at the end of a long day. Investing in a sturdy bed frame and a quality mattress will give you years of relaxation and much-needed rest.

We have bed frames available in stylish designs to suit any surrounding, built with comfort and practicality in mind. Pair with a selection of our sumptuous bedding for a luxury finish, perfect for getting that great night's sleep.

• What is the order of sheets on a bed? 

  • Bed sheets should be ordered as follows:

    1. Bed Skirt

    2. Mattress Protector or Topper

    3. Fitted Sheet

    4. Flat Sheet

    5. Blanket

    6. Quilt / Duvet with Cover

    7. Bed Pillows

    8. Accent or Scatter Cushions

    9. Throws & Blankets

    Not every bed requires all nine of these, so you can just opt for the ones you use.

• How do you make a bed cosy? 

  • Beds are made cosier by adding layers of textures and fabrics. Start with a mattress topper for added comfort. To create extra warmth, try using blankets or quilts underneath your bedsheets. There is an old saying when it comes to bed warmth - "a blanket underneath is worth two on the top".

    Increase your duvet tog, a 13.5 tog is ideal for the winter months. Picking a duvet cover made of thicker materials, such as a fleece duvet cover will provide the ultimate cosy and warm setting.

    Adding piles of cushions and thick fleecy throws give a real sense of warmth and creates the perfect place to snuggle down on cold nights.

• Which mattresses are the most comfortable? 

  • Memory foam mattresses are considered to be the most comfortable mattresses. Foam is designed to mould to the contours of your body, putting less pressure on joints and allowing for a comfortable night's sleep.

    For those who suffer from back pain, a foam mattress will offer the most support to reduce back problems. Lower back pain is also said to be alleviated best by a medium firmness mattress.

• How big is a King Size bed in the UK? 

  • 150 x 200cm.

    King size beds are the most popular bed size for couples as they offer a bit more room than the traditional double size bed.

    A super king size bed measures wider at 180cm but is still 200cm in length.

    Top tip: If you have a partner who has a habit of stealing the covers, why not upgrade your duvet to the next size up? That way you will have an extra 30cm or so of cover to share.
