Buying a mattress is possibly one of the most confusing experiences in the bed world. I mean is anyone really sure what the difference is between a deep quilted, micro quilted, non turn or pillow top … didn’t think so. Well never fear the bed doctor is here to clear up any confusion and recommend the right mattress for you.
Deep Quilted, this mattress is pure luxury. The quilt pattern runs through deep levels of upholstery on the mattress, this helps to keep all the fillings in place and gives the mattress a more luxurious feel. The Onyx from Highgrove Beds is a lovely example of a deep quilted mattress.
Tufted, this is another luxury mattress where all the fillings in the mattress are secured with tufts these go through the top to the bottom of the mattress. One of our top sellers the Pashmina Mattress from Dura Beds is a great hand tufted mattress. The Pashmina is also finished with fabric containing cashmere making it super soft.

Pillow Top, has a deep layer of upholstery made from foam, memory foam, or fillings. This is attached to the mattress creating an additional layer hence the name Pillow Top. We have a great range of pillow top mattresses including the New Signature Pillow Top Mattress. The New Signature mattress is the ultimate for comfort and support. Bedmaster has designed this mattress to encourage a perfect nights sleep.

Non Turn, A non turn mattress means exactly that, it is manufactured for added convenience. It also contains some sort of filling such as memory foam or latex so it doesn’t need to be turned over, we do however recommend that the mattress is turned 180 degrees from end to end. The Pocket 2000 from Bedmasters is a great non turn mattress. The mattress offers superb support and comfort and is made with quality fillings to ensure you have the best nights sleep.
Micro Quilted, Is a popular method used of securing all the fillings the stitching is done from end to end resulting in a smoother sleeping surface. We highly recommend the Imagine Mattress from Joseph, this micro quilted mattress comes with a winning combination of a pocket sprung system with a generous layer of supportive memory foam.
Dual Purpose, A dual sleeping surface offers two different finishes, the most popular is the dual season with one side memory foam to keep you warm in the winter and on the other a polyester to keep you cooler. You can also get a dual sided memory foam for those people who like to turn their mattresses. We recommend the Apollo Calypso pocket sprung mattress; this is a hand tufted luxurious mattress is also great for allergy suffers as it is hypo-allergenic.
