Hotpicks:
Featuring sleek, tapered table legs made of metal, the Dansk side tables set makes a durable accessory that is very easy on the eye. The smaller table fits easily under the larger one for convenient storage when not in use.
For side sleepers who prefer a plush top and firm base, the Spinal Supreme mattress has its topper in latex that contours around the curves of your body. This puts less pressure on the hips and shoulders, allowing you more natural rest. Firm pocketed springs also help distribute your body mass evenly.
Plush and comfortable, the Grande sofa's zero-wall mechanism inclines the seat and backrest forwards and outwards so it can be placed right up close to a wall with minimal space in between.
