Read on to find out more about Relyon and what their fantastic qualities are.

Pocket spring masters

Seeing as comfort is paramount to Relyon’s operations, it’s no wonder every single one of their mattresses comprises pocket springs. Independently moving pocket springs ensure that the mattress surface can mould with the contours and movements of your body whilst you sleep, ultimately providing you with total body support and healthy spine alignment. Coming in a variety of mattress firmnesses, the individual springs are made more rigid the firmer the mattress is. Continue reading to find out which mattress tension is right for you:

Relyon Buying Guide
  • Preferred side sleeper. a softer or medium support mattress would be best for preferred side sleepers. Due to the extra cushioning these tensions can provide to pressure points such as the shoulders and hips, the mattress surface can promote healthy spine alignment in this sleeping position.
  • Preferred back or front sleeper. differently, back and front sleepers will need a firmer mattress tension to have healthy spine alignment as they sleep. If you wake up with back or joint pain, extra firm support may be necessary to help you combat this.
  • Sleep in all positions. neither too firm for side sleeping or too soft for back and front sleeping, a medium firm mattress tension is ideal for those who sleep in all positions.
