Ask Us

Last month I bought an orthopedic mattress in Argos. I have a bad back, the mattress is less than one month old and I am sinking into it which is not good for me. I believe they have sent me the wrong mattress. I'll will ask for an exchange, but first I need your help.

I need a hard mattress, extra firm.  Could you direct me to some so I do not have to change again.  I can send you the code of the Argos mattress if that will help.

You need to visit your local bed retailer and try the firmess of the mattress before you buy.  Most beds are available in firm, medium and soft ratings but these labels can vary from brand to brand.  Comfort is very subjective.  There are no universal standards of firmness in common usage in the UK.    Because of this we don't give our beds a firmness rating like some manufacturers. Your main aim is to achieve good "posture" in bed.  Too soft and your body will slouch - often leading to back pain - and too firm and you will cause discomfort at pressure points such as your hips and shoulder.  Ideally the mattress should mould to the shape of your body while remaining supportive.  When you lie on your side your spine should be horizontal and you should be able to turn easily.

We do label some of our mattresses "Ortho" to indicate that they are firmer than other beds in the range.  Look out for the Kassia, Marie and Timara.  These mattress have a tufted finish which helps create the firmer feel.
