Many allergy sufferers choose wool because it is naturally anti-allergy and regulates humidity

Dust mites thrive in warm, damp environments. Wool helps create a drier sleep environment, making conditions less favourable for dust mites while also naturally resisting bacteria and mould.

No.

Every Floks mattress is completely foam free. Instead of memory foam, comfort comes from generous layers of natural British Wool combined with supportive pocket springs. Only a small amount of recycled polyester can be found in our mattresses and only where completely necessary.

This creates a more breathable sleeping surface with excellent pressure relief and long-lasting comfort.

Your mattress shouldn’t have a strong smell. Natural wool can have a light, earthy scent when it’s new, which usually fades within a few days with good airflow in the room. If it doesn’t, get in touch and we’ll help.

A well-made wool mattress should provide 8 to 10 years of comfort.

Regular rotation and turning where applicable helps maintain even wear and prolongs the life of the natural fillings. Because wool is naturally resilient, it continues to perform exceptionally well over time.

Like any quality natural mattress, wool will gently settle as it adapts to your body.

This is completely normal and very different from sagging. Regular rotation and turning (where recommended) helps keep the fillings evenly distributed and maintains comfort for years. We can also help you find the right support level for you so that sagging does not occur.

Many customers find a wool mattress lasts significantly longer than cheaper synthetic alternatives while offering superior breathability and comfort, not to mention the healthier sleep environment that they create,

Because wool naturally regulates temperature and humidity, many people also experience a more comfortable night's sleep throughout the year.

A quality mattress is an investment in your sleep and you spend around a third of your life in bed.

A mattress alone cannot treat back pain, but good spinal support plays an important role in sleeping comfortably.

Floks mattresses combine supportive pocket springs with pressure-relieving natural wool to help keep your body comfortably aligned throughout the night.

Choosing the correct firmness is equally important, and our team can help you select the best option.

It depends mainly on how you sleep and what you weigh. Side sleepers usually suit a softer feel that lets the shoulders and hips sink in. Back and front sleepers tend to prefer medium to firm support that keeps the spine aligned. Our mattresses come in Medium and Firm firmness. If you’re unsure, book a free sleep consultation and we’ll help you choose the right one for you.

Yes.

Side sleepers generally benefit from a mattress that cushions pressure points around the shoulders and hips while maintaining spinal alignment.

Our range includes different comfort levels to suit individual preferences.

Yes. Wool works exceptionally well alongside electric blankets because it naturally regulates temperature and distributes warmth evenly. Always follow the guidance provided by both the mattress and electric blanket manufacturers.

We’d recommend one to keep your mattress fresh for longer. Choose a breathable, natural protector, as a plastic or waterproof one will stop the wool from breathing and undo much of its benefit.
