Sumptuous fillings

A sign of the level of luxury and quality within a Gainsborough Beds mattress is the high quality fillings that will last and last. Unlike many other companies today, we will not substitute lesser, cheaper fillings at the expense of comfort and durability.

Natural hair

This is an important commodity being very resilient and highly durable. It has an inherent ability to recover to its original shape. Gainsborough Beds containing hair have a distinctive and luxurious feel.

Cashmere

One of the ultimate upholstery fillings, providing unsurpassed softness and durability.

Mohair

Soft luxurious feel with great durability

Pure new merino wool

Purest new merino wool provides warmth in winter and coolness in summer

Lambswool

A luxury layer which is softer than hair and is responsive and supportive. It remains warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Silk

When carded with wool, silk adds a further soft luxurious feel.

Cotton felt

bed fillings

A primary comfort layer that allows the mattress to breathe and recover shape rapidly.

Foam

This is a man-made filling, now widely found in luxury upholstery. Gainsborough Beds feature this in selected models.

Soft white fibre

This is a man-made filling which is hypoallergenic and is beneficial both at the top and base of mattress fillings.

Bonded fibre

A deeper soft white fibre layer offering resilience and comfort.

Weight guide

As a weight guide we prefer not to stipulate exact weights for certain models as everybody's body shape and preference is slightly different. We do, however, suggest the following guide:

Softer tension

approximately 76kg (12 stone)

 

Medium tension

between 76/101kg (12 to 16 stone)

Firmer tension

101kg and above (16 stone)

too hard

too soft
