What are BASIC, PLUS and GOLD?

DREAMZONE BASIC, PLUS and GOLD are JYSK's own brand mattresses. The range contains a large selection of mattress types. The range of mattresses is divided into three categories: BASIC, PLUS and GOLD. This is your general guide when it comes to working out the quality class of each mattress:

Value for money.    When quality is key.    When only the best will do.

Extended guarantee on mattresses

We provide an extended guarantee of up to 5, 10 and 15 years on a number of DREAMZONE mattresses:

Box mattresses: 10 year guarantee on PLUS, 15 year on GOLD.
Spring mattresses: 10 year guarantee on PLUS, 15 year on GOLD.
Foam mattresses: 5 year guarantee on GOLD.

The guarantee on box and spring mattresses covers defects in springs, frame and slats. The guarantee on foam mattresses covers loss of resilience besides the normal settling that will always occur.

Further grading

There is a further grading within each quality level, indicated by a number. The higher the number, the better the quality. In addition, each mattress type is assigned a letter code:

B for box mattress
S for spring mattress
F for foam mattress

D for divan mattress
C for continental mattress
E for elevation bed
T for top mattress and mattress pad

  

These codes allow you to compare different mattresses. For example, a GOLD S10 is better than a PLUS S20, because even though the PLUS number code is higher, GOLD is always better than PLUS. Just as PLUS is always better than BASIC.


Different spring systems


  Bonell springs: Hardened steel springs with thick, hourglass-shaped wire. A sturdy construction in which all springs are interconnected in a frame. 

 Pocket springs: Slender, tubular springs made of hardened steel, each wrapped in a fabric pocket. Provides a supple and noiseless construction with many individual support points.

 Mini Bonell springs:  Like Bonell springs, but slightly lower with a plumper shape.  Multi Pocket springs: Like pocket springs, but smaller and more flexible. Also provide more individual support points. Contained in individual fabric bags, just like pocket springs.
 LFK springs: Cylinder-shaped springs made from strong, hardened steel wire which is more flexible than the wire in Bonell springs. LFK springs are held together in a frame.   


Tips for choosing a mattress

To make sense of what type of mattress and pillows offer the greatest benefit for you you, you need to read the following section. Here’s how to make the right choice: First off, come in and lie down! Once you’ve got comfy your JYSK sales assistant can help you, but, first things first. When you choose a mattress, your back should be the first thing you think about. The mattress needs to be firm enough and one factor affecting this is your weight. As a rule, a heavier person will sleep better on firmer mattresses whilst a lighter person should go for a softer mattress. Here are some detailed tips on how to choose the right mattress:

  • The mattress ought to be at least 10 cm longer than your height and wide enough to contain your elbows when you lie on your back with your arms resting alongside your body.

  • Over the course of a night we typically perspire 200-500 ml. A washable top mattress is a good way of preventing the mattress from getting damp. If you perspire a great deal, it may be a good idea to choose a mattress upholstered with wool or cotton which offer a better absorption.

  • Make sure you choose a suitable base for the mattress. For example, if the base is to be raised and lowered, an adjustable bed base is the only option.

 

  • Over time a felt, latex or foam mattress will start to show slight but natural indentations. This does not affect the quality, but it can be prevented by turning and brushing the mattress at regular intervals.


Different mattress types

     Box mattress
A box mattress consists of a spring system on top of a wooden frame which in principle must only have legs or runners placed underneath it, but you can also put it in a bed frame if you wish. The base is solid and this means that the box mattress cannot be bent or turned.

     Spring mattress
A spring mattress does not have a solid frame and must lie on a slatted base in a bed frame or an elevation bed. It consists of different types of spring and can be turned; if you do this regularly you will extend the lifetime of the mattress.

     

Top mattress
A top mattress provides greater comfort and absorbs, amongst other things, perspiration which helps the mattress last longer. A mattress pad is thin but effectively protects the actual mattress and is easy to wash and dry.


     Foam mattress
A foam mattress is made from a solid or layered piece of foam and should lie on a slatted base in a bed frame. It can be turned and is ideal for portable guest beds, or can also be used together with an elevation base.
