Materials & Construction Features

  • The Support Core (Reflex Foam): Our comfortable foldable guest beds for adults primarily feature high-density reflex foam. Unlike memory foam, reflex foam features a quicker "bounce back" time, providing a firmer, more supportive sleep surface that aligns the spine.
  • Vacuum Packed Technology: Every vacuum packed guest bed is compressed using state-of-the-art machinery. This makes delivery more sustainable and allows you to move the bed into the desired room easily before unrolling.
  • Fire Retardant Covers: Safety is at our core. Every guest mattress is encased in a BS7177 fire retardant cover, meeting strict UK safety laws for peace of mind in any home or rental property.
  • Breathable Outer Fabrics: We use lightweight, breathable fabrics for our covers to ensure air circulation, helping to regulate temperature, essential for guest mattresses that may be stored in cupboards or under beds.

How to Care for Your Guest Bed

  • Initial Expansion: After unboxing your vacuum packed guest bed, allow it to sit in a well-ventilated room for 24–48 hours to reach its full depth and dissipate any "new foam" scent.
  • Regular Rotation: To prevent dipping and extend the life of the foam, rotate the mattress from head to toe every 3-6 months, especially if used frequently.
  • Spot Cleaning: Use a damp cloth and mild detergent for any spills; never soak the foam as moisture can damage the internal structure.
  • Proper Storage: If using a foldable guest bed, ensure it is completely dry before folding and storing in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup.
  • Airing Between Uses: Between guest stays, remove all bedding and allow the mattress to air for a few hours to maintain freshness and hygiene.
