POLL: Does the appearance of a mattress without sheets matter to you?

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

Let's go ahead and state the obvious: mattresses have never been a visual feast for the eyes. White, cream or covered in dated patterns - that's the norm. You're going to cover it up with sheets anyway so what's the problem?

But suddenly the way a mattress looks uncovered seems to be a focal point for buyers.

So we're asking the question: does the appearance of your mattress without its sheets on really matter to you?

YES! How a mattress looks definitely adds appeal to the product

NO! How a mattress looks isn't important - only how it feels

Add in Hiberno-English; Long pants are English trousers Shorts are English men's underwear (boxer type) English shorts are Irish short pants Togs are English sports shorts. Swim togs are English swimwear To tog out is an Englishman changing into his sportswear. Also means to get yourself ready, gather up all that's needed for whatever it is you plan to do. A press is an English cupboard or wardrobe. A hot-press is an English airing cupboard (both usually have immersion tank in them). St Stephens day or Stephens Day is the same day as England's Boxing Day (26 Dec) Going to the bog is cutting turf for fuel, an Englishman would be visiting the toilet. A boreen (in a town) is an alley(-way) or lane (way) in England. A flat in Ireland is local authority/public accommodation An Irish apartment is privately owned/rented A shift is not a period of work hours .... Going for a ride does not mean you going for a drive for pleasure .... Having a fag is smoking a cigarette - I shudder to think what the Americans interpret that as !

I’ve just had a think about this. Bearing in mind, a standard UK king size mattress is 150x200... or really by converting exactly 5 feet into metric, it's 152.4, a standard King Size mattress would be 7.5 cm smaller than the frame, which means by placing it central to the slatted base, I would have +/- 3.5 cm gap at each side. Also, a mattress is never a square block, it has got its roundness, so allegedly, when considering you also place a mattress protector and the base sheet, the gap is most likely reduced further. So if I were to buy a ‘standard’ King Size mattress, I could use it – given the weight of the mattresses, I don’t think it is going to move around. A 5' mattress would allow me to tuck the duvet at foot-end as well as at the sides, or I could show off the frame. And of course, I’d find it easier to change the bed linen. Alternatively, the duvet normally overhangs at the sides of the bed, so the gap would be hidden from sight anyway. Technically, I can’t see anything stopping me from doing it. Also, due to the design of the bed, the mattress would be is partly inset into the frame, so the gap would only be seen (in terms of the slatted base), if looking at the bed from above, which I’d never do. Is this 'logical' thinking, or might I have missed something ?

Yes, I have tried linen but have never liked it to wear or anything else. The natural messy look and texture doesn't suit me nor do I like the feel of it although I do have a mid-century chair covered in lemon-lime linen. I like it on some other people and I can understand why some people like it but personally adore the crisp shiny sensual feel of thick sateen sheets ... luuurve the feel so much. Not sure why one has to be better than the other, they are very different and suit different people. A previous boyfriend loved them so when he stayed over he asked me to go shopping with him to buy something similar. Whenever I visit the States I buy myself another set of them or a new duvet set ... they tend to have them in high thread, brighter colours and interesting designs there while being affordable at reasonable prices for the quality.

No! Don’t use pink stuff paste or a magic eraser! Pink stuff spray is fine but not the paste. We have spare doors at work and have done tests on them. You should not use a product that is harsh such as paste because in time it will take the surface of the door off. If however your doors are so bad that they are ready for replacing you have nothing to loose. I’m now monitoring the removal of marks with baby wipes. For some strange reason they seem to shift a multitude of sins.
