Best Bed Buys 2017
Choosing a new bed and mattress poses many dilemmas. Comfort will be a top priority, but the style will also feature highly. When you’ve got so many bed options at your disposal, including divans, four-posters or bed sofas, as well as many mattress types such as memory foam, gel or innerspring, it’s easy to see how making the right choices requires meticulous research and consideration. Making the right decisions when you buy beds or mattresses is important to ensure you get a good night’s sleep and provide the vital support and comfort your body demands. Your bed or mattress should also suit the user and style of the room and offer excellent durability.
Mattress Considerations
Before you go bed shopping, take time to consider what you want from a new bed or mattress. Whether on your front, back or side, how you tend to sleep can dictate what type of mattress might suit you best. Consider who will be using the mattress; children or occasional users are suited to open-sprung mattresses, while two people of different weights sharing a bed may find a pocket-sprung mattress is an ideal choice. Memory foam mattresses are recommended if you suffer from aches and pains in the back. For allergy sufferers, memory-foam mattresses also hold great appeal, as do hypoallergenic mattresses, which are especially suitable if sneezing, itchy eyes and a runny nose are a problem. Choosing a good-quality mattress from a leading brand is always preferable, but bear in mind that no matter which mattress you buy, it will need replacing around every 8-10 years. Always buy new, and choose the best mattress you can afford to fit your budget.

Flooring for complete house
We have used Downs in the past and once again the salesperson was very helpful, answering all my queries. The fitter was equally helpful and able to give knowledgeable advice for a future product. I highly recommend Downs as a local business.
Marian G
Carpet order
From the first enquiry to the fitting of the new carpet, we were warmly welcomed by friendly staff, which helped to make our choice and decisions easy. Carpet came much sooner that originally told but that was great as it meant we could get on with the other changes in the particular room. Many thanks for an excellent service.

What Our Customers Say
James AvisonKev, Ash & Mark, our fitters, have been brilliant. Working at light-speed, they've been thorough, meticulous and professional. It's not every group of tradespeople that you'd be happy to recommend, especially in a predominantly female office environment but these three were respectful, thoughtful and good company to have around. We'd be glad to have them back and the quality of their workmanship is excellent. Thank you.
