Free Delivery?? Yes Please!!!

Did you know that March is national bed month? No? Well we didn't want you to miss out so to celebrate we will be offering free delivery on selected memory foam mattresses and toppers.

It is proven that a sound sleep is good for our health and can make you healthier and happier, and we bet you didn't know that it can even add years to your life!! We don't know about you but we think this sounds like a great excuse to have a well earned lie in this month.

To celebrate we are giving you free delivery on selected memory foam mattresses and memory foam toppers to help you get that all important good nights sleep.

Why Memory Foam?

Memory foam has many properties and benefits which have made it so popular when used in mattresses, toppers and pillows. Memory foam is a temperature sensitive visco-elastic material. At room temperature it will mould itself to the shape of the body within a few minutes. Contrast this with a normal mattress that is simply flat, however well sprung, it will never precisely mould to the curves of a human body. This is why many people find that memory foam reduces the symptoms of problems such as back ache, neck pain and arthritis.

If you want to try memory foam but do not want to go to the expense of buying a new mattress then a memory foam mattress topper is the ideal solution. These are a great way to "overhaul" your bed as they sit on top of your existing mattress and can change the feel of your current bed immediately at a relatively low cost.

Enjoy the extra comfort and luxury of a memory foam topper with this Silentnight Impress at just £54.99 delivered for a double. Non-allergenic memory foam moulds to your body shape and returns back to it's original shape and help to relieve aches and pains. This toppers is approximately 3cm deep and has a removable, machine washable, cover.

This 2.5cm deep Quest memory foam topper moulds itself to your body to provide maximum comfort & support. This topper starts from only £24.99 delivered and is non allergenic and orthopaedic.

Our Opulent Dreams memory foam mattress is a steal starting at just £99.99 delivered, which is a staggering saving of £150 off the RRP of £249.99. This memory foam mattress promotes good healthy blood circulation and has heat sensitive, state of the art technology. It responds to body heat and moulds to body contours for the ultimate comfort, therefore reducing pressure on joints relieving minor aches and pains.





This Silentnight Miratex memory foam mattress has been one of our best selling mattresses for the past 5 years. Body moulding memory moam mattresses work with your natural body heat to mould to your curves and relieve uncomfortable pressure points. Memory foam spreads rather than sinks and has a quicker recovery rate whilst offering more stable support. This high density miratex foam absorbs movement from both you and your partner providing no roll together and has unique design posturisation providing extra support where you need it most. This mattress reduces pressure on joints relieving minor aches and pains, has a touch soft quilted knit cover for extra comfort and luxury and is hypo allergenic and dust mite resistant. This mattress is a must have bargain for a mere £199.99 delivered for the double size

Don't forget your Sleepy Head!!

To compliment your new memory mattress or topper these Silentnight memory foam core pillows are £9.99 each or buy 2 for £16, and we're sure you'll agree that's an amazing deal?? These pillows gently cradle your head at the correct angle, to allow the spine to rest in its natural position.

Top 10 Tips for decorating a nursery

Your nursery will be the centre of the world for both you and your new baby so it is vital to make it as comfortable and soothing as possible. Your child will be nurtured within its walls and you, as a parent, will spend many hours here with your child. The memories made in this room will be with your throughout your life.

To help you get started we have put together these ten tips for decorating your nursery.

1) Involve your partner - this is a great way for dads to feel more involved during the pregnancy.

2) Choose a theme - look around for inspiration for the theme of your nursery this may be a colour or even a fabric you have seen. Common themes are animals, bears, nursery rhymes or a classic character, such as Winnie The Pooh. But remember unless you plan on having Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen round with a team of decorators to carry out the transformation, to keep your aspirations in line with your DIY skills!!


3) Set your budget - decide what you can comfortably afford to spend on your nursery. Write a list of the items you really need and a second list of the items you would like to have. Once you have bought everything from your need list if there is any budget left you can then start on the extras.

4) Getting started - there is no right or wrong time to start decorating your nursery but you don't want to leave it too late in case your little bundle of can’t wait to meet you and arrives early!!

5) Choose your furniture - if you are doing coloured walls and/or patterned fabrics it is best to stick to a neutral or natural finish to your furniture. Make sure you order with plenty of time to spare and have your screwdriver ready for assembly!! Don't forget a nursing chair and footstool to make sure you are comfortable during those late night feeds.

6) Choosing your cot - this is one of the biggest purchases you will make so it is important to make sure you are getting the right cot for baby at the right price.

Cots with a drop mechanism on one or both sides will make it easier to lift baby in and out and save any strain to the back.

Teething rails are a great addition to stop baby from chomping on the edge of the cot.

Many cots have storage drawers underneath, perfect for extra blankets.

Cots with adjustable bases are ideal for the transition from baby to toddler, as baby grows you can lower the height of the base so they are always secure in the cot.

7) Light of your life - to encourage good sleep habits in baby invest in a black out blind or curtains. It's a really good idea to install a dimmer switch, which will let you lower the light level during feeds and also stop you bumping into things on the way out of the room.

8) Things are looking up!! - don't forget your baby will spend most of their time looking up so make sure they have something stimulating above the cot. If you're feeling adventurous you could paint or put stickers on your ceiling but a colourful mobile above the cot will do just the job.

9) Finishing touches - you can now enjoy adding all those last little touches like curtains, cushions, photo frames, wall organisers, canopies and mobiles.

10) As all good Scouts know it pays to "be prepared" - now that the nursery is done make sure it is stocked full of all the essentials you will need nappies, nappy bags, nappy rash cream, talc, wipes etc. etc.
