A good mattress will make a huge difference to your sleep. The most common request is for a firm orthopaedic mattress which of course we have for sale. However there is more to a mattress than firmness and at Archers we look to find the correct level of comfort and support for each individual person.

For example, a childrens mattress needs to be a bit softer to allow for a child being lighter. For people with a bad back we would recommend a zoned system, eg Silentnight Miracoil or Sealy Posturepedic, where your hips and shoulders are especially supported.

There are a huge variety of mattresses on the market today and we are pleased to advise you whether you are looking for a cheap mattress for the spare guest bed or a super king size mattress for the master bedroom.

Our sprung mattresses use one of three types of spring system:

Open coil - 3 inch diameter, inter-connected spring units that make a low cost, robust and comfortable mattress. The lower the spring gauge the thicker the wire and the firmer the mattress.

Flexiform - includes proprietary brands such as Sealy and Silentnight. There are approximately twice as many springs than open coil offering a much more responsive sleep surface.

Pocket sprung - individual unconnected small springs, very responsive and shape forming. There are typically 3 to 4 times more springs in a pocket sprung mattress than in an open coil mattress.

Foam mattresses and especially memory foam mattresses have become increasingly popular over the last few years. They have the advantage of being extremely light and very durable. It is a quirk of the UK bed market that we British like our springs. The Europeans have always been huge fans of foam and with modern technology the foam mattresses are a hard act to follow.

Note that throughout our web site, we use three categories for firmness - extra firm, firm and medium firm. As a rule the lighter you are the softer you need the mattress. Kids mattresses especially are made a little bit softer.

When it comes to a good bed, it tends to be the mattress that makes or breaks its comfortableness.

Too soft a mattress can mean a lot of tossing and turning, while an overly firm one can lead to back pain and general discomfort. Luckily, there are a wide range of mattresses that you can now choose from at Archers Sleepcentre, with each catering to a specific need.

For example, you can get orthopaedic ones especially designed for those with back problems, while memory foam mattresses are advanced products that mould themselves to your body shape, meaning that you can get a perfect night's sleep.

As the Sleep Council states, how you achieve night-time comfort is completely down to individual preference, so it's important to make sure you get the best mattress for you.

Single mattresses

Mattresses are vital to the quality of your sleep no matter how big they are.

There are a variety of single mattresses suited to all kinds of needs, whether you want traditional sprung products or more sophisticated foam mattresses optimised for maximum comfort.

You can get single mattresses that range from medium-firm to extra-firm support, so there are plenty of options to choose from.

Single mattresses come in a number of different coverings, offering further choices when it comes to revamping your bed.

Double mattresses

When it comes to larger mattresses, it is even more important to get the right one if you're likely to be sharing your bed with another person - who will probably have their own needs and desires in terms of the type of double mattress they sleep on.

If you both love to drift off to sleep in soft surroundings or prefer firmer mattresses, it is easy enough to decide which product to get.

However, if you each have different preferences, it might be worth looking into memory foam mattresses.

They use body heat to determine where the mattress should be soft and where it should be harder, so both of you can have the perfect night's sleep on your respective sides of the bed.

King size mattresses

It's a lovely experience to be able to laze in a huge bed on a relaxing weekend morning - but it's unlikely to be as nice if your mattress isn't as comfortable as you would like.

King size mattresses again range from medium-firm to extra firm support and you can also get them in a variety of thicknesses.

Whether you opt for a standard sprung mattress or a foam one, there are plenty of choices available.

Super king size mattresses

Size isn't always everything - but if you can fit a super king size bed into your house, it will likely be the site of many a long, lazy lie-ins on a comfortable mattress.

You can get super king size mattresses with all kinds of coverings and thicknesses, and can choose from a range of sprung and foam products.

Some mattresses have extra luxurious coverings, while others are simpler in design.

Whatever your needs, there is likely to be a super king size mattress for you.
