Contrary to popular belief, beds do not have to be hard to be healthy. Natural Rest® beds use a number of proven coil systems, each designed as the heart of a bed's support, then we use the very best comfort layers available to make a range of beds second to none.
springs
The foundation of the bed is the sturdy Sigma Grid®. On top of this will sit either the classic high density Monocoil®, the incredible Monostrand® or individually pocketed springs known as Cocoon Coil Springs®.
Monocoil® Spring Unit
Hourglass-shaped springs are used in the original inner-spring system, called the Monocoil® System. They’re joined together with spiral wires called hali coils to form the unit. The edges are firmed up using extra heavy edge wire to increase the sleep surface.

Monostrand® Spring Unit
The Monostrand® spring unit, is one of the world’s most advanced continuous wire spring systems. It features spirals made from one length of high strength, heat tempered spring wire, which dramatically increases the strength and support of the unit. The spirals are linked together with helicals that run head to toe. This helps eliminate the tendency of two bodies to roll together, resulting in less partner disturbance and a higher quality of sleep.
The spirals in the Monostrand® unit are attached to a firm edge support which is combine with extra "W" edge supports to give unparalleled surface support and stability to the very edge of the bed, increasing the overall sleeping surface. The Monostrand® unit adapts to changes in body weight and shape and will deliver a quality sleep for the life of the bed.

Pocket Spring Unit
Pocket-spring systems are made up of a grid of springs, each in their own fabric pocket. Because each spring is able to work more or less independently (the weight on one spring doesn’t affect those surrounding it) this means the springs can better contour to your individual body shape and provide support without pressure on your shoulders and hips. This unique support also means that roll together is a thing of the past, and because the springs are not wired together motion transfer in the spring unit is reduced to almost zero.

High count mono-coil
Similar in construction to the Monocoil®, But with a lower profile and more coils to give better support. Designed to work in conjunction with a flexible slat frame.

Comfort layers
Foam
All foams are graded by Density (weight per unit) and Hardness (or Softness ). Then they are put into categories depending on intended use. These catagories range from Light (used for pillows or seat backs) to Extremely Severe (used in superior home furniture and public use seating). All the foams used by Wellington Beds fall into the severe - extremely severe use categories. This does not mean that the beds are hard, just that the foams used will last longer.
Foam Density
The density of foam refers to its weight per unit of volume. This is often quoted as kg/m3. For example the foam used in the Amethyst is 37kg/m3. Density is important because it relates to a foam's ability to perform in its application. It is possible to have two foams with the same softness but differing in density, The higher density foam will outlast the lower density foam and will not lose its loft (height) as quickly.
Hardness (Softness)
"Hardness" is used to describe the way a foam feels and should not be confused with density. The lower the density of the foam the more it will tend to "bottom out" under heavy loads, where as the higher density foam with the same hardness will be able to support heavier loads without "bottoming out". This means there is less chance of feeling the springs through the comfort layers - (a common fault in cheaper products).
Latex
Latex is made from 100% natural rubber extracted from the Hevea Brasiliensis tree, a renewable resource grown in Malaysia.
Natural Latex is first made of millions of tiny latex bubbles and during the final stages of its production process, all the bubbles (cells) open up and foam. These opened bubbles are called “Open Cell”. The open cell structure is so unique that there is no air trapped within the cells. One of the advantages of this open cell structure is that body heat will not be trapped in an air pocket as occurs within a closed cell. This means it is cooler and more comfortable throughout the night. Another advantage is that vibration is easily absorbed and disturbances are reduced to ensure a quiet and comfortable night’s sleep. Superior comfort and lasting orthopaedic support are maximised by the fact that Natural Latex adapts to your body weight and contours to your body thus becoming more comfortable as time goes by.
Natural Latex is proven to be significantly more antibacterial (providing non-allergenic, dust free properties) and because of its open celled breathing properties resists moisture build-up, giving superior health benefits.
The difference between Natural Latex and Synthetic (unnatural, man made) Rubber is simple: One is natural and the other uses substances such as coal, oil, natural gas and acetylene. Natural Latex is both environmentally friendly (being extracted from a renewable resource) and does not use toxic substances or release harmful waste products into the environment in the manufacturing process.
wool
Wool is a natural insulator that helps regulate your body temperature promoting a better nights sleep. The factors that contribute to this are as follows:
- An Insulator: Wool is the perfect insulator. In either cold Arctic or hot Desert conditions wool has proven to be effective in keeping the body warm or cool because of the tiny air pockets inside the wool fibres which either help to retain or disperse body heat.
- Cushions & Comforts: The springy, naturally resilient wool fibre batting structure contains an abundance of air. This fibre/air combination acts to cushion the body and reduce pressure points on the body.
- Absorbent: Wool handles moisture better than other fibres without losing its insulating properties. Wool has the ability to absorb large amounts of moisture vapour without feeling wet and clammy. The average person gives off a pint of water vapour as perspiration during an eight-hour sleep period under a Duvet or Blanket. The ability of the fibre to handle this moisture is very important. Wool responds to your temperature changes, drawing moisture away from the body so you can sleep comfortably.
- Durable: Wool can bend itself 20,000 times without breaking and lasts for years without losing its resilience.
- Non-Allergenic: Dust Mite resistant. Wool dries very quickly and dust mites don’t like dry places.
- Natural fire retardant.
- Naturally mildew and mould resistant.
Due to its physical structure and its natural chemical make up, wool handles body moisture under warm and cool sleeping conditions in a manner superior to any competitive cotton, down or synthetic fibre.
