Grether & Wells is somewhat of a legacy brand in the world of mattresses. Since their founding in 1859 it’s quite likely that without realising you have already benefitted from their innovation in springs and tufting at some point in your life. This makes it unsurprising then, that the mattresses that they make themselves are the crème de la crème. The Regal is a shining example of what nearly 200 years of experience can produce.
Nowadays it’s hard to know what a good mattress looks like. There are so many different types from pocket sprung, to natural fibre, to memory foam, or a hybrid of the lot. Brexit has further complicated matters as UK mattress manufacturers are no longer subject to the strict safety standards that were in place, for good reason, when part of the EU. In my ongoing search for the best mattresses out there, I will help clarify the haze for you. A stop at Sleep.8 on Kings Road, Chelsea is a good place to start, sleep, and end quite frankly.
