The chart below is a guide to which firmness of Chester mattress is likely to suit you best depending on your weight. Please take your age into account as well, the older we are the more likely we are to need a softer mattress. Sleeping positions are completely individual, but latex mattresses are often recommended for side sleepers.

We stock a range of organic mattress sizes both standard UK sizes and European sizes. If you’re buying a mattress for an existing bed, cot or crib it's always best to measure the bed to make sure it's a standard size.

If it's not, we can make one specially for you as we hand make all of our organic mattresses to order, so we can make something in the size you need. Just give us a call on 01269 598491 to discuss your requirements.

The following size guide includes our standard mattress sizes, which also covers mattress toppers

Choosing the right mattress size for your comfort

When deciding which size mattress and bed you need, you should consider the following factors: the size of the room you have, of course!

1. Who the bed or mattress is for
2. How tall you are
3. Whether you will be sharing the bed

1. Who is the bed or mattress for?

 Sleep evolves as you go through life, which means your sleep environment should, too! Choosing the right mattress is key to a good night's rest, but it starts with knowing who it's for.

• For Babies: Tiny sleepers need the perfect fit! Explore our collection of cosy cot mattresses, specifically designed for infant's safety and comfort.
• For Children: Growing kids deserve growing comfort. Check out our range of children's mattresses.
• For Adults: Whether you're tall, petite, share your bed, or prefer extra support, we've got you covered. From compact to spacious options or even custom-made mattresses crafted to your exact specifications—your comfort is our priority.

At every stage of life, we're here to ensure you rest your best. Let us help you find the mattress that fits your lifestyle perfectly!

2. How tall are you?

Your height can significantly influence your choice of mattress and bed size. To cater to taller individuals, we offer a range of king, super king, and European-size mattresses, all measuring 6'6" in length.

If a more compact option suits your needs better, or if you require a custom mattress or bed in a shorter or longer length, we're here to help. Simply reach out, and we'll be delighted to discuss your requirements!

3. Who will you share the bed with?

If you share your bed with a partner, you might want to consider upgrading to a larger, handmade mattress for added comfort. Being disturbed by your partner during the night is one of the leading causes of disrupted sleep. To minimize disturbances and enjoy a more restful, organic sleeping experience, it's worth investing in the largest mattress your budget allows.

The National Bed Federation suggests that a bed should allow both partners to lie side by side, with arms behind their heads and elbows outstretched, without touching.

For a genuinely spacious and relaxing night's sleep, a kingsize or super king-size organic mattress may be the ideal choice. 

Selecting the perfect bed and mattress should be a shared decision, as comfort and support preferences are highly personal. By choosing a handcrafted, sustainably sourced mattress together, you can ensure both of you are delighted with your selection and look forward to many peaceful nights ahead. 

Now, you should know which bed and mattress size is perfect for you. But, if you are still unsure, contact our team to discuss your mattress requirements.

How long will it take before my order is ready?

We only work to order and our usual lead times are 4-6 weeks for a mattress, 6-8 weeks for a bed and mattress.

What happens if I need to return my mattress?

We will do all we can to ensure that the mattress you receive is the one that you’ll be most comfortable on. If it turns out that this isn’t the case and you need something that is firmer or softer we will exchange, free of charge, if you let us know within the first fourteen days that you have an issue with the mattress.

In line with our green credentials, we make mattresses from sustainable materials. These materials are all organic and natural, and we expect our mattresses to last a long time. Our guarantee covers you against faulty workmanship or materials and we hope that you will look after the mattress by turning it regularly, hoovering it occasionally and stripping the bed every now and again to let the mattress breathe.

No guarantee can cover the way that a mattress is used, so please be careful if you need to move your mattress from one room to another and when you’re turning it. A pocket sprung mattress must not be folded or allowed to flop under its own weight. 

The Chester mattress has a 12 year guarantee.

Far too many mattresses end up in landfill, approximately 100,000 a week just in the UK! Our mission is to do everything we can to make sure that none of our mattresses have to be thrown away.  So what can we do?

1. We can re-cover. All our mattresses can be re-covered if you had an unfortunate spill on the cover. We can also replace the top layers of wool if necessary.
2. We can re-furbish. Both of our fibre mattresses can be completely re-made. The fibre is re-opened, fresh added if necessary, and the cover replaced.
3. We can re-cycle. When you buy a new Abaca mattress, we take your old Abaca mattress away to be broken down and re-cycled.

All Abaca mattresses are built to last, but there comes a time when even the best mattress struggles to give you the support you need. If you need a new Abaca mattress, we will give you a 10% discount as a loyal customer.

Each of the options above will be individually priced depending on the size of the mattress and where you are in the UK, please contact us for details.
