Soft, Medium or Firm?

SOFT:

Soft mattresses are designed to gently conform to your body, often described as providing the sensation of “sleeping on a cloud.” With a Medium Pocket Spring support system, extra thick comfort layers, and a luxurious merino-filled topper, they are ideal for those who find side-sleeping uncomfortable on firmer mattresses. These mattresses are perfect for anyone who prefers a deeper, plush cushioning hug and a softer overall feel.

MEDIUM:

Our most popular choice—80% of our customers choose a medium mattress. If you're like most of our customers, this could be the perfect fit for you. Medium mattresses provide a great balance, allowing you to settle into the mattress without sinking too much, often described as an “excellent blend of contouring comfort and support.” With a Medium Pocket Spring system for support and a luxurious merino wool topper for comfort, this option is ideal for those who need more support than a soft mattress but still enjoy a touch of plushness.

FIRM:

Firm mattresses provide enhanced support compared to medium options while still offering comfort. They are a great choice for those who prefer more stability beneath them. Featuring a Firm Pocket Spring system and a luxurious merino wool topper, this option provides a more supportive feel without being overly rigid. Firm mattresses may require a short adjustment period, especially if you're transitioning from a softer mattress.

EXTRA FIRM:

For those who need maximum support, our extra-firm mattresses offer a firmer sleep surface while still providing a hint of comfort. Designed with an Extra Firm Pocket Spring system and a high-density support layer, these mattresses provide a stable, solid foundation. Despite the added firmness, they still feature a luxurious merino topper for a touch of softness. Extra-firm mattresses are ideal for anyone looking for a very firm feel and can take a few nights for your body to fully adjust.

Merino Wool

Merino wool is a natural fibre that is thinner and softer than other types of wool. Merino wool is comfortable, eco-friendly and substantially obtained from the South Island of New Zealand. Merino wool stands high among nature’s miracle materials - and that's why we think it's perfect for making mattresses.

The natural waviness (or crimp) of wool gives each mattress a lovely springiness that’s hard to achieve with synthetic fibres. In addition to luxurious comfort properties, merino wool is known for many other advantages. NZ Wool Foundation highlights that ‘Merino wool has great insulation properties, it can often help to keep you cooler in summer and warmer in winter than other synthetic materials. Merino wool is naturally hypoallergenic as it does not contain many of the elements that frequently cause allergies in people, and is known to be more resistant to bacteria, mould and mildew then synthetic fibres’.*

As a company Luxury Orthopaedic Beds Ltds knows and appreciates the benefits of Merino wool. In this beautiful county of New Zealand, raising sheep is something Kiwi’s do well, however the wool industry is lacking support. We are proud to be not only offering an Eco-friendly and Sustainable product for our customers but also proud to be able to support the Wool industry by manufacturing one of New Zealand’s renewable resources into luxurious high-end beds. We couldn’t think of a better way to make a mattress.

Orthopaedic 5 Zone Pocket Spring System

While a traditional mattress features springs that are all attached to each other by wire, Luxury Orthopaedic Beds ltd do things a little differently with their unique take on the 5 Zone Pocket Spring system. Unlike the traditional standard spring system, pocket springs have complete autonomy from each other contained in individual fabric pockets and arranged in vertical columns. Offering more freedom, less roll-together and reducing partner disturbance compared to the traditional mattress system.

Each time you move the pocket spring system responds and moves with you. Each spring is free to retort to individual pressure regarding the weight placed on it, tending to support in the contouring body shape. Pocket spring mattresses tend to create less strain on the body, comply with the body’s shape helping to maintain spinal alignment and provide better support than a traditional mattress. More Luxurious with 5 main zones, offering variable support for main areas of your body, designated for head, shoulders, lower back, thigh and feet. Zoned support divides the mattress into these different support levels to help provide natural spinal alignment and support where you want it most.

Partner Disturbance - Minimised

Our Orthopaedic 5 Zone Pocket Spring System means that our mattresses not only tend to be comfy and supportive, they are also known to minimise partner disturbance. Disturbance is minimized because when one person is shifting about in the night, they are only affecting the springs directly below them, as opposed to the traditional interlinked spring systems.

It is also said that comfort layers can also dampen down movement from a partner. Our luxurious merino comfort helps to conform and soften the feel of someone moving. So even if you or your partner are active sleepers, you can both enjoy the comforts of the reduced partner disturbance advantages our mattresses offer.

Mattress Encasing

Our mattress is specially designed to include mattress encapsulation technology. Essentially, encapsulation is a ‘box’ of high density foam support border that reinforces the whole mattress. The outer border is designed to help improve mattress durability, and help reduce the likelihood of edge sagging and “roll-off” in comparison to a traditional mattress. Additionally, the encapsulated mattress also features a layer of support foam above the springs. This acts like a “lid” and provides a barrier between the springs and comfort layers providing an additional surface, ensuring the comfort layers of your mattress are well supported.

Mattress encapsulation technology is designed with edge-to-edge support in mind, meaning that the sleeping space is maximized, allowing you to sleep right to the edge of your mattress (please note: sleeping directly on the encasing may have a slight variation to sleeping in the middle of the bed). This is an added benefit if you share your bed with a partner or children.

Upholstered Headboards

Handcrafted in New Zealand using the same fabric that covers the bases of our beds, these headboards are designed to complement your bed and will enhance your bedroom with extra style.

Drawers

In most houses storage is at a premium, and built-in wardrobe chest drawers are becoming a thing of the past. Our under-bed built-in drawers allow you to use the space to store life's essentials while giving you back some space in your bedroom. Our drawers are made in a fabric to match the base of your bed so that when they are closed they blend in with the rest of your base.

Bed Heights

People come in all sorts of sizes, our beds come with a choice of two feet heights to allow you to customize your bed further. While all feet need to be the same height on your bed, this allows you to choose between our Standard height legs or our Short Legs. Giving you the option to personalize the height of your bed to suit your comfort level getting in and out of bed.

Standard Legs
Our standard legs are 145mm high, which makes the top of the bed approx 740mm from the floor.

Short Legs
Our short legs are 75mm high, which makes the top of the bed approx 670mm from the floor.
