Looking for the perfect mattress?

Happy weekend! Hooray for some sunshine!! As I write this, there isn’t a cloud in the sky and it’s actually warm enough to sit outside (in a jumper), can you believe that?! Last time I wrote to you I was really feeling the ‘spring is springing’ excitement and it seems that hasn’t changed.

I hope you’ve all had a good few weeks. We’ve been on site a lot over the last few days, on two different and exciting projects as well as two potential new project meetings. It’s all go!

However, this week I want to talk about bedrooms and more specifically mattresses. You may have seen from my Instagram stories this week that we got a new mattress from Button & Sprung. What an absolute game changer that has been! To top it off we added some new bedsheets from Secret Linen Store who I so highly recommend. Both companies champion top quality workmanship, natural fibres and an absolute obsession with good sleep. You really can’t argue with that.

This week I want to give you 3 tips on how to choose your mattress:

Finding the right mattress can feel overwhelming, but here I break it down into three essential steps to help you make the best choice.

1. Determine Your Firmness Preference

Comfort isn’t just about how a mattress feels—it’s about spinal alignment. When testing a mattress, check that your spine remains straight while lying down. If it kinks or curves, that mattress isn’t right for you. Some brands, like Button & Sprung, even allow different firmness levels on each side of the bed—perfect if you and your partner have different needs.

2. Choose Natural, Sustainable Materials

Opt for mattresses made from natural fillings like cotton, flax, silk, or cashmere. Not only do these materials enhance comfort and breathability, but they are also fully recyclable, reducing landfill waste. Brands like Button & Sprung ensure their products remain eco-friendly and even help recycle your old mattress.

3. Pick Your Mattress Before Your Bed Frame

Many people buy a bed frame first, only to realize later that their ideal mattress requires a different size. Prioritise finding the right mattress first, then choose a bed frame that fits, ensuring ultimate comfort without compromise.

By following these three simple steps, you’ll make a smarter, more sustainable choice for a better night’s sleep.

Linen! Specifically linen bedsheets. As we approach Sping/Summer, now is a great time to invest in some linen bedsheets. Not only are they incredibly soft but they’re also really breathable. Perfect for the warmer months but not lacking in cosiness. To add to that, they don’t really need ironing in the same way cotton sheets do. Do you iron your bedsheets or am I a bit of a weirdo?

I absolutely love the linen range from Secret Linen Store, this is not sponsored - I just love their products!
