In this day and age, there are so many mattress types available that bed-buying can be a minefield to navigate – especially if it’s been over a decade since you last went bed shopping!

So, we thought it may be helpful to talk through some of the mattress springs and fillings that you may come across on our website and help paint a picture of whether these are right for you.


Good question! How do you find your dream bed? We supply plenty of beds online and customers base their decisions on our product specification, previous experience or perhaps what they are already sleeping on! If you choose to visit us in store we would suggest to relax and treat the showroom as if it was your own bedroom.

Whether you run a massive hotel, or a small bed and breakfast. It's likely you need beds and mattresses which are source 5 rated, also known as 'crib 5'. These are the higher fire standards that hotels, care homes and student lets require. Here at Best Beds Direct we can supply a wide range of contact beds and mattresses, ranging from all qualities and price ranges.


Hop, skip and jump into a new bed this half term!

The end of February is fast approaching, and the first half term of 2020 is upon us.

We all know that a good night’s sleep is pretty essential to giving our best in all we do. The same applies to your kids – their behaviour at home and elsewhere, their performance at school, and their ability to retain all the important information they’re absorbing. Not only are kids’ bodies busy stretching and ageing, but their brains are working overtime, they’re attending after-school clubs, and they’re coming home with more work to do, too.


Day beds and guest beds

Looking for a solution to weekend guests, perhaps grand children or other family members need an ad-hoc place to sleep, but you do not have space for a double bed? Perhaps who don’t want or need a double! A guest bed may be the solution.


Sleep Recovery Time

The England cricket team are currently in South Africa as part of a 4 test match series. This is following on from an emphatic summer 2019 whereby the team one the Cricket World cup in what is being described as the greatest game of cricket of all time! 


New Year, New You

Here at Best Beds Direct, the turn of the New Year – and the start of the new decade – has got us thinking about whether New Year resolutions are an annual waste of time, or a source for positive change. We’ve decided to focus on improving our overall wellbeing this year, with resolutions “for life” aimed at eating better, moving more, and getting more sleep. If you’ve been wondering what to start, stop or continue this year, here’s some ideas to get you inspired!

Mlily mattress price beater!

If you’ve found this blog, and are still reading it then you have probably heard of a mattress brand called Mlily. More so, hopefully you have visited our bed shop in Thetford, Norfolk and tried the Mlily mattresses we have out on display in our showroom. We get plenty of calls from members of the public who have actually tried Mlily out at other stores, across the country, then called us for our best price guarantee.


What’s the difference between tufts or quilted mattresses?

We regularly have customers come into our bed shop in Thetford, Norfolk, looking for a range of beds and mattresses. A question which frequently pops up is that of tufts on a mattresses. When I say question, I actually mean more of an objection! Some people like them, some people don’t. This is mostly down to perception, or perhaps a bad experience with poor quality mattresses, often as children. I’m going to spend a few moments to explain the difference, and some of my observations from my experience of selling mattresses.
