Jones & Tomlin

Jones & Tomlin, a family-run bed and mattress retailer since 1946

Jones & Tomlin is an independent British retailer specialising in high-end beds, mattresses and bed linen. The company was founded in Worthing in 1946 and, according to its own presentation, has been trading for eight decades, an anniversary it celebrated with the creation of the Heritage Anniversary Bed, developed together with the manufacturer Enchanted House Beds.

The company describes itself as an independent family business and states that it is one of the leading independent bed retailers in the United Kingdom. Its approach is based on its selection of manufacturers and no-pressure advice, with the stated aim of making the choice of a bed or mattress straightforward.

Range of mattresses and beds

The catalogue is organised by size, filling, firmness feel, construction type and brand. Available sizes include Small Single (75 x 190 cm), Single (90 x 190 cm), Small Double (120 x 190 cm), Double (135 x 190 cm), King (150 x 200 cm), Super King (180 x 200 cm) and Large Super King (200 x 200 cm), as well as zipped sizes and zipped & linked configurations.

Mattresses are classified by filling — natural, natural latex, memory foam, gel foam and support foam —, by feel — from soft to extra firm — and by type: pocket springs, traditional springs, hybrids, turn free and adjustable. The company presents itself as a specialist in pocket spring mattresses with natural fillings such as wool, cotton, horsehair, alpaca and silk.

In the beds section, the range covers divan beds, bedsteads, ottoman beds, guest beds, sofa beds, adjustable beds and bed bases, with the same options of size, filling, firmness and brand as the mattresses.
