If you’ve been looking for a new divan bed that combines good looks and high quality with a reasonable price, look no further than the Rest Assured Eliot.

What you can expect from a Rest Assured Bed

For well over 100 years, Rest Assured have been improving on their mattress designs, pioneering the pocket spring industry in the UK and backing up their products with a solid warranty.

Where many manufacturers can build a pocket sprung mattress, they don’t provide the additional fillings you’ll find in a Rest Assured mattress. What this means is that your mattress will be comfortable, but won’t last more than 5 years. With the Rest Assured supportive filling system, your mattress has added support and can last 50% longer than other pocket spring mattresses in the same price range.

Features of the Pocket Classic Eliot Divan Bed

• The Pocket Classic Ortho range has been designed with a higher tension spring to provide additional support to those who prefer a firmer bed.
• Rest Assured have added additional layers of supportive fillings to protect the pocket springs and provide a luxurious feel.
• 1000 pocket springs are included. These springs are individually responsive and adjust to suit your body’s pressure points.
• The mattress top is traditionally hand tufted using soft felt tufts.
• This is a no-turn mattress, so there’s no need to worry about remembering to flip it over.
• A side stitched mattress border gives the mattress a traditional look and provides additional support to the sleeping surface.
• The divan base has a padded top offering additional support and softness.
• Storage options in the divan base make this a very versatile bed to own. In the Double and Kingsize models the base is available with no drawers, 2 drawers and 4 drawers, with continental drawer options also available.
• The Eliot is available in a full range of sizes, including 3FT Single, 4FT6 Double and 5FT Kingsize.

Overall, the level of quality offered by this bed far surpasses it’s price point of under £500 (in the Kingsize). If you’re looking for a firm but supportive pocket spring divan, the Eliot is one of the best beds on the market.

I’m not a big believer in orthopaedic beds for bad backs. I’d have thought that lying on a rock hard bed would cause more back damage than good, but medical advice says otherwise, so who am I to argue?

To overcome my skepticism of firm tension mattresses, I decided to test our the Rest Assured Pocket Classic Ortho, Austen 1400, a 5FT divan bed that had been sitting in our demo area for a couple of months.

Remember, I’m not a fan of firm beds!

The Austen is, like all other Rest Assured beds, extremely well made. It uses pocket springs for it’s spring unit (1400 of them) and is topped with natural fillings, so it still feels soft even though it is firm.

Additional features include smooth silk and pure wool fillings, and the mattress is hand-tufted to give it that feeling of quality.

The mattress doesn’t need to be turned either, which is probably a good thing if you’ve got a bad back!

The big question: Is it comfortable?

Umm, yes. Surprisingly it isn’t bad. It’s definitely more firm than I’d like, but I still managed a good nights sleep and didn’t wake up with a sore back. I don’t know the science behind orthopeadic beds and how they can help people with back/spinal problems, but if they do help you, the Rest Assured Pocket Classic Ortho Austen 1400 is the perfect bed for you.

The Sanctuary

The Sanctuary is the entry-level mattress in this range, with 1200 pocket springs (for a medium tension), and a luxuriously soft pillow top.
