Who Makes Rest Assured And Where Are They Made
Established in 1888, Rest Assured offers luxury British craftsmanship at affordable prices. Their UK manufacturing facilities in rural Lancashire produce a wide range of mattresses as well as upholstered divans and headboards, built with quality and safety in mind. Their local Bed-making experts have a combined experience of over 100 years. Each piece is handcrafted with the focus on attention to detail, using tried and tested techniques. When I ran my hand over a Rest Assured cover in-store, it felt nicely finished and properly stitched, not rough or flimsy.
Rest Assured conduct their own stringent safety and quality tests in their independently accredited SATRA and BSI testing lab, ensuring that all products are properly and carefully constructed to the highest British and EU standards. Mattresses can be flammable when exposed to fire so Rest Assured mattresses will also have to pass stringent fire safety requirements.
What Is Inside A Rest Assured Mattress And What Makes Them So Good
All of their mattresses are made with premium zoned pocket springs combined with luxurious fillings such as British wool, fresh fibers, silk and latex to offer superb comfort and tailored support. They promote responsible management of the world’s forests as a member of the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®). They also meet the REACH regulations on the materials they source (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals). That said, those richer natural fillings can add a bit of weight, so rotating it can be more of a two-person job than some lighter foam-only mattresses.
Rest Assured are so confident in their craftsmanship they offer a full 5 year manufacturer’s guarantee on all of their mattresses, upholstered divan beds and headboards. They have also received recognition from the Good Housekeeping Institute, with their British wool mattresses being awarded the prestigious Good Housekeeping Institute approval. The group found that their mattress provides the right balance between comfort and support, in any sleeping position while regulating temperature effectively. The seal of approval shows that the independent body is so confident in the materials and craftsmanship used they are willing to offer an additional limited warranty. I did find, when sitting right on the edge, it compresses a bit more than a firmer foam-edge design, so if you perch on the side a lot it might not feel as solid as some rivals. Also, a 5 year guarantee is fine, but at this price point I do sometimes like to see longer.
