If you come and visit us we’ll do everything we can to ensure that you have enough time and space to choose the right mattress for you. But before you plan your visit here are some useful points to have a think about.
- Give yourself lots of time so that you won’t be rushing to arrive or to make a decision about which mattress you prefer
- Make a list of any questions that you may have, we’ll be delighted to answer them
- Wear loose comfortable clothing and, if possible, shoes that are easily slipped on and off
- We work on an appointment system so that you know you’ve got the showroom to yourself, but do bring your partner if you both have very different expectations of what the perfect mattress should feel like.
Showrooms can be intimidating places, especially on the high street. Lying down in front of strangers isn’t very comfortable for some people and the tendency is to make a hurried decision to get the whole thing over with. Sitting on the edge of a mattress isn’t going to give you any idea of what it’s going to feel like when you go to bed at night, and the tendency is to choose a mattress that’s too firm.

What happens if I need to return my mattress?
We will do all we can to ensure that the mattress you receive is the one that you’ll be most comfortable on. If it turns out that this isn’t the case and you need something that is firmer or softer we will exchange, free of charge, if you let us know within the first fourteen days that you have an issue with the mattress.
In line with our green credentials, we make mattresses from sustainable materials. These materials are all organic and natural, and we expect our mattresses to last a long time. Our guarantee covers you against faulty workmanship or materials and we hope that you will look after the mattress by turning it regularly, hoovering it occasionally and stripping the bed every now and again to let the mattress breathe.
No guarantee can cover the way that a mattress is used, so please be careful if you need to move your mattress from one room to another and when you’re turning it. A pocket sprung mattress must not be folded or allowed to flop under its own weight.
Peace of mind: Be smart, buy organic!
Buying a new mattress ought to be a pleasurable experience! As MD of Abaca I want you to be a satisfied and contented customer, so I make you the following pledges.
When you order from us we will spend as much time as you need discussing your prospective purchase. We have twenty years experience of manufacturing mattresses that are hand built for individual customers so we know exactly how each of the different materials we use behaves. When we put our experience together with your needs, you end up with exactly what’s best for you!
The person that takes your order will have responsibility for it all through the production and delivery process. You will be able to ask for that person by name.
If there is any extra information you need after the mattress has been delivered, the same person will deal with any questions you may have.
We have absolute confidence in our product and will give you great customer care. Some retailers offer ‘free’30-day, trials, but we offer you on- going customer care for the whole life of the mattress. Be smart, buy organic!
