Why the French love British Mattresses and Beds
So what is the difference between French and UK bed and why the French are not up to the mark?
There is an exact science involved in manufacturing bed. A mattress should fit right design the shape of your body, not vice versa. The British do best beds and mattresses have a long tradition and designing all of their own, guided to provide the best levels of support and comfort. Pocket-hop has been around for over 100 years and there is no doubt that the British do it better!
With years, British bed manufacturers have found ways to put more and more springs in mattresses (and the foundations under them) to provide better support and better for the spine. Couple that with the best natural fibers such as lamb's wool, mohair, silk, cashmere and horsehair, Mother Nature has given animals keep warm in winter and cool in summer, the moisture transfer, and the pad when you lie, and you have unsurpassed comfort. And Finally, the best UK manufacturers employ specialist craftsmen whose skills have been passed down from generation to generation. You will often find families Whole working in a factory. For example, Hypnos beds (the only bed manufacturer with a UK Royal Decree) is still in the hands of the founding family, after more than 100 years. You just can not find better beds anywhere in the world.
French beds, on the other hand, more often a design of the bed frame with slats and the wall surface "box spring" to support the mattress. "Matelas" often are thin, with a high content of foam, or foam with a few hundred springs. They also seem to be very difficult or very low. Either way, the curves of your back when your muscles relax, and you get up in the morning with back pain, which often takes an hour or more to taste. It is not a Luxury Bed lit luxury () and a refreshing nights sleep!
Comparing these mattresses French with a few hundred British docks with Hypnos bed or dependent (arguably the best bed manufactures in the world) can see the difference in quality. For example, the Hypnos Eminence has over 2,000 independently pocketed springs in the mattress is king upholstered with pure cotton felt, hand-teased white hair, cashmere, silk and lambswool. The three rows of genuine hand sewing the edges of the mattress to ensure greater edge to edge support.
Another example would be dependent emperor has over 3400 pocket springs in the mattress king, which is covered cotton felt, lambs wool, hand-teased merino wool, cashmere, mohair and horse hair. Its five lines of hand stitching provide the largest edge to edge support possible. The mattress rests on a deep divan with 1000 pocket springs and two rows of the right hand side-stitching.
Why expatriates British Beds UK miss much when moving to France? Do the textures / quality / comfort, style and price? Not the French traditionally have beautiful furniture?
Apart from the superior support and comfort that we have already mentioned, the British love the traditional "couch" style it is difficult to find in the beds of the French! Of course, wooden beds and French cabinet is absolutely beautiful, but it is an entirely different concept. Part of the "tradition" of a sofa bed (or "box-spring", as our U.S. customers call it) is the joy of clothing bedding fabulous, although some modern sofas are offered with a choice of fabrics that can be integrated further in you own bedroom design. And then, of course, the opportunity to have boxes installed on the divan base is very desirable, particularly in the closet-less apartments!
